Way of the Warrior - Karate, Way of the Empty Hand [3/4]

[TheOrdnajelaZ]

Osu

[ryanWeap]

just like my shaolin kung fu

[PappeH]

Don't really understand how someone could say that goju ryu is the only real karate. I train in shotokan and the things we learn are as real as it gets

[armeetu]

billysue2, in all martial styles you are able to invite master to a fight and if he refuses it is a sign that he is just a bullshit.

[pillsburydoughboy47]

not necesarily; traditionally, you have to get through the lower level students first, before you can challenge the head instructor himself.

most people who show up to reputable, good Karate schools who run their mouth, generally can't even get past the yellow belts. In MMA, the people who show up can't get past the guys who have only been doing MMA for 3 months.

[pillsburydoughboy47]

In most gyms, my understanding is that usually the students themselves should be able to shut you down, well before you even get close to the teacher. If its a good school, nine times out of ten, the lower level students will do it.

[pillsburydoughboy47]

a style is bullshit, if you easily plow your way all the way up to the head instructor.

[939marcus]

If it is not effective then why have they continued for centuries, its not just self defence it is a complete fighting system !

[ipepruf]

REAL Karate is only Goju and Uechi Ryu! OSH

[BuckMuscles]

All that breathing and sanchin didn't help against Royce Gracie, who just demolished that poor karateka in the second UFC.

[kokofan50]

that because bjj is hard to fight if you use punchs and kicks only

[lYakuzal]

Karate isn't one single art. Most Karatekas, which are the ones you are referring to ,are Kyokushin and Shotokan practitioners which don't apply Sanchin.

And of course, Bjj is ground-fighting. Karate fighters are not taught to fight ground-fighting because Bjj relies on leverage and mass, basically physics. Sanchin just prepares the body to withstand strikes.

[jiggahippo]

ur an idiot!

[QuanYin71]

Dedication .

Osu !

[Grimmwood]

Now this is a REAL Karate! OSH

[Parisella]

...It's "osu".

[billysue2]

it is real,a right bunch of horseshit.Its staggering how unrealistic the training is .The problem is theres no contact,so no way to check its effectiveness so they just carried on with the same shite for centuries.All graet if youre doing it for self improvement but most arent so deep and think its for self defense.

[semillasdelorto]

we do a very similar exercise in Kung Fu with Chi Kong, is very good.

:D Very nice Documentary.

Hi semillasdelorto,

You will be surprised the similarities that Uechi Ryu and Goju Ryu Karate have with Five Ancestors Fist Kung Fu (五祖拳), check out "Five Ancestor Fist Kung-Fu: The Way of Ngo Cho Kun" by Alexander Co. This book gives history of Five Ancestor Fist and how it influenced Karate, in particular Uechi Ryu and Goju Ryu styles.
