Este video esta bien padre!!!!

This is a solid technique in my opinion. Although, I would probably follow it up with one more Ju-Jutsu tech like an arm-bar using your legs. The opening block is very universal which I think is the most important part of techniques like these. There are many different ways someone may attack you, but a basic open hand block covers most everything.

hi. If you are one of the people in this video I'm suggesting something to you, if I may. I think, this technique (Komanage ) is not done correctly. attacking karateka doesn't resist to the defending one. I think, if the attacker resists, then technique changes. it seems so easy, that the attacking one spins around himself. mostly you sholud press the shoulder down to prevent the attacker make a reaction. I can not try it on someone else so.. I tell what I see. thanks by the way :).

That's Taekwondo,NOT shotokan karate!!!I'm a Taekwondo student and i know it!!

[trosanelli]

@Giazaco - Taekwondo is an off-shoot of Shotokan that's why the kata are so similar.

[w10438]

@trosanelli How so? different arts, different styles, different origins. How is it an offshoot?

[DaiBoxer]

@w10438 From Japans occupation in Korea is where the cross pollination took place. TKD is like Shotokan with a Korean Taekyun influence is why TKD has more kicking and quicker footwork than Shotokan. An even bigger simialrity can be seen with Shotokan and Tang Soo Do. Same with Japanese Daito Ryu Aikijiujitsu - add Korean Taekyun kicking influence and its Hapkido. Basically its obvious the two regions have borrowed heavily from each other.

[trosanelli]

@DaiBoxer - Thanks DaiBoxer for your valuable input.

[DaiBoxer]

@trosanelli Dont mention my friend. Glad to add something useful. Cheers.

[MrKarateka123]

What style would you reccomend to go along with shotokan? By that, I mean which art goes good with shotokan?

[trosanelli]

@MrKarateka123 - Two things, I would do some boxing training. Boxing training improved my kumite tremendously. I would round out your stand up training with some form of ground fighting or grappling like Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. You never know when the fight will end up on the ground and if it does, you'll want to know what to do.

[borobei]

@trosanelli i had heard by other karate practitioners(several styles) that shotokan is a very complete style and that it already incorporated takedown defense,joint locks and some grappling along with some ground fighting techniques.so i would really need a second martial art if i decided to practice shotokan?

[trosanelli]

@borobei - I think this depends a lot on the school. I've decided to take an old school Okinawan approach of teaching. I know most Shotokan schools don't teach many grappling and throwing skills. Historically, Shotokan was the original MMA with strikes and grappling.

[Yamtendo]

@trosanelli That would make sense, because I'm sure the Japanese incorporated many Judo and Ju-Jutsu techniques into the Shotokan system when it became popularized, but as far as I know Okinawan Karate traditionally has a mix of joint-locks, throws, and strikes.

[mkalel]

@Yamtendo you are quite correct as far as the mixture of joint locks..throws and strikes



[trosanelli]

@borobei - When Funakoshi took karate to Japan, to become a nationally recognized marital art, you needed approval from the Dai Nippon Butoku Kai which required cataloging any techniques. To become recognized as a separate art, Funakoshi needed to remove techniques that where considered Judo.

[borobei]

@trosanelli so shotokan lost all grappling techniques after that?hope my questioning doesnt bother that much.

[trosanelli]

@borobei - I like your questioning and believe this is the kind of discussion is what the comment section is all about. I think that the focus on a more complete art with takedowns and grappling was lost when Nakayama Sensei introduced sparring tournament in the late 50's. Most of my training in Shotokan was almost completely standup. You see relics of these moves all over our kata. Once I started doing some Jiu Jitsu, much of the kata bunkai became very clear.

[borobei]

@trosanelli a gojo ryu instructor told me the same about jiu jitsu moves being present in his martial art.right now there are three karate styles that i have heard incorporate grappling skills.those styles i have heard of are: wado ryu,shotokan and gojo ryu.

great job! but on the block always learned and also taught to keep your fist closed and face it towards you, unless your doing a wave block, but then the palm fo your hand should be facing out.
