Imagine he hits your ankles or arms with his wrist. Yours will just be broken into pieces like the baseball bat. I think this is the real training a real fighter must have.
i always question the use of boards in breaking demos because i know for a fact some are baked to break easy. now when a baseballl bat come into play i perk up a bit. and when the Gentleman does not get it in the first attempt but goes again i like it even more!
It should be mentioned that conditioning techniques are not the martial art itself, rather options that depend on the teacher and the student. You can have great conditioning and bad technique or vice-versa in the martial art world....or just have bad conditioning AND technique like Wing Chun :D
@Zejex15 An unfortunate side effect of training your finger-tips to become like a spear tip (or "nukite" as they call it...a move that to my understanding is only taught in Uechi-Ryu). Just like training with a makiwara...your hands will eventually become like a rough hune stone hammers...and look like one too.
@vmi02raven Shotokan, Tae Kwon Do(Shotokan with a lower body emphasis truely), and Kyokushin Karate have it as advanced technique options that students can pursue, but usally most opp for refocusing on the basics and semi-advanced moves, so it veries.
That's that iron fist training. You make your body hard and invulnerable to attacks, but that last break he did was a block. So if you try to punch him and he blocks like that, you're in a world of pain.
If you grab a set of the rod of iron this device will make you hard as hell in just a few weeks add this to your training program and you will be hard to stop. Fists like rocks and more I invented it, patented it,use it and stand behind it 100% look at my web page about us and you will see were I was in a motorcycle wreck just back in december of this year I literally bounced of the car and walked away. @therodofiron0com
Amazing style !! and the iorn body training is brutal.. but extreamly usefull... ever had someone punch you as hard as the can , (cheepshot to ) in the stomic.. and without even flintching start laughing at them .... ill tell you .. there faces.... priceles....
Ahh yes, it's easy to be skeptical about what's posted here, but I've seen this guy in person many times and can verify that he is the real deal, probably one of the toughest men on the planet.
Watch the first bash closely. You would realize that the stick was already broken and the timing of the breaking noise was off, AND it never even touched the guys leg. I believe that people can achieve something like this, but the first break at least is NOT legit.
Hard to match the impressiveness of the Shinjo brothers demos. FEw people today train hard enough to achieve this sort of conditioning level, but the Uechi dojos in Okinawa have bats on hand, for daily use, to bang their shins with, and concrete rollers to roll up and down the shins as well. Hard core! lol
I do Conditioning like that, Well not as hardcore but I used to I did for a while before my Shodan test and after I got my Shodan I got a lil less focused on conditioning and more on Fighting.
Yes, not many are as hard core as the Shinjo brothers, but try to keep up a basic level at least. I've seen non-conditioned guys go down in fights with Uechi practiioners, when they go to sweep the conditioned legs and break their own shin bones to splinters - it's not pretty! So if you are going to fight - best to have really well conditioned arms, legs and know how to hold your breathing down to withstand those shots to the belly.
This looks like a great art, the only thing i dont like about some arts and im not talking about Uechi since i dont know much about it sept what the masters are capable of, but yeah there was one guy who was saying that in his art which was not Uechi he woke up in pain every day.......and i thought ot myself isnt the conditioning of the body to avoid injury? I know that injury is inevitble but shouldnt chi help you heal you hear so many stories about it healing ulcers and even inability to walk
Ahh, that's only if you go about it the wrong way - trying to condition overnight. It takes many many years to get to the level of conditioning that you see in this video.
Yup Ive trained and done all that. See Though it does wear and tear on your body and I started at a Young age so now its getting to me an im not even 21 yet so it sucks. I have a good conditioned body, probably not as much as before but Id hold my own in a fight.
My First sensei ( alan dollar ) Sensei was Seiyu Shinjo ( this guys father ) I am a shodan ( first degree black belt ) I have yet to meet Kyohide but I will what sucks is Kanei Uechi died the year I was born. . .
