Hello. Is there english version of that book? Thank you

[@Froggy-dd8op]

You forgot to mention that Motobu Choki ”dojo raided” Funakoshi Gichins dojo and sent Funakoshi into the floor 3 times, and that Funakoshi described him as ” his irreconsible enemy” after this. And that Motobu described Funakoshis karate (shotokan) as Shamisen…. ” beautiful on the outside but hollow on the inside.”

[@lousadojo]

Great video's Yusuke, really enjoying your explorations of other styles and content! It's not widely known but in 1905 Hanashiro Chomo, a senior to Motobu Chokki and a student of Matsumura Sokon, published a text called 'Karate Kumite'. Unfortunately all that survives today is the opening pages, but it was Hanashiro who first 'published' a use of the kanji for 'kara' (empty) te. Also, in a previous video you asked what other styles use Sanchin kata. In the Bugeikan of Higa Kiyohiko we have two versions called Shuri Sanchin and Matsu Sanchin. They have been handed down from Matsumura Sokon, via Choyu Motobu (Chokki's older brother) and his deshi Uehara Seikichi.

[@karatearmchairhistorian9825]

If anyone wants to explore this topic further, there are some decent English translations of both of Motobu's books available. The one by McCarthy is particularly good, as it has other Motobu-related documents included in it.

Fainting is not about breathing. It about dropping blood pressure so the brain is no longer perfused, usually as vagal reflex. So the best first aid is to try to get blood flow back to the brain, so lie the patient down flat and raise they’re legs. Obviously if they have tight clothes on then loosen them off, but not really going to be a problem in a dōgi. Hope this helps Alex (Sandan in Shukokai, Consultant Trauma Surgeon In profession)

Thank you for the videos Sensei, they are educational and entertaining. Please keep up the good work. With regards to helping someone who’s unconscious for whatever reason there’s some basic steps to follow. - lie the person facing up - Check for response (you should call an ambulance if the person is totally unconscious) - open Airway (by doing head tilt chin lift) - look listen feel for breathing - check pulse if you know how to If breathing is absent - then you’ll need to know CPR and AED If breathing present - put the person in recovery position (to prevent airway obstruction from tongue and saliva/secretions/vomitus) while waiting for ambulance to come. - in context of martial art class, KO by concussions shouldn’t happen in the first place. If it does happen the casualty should consider going for a brain scan to rule out any brain injury which might not show symptoms until few days later. Hope this helps.

Choki was a real fighter and a genuine old school Karateka.

[@phillipmoore9012]

Yes, back in the day a few of the books I had introduced me to grabbing and trapping. This idea is clear in Motobu's illustrations. The three karate schools I attended in the 1970s and early 1980s did not teach trapping/grabbing, aside from one school that had a "self-defense" class once a week. I have not seen again these old books on Kenpo, except the Wing Chun book by Yimm Lee. Over the decades the only book I still have is the 1973 version of Funakoshi translated by Ohshima. I can report using trapping successfully even in tournaments, although not technically allowed. I also had much success with a technique I also viewed as a type of "trap" for kicks; it was essentially what could be viewed as a shin block in Thai Boxing, but it had other uses. I once had photos of me in tournaments simultaneously trapping both a front leg and arm. I bring that up because that also was not taught then. I've been taking great interest in the more recent interpretations of the old kata based on countering common aggression instead of sport karate.

[@patrickpittorino7032]

[@sassuki]

It is a big topic, and can't possibly be handled in one video and by a single person. I would recommend the "Authentic Pressure Points" DVD series from Master Scott Rogers for that (9 volumes in total)

[@jujitusuka]

I think I’d like you to explain all of the other chapters , please.

[@stevepanda1716]

In my class one night I was teaching similar, traditional forms of kappo (katsu ho). The father of one of the students was watching. He is an doctor at the nearby hospital where he specializes in emergencies and traumatic injuries. He said “that will work!” He said it actually made sense to him, and he was fascinated to see these older approaches.

