Karate: Weapons of the Human Body

In our continued effort to show that karate isn't just kicking and punching, we showcase the different parts of the body used for combat.
We are a group on a mission to return Karate to its roots through the use of Kata as self-defense.

Always great to see karateka that really understand the art. Kata is the encyclopedia of karate but its full beauty is seen when the practitioners understand how to apply the techniques. You have added to my research of kata by your many post. Keep up the good work guys.

[@karateculture]

so glad you've gotten something from our videos, thanks for the support!

[@randolphcirilo4800]

Wow.. great video! Opened my eyes wide to the street fight application of the discipline. Very awesome video.. i would love, love to see more along this line of video. I love the showing of the move (the dance) then the application of that move in actual hand to hand, then the defense and the counter .. very damn cool!! Good job!

[@karateculture]

thanks! Hopefully you've check out our "martial arts united", "original mma" or "the art of grappling" videos, they all show applications from kata. thanks for the kind words!

[@saphteam]

wow ! lot of knowledge, pratical karate!! osu !!!

[@karateculture]

thank you!

[@daveedmondson6561]

Great video! I never get tired of watching practical applications for the various movements from kata.

[@karateculture]

glad you enjoyed it!

[@gunsndonuts]

I've been meaning to ask, is there a particular school of karate you two come from? I ask because I really like what you do, and the way you train, and almost every other karate demonstration I see is totally different (and frankly, terrible). Thanks for the great videos!

[@karateculture]

thanks for the question! So we're actually ranked in Shorinkan shorin ryu but our sensei was a very practical karate guy, he's a retired green beret and border patrol officer so he would always tell us of kata applications he used in the field while on the job. So that really put a different appreciate of karate in our heads, that's what we represent now through these videos

[@salvatoreplacidoplumari3840]

@@karateculture So you have as basis Kobayashi-Ryu, right?

[@minasz]

I like this video. I will share it on my facebook. Jack Formless

[@karateculture]

thank you for spreading our videos!

[@MSTRProductions]

I’ve been taking BJJ classes for a month now and I can see takedowns that can used from this video, thanks! When are you coming out with new content??

[@taylorbee4010]

i really adore this channel. I don't even take karate.

[@karateculture]

Nice

[@karateculture]

thank you!

[@ParkourEh]

1:15 to 1:19 what technique is that called?

[@karateculture]

Not sure, maybe some type of outside wrist lock? We kind of just do the techniques that we found works

[@ParkourEh]

Thanks for replying! Hmmm to me it looks like the slight bend of the elbow is being used as leverage to articulate a shoulderlock. Maybe some additional force is being used to help drop the body down as well. It looks very novel which is why I asked.

[@toanthony]

What two clowns clicked on the 'Thumbs down' button for this video. Awesome! Passing on great knowledge, thank you

[@wilmerantoniomedranopalaci2349]

muy bueni

[@karateculture]

gracias

[@garymccreary3805]

It would really be really interesting if you went more in depth with joint manipulation and lock in a separate video

[@karateculture]

That'll be a cool video to do, thanks for the suggestion!

[@garymccreary3805]

Karate Culture Thank you for the hard work and dedication

[@derrickboyd9225]

These techniques and movements are very helpful and karate when you use the right way and remember rise them the right way it's all about using your body is the whipping in order to save your life even though karate be used as a weapon sometimes you have to become a weapon to save yourself and a life as long as you do it the right way it's all about the body mind and Spirit and balance that can make you into a better fighter in a stronger warrior 🥋☯️🙏😌🙏☯️🥋

[@bishalchoudhury9041]

I am learning shotokan karate now and the practicalities of Kata and moves that you have shown is truly impressive

[@karateculture]

Thanks! good luck on your journey and thank you for the kind words!

[@CoachNate2U]

I haven't taken karate in almost 20 years , but if I was taught to do it the way you guys do it I would have never stopped. you guys are the truth. Since then i've studied judo, jujitsu aikido , boxing and jeet kundo, but the practical application of the stand up you guys show, has them all beat (with the exception of boxing, my favorite) .

[@karateculture]

It sounds like you've had an amazing martial journey! we were shown this conceptual approach to karate and from then on we've wanted to share it to as many people as possible. We really believe this is how martial arts/karate should be taught, rather than just kicking and punching. Thanks for the comment, and we're humbled by your kind words!

[@canadianarcticradio4030]

Awesome!

[@123pauliscool]

Boy I really wish I could train with ya guys

[@rafaelribeiro404]

Very cool techniques, the move starting in 2:13 looks VERY powerful.How is it called?

[@MahatmaLevolence]

I can't be certain (i've never trained with these men) but to my eye it's Morote Uchi Uke or augmented block, first performed in Heian Ni Dan (Shotokan syllabus). This is proof there's much more to Morote Uchi Uke than the initial 'reinforced block' taught while learning how to perform the technique classically so it's nice and crisp. Though classical karate is effective thus worthwhile (basic technique works under stress) this is much more like the pragmatic kumite Funakoshi sensei wrote of rather than the glorified game of tag competition karate has become. I imagine Funakoshi sensei would cringe if he were to see Olympic style competition karate. Respect to these karateka for keeping the practical pragmatic art alive.

[@karateculture]

totally! that's a reinforced "block", we should really go away from naming a block though haha

[@squifflessquaffles6339]

Could you do a vid on the boshi ken? I find it interesting but can't seem to find any vids about it...

[@karateculture]

sure thing, i'll add it to the list! sorry for the delayed response, hopefully we can film it this weekend