It watered down a bit and sadly most present day practitioneers dont know the historic Circumstances under which Master Kanbun Uechi trained in China.
Nice to see though that some folks like Takayasu and shinjo keep the Spirit of an killing art for attack pourpouse alive :).
Besides:I honestly think that in live or death Situation when everything fails it boils down to the question who can take and deliver the biggest beating,...
First: I am a Uechi practitioner to and i come nowhere near the Conditioning abilitys of Sensei Shinjo or Sensei Takayasu.
Second:
Uechi Karate was used and refined by the Chinese Boxer Sects during the 1900 Boxer uprising and the occupation of China by foreign Powers,... so it was basically an Art used and designed by people we would call terrorist nowadays to fight and kill foreign Soldiers.
Its not to be confused as sport or self defense....
I trained in Uechi Ryu at a dojo that specialized in also teaching disabled people (our class was about an equal mix of disabled and non-disabled). We didn't do strengthening anywhere near this tough, but we did do it each classtime. Its a very good martial art.
I've actually had to use it outside of the dojo to protect myself from a real life attack and I was amazed, my mind and body knew just what to do, the guy went down (just when we practiced in the dojo), and I got the heck out of there.
i would never.....EVER......use this technique.....its freakin intense first part freakin guy gets some type of thick wood totaly ....just SMACKED right on to his shin i wouldve been like WTTFF !!! WHY WOULD U DO THAT U FUCKING IDIOT!! I THOUGHT IT WAS FAKE AHHH!! FUCK U!!! FUUCCKK xD
Okinawa is a great place. I studied with Seiki Irei for some time and saw him decimate a Banana Tree with his big toe. I don't think I could have done the same damage with 20 swings with an axe.....
I trained with Shinjo he is beyond tuff, what dedication. I really like spicy food and once trained with sour stomach and kept farting.
He said I was doing it on purpose and asked me to stop but I farted again when I was doing situps and he told me to leave the floor. When I bowed out, I farted again, twice.
He came towards me and I shit my gi pants. I was only wearing a jockstrap, so it easily flowed down my legs and spilled onto my feets. It looked like a yellow puddle of stomach fluid.
this guy is really strong. i took lessons from him for 5 years, but i broke my leg from skateboarding and quit after that. im telling you, this guy is no joke. once, him and my dad kept fingering each other in the chest, and my dad gave up. this guy has some great endurance.
Its not a prop. My father trained with the gentleman, and his father before him as well. My father freely admits he could only do half as much. That whole family is amazing.
To do what these guys are doing, total dedication to the art is required. Some people like your father and maybe myself are dedicated, however not so dedicated as to freely break bones in our pursuit of martial arts mastery. I still have to go to work the next day! Look at Shinjo's fingers! I have broken several of mine but they dont look that bad. He had to have multiple or very severe breaks to do that! Now that is true dedication...
You have seen everything. The man breaking the bat is Shinjo.
I have been to his dojo.
What he is doing is no trick at all.
He has heavy calcium deposits on his bones. He has been conditioning all his life.
This is all very real. He would be insulted to use a weak piece of wood. I gotta tell you, he is far more impressive in person. You really have seen everything.
wow uechi ryu my respect for it has gone throught the roof has he must have been hitting makiwaras for a long time one thing thats still gets me is the baseball bat serious respect these are true budo masters
@modernmarvel I encountered this style from a history professor in college who trained. I remember well how he tapped my shin with the tip of his big toe and knew right then that this style is hardcore!
I'm from Argentina and i practice karate-do, well, i think this UFC tournaments are bullshit, this guys fight in a ring with rules and they think they are big fighters, if one of them fight in the street it's a dead men. This REAL Martial Arts like karate, taekwondo, kung fu, muay thai, etc were made for surviving in a battlefield not for making money or get famous. I salute all you guys who still live for Martial Arts and understands what his practice mean.
