How Was Matsubayashi Ryu Karate?｜Yusuke in Okinawa Spinoff #1

[@robertwurzinger6487]

I actually loved the first message, karate is not just a workout, not just a training... It's a learning experience, human movement with a special intention! 👍

[@KarateDojowaKu]

Well said!

[@bookworm3756]

I will say I love when you have guests because you let them actually talk and explain what they do. Not everyone does that.

[@KarateDojowaKu]

Oh really? I just think through communication and a good interviewer, you can truly dig deep into that person's ideologies. Videos without it tend to be bland, and anyone can make those.

Okinawan dojos are meant to be more like a family and friends meet up for training thing rather than an overly serious training session, love the series would like to see more

I need to see for myself because usually dojos are cults and this statement actually makes it seems more like one too

[@daniel-zh9nj6yn6y]

@@realamericannegro977 It's not like that. Since the dojo is small, only a few people can train at one time, so they get to know each other better. That's what he meant.

Thank you for this sincere and insightful experience. Okinawa, its people and culture are unique in many ways, and your observations are accurate. Uchinanchu typically strive to know and become friends with visitors, and your acceptance and understanding of this make these episodes even more enjoyable. I should qualify my statements by explaining that I’m have studied Okinawa karate for over four decades, have trained in Okinawa several times since 1980, and married to a native of Okinawa for forty years. For me, Okinawa is a second home, and it's people amoung the kindest and loving I have known. Please continue your outstanding series and thank you for sharing this special experience.

[@HollowNekoTensa]

The sensei didn't see Karate as a business but more of a way to connect and meet new people and learn more than just what he knows and I think it's a very good mindset since many people see Karate as a business now and they just wanna expand. I'd love if it wouldn't be just Interviewer/interwievied but more of an human to human connection if you get what I mean ^^ I loved your vids and they reminded me of the Videos of TheKarateNerd in Okinawa and I'm thrilled to watch more of your Videos with many more great sensei :)

[@KarateDojowaKu]

Thanks!

[@JaybayJay]

Master Nagamine was a big believer in this. Karate is a hobby, and you can make money off it. But he suggested that people have real business's to get away from Karate and to pay the bills. His exact words can be found in his book, "The Essence of Okinawan Karate."

[@matsug5704]

Whenever I would travel to my Senseis dojo I would find that Okinawan people are very welcoming and that they love to meet new people, thats one of the many reasons I love Matsubayashi Ryu , I get you you mean, theres a point when training stops being a chore and more like an everyday thing, like brushing your teeth :P

[@KarateDojowaKu]

Totally!

[@paddingtonbear5172]

This is why i train okinawan karate . Its not a chore , its just my life . Hip explanation is perfect .

[@ralfhtg1056]

I was on Okinawa 3 times now. And the people there... simply nice, warm-hearted and welcoming people. Once in a supermarket an elder okinawan man approached me and my friends and started a conversation while we were buying some food. Or when i was at a restaurant with friends, some schoolgirls were sitting at the next table. They were throwing furtive glances at us and giggled a little. I wove them with my hand to greet them and after that they collected all their courage and came over and asked if it was possible to take a picture. The next day when i returned to the hotel after practising at the Budokan i saw one of the girls again. She recognised me and was waving with her hand to greet me so i greeted back. Another time, when there was no training scheduled, 2 friends and i were having a walk that lead us also to the Budokan again. We had a look inside to see what other styles are practised there. We met an old Iaido master. Unfortunately i forgot his name. When he saw us he invited us to come closer. We had some difficulties, because his english is not that good, but we somehow successfully managed to have converstaion. He even allowed me to hold his Katana! He told us that it is a 300 years old heirloom of his family. To cut it short: The friendliness of the people there is just mindblowing, if you ask me.

[@KarateDojowaKu]

That's totally true! I love the people there :)

[@IsaacLausell]

The grace, gentle demeanor and deep understanding of karate this Okinawan master displays is an example to be emulated. There are a lot of insights in what he presented that can benefit any karateka regardless of style or branch.

[@timluc0428]

As a native English speaker who was born and raised in Japan and speaks Japanese fluently I think your English was fantastic. You expressed very well the essence of what I also observed and gained from watching the series. I love your videos in general and connect most with your style of presenting out of all the KZbinrs. Keep up the great work. 🙂

[@2wulfmartialarts657]

Its awesome that you're learning karate from different styles and perspectives. The mae geri example is something that I've been doing myself, yet you showed me a different version that I wasn't used to. Learning how to apply the kata from different bunkai can also open up your mind. Continue to explore outside of your "style" of karate and essentially make it just Karate and expand your horizons.

[@KarateDojowaKu]

Absolutely!

[@rkdemay]

Your English is impeccable, and your message about having a breakthrough in your practice makes perfect sense. Congratulations. Thanks for sharing.

[@ra8640]

I started Shotokan Ryu in 1970. I've studied many different martial arts along the way, but Shotokan Ryu has always been My true way. A very disciplined Budo. Outside of Okinawa their karate is very different, even harsh, Not as You described it. As I watch your videos I see a young Sensei learning and sharing his experiences in such an honest way. This is truly the beautiful side of Karate, not the ego or politically based ugly karate. This Okinawan series is outstanding. Karate is like the air We breathe, it is always there even though it may not be noticeable. You have learned this and that is Incredible and respectable.

[@KarateDojowaKu]

Thanks so much!!!

[@rafaelkoga5762]

[@cmlgoncalves]

Matsubayashi Ryu's mae geri is just like Taekwondo's ap chagui, extending the hip after raising the knee to get more range and power. It's nice to see styles getting to the same technique coming from different paths. :)

[@KarateDojowaKu]

Thanks for sharing!

