Thanks for watching! We should’ve clarified at the beginning of the video... the guy constantly being picked on by sensei is Youngmin, the co-founder of this channel. I asked my sensei that he go especially hard on me to show you guys what traditional conditioning is all about! No worries, we don’t do this on every occasion!

hardening your Body?

@elindioedwards7041 2 месяца назад

Incredible. I have never witnessed conditioning of the toes or fingers like that. Impressive.

@Grandroborox 2 месяца назад

As dangerous as those hardened digits are, it kinda looks like they become too deformed to be useful in other applications. I guess this guy might not be the one to knit his own sweaters but imagine needing fine motor skills and sensitivity, you've beaten them out of your hands, or so I imagine.

@James-wd9ib Месяц назад

@@Grandroborox Karate impact conditioning is much more dangerous than Kung Fu conditioning because the "progression" is too abrupt. In Karate, you start hammering the makiwara and all kinds of shit right away, this is why you have so many arthritic karateka. In Iron palm kung fu, you start thrusting spearhand into beans, then sand, then river stones, then metal ball bearings. Same with body conditioning, you start getting hit with a bundle of chopsticks, then a bundle of light metal sticks ("iron brush"), then a light piece of wood, then heavy wood.

@rodericksibelius8472 2 месяца назад

THIS TYPE OF TRAINING REALLY DEVELOPS the Warrior Mentality and the training being Hit conditions the body so that when there is a REAL LIFE FIGHT SITUATION the Body can take a hit.

@jeffreymoore4132 Месяц назад

I lived in Okinawa while in HS, and this brings back some memories. I was about the same age of the young man that got pounded on and everything was so similar. Even the wood was the same size. I wish my boys could experience this. This training changes your perspective on what is effort, focus, and what you can accomplish when you maximally apply those two things. Thank you for sharing this.

@SeitoJack Месяц назад

Well said. There are quite a few Uechi-Ryu schools around the world and some of them founded by Master Shinjo's students. You just need to locate one near you... and then convince your boys to accept this type of training, which might be a lot harder to do than finding a good dojo 😉

I don't comment on videos often but I have to on this video. I really, really, reeeaaally enjoyed this one and it's probably my most favourite on this channel! (I've been rewatching it over and over for some reason, even showed it to my grandma) I don't want to make this comment too long, but I really appreciate your guy's videos and I really miss Japan espacially Okinawa and as someone who's been doing Karate since a very young age, I love these kinds of videos. They somehow give me this "I'm at home" feeling if that makes sense! Last thing, when I visited Okinawa last month I got to meet Hokama Tetsuhiro-Sensei kinda randomly and he's such an interesting person, I'd love to see a lot more videos about different people's karate background and or about people there in general, as the first interview you guys have on the channel really moved me aswell! がんばれ！

In America I try to train people the old way. but they don't understand. I loved this video. This was similar yet different, but close to how I was trained by my uncle. It hurt real bad, It was extremely hard, but it was real, and the skill you developed from this old school training was very high level. I'd like to point out the spiritual power in this video. It's in the breathing, the "San Shin Kata" (Three Kingdoms Kata) where one develops breathing control and learns to harness Ki or Chi, or bioelectrical energy. In Shaolin Kung Fu the bone hardening exercises here would be called "Iron Sheet", very painful training, but what it produces is an iron will with the strength to endure the greatest of physical pain, and still keep fighting like nothing happened. I loved this video, Gambate!

@marcelorp 2 месяца назад

I'm struggling to find old way schools here in Brazil. People don't give a sh*t about history fully of culture behind this, they just want to see Karate more as a kind of exercise/sport to relax at end of day. My dream is to be able to train Karate in a way such that one showed in the video. It is the only way I see to not only develop our body to the limits but our souls too.

@user-ln2cy8ge2c 2 месяца назад

I come from a boxing background that was intense and rigid. I am trying to expand my training but these gyms i find to be way to soft. We need more old school teachings out here build real warriors.

Got suggested this video when I was looking up instructional videos for Judo (cause I recently started that). WHatever reason the algorithm had for suggesting this to me I am glad that it did because this video does a fantastic job of introducing someone like me to Uechi-Ryu. I think Japanese martial arts in general have so much more history and depth to them that no other martial art can compare.

@quickstep2408 2 месяца назад

Shinjo used to compete in sport competition when he was younger so he's studied his karate for sport and traditional, which is why his dojo practices more sport and sparring than other traditional okinawan dojos. some hardcore traditionalists might not like that, but i think it could still foster a greater perspective to their martial arts. though you should always discern between fighting and self-defense, sport and traditional aspects.

It's a form of body skin conditioning, since the makiwara is only good for the hands and feet. So to develop that iron shirt, you need to slap your body. It's kind of a primitive approach, I would rather do rolls and break falls on sand at the beach!
