Lessons to be learned: 1. Victory of the aggressor is short lived. There is a reason why Funakoshi focused on Kata and character development. 2. Be humble always. You may be the top in your class, but there is always someone stronger and better.

This is one of the best descriptions of Motobu that I've seen, Jesse-san! He definitely should have gotten more credit for his contributions -- I really didn't start learning about him in depth until the early 2000s, coincidentally with the rise of MMA. I think the movement towards practical karate has helped get his name out there more.

[@davidhanna8029]

Sensei, as someone who reveres Gichin Funakoshi, I had to watch this confronting but educative video twice before I realised you were delivering Motobu's warped perspective on Funakoshi's teaching. As you rightly say, Funakoshi was focused on Karate as a means of character development not street fighting. I recall very clearly how a previously troubled teenager told me that one of Funakoshi's illustrative stories from "Karate-Do: My Way of Life" had helped him resolve a problem without fighting. By contrast, Motobu may have believed he had 'nothing left to prove', but his attitude and behaviour suggest that he had plenty more to learn.

[@oldtiger8181]

@KARATEbyJesse I appreciate you doing this video on Motobu Choki, and because you seem to be really and truly dedicated to Karate I want you to know this information below and know that many people out there do NOT know about this. Motobu Choki was the original creator of Okinawan Kenpo Karate. He made his style back in the early 1920s partially based from his family style and another very early form of Karate. All other forms for Kenpo / Kempo that are out there today, has had other techniques added to it over and over again. Know that I'm not saying that is a bad thing, but when you see people arguing about Kenpo / Kempo around James Mitose, William Chow, Ed Parker, Fred Villari and all in-between, the origin of it all is Motobu Choki and his Okinawa Kenpo Karate-jutsu Kumite-hen. The two huge differences in Motobu Choki Kenpo Karate back in those early days was that Motobu Choki taught to block then instantly grab with one arm/hand to pull the attacker into a punch, kick or knee.. Or two arms/hands to block and grab a person towards a kick or knee strike. He also was the first in Karate to block and then do a hand strike with the same blocking arm all in one motion (some people call this a "stop-hit")... Those techniques I have seen carried over to other Kenpo / Kempo off-shoots as well. I researched that information for a long time and I'm happy to share it with you as you are so dedicated to Karate in general. Have a great day.

[@mingyaowu7720]

Very good story... it appears Motobu was far ahead of his time. This story provided great insight into the state of the Martial Arts today... Motobu was right. What doesn't work needs to be thrown out. Much harder to do with a striking art vs a grappling art. We see this today in BJJ an art that is supremely effective because it is pressure tested every day on the mats. Thank you.

[@getsum697]

There was a picture of Motobu in our Shurite dojo in Okinawa. I was told by my sensei that our style was based heavily on his teachings...although we did a LOT of katas versus extrapolation of techniques from said katas (probably around 70% kata and 30% technique). I do remember when they taught a move from the kata, which was second nature to perform at that point due to doing the kata one million times, they were very secretive and said that you could really hurt or kill someone with what they were teaching me. It was not EVER about hurting someone but defending yourself after you took every opportunity to get out of the situation, including running away. I once asked what should I do if I can not run away? Sensei looked at me and said to make sure they never bother you again. It was his Chuck Norris moment in my mind...and he was dead serious. Great memories and was an opportunity of a lifetime.

[@fcobarrios19]

If this story is true, why didn’t Funakoshi’s students leave him? That’s why I find it a little hard to believe.

[@varanid9]

It's a pretty well attested story. Where would they go? Shotokan was the original Karate style in Japan; the others came later and were mostly derived from it.

[@fcobarrios19]

@@varanid9 I understand that Funakoshi was the first to bring karate to the mainland. However, if he accepted the challenge is because he believed that he could win, and he didn’t. That would have made him look phony in front of his students. IMHO, if this would have happened it is reasonable to think that the students would have jumped ship to another martial art like judo or just stop practicing with him altogether.

I learned a new word today; kumite. It's a concept I've always ruminated about, and to have a singular word to encapsulate my thoughts on combat with relation to the shadow-boxing aspect of martial arts practice is liberating, and vindicating. I need someone to beat me up, to bring me down a notch, and I need it badly...I welcome the day, and I hope to live long enough to bow to my better in defeat. Meanwhile, fist fights are easy for me, and I've had a few, none within a dojo. What merit is there in fighting commoners? I require a real lesson.

[@c.glivingstone9832]

I agree. Kumite forms the practical element of Karate, which is primarily fighting, unarmed combat or self defence. Kata always was about learning set moves that become 'muscle memory' which can be applied to kumite. The thing is there are so many creative and effective fighting variations that can turn an actual fight around, which exceed the 27 basic katas. 'Thinking on your feet' would be a good starting point.Perhaps that was Motubu's point, that daily fight practice, or kumite should be the priority in teaching practical, effective fighting skills.
