The nine throws of Gichin Funakoshi

[@Ibb_nsvg]

There are still two more throws that Funakoshi included on an earlier book of his: fumi-kiri and node-osae. Worth taking a look!

[@mirkoparagano1744]

Chadi if you read the book of Funakoshi "karate-do kyohan" there is a chapter about the throws in karate. The original form of okinawan karate grappling called tegumi (okinawan sumo with ground game and submission) and tuidi ( submissiom and joint manipulation techniques). The original Te (karate) was a complete martial art. The shotokan enphatizes some principles of the complete art to adapt it for civilians self-defence. For these reason ,like Funakoshi said in the book, throws are present in karate and every karate must learn how throw. But throws are a supports method, are the means not the goal like judo. This is the major differences that changes the dinamics and the mechanics of the techniques that seems similar in karate and judo. Jigoro kano enjoyed the karate of Funakoshi, but more the original karate of okinawa like the Go-ju ryu. I'm a karateka, boxer,judoka, bjj, and MMA fighter. In primis a Shotokan karateka in my heart. You're doing a very good job and you are a very good researcher.

[@bunkaiking]

Motobu choki 'karate jutsu' is another great book to read

[@Chadi]

Looks like Karate is a complete art

[@mirkoparagano1744]

@@Chadi in fact the original art was a complete art called Te. The Shotokan version of karate or Te was a complete art too but with different goal and mindset. Karate is the most misunderstandood and commercialized art of nowdays this why most people (also some masters) know little about karate. Kudo is good and the original art of karate (Te) like go-ju ryu was not so different. Thanks for your attention

This is the best explanation of the Funakoshi throws. After studying Shotokan for many years, I had believed the throws were both Aikido and Judo. Thank you so much for using your experience in these styles to offer this explanation.

[@Hessam101]

Chadi jan, you have tapped into a very valid and important aspect of karate jitsu. Thank you! The last two set of videos were excellent for those of us who teach or practice karate-do! For those who claiming that the previous video was "kudo" and not traditional shotokan or traditional "karate" throws, it needs to be emphasized that even Funakoshi's karate underwent change when it arrived in Japan from Okinawa. Shotokan borrowed from and adapted many techniques from naha, shuri, and tomari. Furthermore, Funakoshi had a very close relationship with judo founder, Dr. Kano. In fact, Jigoro Kano sensei invited Funakoshi sensei to stay and teach at the Kodokan. Whenever, Funakoshi semsei passed by the Kodokan, he would stop and bow deeply to the building. I cannot help but think their was an exchange of ideas and perhaps even adaptations of techniques based on the sharing of these ideas. Furthermore, the relationship between these arts is reciprocal. Many may not be aware that judo has striking techniques just as karate has throws and joint locking techniques.

[@Chadi]

Yes their relationship clearly is present in the manifestation of the arts

[@iamthatiam49]

People don't know that there are alot of throws in these Katas.

[@Chadi]

That's why i made this video

[@bobafatt2155]

Chadi , thanks , good video

[@barrettokarate]

For me, Iain Abernethey was the first one to bring this to light a few years ago. Then when I started watching WKF matches I saw them doing throws also. But when you type in "Funakoshi 9 throws" there's a guy who did a video on it 7 or 8 years ago. Funny thing is, this is a guy whose channel I've been subscribed to for years and never knew about his video.

[@papita_vTuberFan]

6:54 i've seen this one as a joint lock as well. You spin his arm so your opponent's elbow faces the ground, then you apply preassure over the joint. You can even go for the takedown right after. I think most of this throws i've seen in bunkais but this applications are also interesting so thank you for bringing them to our attention

Greetings from the 🇬🇧 Its great to see a video of all three martial arts crossing over. I believe in the early days when the Japanese came to spread the Martial Arts to Europe there were schools that trained all three disciplines. Kind of similar to what modern bjj clubs do today ie. Wrestling, no gi' gi etc. I don't know of any that still do this now. Thanks for mentioning Fallon he was an Amazing Judoka.