You are exactly right! In UFC you cannot bite, or kick a downed opponent, or perform small-joint manipulation, but in a street fight ANYTHING GOES! Real Martial Arts WERE made for self-defense. I practice ITF style taekwondo, and when we go over self-defense we go over all aspects of what the other person could do, like biting, or scratching, or whatever, we teach a lot of stuff like eye-gouging, and sidkicking to the knees and so on.
In a real fight... you're not suppose to over do it. You learn karate to have the upper hand, and you should use minimal force. Enough to incapacitate. Why the hell would you bite someone when you don't need to. And why the hell would you do anything to someone's eyes or balls. Those are serious freaking injuries, and a martial artist SHOULD be able to eliminate a threat without having to resort to that extreme.
I disagree, Gad. In a real fight you do what you need to. You may need to incapacitate someone, meaning put them in enough pain so they can't get up. Which could mean biting, gouging or anything else. There can be a situation where you need to eliminate a threat and give aid. If you just restrain someone, they are still a danger as soon as you let them go.
A lot of these people talk as if that would be their first resort though, and thats where my problem with it lies. especially gouging, which is very damaging. Also, there's nothing wrong with getting the hell out of there after you've given yourself the opportunity and can get out safely.
@GadGades very true. i suppose it would depend on the reason you are fighting. if it is the very rare case of life or death, any means should be employed to defend ones self. if a stranger attacks you without provocation, and escape is impossible, they must become the victim. you never know what the assailant is carrying or if he has accomplices near by. better to be safe then sorry, or fatally wounded. friendly competition or pride fights are a different matter though.
@GadGades Thats assuming you can ever be good enough to have such an upper hand that you completely dominate an opponent. Very few individuals ever get that good. the average joe may need to resort to extreme techniques. Plus you also have military contexts and the contexts of ppl who live in extreme danger all the time.
@GadGades you live in a fantasy world. The time when you hold back will be the time they shoot you in the back, or comes back for more. MARTIAL means war, the art of WAR not self defense. Learn your history.
I love hearing people say MMA is combat/true self defence...its great but still its not street fighting,case in point:an MMa fighter takes a friend of mine to the ground for submission or choke out and he bites the MMa guys fucking balls,gets on top of him tears the shit out of him then says, "what where you saying about a real street fight and MMa?"
Traditional karate is a killing art. It's not a ring sport like muay thai and boxing. As such, there are additional techniques that can be used to seriously injure or kill your opponent. For example, the boshi-ken (the thumb strike) is primarily a technique aimed at the collar bone. And you can see how much damage that can cause. There are techniques like this in addition to all the punches, kicks, chops, blocks, etc. etc. that can be used to attack your opponent.
This is true. But many of those techniques which were utilized are not anymore. Just look at some of Thailands traditional teachers and you only see a fraction of whats being taught in the Muay Thai rings.
Elbows, knees, headbutts, throws, grabs. That were intended for different targets for different results. IE: Neck, Throat, Spine, Eyes, Groin, Small Joints.
Many of the traditional Thais that are outspoken are unhappy with the current state of Muay Thai. Much is being lost in translation.
You are correct. Karate was designed as a killing art. They practiced their techniques on the battlefield, not on mats with supervision. If your technique didnt work, you didnt go home, because you died. Today everyone is crazed over this 'MMA' hype. The fighters in the UFC and Pride are excellent physical athletes. They can hit hard and most of them are skilled on one on one grappling with rules. That being said, you cannot compare MMA to any traditional martial art. MMA is a sport based.
... fighting system and designed for fighting in a ring with rules and a ref who can save you from dieing. Traditional karate is devastating, and the aim of it is "One hit certain death". Which means literally one hit should be all thats needed to finish an attacker. The true techniques of karate cannot be used in MMA or any tournament. A lot of people say well if your style is better than prove it in the UFC..when actually the only place to prove a style is in the street.
