Uechi-ryu fighting techniques (Kiyohide)

[@RichardFlores2K]

Low kicks, high kicks, straight punches, hard blocks, elbow strikes, knee strikes, takedowns and sweeps are KEY ELEMENTS for karate fighting.

I'm from a kickboxing background with only limited knowledge of traditional karate, however, I love watching these masters on video. As for the comments below, please, if you are so critical then why not post your own videos up?

I studied in Okinawan 1964, nothing Americanized about him the GI's have just changed to accommodate larger Okinawans, more Japanese if you ask me, if that was Americanized he would be wearing a GI with Stripes Neon lights and Polka Dots, with McDonald advertising on the back.

[@seanwhite2558]

Did you study with Peter McRae from Massachusetts? Not only my Sensei but more importantly he taught me respect , peace and dignity God rest his soul

I trained a short time with sensei and his brother under Ric Martin. His strikes are similar to a hammer.

[@seanwhite2558]

Don its absolutely mind blowing the power of 9th Dan. I was studying to get my black never made it as a offshore fisherman i am just a hack. I was amazed by the counters to an all out sword attack.

[@viawilderness]

I mean, that essentially true, but let me ask you something. I see your posts across an insane variety of different karate videos and your comments are literally all grandstanding for traditional karate, while talking sht about American karate. Maybe time to let it go

Hey! This guy came from Okinawa to my dojo in Canada! He's directly related to the founders of the style

[@wtfisthis7795]

Oyata?

[@Mattgically]

Legend has it that Master Shinjo can drink all night and then train so hard the entire class drops out puking the next day... Superman for sure. One look into his cold dark eyes can seriously crumble you from within. I'd sooner buy him a drink that upset him, lol

Those who are really into Karate know how much practical self-defense techniques Ueichi-Ryu has when compared to other Karate styles. This style nearly died off due to the non flashy techniques after WWII. Ueichi-Ryu has not changed much at all since their founding. Hell, you know you are in a true old school Uechi-Ryu when they have less than 3 katas. Katas for this style traditionally was never needed as they focused purely for self-defense. One of Okinawa's best karate fighters was of Ueichi-Ryu who also almost beat the shit out of the founder of shotokan. Those of you who want to go down the karate sport avenue, pick a sporty Japanese Karate, those who want practical self-defense only go Okinawan Ueichi-Ryu, if you prefer aggression pick Kudo (Daido Juko).

No offense intended in this post , could you explain why he is not protecting his upper body and face while "low side kicking" ?

Sans doute le karate d'okinawa le plus axe vers la self-defense ( bonjours le durcissement du corps +++ ) ,un karate qui vaut le kyokushin plus axe vers la competition a mon humble avis .

[@jackmichaels6108]

i dont see him "dropping" his guard. i see him illustrating highly advanced fighting tech. if you dont see it, you dont see it. besides talk that shit to cung le, its seems to me the only language the "fighting" man understands these days is what transpires in the cage.

@Yosua Krisena i have sparred with this master. He is from Okinawa. He ended up taking a lesson from me because he lost in 5 sec. I used Daido Juku.

[@ninthkaikan1544]

MrPietrasantino In MMA, you also see fighters have a low guard as well.

[@andreelyusef3235]

I agree. A skilled kicker would drill to the face and with blazing speed he he could KO a person before you knew what happen. Good basics are a must. Even with skilled boxers who have high skill and get away from basics because of there athletic ability. When they get older the same habit cost them.

[@normanbueno9570]

Except for the stamp or side kicks, all other techniques and combinations are not much different from other striking arts like kyokushin, Muay Thai, San shou, or plain kickboxing

[@MrPietrasantino]

I think you must watch too many movies and not enough time training. I have been teaching okinawan karate for 16 years. I made a valid observation. He drips his guard before he kicks. Whether its mma or a street fight its not a good habit. I know what old school okinawan karate is, like i said ive been teaching it for over 15 years and training for nearly 30. My sensei is not only
