i see posts on here talking about shotokan, i thought that Yamaguchi was goju?

[laserkej]

No, this is sensei Takashi Yamaguchi who is a JKS 6th dan and doing shotokan.

Yamaguchi is a quite common japanese surname, so there is probably lots of them out there doing all kinds of karate

[SuperStarSeeley]

Thats a really quick and effective takedown!!!!!! Very cool and classy

[Derukugi2]

@IEKUKATAKA There ARE many other traditional shotokan and other original karate Schools/dojos out there. I am in the Island Karate Club in PEI, Canada, and we go through the katas, looking for other methods, hidden attacks throws, blocks. We do tournaments, but its your choice on what you want to learn.

@mooseven The easiest thing I can tell you to do is to be objective regarding your assesment, study karate history and visit the dojo of George Andrews, he is in the UK. If you are stubbornly defensive, subjective and unwilling to see reality, you will not see the truth. If you are willing to look for your own good, your study is thorough you can not miss the truth. The JKA has a way of covering the truth and that is another story and more space needed. Good luck.

@mooseven #4 spinning ushiro geri (turn your back on an angry man, really?), haito (go ahead, hit a skull with that and see what happens), ura ken to the head (go ahead, you won't be in the fight long), punching to the head (be my guest) as kusho works both for you and against you and you never, never strike delibrately with a technique that hurts yourself, bone on bone is fundamentally stupid. In summary, the JKA is not a fighting science it is a tournament sport. More?

@mooseven #3 kokyu (breathing well under pressure). The following are contrived and ignorant regarding interpersonal engagement: hard blocking (doesn't work), kicking only from a distance (the fight or flight response of an amateur can dodge it, can you kick from two feet?), constant todome waza (not needed with kusho training), constant kime (many other ways to deliver power), some kick are absolute BS (ura mawashi geri, yoko geri kiage, a spinning ushiro geri

@mooseven #2 realistic combative kata bunkai (they do not practice such at all), a combat tactical syllabus (all they have is tournament related and greatly lacking), a syllabus of konsetsu waza (joint use), a nage waza syllabus (throwing other than sweeping), a ne waza syllabus (ground fighting), tsukami yose, oshi (grabbing, pulling and pushing techniques), tai sabaki (managing body motion), comprehensive kuso (where and how the body is injured easily),

[IEKUKATAKA]

@mooseven I do not have enough space to tell you everything the JKA has omitted and would need evem more to tell you what they have contrived that is not workable in combat. First, karate is a comprehensive martial art, comprehensive is a key when you want a reliable system. The following have been omitted completely are largely: a martial art approach (will it be reliable in combat), a natural approach (is the technique naturally derived, contrived motion breaks down under duress), see #2

[mooseven]

@IEKUKATAKA Can you give a concrete example of some things that were included in the original Okinawan karate but excluded from JKA karate to its detriment? You haven't been very specific in your criticisms.

[IEKUKATAKA]

@mooseven The JKA did much the same, they discarded their teachers karate and developed a tournament focused kicking and punching sport and milliions follow them BECAUSE THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT KARATE REALLY IS. I am a JKA life member in Japan, I saw the contradictions, got invoved deeper in history and the syllabus of original karate and saw the truth. The people you named were taught by some of the people that taught me. My comments are for the objective that would want to know for their good.

[IEKUKATAKA]

@mooseven Let me give you a classic example. I know a gentleman that has a huge following and has had for decades. I know his history, he has never, ever been in a karate school a day in his life. He is athletic, developed his own so called karate syllabus and opened a school. He is popular and financially successful yet he is an absolute fraud for one reason alone, THE PUBLIC LARGELY DOES NOT KNOW WHAT KARATE REALLY IS, they only know what they see and in the west, it is largely junk, even UK.
