Higaonna sensei is one of my favorite Karateka ever. Respect!

[@karolyholczhauser1528]

Oss Sensei ! It was a great pleasure to meet with him in Copenhagen in 2010 and have some training with him. I'm so thankful for God to give this experience for me.

[@ab79381]

Look at his knuckles. They are a lethal weapon for sure. Respect to this great master.

[@mortgagefinancing5558]

self abuse

[@andrewwazagow9120]

He is not a great master because he can fight better than any other. He is great in preserving the spirit of practicing Gojuryu Karate for personal development. His knuckles are ugly , and do not help to be master of guitar, and he knows about that. It's time for you to start thinking , burrito.

[@ronki23]

Higaonna is a badass. His son's also a successful MMA fighter

[@AJatethewaffles]

A personal hero of mine, this man is the epitome of what one can become with devotion and true hard work. He is the very best and I didn't know, because I started OGK so early, that when I trained in other karate disciplines, just how thorough and exceptional Sensei Higaonna's karate is. It is the very pinnacle of martial arts and he is the dragon.

[@orsonkaart1853]

That man could knock a mountain down!

[@chisangyeung9862]

Body and muscle power training is important for strong fundation But Real advance power comes inner CHI ,abdomen and belly movement Body keep clam and soft with mind Concentrate to deliver strongest and quickest inner power out. Not only hitting stone to make hands hard as steel

[@MichelLinschoten]

shut up please...if you even have a fraction of the skills this man has then you can consider yourself a master. KZbin warriors yucks..

[@dannytran2134]

That's why we have Sanchin kata in Goju-Ryu,

there's dumb comments even on this page. i'm surprised

[@andrewwazagow9120]

Well , I am not.

[@tvs566]

master higaonna is pure busoshoku haki user...

[@daboodeef179]

I don't get why they use so much tension. if you tense up like that your power remains inside of you and you cannot project it into or through your opponent. and also all this tension leads to slower fists speed and a break between movements, but with relaxation this allows the energy to flow better and makes it so that everything can flow as one movement and the power is projected outside your body. I think people misunderstand what hard and soft REALLY means in the martial arts. What hard/soft truly means is that the person relaxes which creates a softness but in this softness there is a strong qi flow which can make the body as hard as steel.

[@josephplogger8588]

The tension is used to master the motion in every instance of the technique. If you can master the movement and create a foundation in which you can move under tension, then the movements become natural under relaxation. The tension will cause your body to tire and force you to move more naturally as well. As your body ages, your strength will eventually leave you. It is to teach the karateka to move naturally while they are young and strong enough to force their ki to flow naturally so that when they are older it will flow naturally without the need to force it

[@wisemanskenpokarate2791]

daboodeef179 watch closer sir

[@robinsonmartialarts]

We are not tensing up what we are showing is control and controlling the flow of chi

[@cathyhatch1670]

The tension is also a form of Qi Qong called iron shirt.

[@andrewwazagow9120]

daboodeef179 To put it simply , it is all about forcing blood with its enhancement with oxygen through every cell of the body , while performing specific movements usefull in fights. The Chi energy ( Ki in Japanese ) moves with blood alongside meridians. The forced breathing helps to move this energy as well. Positions of the body ensure that the whole of body is not only filled with oxygen , but also the products of metabolism leave the cells. Thus the body is fantastically prepared to any movement recquired by situation , and is capable of doing it entirely on reflexes , without thinking. The fascia well supplied with blood , and used to being hit develops thickness and nervous flow helping its automatic reactions governing muscles responses. Actually the tension during actual fight arrive only in certain parts of the body , like fists ,or forearms at the moment of contact. The fighter is springy , but not stiff , his body is reacting without delay , flesh is harden and wonderfully conditioned. In one sentence : Training of the body is not the same as fighting. O'kay , another sentence : practicing scales is not playing the music.

سبحان الله وبحمده سبحان الله العظيم عدد خلقه ورضا نفسه وزنة عرشه ومداد كلماته

[@beastmasterakathabarbaric1509]

allot of teachers think their better then the others that school taught one of my sensei and the other one I can't remember his name but were all close to Memphis do you know any of them ?

[@dakentaijutsu2010]

that's respect there, I would give anything to practice Goju Ryu, but oh well I'm fine with Kyokushin karate. OSU!

[@ainako255]

good news is: half of kyokushin is actually goju ryu :D

[@dakentaijutsu2010]

aina ko if you mean it's influenced, then I'm very aware of that

[@timotot123]

That's what I became aware of in regard to the last Kata I learned.... Sanchin. It is really wonderful and can be quite spiritual when working on such a Kata. Your feet become roots so it's as if you transform into a tree, and you could take punishment to your body as if you're trunk becomes the trunk of the tree

[@RapperLegendSirColumIII]

I do not believe in soft karate either. I believe in pain.

