In Okinawan Goju Ryu we don't call it "sparring" or "kumite"...we call it " iri kumi ". If you search under Goju Ryu and Iri kumi you will find plenty of full contact fights with Ground fighting....because that has always been the Goju Ryu Way long before there was MMA. Goju Ryu's founder Chojun Miyagi also trained in Judo in Kyushu during his military service and wrestling (Tegumi) as a teenager. As an adult and Uchinate master he also taught grappling and submission as the unarmed combat instructor for the Naha Police Academy. So before you brave and informed keyboard warriors shoot off your mouths, do some better research, better still, go to your nearest Okinawan Goju Ryu Dojo and try sparring with them.

[@BlindassassinMGTOW]

Not trying to sound like a know it all but I have 2 volumes of Okinawan karate books that talks about the history of the styles and Masters. I've read something interesting about goju Ryu. Before "goju Ryu" was a name it was called "hogo judonto" ("the way of inhaling and exhaling is hardness and softness") named after a line from a poem in the book "Bubishi". Or "Hanko Ryu" ("the way of half-hard") in a famous incident was questioned name of his kata. Then shinzato explained to miyagi what had happened.

[@ruiseartalcorn]

Well said!!! :)

[@adopodrinje1499]

how long does it take to learn the basics of karate? here where I live we have Kykoshin and Goju Ryu schools? which one is better? or more effective in self defense? or hardeR? easier to learn? I do know kickboxing and boxing. but never done karate. still I would LOVE to try it.

[@ruiseartalcorn]

@@adopodrinje1499 There is no "best" style - only which fits your needs better. I would suggest that Goju-ryu might be a better fit for self-defence, as traditionally that is what it was created for. Kyokushin is probably more focused on competition, although they train hard and I would hate to get hit by one of those guys!

[@toraguchitoraguchi9154]

@@adopodrinje1499 It depends which branch of Goju. There're lots of Good schools but also more mcDojos about.

@8:24 either her left wrist is deformed or she been practicing punching improperly.

[@vincentlee7359]

Most likely she is focusing on the fist too much, specifically the 2 front knuckles. Her pinky on the right (her right) was loose.

[@Makinja]

Yup. And reason for the comment was she's wearing what looks like a black belt. You would think those key details would have been corrected years ago.

[@vincentlee7359]

@@Makinja That thing is still a child. Probably only 10 years old.

[@Makinja]

If in fact that's true, that 'thing" ( I prefer "student"), seems big for 10. it would support my opinion about not issuing black belts to minors. In many schools a bb is issued after 16 not just in karate but in other arts as well. In any event, the observation was made purely on the technique as demonstrated.

[@wilhelmu]

@@vincentlee7359 that thing is obviously an adult woman ,but i dont expect a random person on the internet to know how adult women look like

[@laurencelance586]

Interesting Seisan. Very different from Matsumura. Btw, I happen to very much agree that sparring teaches very bad habits and completely counterproductive to the Karate of Miyagi and his and earlier generations.

[@laurencelance586]

@Mister Guy Sparring and sport karate was completely unknown on Okinawa pre WWI. Karate is not a game, it is as one master reflected "a killing art". There are very few people left who understand the old teachings. Master Ronald Lindsey in Texas is one such. Fuisei Kise on Okinawa is another. Sparring teaches nothing of value. Proper practice develops muscle memory. Sparring teaches chaos, the opposite of what one needs in a real combat situation. The reliance on sparring is the very reason we see karate ka overwhelmed by simple charges from untrained individuals. Proper use of foot work and proper development of close range power, coupled with an understanding of anatomy and the psychology of aggression enables the trained person to defuse when possible, and stop the attack with force when necessary. Stopping an attack draws on a wide range of technique and psychological management of the situation. These skills are almost extinct in modern karate.

