Most never so-called practitioners have been down-talking kara for decades. Why? Most people are too lazy to learn them and should go pretend in some other field.

Techniques and forms have to be explored. I have been fortunate to learn that way. Make it your own. It's an art therefore you personalize it to suit your capabilities. Obviously you must spar and get hit.

Kata is useless if you don't know how to execute it bruce lee saying kata is useless but the point he didn't finish his sentence thats why most jkd now is dumb , boxing is kata, muay thai is kata, chinese martial arts korean , silat name it all of them came from kata😂😂

Kata is not useless.Its like shadow boxing for boxers.Many misinterpret Bruce's words.In that one scene it Enter The Dragon,he was doing kata wasn't he?

Great dynamic with you two.

I have been actively studying and practicing martial arts since 1982. I do not believe that kata is useless you definitely can use parts of it in self-defense. You can use the concepts that are embedded in the forms in self-defense and even free sparring. I believe that some people just wanted to do away with them so they branded them as useless, but it’s worth than likely a facet of ignorance, and they just don’t truly understand all of the intricate detailed reasons for its existence.

Lee thought it was useless du3e to his short time and lack of training in martial arts. He came to the US at 18 years of age, which suggests that he was only trained in Hong Kong as a child.

Is it useless to practice a dance routine and expect you'll be able to dance your way to victory in a self-defense situation? Yes. Is it useless to collect all the movement patterns in your art in one place so they can be passed down with as little corruption as possible, so you can remember all the patterns you should be training? No.

Bruce def respected certain traditional artists from masters of Choy Lay Fut, Judo, various karate , Wing Chun to Boxing and Wrestlers. It’s a common misconception that he dunked on them. In many cases it was an exchange of knowledge for him with those guys

I've been an active martial artist since 1980. And every point made here is right on. I've been very blessed to have had excellent instructors. And as a died in the wool kata guy, I love the analogy of a kata being like a particular song. Learn the song and then make it your own. Well done gents.

Lee was an action star. An egocentric person and inexperienced fighter. Forget him, bunkai prevails!

Very enjoyable. It would be great to have some of the mechanics described done visually for us…maybe slow motion and up close. Sometimes the same words can be understood differently by different people.🙇🏽‍♂️

Kata is vital!!!!!!

Another great episode gentlemen.

Martial art kata is the same as punching a heavy bag or drawing a sketch, it's gaining motor skill or muscle memory by repetition, it's only useless if you make it useless by not finding new ways to applying it to everyday life.

I train boxing but I just discovered Uechi Ryu and I love it. Is there a recommended book or KZbin video series you would recommend me self study ? I enjoy all your videos.

As you get 65 like me ltrain this changed kumite for kata as longer 25 japanese are smart people say kata rubbish that's what they want to think there hidden fish hooks in kata kata is complete way heres the.scert most westerns do not train the japan way of repeating say jodan chudan punchs 5 thousands each there's scret

One easy way to understand these animal forms is to look for various southern Chinese martial arts, especially Hung Gar, which has all five forms.

Kata in combination with bunkai (application) is very useful.

Once Zhang Sanfeng the founder of Tai Chi said to his disciples, I have taught you everything I know, now is time to forget everything you have learn and become your own master. 🙏🙏🙏

I am really enjoying your channel, I am a certified instructor in Ip Man Wing Chun and Jeet Kun Do ( Concepts) I agree with your analysis, I think a lot of JKD practioners missed the fact that it was the forms(kata) in Wing Chun that gave him the foundation and structure to improvise and create from. The form is a starting place, it shouldn't be where you end. Have a great day!

Kata is so important as a teaching tool. It gives you a true the ability to train. Kata can be used with partners and solo.

I had a friend who was a piano teacher. She said you need to learn a pattern to break a pattern.

I am really enjoying your content. That analogy of kata and music was like boom, on point. Keep up the great work. Peace brotha’s!

Karate kata are based on Wing Chun movements..For this reason Japanese martial arts are similar to Chinese Kung Fu.

Kata goes over the underlining principles and concepts of combat kata is generic movements covering all of combat

I come from a Southern Gung Fu styles! My Sifu, always show me (others) application(s), on each moves! It’s up to you to make it work! Through training/sparring 🤗then Real 😵‍💫life 😬

Buddhism mind control exercise control mind control body discipline secret of ki

I am very appriciat

Nothing is useless in martial arts, dom

The Kata teaches you how to move. It is up to you to find the why.

🙏🙏🙏⛩️

Loving this series! Thank you

I would love a video on the breathing topic please 🙇🏽‍♂️

are there links to the b/w vids shown in this vid? (or maybe let me know who is performing at 0:41 and 1:35?

What you said about the suitcase carry/farmer carry’s is true it’s dramatically with my judo game. I enjoy lifting but saw a personal trainer with a degree in physical therapy to not hurt myself and so I have clear defined goals about how much I want to lift and once I get there will just play with timing/tempo and incorporate elastic bands

Is this comercial or uechi ryu😢

Thanks for this. Just started training last year so it provided a lot of context

My style is Goju. I was introduced to it when I was 4 and have practiced Sanchin ever since. I’m now 33. The benefits of Sanchin are difficult explain but I’ll put it this way. Sanchin is the most important kata in ALL of martial arts. If the style or school doesn’t incorporate it or an analog of it, you’re looking at nonsense. I was homeless for a long time, life being hard and complicated. My Karate routinely saved my life in many, many ways. Name it, and I’ve probably defended against it. Needles, fire, knives, a few guns (mostly lost to those), bad cops and worse people. Sanchin was the spine on which all those encounters hinged and sometimes the best you can hope for is walking away with your life. Oh and by “losing” I mean, getting robbed. It’s just stuff, although it is devastating.

The term you're looking for is isometrics. Also known as "dynamic tension". Something used in every good kung-fu school. Although the forms are different the theory is the same. This is a part of Nei Dan practice, and can be found, and perhaps best illustrated in, the Palm and Fist sets of Yi Jin Jing training. (I highly recommend the book Qigong "the secret of Youth" by Dr. Yang Jwing-Ming. Published by YMAA) We appreciate your sharing this look inside Uechi-Ryu. The Sanchin exercises have their root in Southern White Crane kung fu. The teachers in Okinawa developed this art to the very high degree we see today! Thanks again. Laoshr #60 Ching Yi Kung Fu Association

Okinawa karate Is only more practical Kung Fu for self defense And full contact situations. MMA fanboys don't know how deadly karate truly Is.

Folks, if you really want to test yourself or your art.....get into the cage with a MMA fighter - then you`ll know for sure !

Nice Job osssuuuu

This is an excellent video! Thank you for sharing!!
