Karate - Old school training

[@doggey7035]

The problem Isn't the fact that sport karate exists, The problem is that old school just doesn't exist anymore. #BringBackOldSchool

[@vijayvijay4123]

Path of least resistance

[@donoberloh]

Not for public consumption at least

[@UnleashedTraining101]

I only seek out places that train goju ryu or other okinawan styles. They’re rare but exist

[@kameronwraithd.k.5363]

Exactly, this is the true essence of karate-do, regardless of the style or school. Sadly nowadays it´s so sports-competition-oriented, that it´s way gone (at least for the masses). I understand though that the younger generations will always be drawn to recognition, medals, prizes, etc. and that´s why it´s been so popular for many decades until now.

UECHI RYU KARATE only

[@Li.Siyuan]

I remember this. This is the training I used to do in the late 60's and 70's before sport karate spoiled everything. Too many flashy gimmicks nowadays.

[@cjayloco3240]

[@orionofodyssey7271]

Interesting, what Karate style are you practising?

[@Li.Siyuan]

@@orionofodyssey7271 It had no particular name and was taught to me by an English chap attached to the US Navy during the Korean War in the early fifties. He just called it Korean karate. It was a little like Hapkido inasmuch as it used a lot of crawling all over your opponent and beating the crap out of him. We practised a lot with makeshift rifles with bayonets and were bloody careful to make sure we did our blocks carefully and powerfully to avoid getting cut. This was, of course before the advent of the Health and Safety brigade. We used to get knocked out on average once a week but loved it because it toughened us up no end. Training was done under cold running water and knee deep at the local seaside. None of the soft Nancy-boy stuff you get nowadays. We learned kiai jutsu, batto-jutsu and various resuscitation techniques from blue belt upwards and had great fun doing it. I've been to other classes and styles since but mostly been disappointed; once I was matched against a brown belt but he was constantly complaining that my blocks were hurting his arms. For pity's sakes, what did he expect? Our blocks were meant to break arms and legs when applied correctly with full force! Oh well, that was over 50 years ago now...

@goggles789 how so?

[@ch0wned]

Goju is not a joke. Never has been. The physical conditioning alone will end 90% of encounters before they begin. I started when I was 4. Being a goal tender in Lacrosse was a brilliant supplement to my kite. Took a Gold medal in that at the AAU Jr. Olympics. Sanchin is very real, very healthy and very effective. I can’t tell you how many much larger dudes have tried to just Move my 5’7” body and simply failed to do so. It gives me the opportunity to be polite before enforcing deterrence, which I’ve seldom had to do. On those unfortunate occasions where I had to do something it was over in flash and hopefully they have chosen better paths in life. 🍻

@@SolTad007 Totally wrong, though MT is bad ass for sure. These peoples fingers are in the same condition as Rodtangs shins. We’re not talking about a sport here. MT is a sport. This, is for stopping very serious problems. You can do similar with MT, but before your kick hits our liver (which, with enough Sanchin will not have anywhere near the effect it usually does) we can just pull out your eyes, or trap the leg the rip off the toes. This is not a sport. Most of us finding fighting very stupid. Respect to everybody who puts it on the line for sport. But I stand by everything I’ve written. Be well.

The physical conditioning and drilling are good supplemental exercises but they really need to be training the techniques in full contact okinawan style bogu kumite to actually experience fighting against an opponent going full speed and not pulling their attacks for safety. Training in an alive manner is whats required to be able to apply the techniques in a real world situation.

[@texenl555]

Also this is shotokan

[@shooter7426]

@DD123 you learn to fight by actually practicing to fight. Which means free sparring. Breaking boards and mechanical exercises are supplemental training methods. By themselves they will not teach you to fight. You perform how you practice. There is no magical transformation from punching a makiwara, breaking boards,bricks and bottles etc , or a punching bag and fighting a living, moving person who's fighting back. You must practice fighting a noncompliant opponent in practice in order to be able to do it in real life situation against someone physically assaulting you.

You know that high level kickboxers and MMA fighters can spank people to the death in a few seconds, right? Man, BJJ guys and Wrestlers can choke someone to death and break bones easily.
