I am honored, blessed and proud to be able to study Goju-Ryu with my childhood friend, Hanshi Luis Morales. Words cannot fully describe his dedication and in-depth knowledge of history, martial science and life preservation technique as taught to him by Hokama sensei. I would compare the level of studying and training under him, to the likes of attending Harvard University or M.I.T. I am currently a 4th dan and after a 20yr hiatus from training and a near death diabetes episode. I am on the road to full recovery in just one year without medication under his guildence. If you wish to experience this level study and teaching? Our school Budo Quest, is located at 7 Elm St. North Arlington NJ. 07031. Till we meet! Onagashimasu!
Мастерство демонстрируют в бою, а не на не сопротивляющемся противнике. Неужели этого никто не понимает? По технике этого мастера видно, что он никогда ни с кем не дрался.
ни с кем не дрался, но как-то с Басыниным, КМС, в боевых ботаниках спаринг провести смог. Прям чудо какое-то. Думаю, что случайность, и надо больше тебе полежать на диване, тогда лучше определять будешь на глаз, кто дрался, а кто нет.
Мастер это тот человек, который демонстрирует свое мастерство в поединках. Если человек не демонстрирует свое мастерство в поединках, то значит это не мастер. Техника этого " мастера" не рабочая.
You completely miss the point of Traditional Karate. None of them want to fight. You're not taught to fight, but to better yourself. In MMA etc, you take the fight to the other person. You are taught to fight and to win. A complete polar opposite of Traditional Karate.
@@satch7123 Even more reason to drop that kind of training. Its a good thing they are taught not to fight because they wont be able to defend themselves with that stuff. If you want to better your self seek the bible.
And it's the philosophy and spirit that Sensei Nakamura refers to that separates 'real' karate from the mindless aggression and increasing lack of respect that seems to be spreading in certain western countries
I began my endless martial arts journey with Goju Ryu Karate-do in the late 80s. Continued the path with Shito Ryu to experience the interactions between Naha-te and Shuri-te through studying and practicing the Kata. Experienced the fierce yet fluid and profound principles of Goju in Kyokushin Karate and Muay Thai until recently when I returned to Goju Ryu and all I can say is that this is the ultimate way of the warrior; the purest form of Budo.
Those finger strikes(include extended knuckles) are real secret of karate of which one could defeat a bigger opponent in a real street fight. An ordinary man like me could not knock-out one who bigger with the usual close fist but a finger strike or extended knuckles to the face(that may even hit the eyes), throat, side of neck or breast could stun or seriously injure an opponent. I call the finger strike "weaponized" empty hand; and the extended knuckles (resembling metal knuckles) "weaponized" fist.
The problem, if you are not a master or have totally conditioned hands is to break a finger. Is very easy to break the thumb keeping the open hand when training with a partner; even worst in a fight.
Morio has tried to rewrite Okinawan karate history by writing in his books that Toguchi Seikichi was NOT Miyagi Chojun's senior student nor a student of his at all. All documents say otherwise. Morio does a disservice to karate. Even his teacher Miyazaki Eiichi has said so about Morio.
As the Okinawan or the Japanese says, Karate is a lifestyle. For sensei Fujimoto, karate is already his life---his bread and butter. May be he sleep dreaming karate and wake up to do karate. His time is devoted in studying, developing, perfecting and teaching his art of Karate. No wonder he can do those breaking bottle necks, and concrete blocks; much more his use of the spear hand to tweak-through an apple. In a fight, it is dangerous to be hit by his chop, spear hand, fist and kicks. If his trikes can break an inanimate hard object how much more to a human being that is not even as hard as a wooden board.
