Do you make your students learn these basic warm up in japanese?

[carlosensei1]

@UtopiaMinor666

I actually don't. The basic techniques are taught exactly as shown first with an explanation, then with the count, an then without the count, from beginning to end. From time to time I will include the Japanese terminology but just for a bit of flavor, as I feel it's important for the art's original culture to be present, nontheless the emphasis is on learning the technique, as technique seems to be the most elusive thing to get from students . Thanks for your interest.

I am a MMA trainer, they way you practice, is the way you fight.

@allinthemix10

I enjoy training in mixed martial arts as well, and believe that it's important to work all the ranges. As far as fighting is concerned, the very few situations that escalated to actual confrontations, believe it or not... the traditional training worked just fine. It was fast, decisive and it was done. I just happen to have an afinity for traditional training. It's something I'm very fond of and something I personally love to do. Just call me crazy..Keep up your MMA training.

Why would you keep your hands down? This is a bad concept for self defense.

Practice shadow boxing instead, it helps in a real fight. This won't

@clearcombat

I agree, but the issue here is not self defense, not even application. Maybe you haven't heard that trad. training is not meant to be taken literally? You didn't really think that the hands are kept on your hips when you fight did you? These are the system's fundamentals, and yes, shadow boxing is one of many of the effective ways to practice for real fighting, but that's not what we're talking about here. We're talking about basics. Let's keep it in context. Thanks 4 ur comments.

@carlosensei1 Well said.

I also come from the Shihan Jenkins line under Sensei Kildulf and Norris and that is the same way we do our upper body basics. Penon 1 and 2 incorporated the basics to introduce begenners into Seisan Kata the first formal Isshinryu kata. From what I can tell most East Coast schools under Nagle, McGraff, Bassaro, Frtizgerald, and Norris use these upper body basics. And have pulled together to start the American Isshinryu organization to help all IsshinRyu Karate practioners

[carlosensei1]

These basics came from Tatsuo Shimabuku. I also practice Shihan Dale Jenkins version of these basics which he named Pinan 1 & 2. (wondering if they are the same pinans) I will post them at a later date. I learned these 2 basics drills from the late Shihan Jenkins in the Jersey Judo Karate Kai in Kenville NJ in the mid 70's. You most definitely may show this to your sensei. Thanks for your comments and keep polishing your Isshinryu.

I am a brown belt in Isshinryu karate (doing it for 8 years) and I haven't heard of these. for beginners, we have penan 1 and 2 and some basics. (punching, upper cuts, blocks, ect.) who made this up? And thank you for showing this to me and I'm an assistant instructor at the school I go to and if I can, can I show this to my sensei?