[@BooLee01]

The things you said about Shinzato Sensei is kind of what can be said of the Okinawan people. I lived there for three years and I lived in Tokyo for ten. If I ride a bus in Okinawa, people sitting next to me will take the time to talk to me. If I ride buses or trains in Japan, no one would ever say a word to me about anything. Okinawan people really enjoy person-to-person relationships and communication. Nothing is "all business" for them. I love that you have an open mind and that you are willing to see the good side of other martial arts. You channel kind of reminds me of what Naka Sensei does.

1) Lol. I get what you said. It's like walking. As a baby you can't walk, then you start standing, then taking a few wonky steps, but as an adult it's something you just do and not even put effort in. 2) I've been doing the hip twist on the mae geri since I saw the video. Love doing it. I've been trying to incorporate a lot of the techniques from the videos. 3) Totally hope you go back to this sensei.

Shinzato Sensei is indeed a wonderful role model as a karateka, as a teacher and as a human being. I am very fortunate and quite honored to be a part of his Shorin-ryu Kishaba Juku international learning group!

[@TheNakedWombat]

With meeting and exchanging knowledge comes improvement and a deeper appreciation.

[@Burvedys]

I think for Okinawans karate is not only a lively heritage but a kind of ikigai. They live in the moment and find happiness in that living. So it's not like "there is my life and there is my separate life called karate". It's more of "karate is my life and there is nothing to fuss about it".

[@KarateDojowaKu]

I totally agree!

[@scottishsithphotoygraphy]

Hello from Scotland. As someone who is studying the Okinawan arts that influenced Mabuni Kenwa Sensei in the formation of Shito ryu (My base style of Karate), I'm really enjoying your Okinawan series so far, and look forward to the remaining episodes. Keep up the good, informative work. -- John.

[@lawrencesounddesign1862]

This is really interesting - in our Shotokan dojo we use the hips in maegeri as he does. We also roll the hip and cut up with the outside edge of the heel in side snap vs. the long outer edge of the foot. Now, 39 years ago when I started training, it wasn't that way. We kicked with squared hips and did side snap with the outer edge of the foot instead of the stronger bones on the heel. I'm not sure exactly when it changed over the last 4 decades here, but it did. I'm pretty sure I know *why* it changed, though. One session on a heavy bag and you can 10000% feel the difference in power transmitted to the target!!! So I think it was a gradual natural improvement that just became part of daily training here!

[@gongfutaijimy]

That hip thing completely changed my front kick in like 10 seconds. Thanks so much.

[@kodain]

As someone who comes from a non-karate background, my image of karate has always been this organised and almost militaristic spirit where everything is super serious. When I've seen dojos here in Sweden, it's always felt strict and stiff, and how you need to say "osu" to everything (even in okinawan styles such as Shito-ryu). From what I've seen from okinawan karate in Japan, it's always a somewhat relaxed atmosphere where everyone seems to focus on training while having fun, and not once have I heard "osu" from any Japanese outside of Kyokushinkai, it's always "hai". It's very fun to watch these videos, as they not only teach me a thing or two about striking (which is a bit lackluster in my art), but it also helps me understand the world of karate more. すぎのビデオをたのしみ、ゆうすけさん。:)

[@BelloBudo007]

I'm sorry to be so late to comment. I do occasionally go through videos to ensure I'm not missing out on something and came across this one. To me anyway, Shinzato Sensei came across as a very kind, considerate, confident and genuine man. In fact the sort of person one would enjoy spending time with outside the dojo. I really liked his encouraging 'so, so, so, so', when he was commenting on your efforts. IMHO too many instructors look for the negative and fail to find anything that you can feel 'well at least I'm getting somewhere in that small area'.

[@maulopez4]

You're right! When you make extraordinary things on your ordinary life, they become normal to your eyes, but still extraordinary to other people...

[@KarateDojowaKu]

That's true!

[@davidmatthews2983]

Having travelled to Okinawa, I understand completely what your trying to get across. I saw in naha and surrounding areas, Many houses have a dojo on the first or second story, with that lovely wood grain, and the varnish rubbed off from all the training and kata. You wouldn’t know someone practiced karate until you walked inside or upstairs and met with a dojo full off kobudo and the styles founders in black and white on the walls. For a westerner, I wish our training could be relaxed like that some times, some students show up later, some just work on a bag all night or conditioning, instead a lot of etiquette and formality are at training, which sometimes I would of liked the Okinawa way.

[@thegourmet1625]

Very nice. Yeah man you did great explaining. Those who feel what you are talking about or can imagine it in your shoes will understand. These are great videos and these will stay staple of karate education publicly accessible! 🔥❤️🥋

[@KarateDojowaKu]

I appreciate that!

[@Soldier-of-God.]

In Okinawa they seem slightly less strict and rigid about their way of training, compared to mainland Japan, where martial arts training is taught in a more strict, regimented and highly formalised manner. It is good that he wanted to get to know you somewhat, prior to training and teaching you Sensei Yusuke. Here in Australia I wish we would do that with students, prior to let them join the dojo, almost like a job interview, to filter out the bad apples, that can be problematic. Glad to know that your overall experience was great in Okinawa, at your first dojo visit, Osu!🥋

[@KarateDojowaKu]

Well, I think Okinawans are welcoming to start with, but if you don't have the respect for others or don't have the manners, they will kick you out.

[@maxwellhamzah7483]

Mental attitude. I can see that Shinzato-sensei came from an era where given Okinawa’s sleepy economy before returning to Japan, as a young person, there were not much entertainment options out there back then. Dojos became pretty much a sanctuary, a social club instead of going to bars and getting drunk. But yes, I believe seeing such a role model like him will also teach you what the word “ikigai” means. Karate is not only about hobby, or job, but your LIFE.