I agree in most of point of view. Proving a style is better or not in UFC is totally bullshit. I dare to say the only way to prove your martial art is effective is a life or death situation or in a war.
I agree, though being a "yank" I tend to blame the liberals (or at least those who claim to be in this country). I've trained in WTF taekwondo since I was 4, and that style has gone waaaaaaaay downhill. When my school went to the softer methods, many of the uechi ryu joined our style. I love to spar them, since they have an impressive defense and good power, though I found they have a tendency to slightly overextend when punching, leaving their gut open (one of the only gaps though).
ozzydigger :tournaments fuck up all styles its happening everywhere it will be all lost soon.
i blame the yanks 4 this. Thats super retarded. The same stuff happens in muay thai, and karate competitions. Wado ryu becoming generic for sports is unrelated to UFC. Also UFC has benefited grapple arts, and boxing. So its not all bad for them. Its just a side effect of competitions. Where a style might be better suited to it.
The old style of training is as much about your body adapting to damage or pain, as it is about inflicting pain. People who train for years but have never actualy been hit or hit anything are in for a rude awakening if they are forced into a fight.
that is what my Sensay says exactly... VERY TRUE... i didnt believe it till i went in the ring lol... u get hit.. an it feels like a 5th grader jus bumped into u lol
@Torchwoods This is true.....Some teach that your body is your last line of defense but in a suprise attack it may become your first line of defense and if you can't come back from that first blow you may not effectively defend yourself.
Grappling and joints manipulation are always among the best techniques; the human body has 206 bones and between them are just gaps. The strongest fist in the world cant do much when the arm it's attached to is snapped in half.
Not to mention there are parts of the body you cant ever condition, such as your eyes.
Of course, no amount of training will stop a blade or a bullet. :p
Kinjo Sensei é qs increditavel, Muito importante ver alguem fazer oque as historias de mitos do karate nos contam, São otimas demonstrações de total dominio do corpo e da mente, Porém reflito e muito questiono, sobre o valor dessas proezas na atualidade frente a novas condições de combate real, que são absolutamente distintas das que ocorriam no antigo japão onde essas proezas se desenvolveram e foram uteis, De todo modo, adimiro essas proezas; Osu
Good ol' Shinjo Sensei really shows us that the humman body can become a godly and destrcuctive weapon. I can break boards, but not with a bushikin, ethat would hut my thumb. He is truely amazing.
He has damaged hand bones. He has heavy deposits of calcium on his wrists and deformed toes and fingers from many breaks over a lifetime.
He could easily fracture a scull with a shoken. He can break a bat with his shin too. His block can break a mans arm. The man has tranined since childhood, from a long line of masters. I have been to his dojo and seen him.
There is no exaggeration to this clip. In real life he is more awesome. He moves like a cat and his body is iron.
Uechi Ryu i believe is the most honorable. i'm only a brown belt with 3 blk stripes and i teach. also i'm only 12 and he says i'm almost ready for instructing full time. t.rose is a great and honorable man and he knows his limits. he teaches us to use our karate to help people and not abuse it. uechi has destructive abilities and our conditioning is superior. booyah we rock! =]
I have met Shinjo trained with Yoshiahru Arakaki, A Moulton, D Green and even T Rose for a few months..T Rose is awesome. Do not try to do what Shinjo is doing. He has permanent damage to his hand and heavy calcium deposits on his wrists and legs. He is old time Okinawa master form a long cultural lineage. He has trained since childhood and is a special person.
Uechi is most honorable, it is taught the same as in Okinawa.
Uechi Ryu formally know as (Pongainoon) is a great deal focused around body conditioning. Like my sensai says,"It should hurt them for you to hit them and for them to hit you."
Understand, yes there are some long-term affects from this level of achievement, but not like an un-trained person would think. You must remember that YEARS of conditioning and training lead to this: a "regular" human would be broken and crippled immediately if this were attempted. Shinjo Sensei is the Ultimate Example of Superior Conditioning and Destructive Abilities.
Imagine he hits your ankles or arms with his wrist. Yours will just be broken into pieces like the baseball bat. I think this is the real training a real fighter must have.

