That is exactly the way my teacher taught me; to think of tsuki as a penetrating stab. Great explanation here.
@squintclinic3 жыл бұрын
I understand ‘tsuki’ to mean ‘thrust’. It was translated into English as ‘punch’ to make it easier for non-Japanese speakers. Historically much of the subtlety of different original Japanese terms for Karate techniques have been similarly crudely translated. For example - ‘mae geri’ is not a front kick. It actually translates as ‘kicking to the front’. This is how we (western Karateka) have lost much of the real meaning, and therefore true understanding of much of the art. It was also in this manner that much of the dynamism of the different stances was lost; becoming instead, the typically static interpretation of what a ‘stance’ is. Things are changing though!

Its v difficult to grasp the mechanics behind a tsuki kick block etc. Once you get your head around the mechanics it is necessary to condition the body (musculature) in order to execute techniques optimally. Body weight exercises and supplementary weights are used for developing the musculature for this. Isometric exercices are done for strengthening and toning forearms wrists and of course fingers. In conjunction with these makiwara is integral part if not karate is like a gun without a bullet as Master Funakoshi observed.

As someone who practiced Kyokushin and Shotokan in Japan I often heard Mae Geri thrown around amongst groups of only Japanese martial artists. I’ve also studied Goju Ryu and Uechi Ryu, same deal even when I’ve visit Okinawa I don’t think the “deeper” meaning was lost in the west

I'm not a Karate man. But I can brake wooden boards with my fist. I don't focus on the board itself, I focus what is behind it. So my punch and my target is behind the board. Also in previous videos, I noticed that I have same technique been for years of putting my hand into a fist, there is no gap, it's a solid hammer. Great videos.

The one thing I have never understood is why do people use fists to attack. If you look at the structure of a fist it's rubbish. The wrist is a massive weakpoint and not because it's made out if weak bones, but because it's a joint. If you punsh no matter how you do it part of your energie will get lost because your wrist will bend. The first set knuckels are small joints the stick out a bit yes but energie get's lost here as well. Also were talking about smaller bones here that break rather quick you have to keep that in mind while fighting sow you can't use your full power for risk of strikking bigger and stronger bones unless you were gloves that take some percussif force of. The strongest attack would be without the hand being involved in the first place. There are way's to strike with your wrists and those are way more powerfull and if you condition your bones right would even allow you to strike hardend steel. Not break or bend, but strike without breaking or bending yourself. Point your fingers up, keep your hand the same way, but turn your tumb at your body and now punsh. This way your punshing with the very tip of your radius bone which is 2,5 times thicker then the bones in your hand. When I strike with a fist my punshing bag barrely moves, but when I strike like that it almost fly's across the room and every form of strike you can do with a fist you can do with this with the bonus you can grappel quicker aswell. Sorry for the grammer I have dyslecia.

Sounds very philosophical to me. Tsuki = Punch. Point. There are many types of punches. It is just that Karate emphasizes kizami-zuki and gyaku-zuki more, where western boxing emphasizes mawashi-zuki more (but they still have the kizami/gyaku, they just call them jab/cross). Most boxers have more destroying punches than many karateka by the way. In a TV show, they measured the punch of an above average boxer, he got 300kg. But the world Kumite champion got 180kg "only"

When punching, one needs to be careful when throwing the punching shoulder forward and the other shoulder back as it can throw the body off balance and also open up the arm and shoulder to a counter attack. It's easier to dislocate the shoulder in this position.

@NuwandaLunaDragon3 жыл бұрын
Eh... No, that's not true Muay Thai is based on nearly full striking wich means elbows, knees, punches and kicks. How could they be the best at kicking when they don't focus on kicking? Karate is a lot better in kicks than Muay Thai, but the best kicks in attack terms are for the taekwondo, a martial art focused on kicks And is really de boxing the best at hands? Not even a legend in boxing like Mike Tyson were able to punch with full strength without breaking a knuckle when he was not using gloves Karate is focused in solidness, bodyblows, defense and headkicks. That's the point of karate Muay Thai is a lot more aggressive, a lot more complete in variety of attacks but it isn't good in defense Boxing has great punch techniques and great defense against punch, but it isn't good defending anything else like leg kicks, body knees or grappling (karate and Muay Thai have some defense against grappling) Martial arts are complex, every style has some weakness and strengths, saying this is the best at this and this is the best at that is oversimplifie things
