Matsumura Seito Shorin Ryu Ancient Karate Okinawa

[@m96920]

There were cameras to record videos of these grand masters but there are no videos to see them fighting, what is that mean?

[@Mrcashewww]

It means this is bullshit.

[@MatsumuraSeito]

no video back then in the mid 1800s, that's what is means

[@MatsumuraSeito]

@@Mrcashewww wow, can you elaborate , that was in the 1800s????

[@Mrcashewww]

@@MatsumuraSeito well technique cameras were invented in the 1840s and motion pictures around the 1890s but you missing what I was getting at it’s bullshit regardless.

[@MatsumuraSeito]

@@Mrcashewww again, elaborate, what is BS about it? Cameras etc., Okinawa was a very rural place in the 1800's, I doubt few if anyone had cameras.

♏🥷 both, as 🕒 unfolds, so would the knowledge, going backwards and forwards,in the eternal present, sensei.

[@ralfhtg1056]

I think that the old styles should be both preserved as they are, and still adapted to modern needs. Both ways should be taught simultaneously. As a master, I know, once said: "Know the past to understand the present".

Not everything, is about breaking boards , or competition , where real life , cannot be used , competition , must be structured, with rules , real life, is very different , especially if faced with armed attackers , and nowhere to run , no door to leave by . Other than , through , at least , thirty men , and not actually having to fight anyone one of them , to leave , peacefully , not harming them , not getting harmed yourself , either , That is a skillset .

Some things remain , mysterious , liked your video . Karate, is a way of life, disciplined, especially carrying great responsibility. To yourself and others. It is not all about modern karate , traditional does have it's values.

The first and only time I ear someone saying Matsumura teching karate to japanese samurais who ruled and controlled Okinawa and didnt trust any Okinawans .This sound weird and suspect.

[@gatocles99]

Karate was the exclusive practice of the Okinawan samurai class. A lot of people don't like that truth.

[@johnbain1908]

If you mean warriors of the Ryukyu kingdom, or penchin in their native language, then I can agree. But for him to have taught Japanese samurai of the Satsumi clan I would need to see historical documentation. I have been wrong before, but I have learned that oral history is usually passed down with errors or misinterpretation due to Language skills.

[@gatocles99]

@@johnbain1908 All of the early masters were Samurai class, and Karate was not taught to lower classes... until social reforms kicked in. There was more clans than just the Satsuma in the Ryukyu Islands.

[@johnbain1908]

@ if you want to call it semantics that is fine. The original Ryukyu kingdom language was not Japanese so they would not have used the term samurai.

[@teovu5557]

​@@johnbain1908Japanese was the official language since the 1800s. Both samurai and penchin were used interchangeablely.

[@josephshehan4969]

Keep the style as is for now.😎👍🏼🤷‍♂️😊

[@Jameskeith1972]

I teach private lessons in Matsumura Shorin Ryu. KOBUKAN. Online lessons available.

[@denismorgan9742]

All ancient martial arts needs preserving or anything that can be learned from these will be lost. It's a necessity not a option modern techniques could be made from these or some may no longer apply but this does not matter, it may be used or useful in the future.

[@teovu5557]

It's the 2024 buddy with modern biology and science today pretty much all effective combat techniques involving punching and kicking or grappling is known now......only so many ways a human body and punch or kick or whatever and be effective Is studied and known.....old martial arts didn't have modern science and biomechanics hence they are not as effective.....facts

[@denismorgan9742]

@teovu5557 fact, I have used ancient wrist locks that are a lot better than modern day one's faster and more effective, these was nearly lost to history. There's also many banned moves that have been banned for good reason that also should not be lost to history.
