KU Tegumi Drill #11 A Heian Yondan Based Flow Drill

[@ptboyindenver]

It's very encouraging to see an ISKF instructor working with Iain Abernethy and teaching these kind of Kata applications. The JKA-descendant organizations have generally not been friendly to this in the past.

Thank you for your comment!

Excellent drill. As ever it's great to see practical applications of Shotokan karate. We shall be practising this one! Thanks for posting.

Kudos, sensei. I'm currently starting my own practical karate channel and look forward to seeing more videos from you! Regards, Nick (Second Dan, Shito-ryu)

Makes it more interesting when also the attacker can continue his attack. Does not have to be intensive to make defenders grips much better.

[@taekfute]

Thank you sensei

[@laeneel]

Nice

[@KaptainCanuck]

The audio is a tad subpar and the "music" does not make it any better. especially being 3x louder than the speaking. What I caught of the spoken info gave me some insight into Pyong Ahn 4.

People who don't like heavy guitars are highly suspect and untrustworthy.

I'm missing the credit that the founder of KU, Hanshi Patrick McCarthy, deserves when it comes to sharing KU drills and making reference to his unique work around tegumi drills and HAPV principles.

[@AppliedShotokan]

It appears at 0:03 in the video. It's also in the video description. You didn't look very hard.

[@nandino77]

@@AppliedShotokan I did check, but probably didn't express myself properly. I guess that, as a KU student myself, I felt that mentioning Hanshi Patrick McCarthy, by name, would have not go amiss. Great video!

[@AppliedShotokan]

@@nandino77 I feel that acknowledging that the drill is from KU in the video and in the description was more than adequate. Anyone familiar with KU knows it's PM's organization.

Thanks. But someone will headbut his own hands under stress...

[@AppliedShotokan]

Why?

[@kenkongermany7860]

@@AppliedShotokan Because it's drilled in.

[@AppliedShotokan]

@@kenkongermany7860 That's why you must do pad work as well.

[@kenkongermany7860]

@@AppliedShotokan What I drill on a partner, I will do in m.e. if I feel him under stress. But I appreciate the idea to integrate headbutts.

[@CykelSierra]

Seven moves without the opponent doing anything after de first attack, no defense, no using his free hand to attack or defend nor his legs to attack, despite nothing preventing him from doing so. Not realistic at all. There's no way in hell you'll pull off this sequence in free sparring/kumite against a non compliant uke. Kata were not made to be used against an opponent who does not resist. It's no wonder KU sparring ends up looking like bad MMA.

[@AppliedShotokan]

I assume you understand the concept of a drill? Nowhere in this video did I indicate that there is any expectation to "...pull off this sequence in free sparring/kumite against a non compliant uke." Nowhere in this video did I say the uke was non-compliant. This is a great drill to practice a number of skills. It is one layer of training. This is just one of many layers of training. Is it important to include resistance in our training and there a number of ways to work that into our practice. I don't know what your martial arts background is but training with a compliant partner is common in BJJ, MT and other fighting arts. But for some reason when a karate guy does the same thing he is chastised for it. If you would like to learn more about layering training, I would be happy to provide some reading material. Cheers, A
