@Axel Ave It's a ridiculous technique and a waste of time.

Surely the student wouldn't feel safe up slapping a combative opponent in a serious situation, right? Of course not lol anyone with a brain stem would know better. The point is the technique itself is wasting the time of the student. At the end of the day, the accomplished task has enhanced no skills aside from creatively explaining the purpose of said task having already done it. What control is one gaining by squeezing a beach ball? Honestly? Balancing a baseball bat on the tips of your fingers will also teach you control, would you pay your hard earned money to flail around a dojo doing that? Lol nope! You can squeeze beach balls at home if you believe it to be useful. I'm at a dojo to learn skills. The "attitude" I'm carrying is simply 1. Doting over Segall is a quick way to exploit your ignorance towards his ability to quickly ruin your reputation seeing as though Segall has spent decades ruining his own. And 2. I'm not dedicating my paid time towards squeezing beach balls for whatever tired reason. You know what else teaches control over an opponent? Sparring, grapple training of almost any kind.. literally anything other than squeezing a ball lmao.

I have studied, practiced and sparred in most forms of empty hand combat and martial arts. There is value in everything, you just have to be opened minded enough to look. Bruce Lee, Dan Inosanto have studied damn near everything and have taken what they liked and was useful from each discipline. Just simply being tough is not martial arts. A martial artist is a person who aspires to have great character, integrity, self discipline and fighting ability. Hopefully, beyond all that they try to pass it on to future generations. I absolutely love what Master Tetsuhiro Hokama has demonstrated here. He is so full of life and passion with a willingness to share his knowledge. This is a real martial artist. Please keep an open mind and enjoy all that the martial arts can offer!

The only secrets I know are watching Jack Dempsey in his prime--Joe Louis in his prime--Frazier in his prime--Foreman in his prime--Ali in his prime--Hagler in his prime--Robinson in his prime--Tyson in his prime. I have respect for true combat Karate, yes...it is a system that works. However, I simply don't and perhaps cannot understand the allure or reverence for many traditional martial arts...the only aspect I do appreciate is the spiritual component. Every traditional martial arts school I have ever had the opportunity to train in simply does not test themselves in true high pressure, high consequence situations. It's merely a bunch of exercises that maybe look cool and have a great deal of history behind them. Now, there are some schools of Karate that do spar full contact at near 100% force...but, seldom. Compare this experience to the experience of any old school, real western boxing gym. See how they spar--compare that to sparring in modern and traditional martial arts gyms. Why is it seldom to see comments such as "What a great old martial arts master...this should be cherished?" on KZbin from individuals watching Cus D'Amato explain the peekaboo style. He was in fact as skilled in the art of fighting as this man...I'm sure.

And while Seagal may be considered a joke these days, he clearly understands technique. Master Hokama is legit.

Most people hate Seagal, true he wasn't very kind on his opinion about some other actors in the past (though he wasn't wrong often), plus a disgraceful episode happened on tv due to him being sick and shadowed him. Still he was one of the best in his discipline, elegant, fast and smooth, and his knowledges, which are incredible, are still there. He is very respectful of others martial artists and always ready to learn from others. He knows perfectly every possible weak joint point or nerve pressure and, as a person, he is a very okay dude.

@@alxdava2004 i am talking about rhythm and point of impact, every real striking martial art utilise this. ask any boxing coach, they overutilise those two. secondly, you talk about real life application on what being shown, of course if you only monkey see monkey do, it wont work. it need certain physical trait in order of that to be working and knowledgeable of muscle and joints. for example i believe you know how hard is muay thai fighter shin right? it also the same with okinawan karate, they train their fingers and toes bones for tens of years to be that hard, that is why only senior practitioner has that degree of hardness. you can also see the same with other traditional martial artist, most of them has hardened certain part of their body, even if their understanding of pro fighting is lacking. it only means that they are not experienced in full fight spars. jujitsu back in the days need to go to redlight district and beat up thugs in order to upgrade their belt. that is what lack in today traditional martial art.