To do what these guys are doing, total dedication to the art is required. Some people like your father and maybe myself are dedicated, however not so dedicated as to freely break bones in our pursuit of martial arts mastery. I still have to go to work the next day! Look at Shinjo's fingers! I have broken several of mine but they dont look that bad. He had to have multiple or very severe breaks to do that! Now that is true dedication...

You have seen everything. The man breaking the bat is Shinjo.
I have been to his dojo.
What he is doing is no trick at all.
He has heavy calcium deposits on his bones. He has been conditioning all his life.
This is all very real. He would be insulted to use a weak piece of wood. I gotta tell you, he is far more impressive in person. You really have seen everything.

@modernmarvel I encountered this style from a history professor in college who trained. I remember well how he tapped my shin with the tip of his big toe and knew right then that this style is hardcore!

I'm from Argentina and i practice karate-do, well, i think this UFC tournaments are bullshit, this guys fight in a ring with rules and they think they are big fighters, if one of them fight in the street it's a dead men. This REAL Martial Arts like karate, taekwondo, kung fu, muay thai, etc were made for surviving in a battlefield not for making money or get famous. I salute all you guys who still live for Martial Arts and understands what his practice mean.
javiertengu87 3 years ago 5
You are exactly right! In UFC you cannot bite, or kick a downed opponent, or perform small-joint manipulation, but in a street fight ANYTHING GOES! Real Martial Arts WERE made for self-defense. I practice ITF style taekwondo, and when we go over self-defense we go over all aspects of what the other person could do, like biting, or scratching, or whatever, we teach a lot of stuff like eye-gouging, and sidkicking to the knees and so on.
jinglebearr 3 years ago
In a real fight... you're not suppose to over do it. You learn karate to have the upper hand, and you should use minimal force. Enough to incapacitate. Why the hell would you bite someone when you don't need to. And why the hell would you do anything to someone's eyes or balls. Those are serious freaking injuries, and a martial artist SHOULD be able to eliminate a threat without having to resort to that extreme.

AlucardOrg 3 years ago
I disagree, Gad. In a real fight you do what you need to. You may need to incapacitate someone, meaning put them in enough pain so they can't get up. Which could mean biting, gouging or anything else. There can be a situation where you need to eliminate a threat and give aid. If you just restrain someone, they are still a danger as soon as you let them go.
lollipopfop 2 years ago
A lot of these people talk as if that would be their first resort though, and thats where my problem with it lies. especially gouging, which is very damaging. Also, there's nothing wrong with getting the hell out of there after you've given yourself the opportunity and can get out safely.

@GadGades Very well said
canhtin1008 1 year ago
@GadGades very true. i suppose it would depend on the reason you are fighting. if it is the very rare case of life or death, any means should be employed to defend ones self. if a stranger attacks you without provocation, and escape is impossible, they must become the victim. you never know what the assailant is carrying or if he has accomplices near by. better to be safe then sorry, or fatally wounded. friendly competition or pride fights are a different matter though.
LeadPaintSandwich 11 months ago
@GadGades Thats assuming you can ever be good enough to have such an upper hand that you completely dominate an opponent. Very few individuals ever get that good. the average joe may need to resort to extreme techniques. Plus you also have military contexts and the contexts of ppl who live in extreme danger all the time.
ToraJutsu01 11 months ago
@GadGades you live in a fantasy world. The time when you hold back will be the time they shoot you in the back, or comes back for more. MARTIAL means war, the art of WAR not self defense. Learn your history.

I love hearing people say MMA is combat/true self defence...its great but still its not street fighting,case in point:an MMa fighter takes a friend of mine to the ground for submission or choke out and he bites the MMa guys fucking balls,gets on top of him tears the shit out of him then says, "what where you saying about a real street fight and MMa?"

