I love this Master, one of my all time favorite old school Karatekas. For someone near 60 in this video, his conditioning is still top notch inhuman. In martial arts novels by Jin Yong, there was a villain master who was top of his game and he was known as the pointed skull monk. Must be coincidence huh? The facial bone structure and hair lines throughout the face gives it away, that said, run if you are up against a foe conditioned like that.
They are crane movements from the warm up punching drills (hojo undo) typical of all Uechi schools. The up down out and in movements can be seen demonstrated in kata konching.(seventh kata) the beak strike from kata san se ryu.(eigth kata) The wrist block/strike is first seen demonstrated in kata seichin the fourth kata studied. They are all practiced from day one as part of the warm ups drills. (hojo undo). They are fundamental Uechi elements.
Tensho warm up movements...yes that is what it is. Uechi class sesssions start with basic stuff that is what is being demonstrated, not kata. Oleg is right
I remember him with hair back in1990 at the Camp 90 in Hennesy NH it was summer and they broke a bat over his toe, I was a brown belt at the time with Mike S from Jamaica Plain dojo in Boston MA
Koi no Shippo uchi Tate uchi, es el nombre de la tecnica de hojoundo, y lo que realiza Shinjo Sensei son algunas de las aplicaciones de esta tecnica de uechi ryu kenyukai.
These are various hand blocks and strikes from varion uechi katas. Early in this video they are shown as warmup exercises, and then later shown using as practical applications. How this helps
Actually there are videos floating around of him snapping boards in half with just his finger tips, I think they were in one of the Fight Quest videos or one of those shows.
toda arte marcial é bonita. mas o que torna um lutador bom no que faz é o treino, e o que torna um artista marcial bom no que faz é a dedicação. pra quem não sabe, esse tipo de movimento de demonstração ataque/defesa, é tudo cronometrado, um sabe a hora exata que o outro vai socar, pra poder defender. na minha academia eu sempre atrasava um pouco os golpes o que "colava as placas" dos meus colegas kkkkk era mto engraçado
I've tried looking for what Maeba no Kamae is, and i can't find a vide or description anywhere. I'm genuinely interested if you have a description or vid i could see!
The biggest problem I see with people and looking at martial arts is something that all senseis should continue to dissuade there students from doing and that is. Mentally tying a specific technique to a specific type of attack. I know many feel katas and kumites to be unimportant and predictable, I myself feel they offer building blocks from which you can learn to attack and defend. Much like anything we learn in life, one must have a starting point from which to grow from.
If i search "maeba" in a find search in there, it does take me to something that lists "page 121" but there's no actual way to get to page 121, page 87 is as far as it will let me view?
I love Uechi ryu, truly. Especialy for their quest of efficience, reinforcement and Iron body. Much more real than many style. The great problem still I get with this style is it's guard, that the master show here. Because in theory it can't block fast punchs. I'm gonna explain why. You clearly see here that for blocking, the master needs two arms move : one for arming and one for blocking. But when you punch, your fist do just one move before punching, go straigth for the head. You need...
I am a nidan and study Uechi-Ryu, I am not sure what you are refering to in the circle block, but I am assuming its the guide block, it is not for aim, it is a quicker block, which for all intense purposes IS the block, while the circle is more for control. Of course this is my view on the guide block , circle block and is shared by many seniors in my school including 5th and 6th degree's. However from each move one must learn 10000 things, so many interpretations can be made.
Kiyohide Shinjo was beaten by Robert Campbell, another 9th Dan. Perhaps this is not considered since it was not a formal "tournament". It was many years ago when both were in their 20's.
"both were in their 20's" That's be relevant if both were like 30 now, but they hardly are. I mean I hardly consider this guy an exceptional top martial artist but your reasoning is strange.
Soy Eso "statement of act." It's not even that, you didn't provide evidence for the situation, you just made a statement that could be factual or could be fictional.
Not act, fact. I am not looking to convince anyone of anything. Believe what you like. It means nothing to anyone but who you take yourself to be.TheyCallMeZ-I-C-O
That's why I don't like the tensho backside wrist blocks for chu. A chu punch doesn't have to be off that much and you miss, as you can see. Still a good technique to practice,,,, never know. It's very good as a side strike let's say to a nose and or upper lip, jaw, cheek bone, side of neck.
books(.)google(.)fr/books?id=EMlXzpB4IpcC&printsec=frontcover&dq=oyama+advanced+karate&hl=fr&sa=X&ei=qSzXUIHjH5G20QWqgYGYBQ&ved=0CDQQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=maeba&f=false You can find maeba at page 121. But in fact, nowaday the guard used as Maeba is fairly different because you don't stretch your arm all way, you keep them nearer of your head. It's a battle worthy evolution of the traditionnal stance.
I don't know, on my computer it works perfectly... I use the search bar in the bottom left, typed Maeba then cliked on "page 121" and here i go... Can't help you on that...
@6skarn: "karateka le + puissant du monde asiatique"...assertion qui n'a vraiment aucun sens, qui en a décidé et sur quel critère?...mais bref dans tous les cas style très intéressant et incontestablement un grand maitre
The only advice I can give you is to try to go to a MMA or kickboxing like class and try a free class. Usually, they are nice and that's a great experience. I personnaly prefer MMA class because they don't train with boxing gloves but more tiny gloves, it suits more the reallity. There, you'll be able to put on the test the traditionnal technique into some intense but sparring fight. For me it was a revelation on which traditionnal technique works or not. And I've learned that many techniques..
that my teacher was telling that worked, and actually worked on a karate like sparring, were in fact little usefull against an opposant with a different form and a more realistic form. Especially for the two moves block, that litteraly don't work because your opponent do just one move to hit you. Then I choose to train on Karate contact, a style created by Dominique Valera for the purpose of full contact competition, but is in fact a style adapting traditonnal techniques to real fights.
What you dont know is that with his iron limbs he can hurt the attacker with the blocking itself. And with the level of pain comes the surprise and shock next thing they know is they are punched in the face and biting the dust.
Having a class this big is just silly. He has no time or even ability to help and correct every one. Yet all of them are paying. This is just to be able to say "I trained with him".
It is not useless. With the class you can see his movements up close and see that it is possible to achieve that kevel. One can compare his her level and strengthen his her resolve to train and get to see the level where one needs to be.
@@SlamjackMonicker Achieve a level where the top dogs are sloppy? Is that the level one should reach? And how the fuck do you see the top dogs technique from the back of the room? Were their tickets cheaper?
... one move when the blocker need two moves to block you. Then you're going be outmatched in a furious and fast sequences of punches. I find this too bad. Maybe develloping a guard near the one called Maeba no Kamae could create a battle worthy traditionnal guard ? I would truly like to ask those question to that master that is some I respect so much for being the okinawan superman.
You need to be special need person to think that he will fight the way he is traching novices. This is training for one move and doesnt necessarily mean it has to be done in exact way. Its like saying a boxer practising on speedball is practising a useless technique. Get some brains.
