Tetsuhiko Asai. Danger Within. Shotokan Karate Demonstration, Moscow 1996 (part 1)

[@andreynapalkow5520]

Почему он на глазах у всех, вышел вперёд и завязал пояс? Обычно это делают в уголке, отвернувшись... Это...неуважение...?

Many years ago I was being instructed by sensei Kato and he asked to attack him oizuki. I hit him and he was surprised and impressed . He was a marvellous instructor and I regardless him as a friend . I miss him as do many . His karate was beautiful . I only hit him , because he taught me so well and I always practiced fundamentals kihon for A to B speed . When I trained with Kagawas university students , I felt at home because that same A to B movement was what they practiced constantly . I still hit 90 % of them . I know at 25-35 I was very good . Old age and injuries have taken that speed away . Happy times . 🙏🥋🇬🇧

I originally started in Shotokan and had never seen this style done like this before watching Andre Bertel and then Asai. I left Shotokan because it didn't seem right for my body type & ended up, after a stint in Tae kwon do (which had its genesis in Shotokan) with a Korean teacher who felt Shotokan & it's derivatives too stiff and hard to be effective. He taught a more fluid, continuous style so I find myself in strong sympathy w/this. But I don't like this one-step method myself

[@Витязьвтигровойшкуре-ш2д]

такое ощущение, что он всех бы там положил один, если бы все нападали

[@gishoooo]

I would like to see more videos of Kato sensei in his prime when he had great fights with other instructors. If someone has those videos please share:) Osu

Традиционное каратэ: бой на расстоянии 1.5 м, длиннющие атаки, заведомо известный удар и партнёр - маленького роста... Повторит ли мастер то же самое в бою, хотя бы против одного сильного, или слабого, если двое? Зрелище не очень эстетиное...

[@ANDRIIFESENKO]

Цирк.

[@khamarikumbukani2072]

Master Asai was very dangerous and capable of defending himself against unforeseen attacks, he was also an expert with various weapons. Even as an older master, his skills were remarkable.

[@andreynapalkow5520]

Come forward end tie the belt...is this...disregard for those present...?!

[@rtt1961]

I've never seen Asai Sensei teaching. Thank you.

[@djmikey73]

I've had a few seminars from Asai sensei. My first seminar was in 1996. I was 5th kyu then. It's only for the last years I sincerely realise how greatfull I am he gave us seminars with parts I still use in basic training. Osu

[@GosokuRyuYodan]

What a gift for those who could attend! Asai San was unique in all the world!

[@savvasperisanidis]

'For me, I see karate as only small part of whole martial arts' Brilliant

[@AntonKvintPutin]

If you looking good you see, block and hit.

[@StuartMirsky]

A very astute observation! But he is still very fast with excellent timing and sharp aggressive attacking capability in a way that is most unorthodox for traditional Shotokan. Yet a real fight would, indeed, happen differently. Nevertheless, his skills are apparent & suggest he would acquit himself quite handily in any such encounter. I sure wouldn't have bet against him, even at that age.

[@valeriocyprianigomesdeoliv1205]

What was the cause of Asai's death?

[@jalwardo]

Well it's not sparring.. He's demonstrating different techniques. So repetition, in this case, is perfectly normal. Sort of like ippon kumite.

[@DragonDreamVNY]

thank you for sharing :)

[@karatedaddy2]

I was there too, it was amazing!!

[@distinctloafer]

Hontoni?

[@santannakarate]

This is ridicoulous. Why to beat still oponents like this? Its all sugestion. Some were humiliated.

[@MrBeiragua]

Everybody loves Asai sensei!

[@dammitjim9131]

The translator is beautiful! ... Asai is amazing!

[@carlosalvesassejur]

Asai Sensei was a beautiful star that brightens us with his visit here on earth and the universe is now brightening.

[@DemonCisco]

The blond woman in the beginning, is that Svetlana Kapanina, the Aerobatics pilot? Anyone who knows?

[@shotokanbiker]

I've only been an ukes twice for his demonstrations and kato's countless times. Sometimes they want you to attack faster and harder, sometimes it's to show the precise timing of redirecting/blocking/timing, to show options /variations, and repeating it is also so you pick it up because his English or our Japanese isn't great 😉

[@99MALO]

nothing to say: only pleasure! thanks for posting!!

[@christianbrecht]

This is dumb He makes the ukes do the techniques many times to get the rythm and timing of the cosecutive attacks. He counters unpredictably attacks that are predictable and done repeatedly and mindlessly. What if the uke stops being a robot and attacks freely? Could he still do those things? I feel Asai's karate really deterioratied as he got older and started with his non orthodox munchiken

[@Gieszkanne]

"many times to get the rythm and timing of the cosecutive attacks. " If you really think that someone who practice Karate for 40-50 years needs that you are a stupid moron!

[@amir.maimon]

Good video. I recognize Sensei Kato, but who are the other Japanees instructors?

[@gishoooo]

Arai sensei (first one) and Imaizumi sensei (last one to assist)

[@carlosalbertocastillocoron1776]

ERA UN SEMINARIO PARA DEMOSTRAR LO QUE SABIA HACER?

[@christianbrecht]

Thanks Stuart. But how much POWER does he have? I doubt he had much as of the time this video was taken since he seems to have abandoned much of the principles of basic kihon. My two cents, I'm not saying I'm a karate great or anything.

[@shotokanbiker]

@karatedaddy2 I was there too, it was amazing!!

[@sanitysedges]

Thank you for adding the english translation

[@chevytruckjoe]

Such a good video, thank you for posting.

[@oussamaxjvxf2785]

The leyend .....Ossu

[@Kendodeshi]

Thank you for sharing!!!!

[@brinnonvallere]

nice

[@omurcanhaki7193]

Os 🥋

[@manurewaboy]

Do you think the repetition is for his benefit or for the benefit of those who are attacking him. I think he is trying not to hurt the attackers , it would look bad if he hurt someone badly on video & in front of all those karate students...

[@efranz2205]

Это не какратист это шоумен🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Он мог бы так же мешок с песком взять разницы не было бы!
