@lolxldoubledouble It favors smaller people, but I've seen both big and small do well in Uechi Ryu. The term "ripped" is often used incorrectly. Many believe it to be mean big muscles, but physiologically it simply refers to muscle definition, which you can have at any size. This gentleman, Sensei Guchi, is certainly a good example. Watch him do the kata Sanchin, or better yet, "Uechi-ryu hand conditioning 2." He's definitely ripped for a man his size.
Wow! Very different but great stuff indeed. Hopefully some groups in Okinawa will preserve their real karate for the day that the popular karate world awakes from it's coma.
@tysse73 lets see you when your in your 90s.... By then im sure a smart ass teenie bopper hiding behind his computer screen will say the same about you! { I would slay that old fucker} lol
As dramatic as the voice over was , this was a good video ... basically perfect techniqe and no new variations which can water classical systems down .
This is still basic technique when compared to real Quan fa... He is still blocking then striking. With Quan fa... one strikes and blocks at the same time in one movement.
@Ariel1Dominguez What the hell is Quan fa? lol... just Mandarin for "Fist ways" or "Fist Methods" ... and is what all Chinese refer to as Wushu.(because PRC has turned wushu into a dance most traditional arts from china refer to themselves as Quan fa to distinguish themselves away from Wushu
@Blueslicks321 Ok whats REAL Quanfa then, and how did you compare it? Do they all strike and block at the same time in one movement? Cause last time I check there were thousands of Kung fu styles some hard, some soft, some like to kick more some didnt, every style was different...If your a martial artst you would know there is no REAL Quanfa because there is no ONE quanfa....just countless different styles. lol
@nyhokie1 And even at the range in this video, there's nothing that club could do to stop you. Look closer: he is bellow his hands. If he was two-three feet further back, THEN there would be a problem. And don't forget the natural reflex to draw your arms back to defend your armpits.
I think what happened, was that over time Kata's and forms were over emphasized, especially when karate made it to the USA. When karate became a business all of it's practicality went out the window.
this is not as bad as some of the unrealistic, block and punch bunkai of shotokan and some other sport styles, but there are some tidbits here and there that need to be tweaked in terms of "common parlance attack"... i.e. many people tend to try to box in a serious encounter.
To train for this kind of fighting style, does it matter weather you are ripped, or is it better to stay small and toned?