Traditional karate is a killing art. It's not a ring sport like muay thai and boxing. As such, there are additional techniques that can be used to seriously injure or kill your opponent. For example, the boshi-ken (the thumb strike) is primarily a technique aimed at the collar bone. And you can see how much damage that can cause. There are techniques like this in addition to all the punches, kicks, chops, blocks, etc. etc. that can be used to attack your opponent.
timmythealien 4 years ago
lol, muay thai was def. not a "ring sport" traditionally, please get ur facts straight.
akademiks21 3 years ago
This is true. But many of those techniques which were utilized are not anymore. Just look at some of Thailands traditional teachers and you only see a fraction of whats being taught in the Muay Thai rings.
Elbows, knees, headbutts, throws, grabs. That were intended for different targets for different results. IE: Neck, Throat, Spine, Eyes, Groin, Small Joints.
Many of the traditional Thais that are outspoken are unhappy with the current state of Muay Thai. Much is being lost in translation.
guitarninja83 3 years ago
You are correct. Karate was designed as a killing art. They practiced their techniques on the battlefield, not on mats with supervision. If your technique didnt work, you didnt go home, because you died. Today everyone is crazed over this 'MMA' hype. The fighters in the UFC and Pride are excellent physical athletes. They can hit hard and most of them are skilled on one on one grappling with rules. That being said, you cannot compare MMA to any traditional martial art. MMA is a sport based.
NicholasPersaud 3 years ago 3
... fighting system and designed for fighting in a ring with rules and a ref who can save you from dieing. Traditional karate is devastating, and the aim of it is "One hit certain death". Which means literally one hit should be all thats needed to finish an attacker. The true techniques of karate cannot be used in MMA or any tournament. A lot of people say well if your style is better than prove it in the UFC..when actually the only place to prove a style is in the street.
NicholasPersaud 3 years ago 3
I agree in most of point of view. Proving a style is better or not in UFC is totally bullshit. I dare to say the only way to prove your martial art is effective is a life or death situation or in a war.

ozzydigger 3 years ago
I agree, though being a "yank" I tend to blame the liberals (or at least those who claim to be in this country). I've trained in WTF taekwondo since I was 4, and that style has gone waaaaaaaay downhill. When my school went to the softer methods, many of the uechi ryu joined our style. I love to spar them, since they have an impressive defense and good power, though I found they have a tendency to slightly overextend when punching, leaving their gut open (one of the only gaps though).

ozzydigger :tournaments fuck up all styles its happening everywhere it will be all lost soon.
i blame the yanks 4 this. Thats super retarded. The same stuff happens in muay thai, and karate competitions. Wado ryu becoming generic for sports is unrelated to UFC. Also UFC has benefited grapple arts, and boxing. So its not all bad for them. Its just a side effect of competitions. Where a style might be better suited to it.
GadGades 3 years ago
The old style of training is as much about your body adapting to damage or pain, as it is about inflicting pain. People who train for years but have never actualy been hit or hit anything are in for a rude awakening if they are forced into a fight.

@Torchwoods This is true.....Some teach that your body is your last line of defense but in a suprise attack it may become your first line of defense and if you can't come back from that first blow you may not effectively defend yourself.
guru2u67 1 year ago
@guru2u67 That is so true, that is what my sensei always said. karate is not for bar brawls or ring matches, its to prepare for surprise attacks.
jjhaywood 1 year ago
Grappling and joints manipulation are always among the best techniques; the human body has 206 bones and between them are just gaps. The strongest fist in the world cant do much when the arm it's attached to is snapped in half.
Not to mention there are parts of the body you cant ever condition, such as your eyes.
Of course, no amount of training will stop a blade or a bullet. :p

He has damaged hand bones. He has heavy deposits of calcium on his wrists and deformed toes and fingers from many breaks over a lifetime.
He could easily fracture a scull with a shoken. He can break a bat with his shin too. His block can break a mans arm. The man has tranined since childhood, from a long line of masters. I have been to his dojo and seen him.
There is no exaggeration to this clip. In real life he is more awesome. He moves like a cat and his body is iron.

I have met Shinjo trained with Yoshiahru Arakaki, A Moulton, D Green and even T Rose for a few months..T Rose is awesome. Do not try to do what Shinjo is doing. He has permanent damage to his hand and heavy calcium deposits on his wrists and legs. He is old time Okinawa master form a long cultural lineage. He has trained since childhood and is a special person.
Uechi is most honorable, it is taught the same as in Okinawa.

Uechi Ryu formally know as (Pongainoon) is a great deal focused around body conditioning. Like my sensai says,"It should hurt them for you to hit them and for them to hit you."
laufnon 4 years ago
Understand, yes there are some long-term affects from this level of achievement, but not like an un-trained person would think. You must remember that YEARS of conditioning and training lead to this: a "regular" human would be broken and crippled immediately if this were attempted. Shinjo Sensei is the Ultimate Example of Superior Conditioning and Destructive Abilities.
