98 percent of the time the opponent is not outside of your self. Karate was never meant to be a sport. The MMA is marketed as realistic but I believe it is really not at all. If it was realistic then every fighter would attempt to blind the opponent or crush his throat in the first exchange.
In a real fight, people don’t attack like that with a straight punch. It’s more of a looping punch. How do you deal with that? And the attacker isn’t going to just throw one punch and wait around. They usually throw a punch and then you are in a clinch situation.
Relax... these are specific training methods that may apply to fight situations. For example, do boxers throw punches like they work the speed bag- or is that a practice to enhance timing and cadence of punches in a match?
@@brianborrello307 I used to train in SKA and they never do anything other than defend against straight in punches and usually not more than three step in punches at a time. Also, the matches are controlled and are stopped over and over again when real fights most can keep going. Plus, it is not taught what to do if you are on the ground. SKA could not compete with BJJ, Judo, wrestling and also defend against boxers as with their hands low and their chins not tucked in, they are vulnerable to head punches
@@brianborrello307 One more thing, since MMA came along more and more street fighters will rush in and try to slam you on the ground, but SKA doesn't prepare you how to handle that. SKA does have value though as the special trainings help people push themselves when all they want to do is quit and the teaching about distance from opponents is something unique to SKA. Plus, I have never seen any other karate style practice their kata at your own speed where you have to be aware of everyone else around you. Every other style does kata at the same speed like a group dance.
@@user-hh1qn7iy6t Not sure how long you practiced and to what level, however I can assure you that the fighting opportunities in SKA's jiyu ippon kumite, long distance jiyu kumite, and iai engagements would challenge any fighter; and the strong mentality development fostered in Ohshima Shotokan's training is superb. Agreed, the training emphasizes striking, and not on ground fighting -although in torite and nagewaza throws are practiced. Funakoshi apparently limited the throws in Shotokan because of the popularity of judo in Japan under Kanō Jigorō, and many/most young people at the time practiced some judo as well (including Ohshima).

@@deyanzd Ok, those guys in that video put enough power into their punches and kicks to take anyone out with 1 shot, remember the Dragon, Machida in MMA? How he could land either a punch by moving in fast or that front kick that knocked his opponent out? Both good Shotokan techniques now proven beyond doubt. I could hide behind empty works like useless too, but these techniques work better than you think and we use control, so we dont damage our opponents and they live to fight in another 5 minutes. Just because its not fashionable does not mean it does not work, Machida proved that Shotokan works real well.
I was there ! The last fight is with Guy Udriot my swiss sensei. It was the time when SSK was not weak. You can see his relaxed shoulders for a total disponible power. It absolutely rocks !🤩🤩🤩
That man with Ono was your sensei? He looks very powerfull ! You are lucky! Never saw him in the videos of Ohshima Shotokan we found in RU-vid. I would be like to see more of him if you have some links. Always a good thing to see how different schools of Shotokan practice, to see what is different and what is the same. Your sensei looks to have a high level!
Ok, i stopped watching at about 45 min, and explain why. You should make first an introduction of this video to tell people when this lecture was, and who was Daniel Chemla, and which « shotokan » we speak here. Chemla was a great karateka, he was at the origin of France Shotokan, and probably among the first students of karate in France. He did a great job. He was in his working life a scientist (physicist). What he WAS NOT was an HISTORIAN! You should tell that what he was speaking was what people thought they knew on the history of karate at that time, but not that we know today! You can t speak on the beginning of karate without knowing what the Ryu kyu really were at that time, what was the politics and social organisation there at that time, the real interaction between Okinawa, China, Japan. You can not speak nowadays of origins of karate without speaking of shuri te, naha te, tomari te. You can not speak of that without speaking of matsumura soken, and what did Itosu Anko. You have to speak of the Mejii area, and what it changed in Okinawa. There is a lot of things said in the first part of the talk that we know now that was incorrect, or even myth. The second part of the talk about the spread of karate in japan as a lot of approximation too. And after that, he speaks about the beginning of Shotokan school of Ohshima, but this is not ALL Shotokan. So here, you make confusion for people who is whatchig this talk today on RU-vid. Don t missunderstand me : it is not a bad comment on Daniel Chemla, who was a great karateka. It is a comment that when you put à video on RU-vid who speaks from History, many people will Watch it, and will think after this is the truth, which here it is not. This is why before posting it, you should make an introduction to warn people in witch context this talk was done, and the infirmation given in that time is not the informations we have today. Best regards , and sorry for my English which i need to train more.
Hi, I am a karate practitioner from France Shotokan, Paris dojo, originated by Daniel Chemla. I started long after he left for the US. It s great pleasure and so interesting to vision his lecture. Many thanks 🙏
