un peu d'entrainement au shuto lui ferait un plus grand bien

Looks like he is highly advanced. lots of power in a very small amount of motion. Keep the videos coming!

[SuperDieselmike]

you know the kata well just slow down! matsubayashi ryu is not fast kata only quick, clean, and powerful waza! and there is the rythem to our katas as well, but im sure you'll pick that up in rank and training.

This is how I want my Katas to look like!!

@IEKUKATAKA, You can find many in Japan, China & elsewhere that train in real Martial Arts & that are far more advanced than Okinwan Karateka. I think every style has lost a lot, I see Bunkai to be the main part that most styles have lost & many are trying to gain back. My style is very authentic but again it many changes have been made from each teacher & each founder has mixed & modified.

[ShorinRyuRonin]

@IEKUKATAKA, Tournament has its place, it gives you many opportunities to test yourself, learn timing & distance & help you & that is its limits also. I am not supporting it but it has its place. Also in the west most do not & will not train the old ways, it is a business in the west more than anything. Joint techniques are not easy to apply to someone experienced, it is for self defense mostly, people not trained. same as throwing, not easy. Mike Tyson actually strikes like a martial artist.

[IEKUKATAKA]

@ShorinRyuRonin Rhetorical question: How can it be a great style when they have narrowed their syllabus to tournament techniques, eliminated many primal techniques, have very few throwing techniques, virtually no joint techniques, no ground techniques and did away with weapons? Another? Mile Tyson was a good fighter, was he a karate-ka? A sad commentary but a true commentary: The world is full of karate but real karate largely is still only in Okinawa. Is your Shorin Ryu True?

[ShorinRyuRonin]

@IEKUKATAKA, Nakayama did make changes once he took over after Funakoshi, but still it is a great style, they have had many great fighters but yes it has been changed & modified but that is all Martial Arts in the west that Korean, Japanese, Chinese have all changed, the traditional does not do well in the west, very few willing to go through that type of training, it is a business in the west. Bunkai has been lost in many systems unfortunately, read Patrick McCarthy book.

@ShorinRyuRonin Correct and you are being kind in the use of the term modified. The term I would use is ruined. I say that as a JKA life member and 25 or so year follower until I learned the truth. The JKA practices a sport and it is a real stretch to use the term karate in association with their training. The changed all of their kata from the original to a version of their own and DO NOT TEACH BUNKAI with them because they don't know the bunkai as the changes were without substance.

@babydru "I wouldn't call Kyan the "father" of most Shorin styles". It is said that Kyan is the father of the Migwa-te styles (namely Matsubayashi-Ryu and Isshinryu). The hard-hitting, linear techniques have been systematically removed. Shuri-te kata done without linear technique is neither Shuri-te nor Naha-te.
