I'm sorry but no style or kata is "best". No matter what style you are in or how hard you train there is always someone bigger faster and stronger than you. But for some ignorance is bliss.

By: vvvviperrrr. on 20 Jan 08, 10:40:48
The reason for having reorganized Toute (??) with Karate (??). Funakoshi (Okinawan) took in Buddhistic thought and wrote it as Karate (??). It has the meaning of not having Weapon there. The person who asks nationalism for a reason has war aftereffect.

By: UtahShotokan. on 13 Jan 08, 03:05:10
Sorry Hito but you need to read more on karate history. Try "Unante" by John Sells. Its expensive for a book but worth every single penny.

Some members of the ...
By: Jejuk. on 30 Dec 07, 07:35:48
Some members of the ti school combined elements of what they learned from the Fujian traders, creating the foundation on which Okinawan karate was created. Hence, the original name, touti (China-hand), was simply a combination of 'tou' (China) and 'ti'(hand; the traditional Okinawan martial style). Karate became popular in Japan in the second and third decades of the 20th century after some Okinawan teachers, most notably Gichin Funakoshi, brought Okinawan karate to the mainland.

In the times of the ...
By: Jejuk. on 30 Dec 07, 07:35:24
In the times of the independent Ryukyu Kingdom, before it was invaded by Japan and forcibly annexed and turned into Okinawa Prefecture, traders from Fujian Province in southern China, who specialized in Crane style gongfu, brought their fighting style to Shuri, the capital of the Ryukyu Kingdom.

However, toute ...
By: Jejuk. on 30 Dec 07, 07:34:41
However, toute itself is a mix of a traditional Okinawa martial art pronounced ti (?)in Okinawan (more properly Ryukyuan) in the Shuri area of the main island of Okinnwa, and Crane style gongfu from southern China. In Japanese, the kanji for 'ti' is pronounced 'te' and forms the 'te' of 'karate'.

'Toute' (??) means ...
By: Jejuk. on 30 Dec 07, 07:31:54
'Toute' (??) means China-hand (ie China fist). The two Chinese characters can also be pronounced 'karate' in Japanese. As someone mentioned, nationalism and anti-sinoism in Japan was the impetus behind changing the kanji to ?? (karate; lit. empty-hand), which is what the martial art is known as today.

By: hitokijb. on 24 Dec 07, 19:24:34
Okinawa has different culture from the rest of the Japan like Texas and NY... it doesnt mean they are not Japanese, they are and they have proud... Karate-Do was created based on 3 tipes of combat used by samurai, but all the japanese martial arts has influence from kung-fu...

By: MCChase. on 07 Sep 08, 21:12:35
I have to admit those okinawan katas dont look much like the ones i practice in a mainland japanese karate style.

Well, Choi Hong Hi ...
By: brazilianspiritzz. on 30 Aug 08, 07:02:43
Well, Choi Hong Hi said, for years, he experimented and discovered the advanced kicks. I also don't think the TKD kicks came from Karate. It's only Pum Sae (kata) that they initially borrowed from Karate. As I read from those Choi's interview, the evidence that TKD kick is newly born technic, not from Taekkyun is that, TKD kicks are leanear, whiping motion, and done in 2 tempo. Taekkyun, cursive move, no whipping motion, and done in 2 and a half tempo.

i guess it depends ...
By: kempobrad. on 30 Aug 08, 01:25:20
i guess it depends on who you talk to. some people say taekyun played a part, some dont. but i don't think any of those advanced kicks were taught by gichin funakoshi, they had to come from somewhere. and as you know any "history" that's tainted by politics is only half believable.

Yeah, because the ...
By: brazilianspiritzz. on 29 Aug 08, 10:49:51
Yeah, because the organization got beef with WTK. Before, General Choi left Korea, he was the one of the frontiers of the organization. After he left to Malaysia and Canada, he developed more skills and made ITF. But we're talking about the origin of Tae Won Do before they split into WTK and ITF. When CHoi was alive, he said it many times. That he studied shotokan karate, and he wanted to add elastic aspect of muscle not only strength of muscle like Karate. Also, he said no Taekkyun skills.

