  • karate is from Okinawa

  • No worries Goju1990. Times in my life when I've had "no time to train", I gotten up earlier and made time! Luckily as a professional karateka I can often self-train twice a day in addition to teaching. When I was a university student, I trained just as much, but taught less classes.

    If you make karate a natural part of your life it's not hard to train everyday. I've had seniors with four children, and they train daily, and they are still great husbands and fathers. Check out my time article!

  • @ChristopherMonti I have family, and am a busy man. I'm not Andre Bertel and do not know the man. You actually sound paranoid, and just really weird. I don't have time to just reply as you demand! In the meantime I suggest you get in touch with your local community centre and they will advise you of suitable positive options to help you fill in your time in a better manner and hopefully, you may make some friends in the process. Good luck to you, and God bless.

  • @44Copperhead Andre, please reply with yourreal name and official account. Stop using sock-puppets. The writing style is exactly the same, and so is the age and country of origin on the channel information. Serioulsy, you're not fooling anyone. Between that and the vulgar sexual suggestion you made towards me, I'm starting to wonder if you're bi-polar.

  • @ChristopherMonti Huh, yourself. I briefly viewed your channel friend. You are quite the flake. More disturbingly, you have some creepy video of you wandering, alone, around some depressingly, ugly shit-hole of a lake,(that was your shitty little house too eh.) I'm quite certain you have no friends do you. Many racists are societal rejects like yourself. This also explains your hysterical rants on youtube, not just toward minorities, but at anyone, and everyone. I actually feel sorry for you.

  • @44Copperhead Huh? You're diagnosing "latent homosexual tendencies"? Maybe you should read the content of your own comments..(!) You keep making references about ministers and cub-scout masters, and seem to have a bizarre fixation with negroid penises. Perhaps you're just projecting your own self-loathing onto me? Whatever the case, good luck with it :-)

  • @ChristopherMonti Wow, interesting comments!! I'm a little worried though, Chris? Is that your name? You seem to display latent, homosexual tendencies. You want to fight this guy, WITHOUT your gi's on...in an EMPTY room?? Also, you don't like black people, you sound really angry, full of rage even. What happened? Did you walk in on your mom, with some big, black cock in her mouth? Or was it you, who took some black cock? Was it from say.....your minister or a friendly cub scout master perhaps?

  • @andrebertel Thank you.

  • @stefandetrez No problems. And sorry Lyall Sensei (Christchurch Shotokan) for the spell check...

    Yes, Asai Sensei's junbi-undo is great. I use a different warm up though as I suffered a broken back when I was very young.

    At the end of the day we must find out own karate, that is why all styles of karate are equal. You are right about the Chinese influence - Asai karate is martial arts karate more than Shotokan. But it is Shotokan!

    Kindest regards and all the best!

    Andre

  • @andrebertel Thank you for the correction and the references. I know Asai. His karate seems to emphasize flow and has more circularity in it, than traditional Shotokan karate. It's more Chinese in feel, if I'm not wrong. His warming up demo on Youtube is one of the most effective I've seen in a while.

  • @stefandetrez

    Spelling correction: Sensei Lyall meant Yokotawaru-tatsu, Kaminari-arashi & Shinobiyoru-hayabusa.... All not easy to spell in English!

    If you are interested in Asai Sensei's kata please use the search function on my blog. I also wrote an article on THE SHOTOKAN WAY online resource titled `The Asai Karate Kata' which outlines the kata we practice.

    Best wishes & if you can come to my seminars in Europe (February 2012) you will get a chance to do Sensei's kata. Osu, Andre

  • @dinoaxd Firstly, Go-dan is impossible at 26 if you have not trained in Japan and have been an uchideshi of a senior instructor. Otherwise the minimum age for JKA 5th Dan is 30 years old.

    The youngest rokudan (mainstream Shotokan) in the world are myself and Shane Dorfman of South Africa. While Dorfman hasn't lived in Japan, he has been world champion numerous times, and his father is 8th Dan.

    As far as offending & misleading? Please tell me how? Was Asai Tetsuhiko Sensei not

    official?