[@Noone-rt6pw]

Can you suggest any written material.or video on kuatsu/kappo? Someone somewhere has put it on video or book. Curious if you might know??? What style are you in? I've heard of Danzan Ryu teaching this. Where it's very good to know how to help someone. Also, modern medicine, a doctor may better treat a person with medicine,cetc. But, the average person isn't going through 10 years of school, where Kappo/kuatsu may very well be very effective as I doubt they were held onto and taught just because, they had to have basis to be retained, which I do not think such should be allowed to fade into obscurity. I'd really like to know more myself. Appreciate your comment

[@MJRLHobbyStuff]

I think it’s worth mentioning, in those days karate were meant to be taught in private or in small groups. Writing a book was a big no-no. Also the idea that you “need to keep something for yourself “ was a thing. So intentionally miss teaching or doing something a little strange or off was common, intentional mis teaching just in case someone decided to use your techniques on you

[@DJAraRealSalsa]

This continues until today at least in kung fu which is what I practice, There are still things that I have learned that I have not found in any books or videos. In some ways that is a good thing because the deserving should learn this stuff and who deserves to learn should be decided by the kung fu sifu.

[@donoberloh]

I don’t know about Toudi “meaning” to be taught in small groups or single students in a Niwa Dojo but possibly the standards of people accepted as students were more stringent than Japanese schools that may have many people lining up and performing Fukyu and Kihon Waza for hours. (Similar to kendo practice.) A Shinshi from The Ryukyus would have a hard time teaching more than 6 or so students at a time because he would work one on one with each student, correcting the finite nuances of proper target acquisition, breathing and proper muscle tension. Things that cannot be taught and gauged with large groups. Also about writing books being frowned upon, I believe every serious student on Okinawa and other islands of the Ryukyu archipelago hand copied the Bubishi didn’t they?

[@donoberloh]

Why would you need to hold back some subtle nuances in fear that a student might one day be your enemy? No student will ever learn everything a proper teacher has to teach. Actually, they would have had only one or two best students, that in turn will eventually leave and embark on their own shugyo, adding/ altering their physical as well as mental levels, as their understanding mature. Any student that would ever become an enemy would not have been a very dedicated student, and as such would not have been taught much. Not that their Shinshi wouldn’t teach the subtle nuances of their families interpretation, but oft times teaching include multiple levels of understanding. A beginner cannot be taught the same things as students with ten or twenty years of training. Many, (I have not met all, of course) taught multiple “levels” of Kata. The kihon level of all Kata is but a rudimentary, perfunctory physical understanding. The later levels will only been understood through the lens of decade of proper training.

[@ghagzor]

Lol thats why you train real martial arts. Muay thai/bjj n maybe judo even. No bullshido gyms in muay Thai and bjj

[@Maracangaia1]

Who first use "kara" meaning "empty" was Chomo Hanashiro 20 years before Funakoshi. The first book from Funakoshi, written in Tokio was named Ryukyu Kempo Tode Jutsu.

[@roypaulcarter4654]

When I was a child I asked my dad if I could study karate but he told me I must study Judo first because he said it was the foundation for all marital arts. So I started with Judo. One thing we were taught was how to treat an unconscious person . I was never taught any first aid in any of the other arts I studied. How to fall properly is another skill not taught in most arts. My dad was right.

[@jonbroster]

The two methods I use to resuscitate people are as follows: 1. sit the person up and rub up their back (this was taught to me by my judo teacher - I have seen it used successfully several times). 2. lie the person flat on their back, ensuring first that their airway is open; stand by their feet and pick up their ankles, then shake their legs gently (I was refereeing a BJJ match when 1 player went out to a triangle choke. I stopped the match and use this technique. He promptly woke up and started fighting me! He was totally bewildered when I said: "Look, I'm the referee! You opponent is kneeling over there!" it was as though a few moments of his life had been deleted.)

I think anything one practices passionately will be a part of you - u will even see its techniques and strategies in how u relate to the world - how to make things more efficient - your relationships (with co-worker, friend, family, lover, etc...).

[@michaelborror4399]

I don't know, but if we throw up while we're laying down we might wanna go on our sides more often. Definitely would get tired of elbowing or kneeing people too much, although muay thai clinch could be easy enough to pick up when we're angry at each other sometimes. Been liking the isometric mabu horse stance alot lately, although I'm thinking if you can't find level ground, an upward slant like for a horse seems better. Not everyone is in as good a shape as shaolin disciples, with sumos, and people stopping before their knees get shaky and resting though.

[@ThinkerYzu]

It pretty makes sense for me to have healing as a part of the book. I don't know other places, but traditionally in Taiwan a lot of martial artists also learned orthopedics and traumatology. I found it also happens in Southern China. It is also how a lot of martial artists making their live.