[@DanielLiNeutrinos]

Kara tea??

[@SeiwakaiFirstOZZ]

This man Morio Hogaonna was thrown out (Sacked) from JKF Goju-Kai (in Japan), as he was found to be a "Lying Sack Of Garbage" in the Late 1970's. This event I remember well, as I was living in Tokyo at the time and training with Shuji Tasaki in Goju-Ryu Karate at the SeiwaKai Dojo. And now he is a Karate Saint???? Check out Miyazato's (Okinawan Jundo Kan) last interview and you will find Miyazato's opinion of Morio Higaonna. It is a real 'Eye Opener". If you can't find it, contact me and I'll send you a PDF copy.

[@goranglucina4342]

Totally agreed, a total nobody making unfounded comments on a great Master Higaonna Morio who I personally know. He can't even spell his name properly.

[@didiervidry7687]

What do you want to Say ? A lying sack of garbage ??? Is he really strong and dangerous or......not?

[@Colemandina]

Really the ONLY one?

[@vitalisotene4657]

Yeah yeah yeah,i know spirit worshippers

[@rmwtsou]

Call me irreverent, but I'd like to see him fighting a modern day MMA fighter in the ring, like they did with that famous "kung-fu master" in China. The "master" got whipped... badly.

[@subodhadhiman584]

wow sensei P B MISTRY [indian tiger] at 4.28, sensei mistry very respected master in GREAT INDIA, we are proud of mistry sensei. osu from RENBUKAI

[@CarlosGonzalez-vu1ew]

He said, Higoanna amazed me!” But did he touch you?!? If so, report him to the Catholic authorities. He may be a runaway priest.

[@TheManofsorrows]

[@TheManofsorrows]

[@cfG21]

Just like okinawa copied fujian white crane?

[@Supermomo2007]

yes, okinawa karate is fake white crane

[@mortgagefinancing5558]

Where is the wisdom I dont see that here. Jesus is the only wisdom . Be a follower of him and you will have a spiritual life.

[@andrewwazagow9120]

Mortgage Financing What is a wisdom in plucking your own eye when you're feel desire seeing a beautiful woman ? What wisdom is in not killing a murderous enemy coming to kill your family , and yourself . What wisdom is in taking example from birds and not trying to earn money for your leaving. What wisdom is in giving everything away , and becoming a poor man. What wisdom is in trying to serve your God and be simultaneously faithful to some cruel and despotic tyrant -king. What wisdom is in letting somebody to bit you or rape you or still from you . Many a follower of those words and rules of Jesus were tragically wasted. What is smart in making your body strong is that you not live your life as a weakling. This way you show your creator that you respect his work.

[@andrewwazagow9120]

"Beat you", of course. And steal , not still. My computer is getting old.

[@mortgagefinancing5558]

Where is there wisdom is talking lies to cover your void...

[@andrewwazagow9120]

@@mortgagefinancing5558 Am I talking Lies ? If you're a Christian you should insult and throw heavy stones of accusations only if you liked to being treated like that yourselves. Why am I an empty one , when you're NOT letting anybody to harm you ? When you didn't plucked your own eye after you looked at a woman with desire ? When you went to the army to learn how to kill the enemy of your state ? You're the one that is talking empty phrases. Pharisee. Jesus didn't say any wisdom except one : You will not be like a man standing at the corner of the street talking about God, but you shall go to the empty room , close the door and talk to God alone. Sooooo...... you're in sin even now trying to give an example of your sanctimony.

[@chamboyette853]

He's not that tough. Last year Dinky, Carlos, Eddie Lee, Bubba and I were kicking his ass really bad until the crowd pulled us off. We had to sit in jail for a week and pay a fine but it was worth it. Next time he'll think twice before running his mouth about how much of a bad ass he is.

[@dakentaijutsu2010]

now we both know that's a straight up lie

[@chamboyette853]

***** Jealous much??

[@dakentaijutsu2010]

chamboyette853 of what? Of your lies? Of your keyboard trolling? Of your cowardly untruths? Then I guess I am. Lol!

[@chamboyette853]

***** So you really think that the 5 of us lost? Can you really be THAT stupid?

[@dakentaijutsu2010]

No, I just think you're just nothing but a straight up liar who will just say anything just to make himself feel proud, and even if you did 5 did jump the man (which you didn't) the only thing you prove was how cowardly you and your friends are, cause you really can't beat him alone anyway, and deep down, you know it, I'm not trying to make fun of you, I'm just telling the truth!
