WOW! There is no school like the old school! And some of that old school is still used today! Also, the Boxer has less to use then the Karate master, but he can use it well! The karate master can also use what he knows well! So pick what you want and enjoy! Both work fine! And while no contact sparring still exists, so does FULL contact sparring! Sure some people don't like it, but some people DO!

I was trained that way in the 70's with the JKA (makiwara training was very highly recommended). 50 years on, I have to judiciously decide how much my bones could take. I don't have a makiwara but there is a big brass padlock hanging on the gate in the park where I train almost everyday. It makes your tsuki accurate (or much pain is felt). I miss that kind of dojo training. The other karateka can uplift you to do more than you want to on days that you really don't feel it. I suspect that you might do the same for them, too. Oss!

Сергей, здравствуйте! Спасибо за Ваше творчество, очень давно подписан на канал. Очень хочется услышать Ваше мнение о модернизации каратэ. Не WKF, а каратэ в целом. Как Вы считаете, старая школа Накаямы самая правильная? Или же каратэ, как и все в нашем мире(наука, медицина, технический прогресс) должно развиваться и приобретать иной вид? Предлагаю Вам снять видео на тему "каратэ в первоначальном виде vs современное каратэ"

[@chrisofmelbourne87]

To be honest, the truth lies somewhere in the middle. I like any Martial art ehich is part traditional yet open to technical, teaching or other changes over time.

IS this the old Takudai dojo?

[@ambm9808]

7:20- "karete expert by far the more formidable opponent." I wonder if they tested this back then. Is there a video? It seems like common wisdom is boxing is fine against one of the traditional karate styles, so I wonder if this changed ad some point as one art developed more then the other, or if it was just favoritism from the narrator. I'd love to see a REALLY old school karate vs boxer match, from back before Karate was commercialized.

[@notmyname3681]

Boxing tends to be 'fine' against the traditional martial arts because boxers train to fight, including live, unrehearsed sparring. Common wisdom tells us the trained fighter beats the untrained one regardless of style. It might also suggest that with equally good training the fighter with more techniques (eg kicks, elbows, throws, chokes as found in Karate) would win. But not always :)

[@ninthkaikan1544]

Adam AMBM I too wonder about this, maybe if we look for it long enough, a video of an old karate master vs a boxer can show up or we shall have to wait.

[@bashlivingstonstampededojo882]

That would be cool too see..

[@ambm9808]

@Paul I'd agree. I'd also say there are disadvantages to boxing, like not protecting against kicks or take downs. Really any "A martial part plus B martial art" will probably beat "just A martial art."

[@stlrockn]

In the early 70s when full contact competition was coming in, Aaron Banks hosted some events in New York City's Madison Square Garden called "The Oriental World of Self Defense" where many different martial arts were demonstrated by various masters and high ranking students. There were full contact boxer vs karate man bouts staged and in those early days the karate men regularly got their asses handed to them because they were not used to training for full contact and they did not have the stamina for a longer fight. (This was around the time I began my karate training in 1973). Things changed later when training habits evolved. I would watch these events (some televised) with great interest. I am sure some of that stuff is available on KZbin. Martial arts have evolved (Bruce Lee was a major catalyst in that progression). Just look at the free sparring in this video with the karatekas hands down at their waists. Nobody trains or fights like that anymore.

[@joseantunezgonzales5600]

técnica muy fuerte

[@samiajijudistira7199]

Ah...how watching this video brings back a flood of memory of my youth. I used to train in and practice all these movements. My instructor was a direct student of Sensei Nakayama. That's the time when you feel you could fly doing the tobi geri. I practiced using the makiwara until all my knuckles were calloused and knotty (to the point it was embarrassing because you could not hide them). But now, I am old and I only practice some kata just to keep me limber. The problem is, it has been so ingrained in my blood that I almost hurt my wife several times when she sneaked and touched me from behind unintentionally. She said there should be a ritual that I could perform to wash off all the effect my training from my system. Is there?

U must've had some intense training. You have a passion for karate training, as you still train today. That's amazing, don't let it go. Hopefully you show others your art of karate. Oss!!

[@dontneedtoknow5836]

I can help you with that. The problem is that training your instict to forget something you have trained your instinct to remember requires a lot. You would have to retrain a lot of different processes. It might be easier to train yourself to identify friend or foe at all times. Situational awareness per say would greatly reduce the chances of you injuring a friend

[@samiajijudistira7199]

@@frankie7033 Oss! Thank you. I studied it in my home country long time ago before I moved to the US. Karate dojos in my old country are not commercialized. A sensei teaches out of a duty as a disciple, not to make money. Therefore they can afford to be very strict and "brutal". In the US I used to teach the guys at a fire-hall, and also at work after hours.

[@carolstevens1429]

Most karate schools today are only interested in money. Winning trophies is their main priority. A wall full of trophies lure in the new students who believe they are going to a really good school because they have won so many trophies. What they do is train kids to perform some aspect of Karate like learning a specific kata in the black belt level and little else. They select kids with a good sense of balace and coordination who would be very good dancers if they chose to dance. When the child is proficient enough at the Kata, he or she is promoted to black belt (much to the delight of the child and the boastful parents) and they enter tournaments in the black belt division. They win the trophy with no problem and it is added to the wall of trophies. to lure in more paying students. My advice to anyone looking to take Karate is avoid the schools with tons of trophies on display, a huge crowd of students and pint sized black belts.

From your name possibly you are in USA and this video is JKA Karate; this type of Karate has the best instructors in Japan and outside Japan in Argentina (Mitsuo Inoue sensei), Brazil and couple of places in Europe. In the rest of the Countries we, the students do the best as possible. I went to the JKA in Tokyo but I do not like those types of dojo (you do not feel the spirit); in fact do not look like one. Also if you like Japanese Karate but do not like competition (like me) the good option is the Shotokai; that is the school that founded Mr Funakoshi, then Mr Enoeda took charge; problem is there is no any fine instructor outside Japan and they are in a few Countries. Regarding instructors (sensei) for example you have Wado ryu main dojo in Tokyo that is very good however, Wado ryu in many Countries is not so good. No doubt what type of Sensei counts sometimes more than the style of Karate.

Twice by people armed with knives . I’m here,never got hurt and stopped every criminal instantly and effectively, so why am I not dead.? According to you my karate is bullshit and doesn’t work. I’ve walked the walk pal and I reject your opinion. If you train correctly ,extremely hard and have courage and ferocity that’s the game changer. MMA has its weaknesses . You go to the ground out there and you’ll get kicked unconscious whilst you apply your fancy ground work. What works for real is fast one hit knock outs . I had a guy try and slice my neck open. I hit him and he was out like a light. As Sensei Takaguchi told me ‘ knife involved ,you be fast and hit hard’ . That man used to go and pick fights with yakuza gangsters with swords to test his speed and courage. There is stuff happening out there that is real and not some martial arts film.