[@daniel-zh9nj6yn6y]

I've read that Motobu kept losing matches against his brother, and that during one of his street fight training trips to the party area he lost against a guy who didn't even fight seriously. I wonder who that man was.

[@AyeJordan7]

Was the guy he lost against a martial artist?

[@daniel-zh9nj6yn6y]

@@AyeJordan7 Yes, he was. I found his name a while ago on Wikipedia, but can't remember it. He's not that famous, though.

[@kevionrogers2605]

Whether to disengage or engage by closing or opening the gap when doing uke waza or ate waza is dependent of timing and range. In Motobu's book he's already in trapping range, infact his lead hand is covering their rear hand, so effectively any straight arm punch can simply be defended by slipping, or parrying, so the age uke in this range does several things it deflects the strike changing the trajectory not only on the extension, but contraction phasing which disrupts the rhythm, striking sequence, and balance of the attacker; also it frames them, so that you have tactile awareness of what they are doing and keeps them from closing the distance and clinch with you. If you strike with empi waza at that range the elbow will be guided by the underside of the arm into the attacker's upper torso. One of the styles of Karate I learned named Isshin Ryu drills his kumite drills after learning Naifanchi Kata. Also it's upper body basics is a modified form of Ten No Kata omote and Ten No Kata ura done in seisan dachi or naifanchi dachi instead of zenkatsu dachi, so that it is more of an infighting range drill.

Kyokushinkaikan Karate in my opinion is more of Karate Jutsu in my, as it originally incorporated also throwing and ground techniques, prior to becoming a predominantly, stand up, full contact, knockout, fighting style. Nevertheless in general I would say that Kyokushin Karate could be both a Karate-Do (way/path), as well as a Karate-Jutsu (skill/technique) style of martial arts. In the end it all depends on the individual practitioner themselves, also how they envision it personally, Osu!🇦🇺🇲🇽🥋

I've been amazed how long it took medicine to see just breathing air into a person was the absolute best way to resuscitate them. All these other body maneuvers were not very effective. As for simple fainting, lower the head, maintain the airway, and raise the legs.

What is the title, I'd like this.

[@gojuspencer]

I don't think of it as DO, personally. I try to distance myself from that, actually. People often talk about the "essence," of the art, & seeking it ( 心髄 ). There is a demonstrable shift from Jutsu to Do & we can measure the results of implications of this shift. I seek & teach self-protection rather than self-perfection, as was originally intended. I see people with insanely impressive flexibility at times, especially with high kicking. It certainly it took time to achieve those skills & flexibility, & there are only upsides to being more limber in such a way. So, you can't discredit that. However, you can ask whether or not it is most conducive to self-protection? I'd argue that while helpful & impressive, the ways that lead to better self-protection are actually what we see in the traditional training methods & modalities found in Karate. That isn't to say there cannot be improvement, but adaptations should be met with a healthy dose of skepticism & scrutiny. Something like a high kick is high risk (since it compromises structure so much & is easily defended) & low to moderate reward... because the success rate simply isn't as high as doing something like a low crippling kick to the opponent's knees once you're close-in. The success percentages found in BJJ are something that sticks with me outside of grappling. I think all applications should be looked at under similar metrics, because that is what strategy is. When I do that, I find that I specifically want to invest most time & energy into practicing things that are most conducive to self-protection & not self-perfection. 不合理 was actually used over & over again to me in a reputable dojo (I won't name) in Japan, for Mawashi Geri within systems that focus on 近接戦闘, & was used to highlight why there is no mawashi geri in Goju Kata, or really any koryu kata for that matter. It's a longer distance technique that can't be effectively used at close range when compared to all the crippling low kicks we find in older kata. So, the idea is... you can become better at those low kicks for more protective purposes, or get better at the high kicks for self-perfection purposes. Up to the person practicing what is most important to them. You get good at what you practice. What you do in practice is what you'll do in application subconsciously. After all, we are consciously training the subconscious. That said, I think personal development is a natural byproduct of diligent self-protection training, so I don't really feel like I'm losing out on anything, I just know where my key focus is.

I think Karaté-"Do" is more for women and the elderly. The average man should pursue the Jutsu in my opinion, as he should be able to defend himself and his family at any time.
