What many MMA enthusiast dont understand is that what ever you see in MMA originated in Japanese arts such as Karate-Jutsu and Ju-Jutsu or modern Karate-do and Judo. This video is for technique illustration purposes. If you really want to see the speed of JKA karate, watch Japan's JKA tournaments. Many of these guys have serious knock out power, if they want to release it !!

ShotoKhan that's my style

@vanmark1 I don't want to insult you mate but isn't it written Jiu-Jitsu?

An eternity ago, in 1977, I attended a Shotokan training week with all the JKA big shots  (Enoeda, IIda, Shirai, and... Tanaka)led by Nakayama himself.

Tanaka did not know much English. The only English he knew was "Speedy" and "More Speedy". Train until you drop. That is the way remember him.

He also did something spectacular. I wonder how an MMA would react if one moment Tanaka was before him and the next behind him because he just jumped over his opponents head.

I trained under Tanaka years ago, supremely intense, ripped with muscles thru and thru, and just damn scarely. I can still remember him doing finger tip pushups with a fully extended body...amazing.

Tell that to my friend. Who by the way, has used them in real life... You know there is this thing your brin allows you to do... no, not talking, somthing you should do BEFORE that. it might be called "thinking" ever heard of that? you should try it.

[shingoukenpo]

its useless in the real world....maybe in tourmaments

[chanzen10]

high kick can be effective in real fight if you set it up properly and shotokan has speed and power but if you compare it other style it will be different because every martial arts has its different style and their is no such thing as a perfect martial arts every martial arts has its defectiveness. i did practice sports type shotokan karate before and try to switch to self defense style because in our country their are a lot of old school types of killers and i came from a poor country.

for the most part, i agree.

but a good portion of styles utilized in MMA originate from various sources other than "Japanese arts" as well.

Muay Thai and wrestling are just a couple of other examples.

to me (as an MMA enthusiast) MMA is not a "style" in and of itself per se. it's what the name implies...a "mix" of styles utilizing the best techniques for a particular fighter.
