What's your most disturbing Karate myth? 🥋

@syedprincess7340 3 года назад

"black is the ultimate belt" and "karate is difficult" was the most disturbing karate myth for me.

Karate myths from the 80s:: When you get a blackbelt you have to get your hands registered with the police A blackbelt can hit you in between blinks and you can't defend against it A blackbelt can sense someone sneaking up behind them A blackbelt can take any hit in the stomach and it doesn't affect them

Well. In my country as Karate was not an sport (or wasn't until something related to not being olympic sport), it was regulated by the same entity that regulate guns, security and that. And so, being a plainly white belt 9.999 kyu... I got my official register when I was a rookie in my University 🤷‍♀️... and I can assure you, *it was not needed AT ALL*

Response to karate not being developed from kung fu: It’s funny, when you start to research a specific martial art’s history, you realize that almost no style was developed purely by itself. Everybody was tested and/or influenced by another style. It’s almost like there’s no “pure” martial art, only varying degrees of a “mixed martial art”

There's no "pure" anything except maybe some culture of completely isolated tribes in Amazonia and similar. It's a disturbing myth that before the internet culture didn't mix. Maybe they didn't as much as today but they did a lot. I think a hamburger might be a good example of that - it came to US from German settlers who took it from Russians who took it from Mongols with every nation adding or removing something.

One of the reasons I don't train as much is because here in the U.S. we seem to have a lot of dojos that worry way to much about self-defense and this idea that there is always "someone" just waiting to attack you. ANd just fyi, this someone is usually a minority. Its something that I didn't pick up on as a kid but definitely noticed as I hit my 30s and 40s. There is a certain subset of Dojo's that are indeed almost cult like.

@a-blivvy-yus 3 года назад

On the topic of "goal oriented" vs. "process oriented" - I actually learned an odd mashup of both ideals while studying karate. The goal isn't *JUST* an ending - it's the start of the next journey. We were taught to focus on a goal, but *NOT* to fixate on an "ultimate" goal. As a white belt, it was repeatedly reinforced that my goal was not black belt - it was *YELLOW* belt. Each level was a goal in its own right, and behind that goal was the next one. And that went for black belt as well, which had 10 levels beyond the belt itself. I've carried that ideal into everything in life, and it helps.

@Pifagorass Год назад

Interestingly back in Lithuania we learned katas of much higher belts but focused on next one before gradings. The gradings treated as Cool thing to do, but we focused on continued physical improvement and gradual demo perfection, and fun. Seems like the Fudokan Shool led by Gintaras Svenchonis was more process oriented than goal in the center of European geography.

@a-blivvy-yus Год назад

@MtnBadger Год назад

My Shotokan instructor, in the 70s, grew up in the martial arts academy on Okinawa. His master learned from Funakoshi, himself. He was about 9 when he got his black belt. A black belt simply means that you've mastered the basics, not that you've reached the end, it means you're now ready to learn. I ended up in a Norris Tang Soo Do school and they had the same philosophy, it's all the "Tāk Mi Do" (take my dough) studios that convince you black at the end of the 14 colour rainbow is the ultimate goal, that's how they keep you cominback and spending money. A friend mine spent enough to "earn" her black belt, when I heard this I just congratulated her as she was happy and had a sense of accomplishment but, she was anything but a black belt, she could just do her kata pretty well and got through the motions. I also studied in a Parker controlled kenpo studio during that time period... It's hard to find a truly old school, hard discipline, fighting school like those today, every other corner has a McDojo on it.

Sense is often withhold things. My instructor taught me some things that he asked I never teach to anyone else. That made me wonder what he might be keeping from me. But I also found over time that martial arts is really about self discovery. As you progress and study at the deeper levels you really end up teaching yourself, because you end up discovering the deeper meanings in your own. That was the lesson I went away with.

@crippl3dhobnob Год назад

When I trained Aikido others expected me to be able to fling people like gloves, however what I found was that consistently trying to perfect my moves and form helped me get out of my own head. I found a calm that has helped me in many situations throughout life, I was really angry before and being able to focus on something else than injustice gave me peace. Sure I learned a lot of moves and such but the thing that helped me most was realising ending a fight with punches is easy, being able to defuse a situation using words is an art. I didn't help me become someone better, rather drew out the better of me. To this day I've never had to resort to violence, sometimes just walking away helped and no one got hurt. You are so true in your words saying consistency is important, keep practicing because when I most needed my training to kick in it had been many years and I got punched because I had no reflexes or recent training.

I learned about Tegumi recently. It actually confirms what I believed about the katana, that it was designed with the idea to take on highly skilled unarmed combatants. Fighters that can grab and disarm. The katana's thin blade makes it hard to track. The small size of the tsubo makes gripping it very difficult. The lack of a pummel provides one less leverage point. The silk garment of the samurai provides a slippery grabbing surface with enough slack to ensure a lethal strike. All of these help with grapplers rather than strikers. To those who speak of range, this could involve one katana weirder against 2-5 assailants. I really want to do a video for this but I would need a partner.

@Keithphotorama 3 года назад

Excellent video. My number one issue is memory, remembering all the moves in Kata, or remembering all the self-defense tactics. All this remembering is easier for instructors than it is for students simply because instructors are there all the time with many many students while the student is there for limited time.

@academicdeaneducation6671 Год назад

That's what practice is for. If you're expecting mastery after your lesson, you're asking to be disappointed. As is the case with practicing your golf swing or hitting a baseball or consistent free throw shooting or running the two minute drill or angling to your opponent's side while throwing a hook to the body, proficiency requires repetition - practice. If you do your KATA 10 times each day for 5 straight days, you will memorize it.

I found that my so called friends would say things behind my back on account I practiced Karate. It was something odd to them and perhaps inwardly made themselves feel inferior. I’m not sure but whatever. I like karate and have had several instances where it had to be applied. THANKYOU Jesse for your stupendous show. I love it.

@tyronechillifoot5573 3 года назад

My favorite myth so common from martial arts is the mystical or special origins rather than just people fighting for fun or to get in shape or for status

@KARATEbyJesse 3 года назад

Haha yes!! Like the saying goes: ”Never let the truth ruin a good story” 🤣

@clFer777 3 года назад

The mystical thing came, I guess, when people who fought for self defense or as an armed faction of some rich people went for a change and.. they gone into Budhism and monasteries. Budhism was heavily sincretized on rituals and esoterical beliefs. So.. obviously they could move them self just because of the mind and fly and throw *Kame* *Hame* *Haaaaaaa* _Sorry for the last bit_

@MrCageCat 3 года назад

Myth #7 is my biggest gripe with the original Karate Kid movie: Mr. Miyagi basically teaches Daniel traditional Okinawan karate, while he actually needed to learn more modern, sports based karate for the tournament. I still love the film though.

@davidbarnwell_virtual_clas6729 3 года назад

Miyagi San was teaching Mr Russo self defense, traditional karate, because he was being bullied. The tournament came later. Also, that kinda mirrors what happens in many martial arts schools. They teach you traditional, self defense skills, out of context (many times they don't know the proper context) and the stuff you need for sport sparring you have to figure out for yourself. That IS a problem, in my opinion.

@@davidbarnwell_virtual_clas6729 I don't agree with this comment. You don't "figure it out by yourself". A lot of karate/martial arts schools will MAINLY focus on the sport aspect of the style, while doing SOME traditional stuff.