*sigh*If u have ...
By: brazilianspiritzz. on 29 Aug 08, 10:46:06
*sigh*If u have anybody who can understand Korean language, you can easily find books and official record for it.Like Choi Hong Hee stated many times in interviews, he also wrote, in his book called "Tae Kwon Do and I"(directly translated from Korean might have different title in English.) that Taekkyun got nothing to do with Tae Kwon DO, except that when they made the name Tae Kwon Do, they borrowed the first letter and they had to get approved by Presedent Lee Seung Man.

i studied too. ...
By: kempobrad. on 28 Aug 08, 23:28:59
i studied too. noone says tkd is fake, and im not japanese. "the truth" huh? from who's mouth? who are these founders you refer to?

I don't even want ...
By: brazilianspiritzz. on 28 Aug 08, 06:50:10
I don't even want to argue witht his one. I am a Korea, who trains in TKD. So, I studied. I wanted to the truth. I get very upset if Japanese will just say TKD is fake. But I found the truth. Choi Hong Hee is, in deed, one of the founder of TKD. But TKD's history has a lot to do with Korean Politics at that time. The president changed back then, Choi had to move out of Korea for political confrontation. It's not one organization, it's the living founders! Choi's not just pure innocent guy either

it's a fact because ...
By: kempobrad. on 27 Aug 08, 23:49:02
it's a fact because one organization says so? plenty of others say otherwise. including that of choi hong hi.

By: brazilianspiritzz. on 27 Aug 08, 07:51:05
Tae Kwon Do never borrowed any aspects of tae kyon. It's a fact. you can look it up in Korean TKD foundation. Only Karate. But it evolved completely different.

Other than that thanks for the feedback.

Unfortunately, TKD ...
By: Chigura78. on 18 Aug 08, 11:32:19
Unfortunately, TKD has an emphasis on kicking rather than basic defense. On a first class you can start by kicking pads rather than learning body mechanics. Also, I don't wish to spend time learning a spinning back kick when I can learn a quick and effective take down. Yes it's fun, but I see it more as showmanship than anything you might actually employ. Respect to the practitioner.

By: kempobrad. on 18 Aug 08, 04:43:53
taekwondo IS karate. it is based on japanese karate. its just evolved in recent years into something else. basically the technical aspects of shotokan karate, with the fancy kicking techniques of tae kyon..an old korean kicking art.

Very nice to see snapping motions without the use of spectacular kicks. Curious, how much Kara-te would you say is incorperated in modern Tae Kwon Do?

By: somethingallright. on 24 Jul 08, 23:06:48
not realy, in kata you imagine multiple oponents but its not a training to fight multyple oponents but rather perfect your stances, punches, bloks ... and its alsow a good phisical traing.

By: LaLaLaflobble. on 25 Jun 08, 13:08:33
Well what you should really know about Martial Arts is that Katas, or forms, as seen here are not meant to be used exactly as practiced- they're meant more to be "guides" or "examples" that can teach the student the ideas, movements and basic fundamentals behind the technique. In actual use however, they would be adapted to fit the situation.

Those breathing ...
By: AlexWasBored. on 27 Apr 08, 05:05:04
Those breathing excercises don't look particularly pleasant! I kind of wish this video had some 'fights' in it. I enjoyed it but for someone who knows nothing about martial arts it's hard to determine how effective these 'moves' would be from just seeing them.

By: jchien. on 16 Nov 08, 17:32:25
Bubishi is the name of that old looking book in the film; this book is the original source of all karate. Bubishi contains southern Chinese kungfu techniques (white crane, etc) as well as traditional Chinese medicine, chi theories, dim mak/death touch/vulnerable medridians. The book was a personal notebook belonging to an anonymous Chinese martial arts student. Karate was called the way of Tang (from Tang dynasty, meaning Chinese) hand; the Japanese changed the name to empty hand.

By: MuskokaLad. on 26 Jan 08, 23:01:26
Kenpo was Kung Fu. The last two letters can not sometimes be read as "Fu Kung Ju" in Korean as Kem-Fu or Kung-po. So basically "Kung po-fu goju Matsubyashi ryu" is a Koreancheese name for Kung-fupo that was imported to Okinawa. You had several facts wrong aswell.

By: the5thdominion. on 04 Dec 07, 21:04:22

By: the5thdominion. on 04 Dec 07, 20:32:09
I guess what I'm trying to say is that the term "kung fu" may translate as "kempo" but the numerous arts classified as Kung Fu (wushu, (not wushu as in the modern wushu crap that the communists created)) are different from Kempo. A good example would be basic defenses - they may have similar principles to certain styles of kung fu, but the execution, even when similar, is different.

