Old JKA Karate - Rare historical self-defense film directed by Nakayama Shihan

[@eutube81]

The one who hides in the corner of the building to ambush Shihan Nakayama is my sensei Kunio Sasaki. I used to train under him in the 80’s in the Philippines. Two hours every night, six days a week sometimes we have four hrs special Sunday training. There’s not a lot of students in a class as most of don’t last long.

[@arnoldcohen1250]

I studied martial arts in the 1960s. This film brings back great memories of Karate as practiced then. Thank you.

[@Cholesterol-w1j]

You studied it? What you brought a calculator in the dojo ya bish?

[@arnoldcohen1250]

@@Cholesterol-w1j Don't you understand the full meaning of "study"? In the early 60's dojos were not on every street corner in the US. I had to travel quite a distance to first practice Judo and then Aikido. Going away to college I had to switch to Karate as that was only what was available in that small town and on campus. At all of those places, I encountered only people interested in "studying" and "practicing" their art. They were respectful of each other and eager to learn. Reading your comment, I guess that has changed also.

I love this beautiful vintage film! So, cool!

[@bajuszpal172]

Oh, Yes, Those were the days, .... The days of pure techniquessss, aaplications and brisk reactions. Many thanks for the original footage and leaving me just wordless on that perfection. I myself have bought several books of Shihan Nakayama. My best honour to him, may he rest in Peace, along with the late Master Enoeda. A beautiful piece of art to their memory and their followers. Many thanks, Paul,68, retired instructor of Karate,

Hola! Muy agradecido, lo antiguo es hermoso.

He is likely one of the most important figures in Karate for self-defense. To this day most so called Karate defense videos are practiced in GIs and/or focus too much on Karate vs. Karate. The only two Karate books I kept in my collection is his Practical Karate I and II.

[@chrisbaker3066]

This shows how much they cleaned up the older Okinawan , down and dirty techniques. No groin kicks, testicle grabbing, eye gouging or head butts. The" one hit one kill " ethos of Budo was dominant.

[@marcelolopezdiez4611]

Que notable gracias

[@winstonmiller9649]

While this vid may seem old fashioned, we should remember that it was made in a totally different time. Where a good elbow to the stomach or side kick to the tummy could discourage many would be nasties. Not like nowadays when many baddies will have watched uft and can evade or counter basic self defence. That said this vid is delightful and must have inspired many beginners who went on to do great training.❤😊❤

M nakayama me saluda a hitomi tanaka

[@MrNexarius]

Как наивно сейчас выглядят эти постановочные бои. Но тогда многим это казалось чем то неземным. Все же такой боец лучше чем тот кто ничем не занимался. Но ставка на один удар, неприкрытая голова и нулевая работа плечами, тазом и корпусом, а так же слабая работа толчковой ногой, застывание на месте после нанесения удара сейчас выглядят профанацией. Все же контактные бокс, кикбоксинг, муайтай, мма, разные стили борьбы (дзюдо, вольная и грекоримская борьба, самбо и бразильское джиуджитсу) показали как выглядит бой приближенный к реальности и выработали более эффективные техники, хотя некоторые из них сугубо спортивные, но хватает и тех, которые очень эффективны в самообороне. И главное, что там это все нарабатывается на огромых скоростях и до уровня условного рефлекса. Наиболее реалистичное карате, на мой взгляд, это каратэ типа - кудо и ему подобные стили - саньшоу, армейский рукопашный бой и пр - это эволюция каратэ. А традиционные стили ценны только исторической ценностью, и там еще можно черпать идеи для современных стилей, которые выросли с помощью спорта из традиционных.

[@redpillpusher]

[@Charlie-te2tt]

For most people, agreed. I wouldn't want to have ever got on the wrong side of them in any way though , they were at least, incredibly tough.

[@burntrim]

Bad analogy. It's obviously never worked for you, but you have the advantage on me, I don't know (a) if you ever studied it? (b) for how long? or (c) what you have studied?

[@tammykennedy4165]

@@burntrim it’s actually a great analogy there’s a reason why even in the early days of combat sports organizations like ufc there weren’t and still aren’t any shotokan fighter champions and it’s so useless none of them even bother train in it if it was effective they would

[@sashakhan1262]

@@tammykennedy4165isn’t American kickboxing based on Shotokan+boxing tho? So if they want to use the MMA-useful parts of it they just train in kickboxing. I have no bias as I only did karate from 4-7 and the only martial Arts ive used in self defence were Shinto Ryu Jujutsu and (in terms of de-escalation) Force Necessary.

[@redfoot69]

Knife took away then counter strike; the techniques here are very similar to tang so do system ; I suspect sensi itso of okwinia te system passed them down to gm hwang ke.

The only problem with this otherwise excellent film is that it is too un-realistic: Japan has such an abysmally low crime rate that none of these situations have a significant chance of taking place in Japan. 😆 Of course, the rest of the world can learn a lot of self-defence from this film to handle situations in their own countries. 😐

Diese Art von Selbstverteidigung funktioniert im Ernstfall nicht. Ich bin mir sicher, dass Nakayama nie einen Strassenkampf hatte, sonst hätte er so einen Blödsinn nicht gelehrt. Die Messerabwehr ist wie in einem James Bond Film unrealistisch.

[@antoniostrina82]

I think that Nakayama is applying sports karate in a real life situation and it fails. The only purpose of this documentary was to make Nakayama money.

補充：無疑,這也可算是基本功,單空手道有one punch、double punch、three punch in fast, 其他如跆拳道 等等的武術都是相同各種的套路(套拳)的操訓亦不一定代表不一樣的不能應戰,例如許尚若他倆真的對打或生死時,是會另一套板本的嗎！

[@chungbonglaw7956]

少林武僧同樣有其套路,到雷枱格鬥只有用於些少套路,如用頭頂地的打筋斗未見過以頭用來去飛衝撞對手,大體跟些少規則的去格鬥。

[@chungbonglaw7956]

詠春三套拳同樣規定某少範圍地操練,且黐手時大多雙方是對正腰馬的座低企定定,若到應戰時,對手不會是原地踏步企定定被怎由打,並需移步,其三套拳又是套路。
