Be sure to check out Sensei Yusuke's video where we talk about American Kenpo. Watch on his channel now! kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6fMhpuwoNqJoZY

[@TyehimbaJahsi]

Love listening to discussions between martial artists of mild-mannered, humble, respectful demeanors. Very refreshing.

[@christianstephens7213]

Amen most MMA guys you see on youtube are jerks

[@christophervelez1561]

Great crossover y’all.

[@ArtofOneDojo]

Thank you!

[@Semperkick]

Watch the young man for a long time and he's doing a great job.

Time to invite Karate Nerd now ;)

[@artisticsolarninja]

Easy there. Jesse is very busy right now.

[@KenpoKid77]

@@artisticsolarninja Not that busy, he's already done a video with Yusuke-san and Hard2Hurt, so it's possible.

[@sliderx1897]

Great video Dan. I think its awesome he teaches karate to tourists. When i visited Japan i went to train at the jka honbu dojo. It took alot of research and i had to get alot of info from friends and instructors that had gone previously. What a great service that is!

[@ArtofOneDojo]

I think that's such a great opportunity for a fun experience. If I go to Japan I'm totally going to check that out!

[@moshack]

Shorinjiryu Kenkokan Karatedo in (Tokyo) we have a Dojo Kun that everyone recites. We also use the SuperSafe Bogu for Full contact sparring. Our Soshihan is Masayuki Kudaka. With a lineage that goes back to Kudaka Island in Okinawa.

[@artisticsolarninja]

Finally a Collab with Nagano Sensei Edit: i accidentally called Nagano wrong. My bad, got a typo problem

[@artisticsolarninja]

Whoops. I said "Nagani" lol

[@cahallo5964]

Shorin Ryu is awesome, it looks like wrestling with strikes.

[@artisticsolarninja]

They are a lot of shorin ryu styles but some shorin ryu has a different kanji text. One is derived from chinese shaolin and the other could be derived from the mainland of okinawa but it has some shaolin influence but it's a little confusing which one?

[@jakmak52]

Having a third degree in taekwondo and a second degree in shotokan I actually prefer the shotokan kata over the taekwondo especially my tournament kata is called the Bassai Dai (minor) which I probably mistranslated to Breaking though the Fortress". I definitely need to revise my kata to reflect the OG Shotokan.

[@tsan3796]

Great to see hear the preservation with no egos here - oddly at the IKC traditional systems always had big crowds during kata competitions

[@lazarusgrey4866]

Super interesting! Love the team up! As always, thank you 🙏

[@ArtofOneDojo]

Thank you!

[@ericte2400]

I have debated on what karate art that I want study, I.am on the fence with kenpo and kajukenbo, and now shotokan. Which are all interesting.

[@Samperor]

Try all class and see what suit ur body

[@thedude5894]

Fantastic interview with dope guest. You should try get wmpyr, kwonkicker or sensei emmett on, that would be cool

[@ArtofOneDojo]

Sensei Emmett did interview me! Great guy and he does a ton of awesome interviews!

[@traditionalmartiallife5425]

I seen that, was cool. Hes a major under rated guy and such a genuine nice guy

[@thedude5894]

Must check that out, hes interviewed so many badass people, would be cool to hear more about him. I know hes on supershea tutorils next week, which will be kick ass.

[@YoukaiSlayer12]

Nice crossover, it’s good hearing more about Keio University & the older generation that aren’t as widely as known like some of Funakoshi’s other students.

[@JovenGalleno]

Dan, Seth, Yosuke and Jesse Enkamp should do a collab! All in ONE!

[@Kamingo170]

As for the unspoken rules. I always walk into my gym without saying a word to anyone at all until after I change into my gi and stuff.

[@fourscorpio]

Great interview with Yusuke! I enjoy his channel a lot too.

[@ArtofOneDojo]

His channel is great!

[@Soldier-of-God.]

