Uechi-ryu foot techniques (Kiyohide)

[@EpiphanyMindChange]

You have head kicks in Uechi style? That's crazy! Mad respect 🙏

[@ilj2796]

It amuses me how some people don't understand how devastating that front kick would be if landed properly, your best bet would be to just try and move your organs out of the way;)

[@danielmarques5980]

Do the toes have to be conditioned to be used in such a way?

[@ilj2796]

@@danielmarques5980 very much so, it's kind of a dying art to condition like they did back in the day though

Trained with him and his brother under my sensei ric martin... Very powerful dude..

Daniel Profitt bullshit

[@ninthkaikan1544]

@@moocraftpro3798 you should go to Okinawa and fight him if you really want to prove it’s fake

[@Schlitzmiller]

Way back in time in florida I remember Rick Martin got disqualified in the underground badman contest because he would end the fights too quick with toe kicks to the thigh and jaw.

[@shevetlevi2821]

For years I was affiliated with West Palm Beach Uechi dojo. I only heard about Sensei Ric Martin some years after he joined them and I left them but I know he had a formidable reputation as a fighter. If I remember they trained for a while under Sensi Gushi but I'm not sure. I'm fortunate to have had excellent sensei. So are you.

[@rontate7719]

I respect this ability and the history and techniques.. No one I know wears armuor,that these kicks are meant to defeat,,, Kicking with toes to penetrate gaps in armuor,,,, I would run from a dude like this if I could...

[@complexblackness]

Ron Tate lol you can see he sticks his kicks for a split second, to driver that power deep into the body. I'm sure he would retract it faster in a real fight, but the power would be felt.

[@robbietheking69]

exactly just what I was looking for, especially the last type you hit with the lateral part of foot, I was just doing it hitting the wall, but I'll put a bag like that instead

[@vlatkogladovic1284]

Thanks you,Nice Job is done,ossssu

[@HighOctaneExtreme]

I'm Thai I see this. His movement seem like That kick has no power. But his kick can made more pain than the muay thai kick.

[@janeyanuaria4743]

High Octane Good observation, but you must not judge or underestimate other martial arts.

[@muhammadalialfikri5607]

High Octane so where does the pain came from?

[@ilj2796]

Muhammad Ali Alfikri so what a lot of people don't notice is that when he throws his front kick, he's actually looking to kick you with his toes, a good toe kick to soft parts on the body is devastating because all the energy is concentrated into one spot (the point of impact where the toe connects), experiencing pain from it is an understatement to be honest

Little swing but he can make hard kick.

[@hotpopcorncake]

this karate it's had same tech but the conditioning and focus on the hit is different then shaolin first

[@frankking781]

Why is the sound of the impact delayed? .

[@mancogbu]

If I got kicked by Master I would roll over and die!

[@elgrottodiablo]

his left side on the kicks are not as accurate or balanced as the right. Does anyone else see this?

[@rontate7719]

Ever one has weak side,beside we dont know his whole story or body mechanics,,,

[@richardedwardbyrd6857]

Who gives a shit you dumbass? You think he gives a fuck? I can tell you if he missed the target with his toes that shin bone would fuck you up.

[@ninthkaikan1544]

elgrottodiablo Even the Okinawa masters themselves are humble, Shinjo sensei himself says he still see’s himself as a learner and unskillful. Knowledge is an endless ocean.

[@elsons.araujo2664]

Isso é Uechi ryu

[@sniperdoc8404]

@suissecarnifex I would agree. Shaolinquan, to me, has way too many patterns. This is one of the reasons I really enjoy Taijiquan. Taiji is Shaolinquan refined and honed to to use less patterns for similar purposes. To me this means it should be faster to master... depending on your definition of mastering a martial art. xD

[@sniperdoc8404]

Since Uechi-ryu Karate is based on Shaolin Kung Fu it would only seem proper for them to have the front foot as they do. The Bow and Arrow stance for Shaolin Kungfu should have the front foot turned inward at a 45 degree angle, and the rear foot is 180 degrees behind the front foot, also with the foot at 45 degree angle. The rear heel should be lining up with the front ball of forward foot. The front knee should also not pass beyond the foot. The stance is relatively wide.

[@Schlitzmiller]

No. Actually Uechi-ryu is based off of a southern Chinese style called Pangai Noon.

[@Schlitzmiller]

If anyone who fights in the ring for sport and says they are using karate they are liars.

[@cjlogic6908]

Wow so true. One of the best comments I ever seen.

[@Schlitzmiller]

​@@JoseGonzalez-gg6rs Exactly! Karate literally means "Open Hand" not "spinning fancy kick"

[@paulatmstrong5556]

Well with all do respect to anybody ...i wouldnt want to be on the end of those kicks ...i guess everybody is a master kicker ...maybe go to his dojo and compare your kicks to his !!!