Maybe in name, ...
By: the5thdominion. on 04 Dec 07, 20:28:38
Maybe in name, although if one wants to explain an art, for historical clarity one should use its name from its country of origin. The movements from all the Kempo schools I've seen are different from any kung fu styles I've seen; there are similarities, but the general arts have some very distinct differences.

Kempo IS Kung Fu. ...
By: Hotora86. on 04 Dec 07, 18:56:25

Just in case your interested, the Karate style Wado-Ryu has many jujutsu techniques in it (especially knife defence and Kata bunkai). The style is one of the top 4 most popular and was started by Hironori Ohtsuka who was the leading jujutsu practicioner in Japan at the time, hence the jujutsu infulence over this style of Karate.

By: Blackheart1211. on 06 Aug 07, 18:41:17
I've always wanted to learn karate. I learned a few jujutsu techniques during my short time in the military...I'm not bragging, so please don't flame me; I know nothing compared to anyone who has taken more than a week's worth of martial arts training. I just wish I could learn karate and cross-train in jujutsu.

By: kempobrad. on 21 Dec 07, 14:07:46
goju ryu (naha te) matsubayashi ryu is shorin ryu, along with kobayashi, shobayashi, and matsumura seito (shuri te, and tomari te) uechi ryu in my opinion is not naha te, it is categorized as naha te because it is simelar.

part 2. at least ...
By: kempobrad. on 21 Dec 07, 04:01:22
part 2. at least this is how it's done in uechi ryu. which is a bit different than goju. the butt muscles should be tight, with your pelvis curled up. belly pushed out and down. shoulders pulled down with your lat muscles not your arm muscles. hope it helps

just do a search ...
By: kempobrad. on 21 Dec 07, 03:56:37
just do a search for sanchin here on youtube. you will see the goju breathing....and hear it!! (remember that) it should be noted though that the muscles arent physically tensed, or you cant breathe, try to sort of push your abs out and down. instead of simply tightening them. you should be mobile and able to breathe and speak while remaining hard bodied.

By: dmitzah. on 13 Dec 07, 07:57:31
I have an old VHS (american) video of a karate master of Isshinryu (another main okinawan style from goju and shorin ryu) doing sanchin kata, virtually unchanged, and you can really see his breathing techniques. I will try to get them up, and let you know. He's quite a spectacle.

sorry, i don't have vids that demonstrate these techniques. but if you watch this vid at around 1:00 you'll hear a guy doing these excercises. listen to the way he breathes and observe how his shoulders don't move up as he breathes. perhaps you might be able to learn from it that way

By: dude1001xxx. on 26 Nov 07, 22:23:37
if you breathe out through your mouth in a certain way (quite difficult to describe) you may feel that your abs tense. this is a goyu ryu way of breathing, especially when walking kata sanshin. i do goyu ryu karate but only for 3/4 years now and our sensei often demonstrates the proper breathing techniques. they are essential in combat.

By: davefarber. on 04 Nov 07, 05:14:51
From a "medical" stand point, it almost doesn't matter. Your nose goes directly into your throat, as does your mouth. The only true difference would be that your nose can protect better against dust because of mucus. In Karate, you should always breath out the same amount and intensity you breath in.

Hahahha I respect your admission that you screwed up! That's much stronger than saying it's the right way, its a different lineage etc, which lots of people would say!

well i am a kicker and so are my people. the thinking is, you have to get past the legs, and then we will use the hands. but Okinawan Goju-Ryu Academy is the name of the school...but thanks for the reply

By: thomaskarate. on 25 Jun 07, 10:30:13
well I use what I feel works for me. To me, Martial arts is about using what what works for u. I have studied Martial arts most of my life. I try to give my students a well rounded view of the Martial arts. and Guju was not my first art i studied...about 10 years ago I mess up my knee kick boxing and could not train in karate until about 2003 so I am still trying to get back all I have lost. But as always thank you for your comments and response. Peace and Blessingd

By: Pecherin72. on 25 Jun 07, 06:39:32
Hi, you seem like a serious and good martial artist, but your goju-ryu isn't really Goju. Its apparent in your techniques and the way the students fight. But great video anyway!

