My respect for these Sensei of Shorin Ryu Karate, the true Karate.! I'm student of Mariano Montedoro, and he is student of Sensei Shoei Miyazato.

@alekt5 I find your statement that Shorin ryu being "the true Karate" as being very disrespectful to our brother of all Okinawa karate.

Creo que su afirmación de que Shorin ryu es "el verdadero Karate" como muy irrespetuoso con nuestros hermanos de todas las karate de Okinawa.

Why so many dislikes? I love every bid of this video. I'm currently doing Karate Okinawa Style with 4D Sensei Ray.

[NewEnglandBudo]

@edgelit Because when they watch the tournament they expect a bunch of 24 year old 10th Dans wearing multi-colored gi, doing jump spinning kicks and screaming to win a 6 foot trophy. But what they don't know is the amount of years that these old masters have been training, and the ability to perform kata so late in life is a challenge to all of us to keep training, no matter what.

Why does all these Okinawa-karatekas have barrel shaped bodies?

[NewEnglandBudo]

@MariusWM LOL, they work out and use a lot of breath control in their kata. Look up Hojo undo and Kigu Undo and watch Sanchin Kata by Higaonna & Terauchi Sensei here: mhkTAp_KVOs

I now do Canadian Shorinjiryu Karatedo, because I was taught, trained, teach, and live in Canada, but the origins of the style are from Japan, Okinawa, China, India...! To progress with good spirit and harmony, we must always respect the history and the origins. VERY NICE VIDEO!

[alekt5]

@NewEnglandBudo Mi intención no es faltar el respeto a otros estilos okinawenses pero las artes marciales que se desarrollaron para la guerra son el Shorin Ryu y el Shorei Ryu, por eso dije que es el verdadero Karate, pero todo Karate que sea tradicional es bueno.

a wise man once said, "the last to understand are the first to criticise." this is a great video. train hard, keep an open mind.
