the guy on the right has a too short stand

[mkalel]

@Yamtendo you are quite correct as far as the mixture of joint locks..throws and strikes

[boanco2]

it looks like the technique "Ikkyo ura" in Aikido

@trosanelli That would make sense, because I'm sure the Japanese incorporated many Judo and Ju-Jutsu techniques into the Shotokan system when it became popularized, but as far as I know Okinawan Karate traditionally has a mix of joint-locks, throws, and strikes.

[Yamtendo]

This is a solid technique in my opinion. Although, I would probably follow it up with one more Ju-Jutsu tech like an arm-bar using your legs. The opening block is very universal which I think is the most important part of techniques like these. There are many different ways someone may attack you, but a basic open hand block covers most everything.

@trosanelli Dont mention my friend. Glad to add something useful. Cheers.

hi. If you are one of the people in this video I'm suggesting something to you, if I may. I think, this technique (Komanage ) is not done correctly. attacking karateka doesn't resist to the defending one. I think, if the attacker resists, then technique changes. it seems so easy, that the attacking one spins around himself. mostly you sholud press the shoulder down to prevent the attacker make a reaction. I can not try it on someone else so.. I tell what I see. thanks by the way :).

@DaiBoxer - Thanks DaiBoxer for your valuable input.

@w10438 From Japans occupation in Korea is where the cross pollination took place. TKD is like Shotokan with a Korean Taekyun influence is why TKD has more kicking and quicker footwork than Shotokan. An even bigger simialrity can be seen with Shotokan and Tang Soo Do. Same with Japanese Daito Ryu Aikijiujitsu - add Korean Taekyun kicking influence and its Hapkido. Basically its obvious the two regions have borrowed heavily from each other.