How many people do ...
By: IEKUKATAKA. on 14 Oct 08, 02:49:35
How many people do you really (that is actually, earnestly) train 1 hr per day intensely? I train five days a week and I find my body stands more, I am injured less and I learn more at a moderate pace with occasional bursts of full power. Full power training all the time is nonsense and boastful. I would not give a hoot in hell for that kind of training as it ends up being devoid of body mechanics and real power. Karate is learned by paying attention to the body. Not possible at MACH 1.

By: NONAG0N. on 22 Aug 08, 23:19:29
how often, how hard, and how long . meaning..you can be better trained than someone who has trained twice as long as you have. if you train for an hr but dont break a sweat..vs ..1hr of intense training..the sensei dosnt care , its yourself that you're cheating

yea ..so train your ...
By: NONAG0N. on 22 Aug 08, 23:16:36
yea ..so train your ass off while you're young. Build muscle , stretch , train the katas day and night. And thoes younger faster ranks wont have anything on you.You dont have to spar in karate. you absolutly do not. That does not mean you cannot fight. foot sweeping 4th dans at yellow belt ? ..no offense intended, but what kind of yon-dans were they ? ..thats rediculous. ! remember when it comes to training. Duration( how long you train for), how Hard Frequency.(times per week/day)

By: IEKUKATAKA. on 24 Jul 08, 20:05:17
I find it amazing that people actually believe any real Karate can be full contact. Is anyone getting killed? No? Then it either is not karate or it is not full contact. Example: Kyokushin attacks to the chest and abdomin where large muscles are or kick to the head where is is very difficult to do. Real karate does make such wasted effort. Kicks to the head of a standing person are nonsense because its hard to do and have accuracy. Punches to muscles do little. Karate strikes vulnerable areas.

I would start now ...
By: IEKUKATAKA. on 24 Jul 08, 19:54:17
I would start now and make sure you have a teacher with a clear line to Okinawa Goju Ryu, preferably an Okinawan.

Dan grades should ...
By: guitarninja83. on 08 May 08, 17:33:34
Dan grades should be relative to your knowledge and performance of the system. Ability to actually beat everyone up, even non karateka should be disregarded. Getting a degree in science does not equate to actual output in the field. It is based primarily on how knowledgeable you are. One day when your an old 6th dan and all these young colored belts who are faster and stronger come walking in. Your health and wisdom are all you have. The difference bettwen a dan grade and non dan. Strong Mind

By: svaran. on 14 Apr 08, 00:37:55
I've done both - goju ryu is better technically in terms of kata and technique, but I'd still recommend Kyokushin as an excellent mode to learn fighting full contact as a means to augment your over-all karate skill. Being close minded isn't the way to go when doing martial arts. And I agree sensei is amazing one of my fellow intructors will be training with him when he visits NZ.

By: Catbane. on 14 Feb 08, 18:23:05
I have spent 12 years training before I accepted my ni dan black belt. go figure ..."better" is relative...I spar with 3, 4th dan and they didn't even last for 2 min. What you are wearing doesn't necessarily tells you how good you are...

I agree, Goju is a ...
By: nathanxr. on 18 Jan 08, 21:24:01
I agree, Goju is a comprehensive style. I like some of the videos on youtube of people who punch downward and lift their hand at the end - it's terrible form they just like the noise the sleeve of their gi makes when they do it.

By: davefarber. on 12 Dec 07, 19:55:23
I love how everybody always says that Kyokushin is the karate to go with. I will take deflection and joint locks and all that ANY DAY over their full frontal assault methods... Strength against strength isn't good... Too many variables that way. Sensei Chinen is amazing.

By: shisoshin0. on 05 Dec 07, 05:31:26
goju karate kata has joint locks, breaks, dislocations, including the neck, headbutts, eye attacks, knee attacks, groin attacks [etc] but kata is taught in a rational, progressive way.. Chinen Sensei is showing a teaching demo here fof goju students.. Chinen taught a seminar ]Aust] to our club and just manipulated and tossed around dan grades [all originally kyokushin] yet was so patient and kind.. one meaning of goju = hard body gentle mind.. Truely a modern Master..

Japanese band Manpuku playing live at the Clap Hands Okinawa music festival at Yoyogi Park in Tokyo. This band was cool because they were playing punk/ska music but the singer is playing a traditional Okinawan sanshin instrument instead of a guitar.
