I had the distinct pleasure of attending one of your seminars Iain, and personally I have found that what sets you apart is your ability to 'ground' your information in examples and in theory. You don't tell stories because you like the sound of your own voice, you do it because it makes what you teach all the more memorable. Thanks for this series, it's really good stuff.

Thank you for doing all these videos. So many people are just focused on MMA as the B all and all. They seem to forget when karate was developed. It was not a sport. It was a life and death struggle. It can be as effective today as it was so many centuries ago when properly applied.

MMA is just another Fad, like Kungfu in the 70s and Ninjutsu in the 90s. It's lasting a little longer than those other fads, but it's still a fad.

Once the kinks are ironed out. But I guess that's all part of the fun really - working out that twisty double block combo is really a throw. 😊

@@GermanSausagesAreTheWurst I don't know if I would call it a fad as such - we have had competitive combat sports for literally thousands of years. If you mean the specific rule-set that makes MMA different to boxing or jousting etc, then you are probably right - MMA makes for fairly well-rounded fighters so it's a popular branch of combat sports to study, but it isn't the only one.

My eyes are watering thinking about how part 4 is going to start.

You've got to have balls to train martial arts. Not cause it requires that much bravery. Simply, your enemy has to have something to grab.

Thank you for the latest part of this series. I can see the kata gradually coming together. I really like how practical these self defence techniques are, and the fun way you explain them. Thank you again for sharing. Anyone who has attended one of your seminars is very lucky! You explain everything so well. I look forward to the next part!

Lovely! I'm trying to remember the advert that said "It ain't easy being squeezy", without Google.

Great information as always. Especially with noting how the katas show this information but as me & a friend were practicing over the weekend, the understanding or examination of those details are sadly not emphasized in the teaching for some. Which is problematic & has led to a bunch of misunderstandings for Karate.

I'm thinking of the Isshin Ryu "Wansu Dump" Ok, so I reach in, seize the groin, and then throw them over my shoulder? 😵‍💫 Do I restomp it after they're on the ground?

Soryym Sir, Katas are still helpful for beginners to put techniques of fighting into a meaningful structure. Statics and dynamics (Your preference, I mean)are seldom taught together.Paul,69

I’m not sure I follow what you’re saying, or maybe you don’t understand my position? I think kata is useful for everyone (not just beginners) and they provide a holistic set of combative methods in a structured way. While the kata freezes key postures that we should hit in movement (in order to make it the message clear), we should never hold a position in combat (the map is not the territory). As I tell my students, “There are only two things still in a fight: unconscious people and people who are about to be unconscious”. The past masters were clear on this point. It’s a while since this footage was filmed, but I recall I mentioned what Funakoshi, Nakasone, etc said on this point. It should be understood in this way.