[@neocloudmarts9613]

Thank you for your research Chadi

[@abrahamyuantsur8528]

When it comes to Taniotoshi, it is not like Ippon-seoi-nage (One arm shoulder throw). The way I perform it here is, during the Uke’s attack, there is an attack with the front hand to his ribs. Immediately after, throughout my leap to the opponent's back, I rotated his arm to a Palm up to fixed his arm for a lock. Then dislocation of the elbow and a throw ( Attack-Lock-Break-Throw). Here I perform the exercise when I lift my Uke from the armpit for safety. If anyone has any questions I’ll be happy to help. Thank You ☺️

[@lanemir_sindjelic]

6:48 he doesn't throw him due to the danger of his arm breaking because the thumb of uke is facing upward this is a difference compared to seio nagge

[@regdiag5355]

I agree. The elbow of uke is on tori's shoulder(trapeze) and uke moved tori's arm downward and his body upward to do the damage in tori's elbow. While in seoi nage uke puts his shoulder or forearm under tori's shoulder(armpit). That technique (of breaking the elbow) is very used in japanese jujutsu.

The biggest difference between the karate and judo forms of taniotoshi is that in the judo version you go inside so that they can do the breakfall. In the karate version you go outside. That means the opponent cannot do a breakfall.

[@matthewbittenbender9191]

When I see Shotokan being practiced it always looks to me like beginners in my style being high in stances and very choppy in motion even when seeing Master Funikoshi doing it. I know that is deceptive, but what I do like about Shotokan over my style is the basic grappling. As a former grappler going into karate it had an advantage in real competition tho kumite rules prevent me from using those techniques. I late broke away from my style and added grappling and throws into the mix.

[@Chadi]

It is deceptive sticking to the basics might make you look like a beginner, Gaetje against Ferguson used the bare minimum but inflicted incredible damage, Musashi's kenjutsu relies on small movements and the basics no fancy things

[@matthewbittenbender9191]

Chadi which is exactly how I perceive Shotokan’s very linear movement and almost bouncy motion. In the shared katas like Taikyoku and Pinan, I see less core rotation in hand techniques and fewer power moves tho the stances seems to be all about power. My style, Seido (very similar to Kyokushinkai) has much more focus on a strong foundation and power motion. I see Goji-RGI almost as a link between them, but there are still many direct similarities between Shotokan and Kyokushin.

[@22minus13]

Karate as an art has a modern grappling influence from judo.historically karate is mostly of a okinawan/chinese base.Kata or forms was enphasized the aplication of forms or bunkai was not as much.some aplications got lost.the more modern judo/jujutsu/bjj influenced bunkai might come from an effort to reverse engineer bunkai.some great names cross trained in judo and karate bringing some flavor to their personal game.

[@rubenrelvamoniz]

@@Chadi it's a complex history. A rabbit hole. American Kempo/kenpo can also be considered a form of karate.arguably tang soo do or taekwondo.karate ethymology as empty hand was a political change.karate originally meant china hand.

[@VictorHarrys]

Are any of these effective against a BJJ grappler? BJJ fans' comments always brag that striking can't beat grappling, but I never see any sweeps or throws in the BJJ vs. Shotokan videos. I've seen videos of BJJ beat 3rd dan black belt shotokan in seconds because the striker goes for a strike instead of taking advantage of the grapplers momentum.

That's so great! Thank you! In Wado-Ryû Karatê-Dô there are at least two throws taught as part of the main curriculum. You can watch them here: 1. Kihon Kumite 5: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnWbhIGAhLWrn8k 2. Kihon Kumite 10: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i569iqNoYtKhmbM As you might know, the creator of Wadô-Ryû, Master Hironori Ohtsuka, was proficient in Shindô Yôshin-ryû jujutsu. So I would say that those moves are from jujutsu... One curious and pertinent thing to say here is that Master Ohtsuka was one of the first shodan from Shotokan and that he is the person we see doing the throw moves with Master Funakoshi in Master Funakoshi's book (at least in the first edition).

This is an interesting topic, although Shotokan probably isn't the most interesting Karate style to look at. Okinawan styles like Goju Ryu include far more standing grappling, throws and takedowns. Wado Ryu also has a greater emphasis on these aspects than Shotokan.

[@onerider808]

Note he copied Okinawan Te, and also got his throws from them. At higher levels, all students of Shorin Ryu (in Okinawa, at least) practiced them as much as any strikes. Same for the "softer" Shaolin techniques (after which Shorin is named).