Thank you for bringing us this wonderful interview, with Sensei Yusuke Nagano of Japan's Shotokan Karate. Like you Sensei Dan he is very knowledgeable, humble, honourable as well as respectful and open minded towards other martial arts styles. It is great to see that Sensei Yusuke Nagano, being a young man, that he has an open mind, where he sees the positive blending between the Japanese and Western mentality, approach and attitudes towards martial arts training and conduct of one's self. This was a phenomenal collaboration between you two, of which I look forward to further videos with you two, on both of each other's KZbin channels, Osu!🇲🇽🇦🇺🥋🦘🐨🙏

[@KurtAngle89]

Boy, what an age to be alive. Collabs between the best content creators in their fields

[@Abluemoon9112]

Both of you two are great keep up the good work.

[@ArtofOneDojo]

Thank you!

[@assoverteakettle]

I don't practice karate myself but I really enjoy Nagano Sensei, and Jesse Enkamp's channels (as I do kempo on Art of One Dojo) for more of the cultural and philosophical sides of martial arts...so in essence I guess i do practice mental karate!

[@danskarate997]

I like the fact there are still disciples of gichin funakoshi still going strong, keio dojo sounds like the sort of place I would like to train.

[@mattavila7889]

This is great I really enjoy your content. Your personality is great and open. I’m a Shoulin Kempo practitioner myself so I have interest in Shotokan because we have some of that mixed in our basics, such as our beginning forms etc. I practiced tae kwon do as a youth which then it was low stances and a much harder style than what you see today due to becoming an Olympic sport with walking stances etc. my Sensi from then put kickboxing on the map in our area and produced a couple multi time weight class world champions. Again this is a great channel I appreciate it and support it fully so keep up the good work and stay Blessed!

[@ArtofOneDojo]

Thank you so much!

[@camiloiribarren1450]

Hah! I love seeing the comparison of Shotokan training in Japan and the Shotokan training in USA. It is definitely great to see comparisons between practices between countries

[@NasosBoutsikas]

Great episode! Both of you are great senseis with lots of experience!

[@ArtofOneDojo]

Thank you!

[@caalmodeoc]

Loved it. You two are great, guys. thanks for all the vids

OSS & Greetings Yusuke Sensei. You certainly are our worldwide reference as you're adept to Speaking English ✌️😊🥋👨‍👩‍👧‍👦♥️🌏

[@BaiLong45]

An excellent exploration of Karate from the Japanese side. Very interesting to hear about the expectations of respect from Sensei Nagano. I also liked his discussion on asking questions. Now, it's not as strict as before and yes it depends on the instructor. However, I totally understand the idea of exploring the concept first before asking a question. Saw that a lot while I was in Mainland China and Hong Kong. Finally, it was interesting to hear Sensei Nagano's comments on styles of Karate in Japan. There's more of an Okinawan influence in the US instead of Japan. Again, we see that Karate is not a monolith but varies from place to place. Hope to hear more discussions in the future.

[@williamw1332]

Very cool interview Dan Sensei! 🙏👍 it would be great to go to Japan , learn some katas, spar, and if possible…guide us to some of the more favorable Japanese places to visit. 🇯🇵🗻

The country which has the greatest number of Shorin Ryu practitioners is the Philippines.We always thought karate is Shorin Ryu...we do not even know how it all started.

[@artisticsolarninja]

They are a lot of shorin ryu karate styles Some also have a different kanji texts I mean shorin literally means Shaolin in Japanese.

[@AngAswang12]

@@artisticsolarninja we realized that one too with the advent of the internet. We still need historical precision as to the provenance of our style: did it come from filipinos who studied in okinawa? Or..with filipinos who came in contact with the art in hawaii...or in california? In almost all the dojos in the Philippines we do not have teachers of kobudo...the armed component has always been Arnis... from the anerican servicemen we learned combat judo...so we study/ practice...shorin ryu karate, arnis, combat, judo. Now other karate forms have entered such us shotokan, kyokushinkai...also taekwondo, aikido, wushu, bjj,sambo...in families knife drills are common

[@214warzone]

Very Nice! I also prefer a Taller fighting stance, which has my feet relatively closer together. I don't see much value in having a low stance in a real fight, with your feet wide apart..

[@Kamingo170]

Takedowns. That's all I'll say..

[@Docinaplane]

Those traditional karate wide stances are not as good as the kickboxing stance which allows greater mobility and power. As for takedowns, all I'll say is single leg.

[@214warzone]

@@yqweqwun7390 the sideways stance is good. But it makes some attacks more easy for the opponent to see. My stance is 80% sideways I guess. But not so much that it's obvious what I'm about to do.