[@jonahguerrero2255]

I agree with the point that sparring does teach certain bad habits. Martial arts, Karate especially is more then just a "fist-fighting system." It is Self-Defense. The problem with sparring and sport fighting, compared to a street fight/life or death situation is the amount of restraint someone is going to show. While sparring in a dojo, one is not going to break their opponents kneecap and strike them in the throat. Sparring is often about trying to land a clean strike on the torso . (sometimes head) Real self-defense may quickly incapacitate one's foe. Many martial arts such as (traditional) Karate (Goju-Ryu & Shorin Ryu) teach techniques to do exactly that, and are meant to be trained with great restraint. (only to be implemented if absolutely necessary)

[@laurencelance586]

@@jonahguerrero2255 Yes, I agree. In sport there is a desire, a need, to gain points according to the rules and preferences of the judges. In actual combat, where there are no rules of any kind, one must end the conflict as quickly and as decisively as possible. This is a one to three second rule. In specific this means that the instant it becomes clear that retreat is impossible there must follow a technique that renders the enemy incapable of further aggression. Pain compliance technique often do not work because no all combatants are pain compliant. That's the part where real trouble begins, because at this point we need to escalate the damage past pain and into muscle or joint injury. One may think the next step is joint locks. But joint locks are of very limited use. The extra two or three seconds needed to apply a joint lock is dependent upon stunning the attacker long enough to apply the lock and render the individual immobile. Remember, the attack gets a vote too, and is not going to react like a student in a dojo. He's amped up on adrenaline and likely enhanced by substance abuse. This, along with rules of engagement, is why we often see four or more police officers struggle with an assailant. I know all the above to be true because I worked for 9 1/2 years in the highest violent crime area of Seattle where I had big windows looking out on the street. I never kept track but if someone said I saw 2,000 to 5,000 cases of assault I wouldn't question the numbers.

[@wilhelmu]

@@jonahguerrero2255 on the street such things don't happen usually either. when people fight its often to show superiority not to kill their opponents. stuff like gauging the eyes or breaking the knee takes a lot of mental fortitude and resilience you must want to destroy your opponent like in a war. most street fights are just people slapping each other throwing some haymakers then walking away with couple of bruises. if you really want to harm someone you'd take a gun, or a knife or a baseball bat or some other type of weapon. if you decided to fight or assault someone unarmed, the total destruction of the other side is not your priority.

[@zandekan6269]

Why they don’t spar ?

[@mukiwabanda2794]

You know why

[@shankarsatheesan6846]

Actually, they don't compete. Although I haven't been to their dojo and can't say for sure, majority of Goju ryu dojos do a decent amount of sparring. This seems like a good one, so I'm pretty sure they do it hard!

[@mukiwabanda2794]

Name one single goju ryu Dojo (post a video) that does sparring. Or stop lying. Either one

[@m5a1stuart83]

@@shankarsatheesan6846 Actually they do compete, in my country they compete and kumite with other Karate Ryu.

[@vincentlee7359]

Possible Answers to your question below: - They have a schedule and it probably is not the day for sparring - They do not spar - They rather focus on this for the video than spar Now I do not know much about Karate Dojos on mainland Japan. But for Okinawan dojos, some dojos do spar and some do not. Okinawans have a different mind set than your Western MMA ideology. If you want to know or not, why not just go there and challenge them. I am pretty sure they will give you an answer.

[@mukiwabanda2794]

No sparring allowed. Cooperative students only.

[@shankarsatheesan6846]

I'm not sure if he said anywhere in the video that they don't spar.

[@mukiwabanda2794]

They don't. Hundreds of videos of higaonnas Dojo exist online. Not one shows sparring.

[@nelsonventura7374]

I am sorry but you are wrong,yes sparring exist in this dojo.

[@m5a1stuart83]

People want every MartialArts sparring exactly like MMA Fights. Every time they go to the gym, they had bruise all over their face and broken leg or arm. When other student down, they want to smash his head with their kicks, after the student KO, he want to be praise as a winner of the Dojo. LoL
