Makiwara Demonstration （巻藁）

Thanks to Anikinippon for creating a copy of this with English subtitles at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQ0iaMx7XM0&feature=email

Footage of Machiwara demonstration for Japanese television program at the Shinjinbukan Hombu Dojo. Some discussion on the origins of karate and also speed demonstrations with hanging paper are also included. Sorry, most of the Japanese is above my level of understanding, or I'd have added translation.　このスチルは沖縄小林流。 会派は神人武館。

I was impressed until I saw the paper rip.

Then I crapped my pants (metaphorically). Holy hell that is a good punch.

@WaywardBrigand You can learn to do it too. Onaga sensei's teacher was Higa Yuchoku sensei, who's tsuki was legendary. The approach to striking that they use is superior to what I had studied for the duration of my training, and to anyone else's method I have seen. So I have switched. Anyone living in Japan can find the clips at "Makumon" home improvement store. Good luck finding them in the states.

What's that straw thing in her other hand?

[Jakneife]

@Yamtendo Good question. It's for gripping exercises. One use is to practice squeezing your fist more tightly at the point of impact when you strike.

she tear the paper

i want to see video where a person actually punch a paper and make a hole

can any1 help me to find the video?

[Jakneife]

@cececooler Do you mean to punch a circular hole through a suspended piece of paper? I don't know of anyone who could do that. Sometimes when we practice this, we tear a hole in the paper, but it is usually "V" shaped. The best breaks are along the bottom 1/3 of the paper, straight across and fully ripped (sometimes, the broken piece hangs from one side).

@thkun33

in short her father basically says. "even though she is small she is strong enough to 'not lose' to a bigger person. He makes the distinction between winning and not losing clear saying 'not losing' is what it's all about, not killing nor winning.

[SamuraiTankyuusha]

She's cool.
