Your hand pierces the opponent's ribs! The secret of Okinawa "Isshin-ryu" Karate 【Sanchin】

[@MDIS]

When I studied Shito Ryu , it was heavily reliant on competitive karate on winning points. Some good memories , some not. Goju Ryu is much more difficult to deal with as their fighters still retain much of the Okinawan body hardening aspects and training methods. Shito is fast but Goju seems to be like fighting against a rock wall at time.

[@ericlittle162]

You are correct with my fingertips I can still to this day leave my fingers indented and corrugated metal fences and I can crush a WD-40 can and I have rheumatoid arthritis when people have sparred with me they say it's like hitting against a bone and yes in Goju Ryu we harden our bodies I was fortunate enough to study under John Roseberry . He started teaching me and became my shihan in 1971.

[@robertmallory1877]

The same is true of Uechi-Ryu which like Goju emphasizes Sanchin and circularity. Uechi-Ryu came from Pangai Noon which doesn't seem to have survived in China though there is "Incense Shop Gung Fu" that may be it under another name. Incredibly similar to Pangai Noon!

[@LucidDream]

Wish I could learn from someone in Okinawa. I practiced it when I was a kid, but I stopped. When I look around for places here in America, I'm just not impressed by most places I see teaching it. Feel like most of them here don't teach the meaning. Or question things or focus on bringing meaning to your life through it. The form is also not as good. And a lot of times, at least when I did it, felt like they just handed out belts for learning/demonstrating a kata. Instead of giving them to people who really master it. Feel they should be given to people who show proper form and meaning in their motions. I felt too like when we sparred, all the knowledge went out the window and it was just people fighting. Not really using what they learned. Teacher/Sensei is very important for me. I feel what I see in this video is so much better than what I've seen. Can tell they really love what they are doing and I like the engagement...the questions being asked too.

[@williamsmith8790]

They have retained the emphasis on structure and “fa Jin” that was lost in the strip mall karate in the states in the 70’s and 80’s. Too much point fighting turned it from a combat system into little league baseball over here.

@@Noone-rt6pw there's not much to tell. Harrill Sensei was talking about Sanchin and Sunsu, and demonstrated grabbing a rib by pushing his fingers into my gut and reaching under my lower ribs. Just his hooking his fingers under my ribs set me up on my tip toes.

[@shoreikangoju-ryuusahombu-8342]

This is much shorter in length and repetition than the true Goju-ryu version of Sanchin. It's also much faster with no tension. In my school Shoreikan/Kenbukan we actually practice 2 versions of Sanchin Kata the training version (with extreme tension) and the master version. The Isshin-ryu Sanchin is much more like the newer post WWII version where there are no turns (like the Higaonna Style). Also our (Sanchin) Dragon Style breathing is very different!

[@isshinwhat]

SHOREIKAN GOJU-RYU USA HOMBU - TATSUKAN DOJO 龍館道場 - Ours is Miyagi’s post-WWII Sanchin, as you alluded to. Additionally, Uechi Sensei is teaching them the movements only with no real attention being paid to the breathing or tension.

[@thomascharles44]

I hope Isshin Ryu can thrive in Okinawa as it has in the U.S.

[@Chrismw81]

Unfortunately the MMA propaganda machine of the last 20 years has done a real number to traditional schools. The whole "wouldn't work in the cage" mentality. Hopefully that changes in the future and people realize that not everyone gets into martial arts to be a prize fighter. Perhaps schools need to start focusing on bunkai and conditioning and less time on "self defense."

[@asamiyashin444]

​@@Chrismw81 I don't think that the self defense mentality is the problem. I think that the real problem is making martial arts into sports for spectacle and business. The UFC and the like being the head of the monster.

[@Chrismw81]

@@asamiyashin444 I guess my point about self defense is that it doesn't highlight the beauty and tradition of an art. SD is not bad, but my problem is when TMA schools start doing things like gun defense just because they feel obligated, even if the instructor has no real experience

[@asamiyashin444]

@@Chrismw81 Of course, I was talking about real self defense situations, not superhuman stuff like fighting unarmed against a fire weapon. For example, learning to control an aggressive person trying to push or punch you.

I watched the yoko geri about a dozen times, looking for knowledge that I could use. Then I noticed the map of the United States. I am starting to suspect that in fifty years Isshinryu will be a largely American fighting system; we have to learn all we can from the current generation of masters, so much will be lost if we fail.

[@josef-peterroemer5309]

Isshinryu already basically is an American fighting system, just as Shotokan is Japanese both started as Okinawan. I don't think it will ever be big in Okinawa, it is registered in Okinawa as a Shorinryu system.

[@markhatfield5621]

Substantially different from the Isshinryu Sanchin which I was taught in the 70s. I later learned there had been a lot of problems with how rank had been issued and things taught.

[@isshinwhat]

Mark Hatfield - what is your lineage. It’s identical to the one I learned.

[@markhatfield5621]

Primary instructor was 'Norm' Donnely, in Michigan in the late 60s and 70s. In later years even he mentioned how when Shimabukus son-in-law visited and demonstrated, the forms were very different from what was being taught here. Don't remember names but there was only one instructor between Norm and the first guy who brought Isshinryu here from Okinawa. Heard later that several times Marines studied with Shimabuku for a year or even six months then had to rotate out (leave), they might be given a certificate of sixth Dan and told 'I know you are training hard, put this in a drawer and take it out ten years from now', These guys were really only on a brown or even green belt level but were the ones first teaching Isshinryu in the U.S. and what was passed down to me. Then also there was politics. I read an interview with Shimabukus son-in law. He wasn't interested in karate, when he finally started he was given a fifth Dan in two years, it really was 'political'. Shimabukus own son wasn't interested in learning or training only running it as a business. He was later given fifth Dan, again in less than two years training. When Shimabuku died there was argument between his son and the head instructor over who should be in charge, they split up. Instructor had been concerned about consistency of training and son about business and income. The son gave automatic promotions to the blackbelts who stayed with him, usually bumping them up two ranks. Years later I realized the training I received was poor quality. I wish KZbin would allow me to separate this into paragraphs but it does not.

Use white belt when u go to new dojo

[@chrisdenison3273]

Not necessarily, they might not be "joining" the school and they're not claiming to be anything but a black belt in their own style. If you worked hard to earn your black belt and you've been invited to spend some time in another dojo, there's a certain level of respect between them. I don't think he expected the other two to wear white belts.

[@neilthackeray6640]

You don't need to wear a white belt unless you are actually enrolling in the dojo. If all you are doing is visiting a black belt is acceptable.
