MEET THE FATHER OF THE SHOTOKAN STYLE OF KARATE

[@78a67h]

Vast improvement over previous video. Amazing footage of Kanazawa Sensei (RIP) performing Basai (Dai) and of the devastating kumite techniques of no less than Frank Brennan.

It’s pronounced as Ku mi te not ku mite. SMH 😖

[@fernandoantunes151]

Some of the black and white Karate photos are from Okinawa Goju-Ryu Karate style and its founder Master Chojun Miyagi.

Thanks for commenting, really, sometimes I get confused, I'm doing research here and there are many styles with similar katas, thanks for the clarification

[@44excalibur]

@@THEWISDOMOFTHEEAST It's easy to tell the difference between the styles when you remember that there are only two branches of Karate - the Shuri-Te/Tomari-Te branch, and the Naha-Te Branch. The Shuri-Te/Tomari-Te branch stems from the teachings of Kwang Shang Fu (Kusanku) passed down to Sakugawa Kanga and Matsumura Sokon, and finally Itosu Anko. The Shuri-Te styles are styles like Shorin Ryu, Motobu Ryu, and Shotokan. The Naha-Te branch stems from the teachings of Liu Long Gong (Ryu Ryu Ko) passed down to Higaonna Kanryo and Miyagi Chojun. The Naha-Te styles are Goju Ryu and Uechi Ryu. Most styles of karate evolved from one branch or the other, or a combination - Shito Ryu (combination of Shorin Ryu and Goju Ryu), Kyokushin (combination of Shotokan and Goju Ryu), Wado Ryu (combination of Shotokan and Yoshin Ryu Jujutsu), etc.

He got his ass handed to him by choki motobu not once but was thrown three times with a kote gaeshi each time, motobu was a true karateka but nevertheless funakoshi did get the recognition

[@THEWISDOMOFTHEEAST]

seriously, I didn't know, thanks for commenting and welcome to the channel.

[@niledunn4641]

@@THEWISDOMOFTHEEAST no problem,learned that story from Jesse enkamp

[@algagne6305]

Yes he did. And Choki Motobu beat him 3 times.

[@bieneulm1982]

Motobu and Gichin have been friends.

[@niledunn4641]

@@bieneulm1982 nope they never were friends gichin despised motobu he called him the illerate as motobu beat him in front of his students

You have to cringe at the AI mispronunciation.

[@THEWISDOMOFTHEEAST]

he AI ​​makes mistakes in some words, but it is improving over time

[@fernandoantunes151]

Karate "Doo"? Shoto "K - A - N"? Are this some kind of AI narrator?

[@THEWISDOMOFTHEEAST]

yes, I do it this way because my voice is terrible at narrating

[@betapwtomaszbyjos]

This foto not Funakoshi 😱

[@THEWISDOMOFTHEEAST]

yes of course, it is an AI approximation of him being younger, the photos that exist are old and in very low resolution😅

[@bieneulm1982]

The translation is horrible. Especially when it comes to explaining the Shoto nijukun.

[@THEWISDOMOFTHEEAST]

sorry!

[@devildogmarine6681]

This video is BS. There is not a single picture of Funakoshi, the pronunciation is ignorant, the presentation is not totally true.

[@THEWISDOMOFTHEEAST]

ok...

[@stuarthughes3747]