[@jakmak52]

When I started martial arts in 1994 I went to a school that was simply called USA karate and they had what they called American taekwondo which is pretty close to the ITF taekwondo (Chang Hon) discipline. When learning a new Kata/Bunkai we would be taught the kata in 3 sections When the first section is mastered we move the second section and so forth. When the 3 sections has completed we run the run all 3 together to complete the kata in it's entirety I was fortunate to have Master John Graden who was a student of GM Joe. Lewis who was in turn of taght by GM Bruce Lee and Walt Bone & Michael Anderson of WAKO, who brought Sport Karate from Germany to the US.

[@LukaMegurine]

I loved how concisely and matter of fact you were in your explanation of Kenpo and Ed Parker. Very informative. In Sensei Yusuke’s video, you showed a stack of Kenpo books. I’m familiar with the insights series, which you showed, but what are the thicker volumes? I always love reading anything Kenpo I can get my hands on and I’d love to know what those were. Thank you!

[@ArtofOneDojo]

The thicker books I showed were a series of books by Leo Lacerte. They are out of print and really hard to find now (I had to order them from Amazon UK and Spain) but they are fantastically detailed. He wrote them as manuals to teach the material and the amount of detail he put into writing them is insane. Here is a Goodreads link to the first one, but like I said they are getting hard to find. www.goodreads.com/book/show/18568636-epak-beginners-book-1

[@LukaMegurine]

@@ArtofOneDojo Thank you so much for the response! I counted 6 in your hand and was able to track down 6 volumes. It sure was a challenge, like you said. Can’t wait to read them!

[@ArtofOneDojo]

@@LukaMegurine There is a basics volume but I did not get that one. I got books 1-6. LOTS of info in there. I hope you enjoy them! I'm still getting through the second book lol.

I keep asking for a Brandon Lee's style from the movie Rapid Fire.

[@ArtofOneDojo]

You keep asking? This it the first time this username has asked for this.

[@christianstephens7213]

Can you please convince my Hanshi , to let us have higher stances I dont like deeper stances😢

[@Jpizzel-f1x]

Can you what karate is in the art of self defense

[@cahallo5964]

the style in that weird movie?, it's a fictional style based on kenpo, they are the only ones that wear coloured gis

[@ArtofOneDojo]

In modern days a lot of arts will wear colored Gi's. I don't think it's based on American Kenpo.

[@cahallo5964]

@@ArtofOneDojo not only that but there is a whole scene where the sensei talks about constantly acquiring more techniques even if it isn't strictly karate, which is very kenpo in my opinion. Also maybe you are right and this is just mental gimnastics by me and it isn't based on any style in particular lol. Also the original comment might not be asking about the movie and I just assumed poorly.

[@christophervelez1561]

I don’t practice karate at all but Sensei Yuske’s channel pops up on my feed and I have liked all the videos I’ve watched.

[@Haywood-Jablomie]

I poop on feeds as well

[@2wulfmartialarts657]

I think it's awesome that many of the youtubers that I'm subscribed to are interviewing and doing content with each of, you and Yusuke included. I am a student of Yusuke's online classes and he does put out great content, along with being very helpful with the training, despite being online. Kudos to you both for trying to bridge the gap in Karate.

[@ProdigiousReturn]

What other KZbinrs do you subscribe to for martial arts? I’m always on the lookout for good ones.

[@septred3]

I was in one of Yusuke san's online free classes in the recent past.

[@ArtofOneDojo]

Did you have a good experience? He seems like a great instructor, I watched some of his instruction.

[@septred3]

It was, but I believe that certain aspects that I would learn better from you than him, but all in all the moves are pretty customizable.

[@donelmore2540]

It is funny that the university Shotokan Karate Clubs in Tokyo have developed differences in form and Kata. Funakoshi was the formal leader of both Keio and Waseda, but he allowed them to diverge somewhat. The founder of Shotokan Karate of America, Mr. Ohshima, trained directly under Master Funakoshi and has tried to be faithful to Shotokan as he was taught and the changes he has made are few and far between.

[@matthewthompson2844]

This is gonna be a good interview!!

I hope you enjoyed it!