[@TT-lg7ip]

Looks nice but nobody will act like the uke's in the karate (one hand at hip and freeze after attack) and aikido (keep holding and following along) clips, meaning the most important part - unbalancing - will not work. In judo the uke tries to resist... that makes all the difference (aliveness).

[@Chadi]

Yes but I'm sure with enough resistance yiu can pull it off eventually

Hey, that is the Naihanshi Shodan kata.... Chadi, my Sensei said something that makes lots of sense... All martial arts share very similar wazas... Slight interpretational differences... Asia is just a big pond from China, Korea, Japan, Okinawa, the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Burma... At one time these places except for Korea, Japan, and China were all Hindu Kingdoms, even the Philippines, Indonesia and Malaysia... Martial Arts is greatly influenced by Southern India martial arts. Kung Fu is Chinese interpretation of Indian martial arts saved for the Taoist influence. Probably the reason so many wazas and weapon designs share India origin, e.g., Kris knives and swords, Kukri design knives used throughout mainland Southeast Asia for protection, farming, and demonic worships and incantation, and, most importantly, also the same wazas. Western Asia Pacific when put together is not really a big place... Much smaller than the U.S. or for that matter Russia... It's a very compact and crowded here. Take, for instance, Thai boxing. I live in Thailand and have a Thai father. He was a boxer when younger and was a champion boxer at West Point Military Academy, class of 1958. Later after retirement as Army Deputy Chief of Staff he had a Pro Bono boxing camp that produced International grade fighters who he took to Moscow for exhibitions. He will claim that the Thais invented Thai boxing, but it is actually Cambodia boxing. Muey Thai Boran (Ancient Thai Boxing), before it became a sport, looks nothing like today Thai sport bixing. It looks more like Jiu Jitsu and Southern Chinese variety with throws locks and strikes...The Thais are just better at Sales and Marketing and lying. Cambodia was 100% Indian and Hindu, and this land that is now Thailand was at the heart of Hindu Cambodia.. The same it is with Japanese and Okinawa martial arts... Chinese in origin, but in actuality Indian import without curry and basmati rice. That also goes for Filipino, Malaysian, and Indonesian Silat, Escrima, and Arnis... All from India (Escrima de mano, and Arnis have Spanish swordsmanship of long and short swords + original Silat / Hindu influence). The Filipinos call their Martial Arts teachers, "Guru", clearly Hindi/ Bali/ Sansakrit word, even after all these thousands of years... Hence, they all share wazas with "Private Labeling"

[@Chadi]

Yes cultures giving each other, thank you for sharing

[@eagle162]

My friend pretty much none of that is true,to make is short Chinese martial Arts have no evidence of of being influenced by Indian ones that comes from a seventeenth-century myth concerning the Shaolin Temple Here's a video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fGSTe4RoesSAa5I Japan and Okinawa have said which karate has Chinese influence they have their own native Arts, such as jujutsu.

[@Durante_di_Alighiero]

Isn't it well known that Funakoshi took a bunch of throws from Judo to make his Karate look more mainland?

[@Durante_di_Alighiero]

@Nikolaij Brouiller Funakoshi's Karate took all of it's throws from Judo because it was supposed to be mainland Karate. That's why even the kanji he used spelled "empty hand/fist" not "Tang hand/fist" or "chinese hand/fist". It's all well known. There are three main differences between his and okinawan styles. 1. The usage of the Gi, as you mentioned earlier. Many if not all styles never used any type of training uniform in Okinawa. They didn't see the point in it. In fact Uechi ryu didn't use it in regular training until the 70's i think. Only in competition did they wear the Gi. 2. Technique wise, the punches in Funakoshi's Karate start from the hip level, not from the shoulder level. The amount of high leg kicks in Funakoshi's version is also overwhelming. All Okinawan styles did high kick's mostly or only as a surprise attack mostly in competition not as a part of an actual fighting strategy. 3. Funakoshi took out all of the kote kitae or body hardening methods because he wanted to spread Karate through the school system and thus create a more "approachable" style which could be taught alongside Judo in universities and thus spread much faster in the mainland and gain him reputation. Like I mentioned the name spelling. Chinese (Tang) fist - 唐手 Empty fist - 空手 The reason of course is the Japanese national ideas of the time which constituted a strong xenophobic sense in those days especially towards other nations in Asia. Therefore anything outwardly not Japanese in heritage had to be "Japanised" or it wouldn't be acceptable at all.
