Minoru Higa's practice #1 | PUNCH | 比嘉稔先生 | 小林流究道館｜初心者向け沖縄伝統空手 

Sensei ,conducts himself as a true gentlemen. Very refreshing to see someone with great power and knowledge be so patient and humble.

You guys are doing a great work documenting these Senseis and encapsulating their experiences and knowledge!

Much respect to sensei. I *love* strong, perfect, basic form. Sensei's punch would clearly put your solar-plexus through your spine (: I wish I had a nickel for every time I've seen an improper punch left uncorrected by unfocused or questionably-qualified "masters".

I love this chanel. As a Kyokushin practitioner myself I like to watch videos like this, but most of them are without any subtitles, so for non-japanese speakers they don't carry as much information as when You can read what philosophy is behind all this training. Keep it up!

i am just mesmerised by how easy he utilises the energy produced by changing position of hips from hanmi to shomen... looks so natural :O shoto kid here to check out okinawan karate and noticed straight away that we both have this in common and this guy is a pro at it lol

These masters are living history books. So great to be able to see and hear them firsthand while they are still alive to share their knowledge. Great video - thank you for taking the time to make it! 👍

I am practicing Shotokan-Karate. The root of Shotokan consists in Okinawa. From this root I can learn much. Wonderful! Also, unrreachable!

I just wanna train!!! I love how sensei's energy is so "visible" moving from the toes up through the hips. Beautiful

punching is the best way to defend and fight while you are rooted to the ground while moving making you stable so that you will not stumble and can fight effectively. The kick will reinforce the punching. I simplify my training: straight punch and cross, upper cut and hook. Kicking is limited to front kick(bladder area), round house(lower side of the body) , side kick(lower abdomen) and turning kick(lower abdomen), knee strike( the start of front kick) and elbow strike, finger strike(spear hand), extended knuckle and chop.

Ive been training Korean Tang soo do Moo duk kwan Karate for 47 years..So many similarities between both arts..Absolutely Beautiful The utmost Respect to the Masters and Grandmasters...

It's such a pleasure to be able to learn from a grand master the essence of even a simple technique such as a punch .

Respect from Indonesia. 🙏🙏🙏

I'd love to train with a master of this level!

5:46 you hear that? That's the sound of a five finger death punch.

What worries me is the snap his gi makes when he punches. On a very lucky day maybe you could outrun him.

Powerful and Knowledgeable but humble. Truly a respectable Grand Master ...

That was great instruction🙏

"Once you made contact with the enemy, you won't gain any distance in a real fight". I think this a very wise thought. Many styles their techniques and style revolves around having the space or luxury of distance.

when I was young in my first dojo, we have a makiwara close to the wall of the building, if we punched perfectly well, the wood hit the wall and the sound was incredibly strong ! if we used a muscular strengh it did not work ... only when we were concentrate on the "koshi" (the hip) power... magical trick ? we have to stopped because the people who lived upstairs in that buiding have complained ^-^

Came for the Yakisoba and stayed for the Karate. Awesome video.

Omg!! Feels like I'm back 20years ago! Awesome 👍

Thanks for uploading.

Very good! Thank you very much!

I learned a thing. Great basics! OSS!

I am very greatful thank you for sharing

Osu! Love this, so good to watch, great video🥋

That is the most truth I have heard on karate technique vs principles in a very long time. It reminds me of trying to imitate the deep stances of shorter people which led to the detriment of my own mobility.

Bellissimo video!

I remember when the shorin fist was made with the index finger extended and the thumb locked over it. this helped make the first two knuckles protrude on impact of the strike. the fist in chamber would rotate upright fluid and fast tensing at the moment of impact. Delivering a fast and devastating blow

Thanks a lot,Sir

I would hope the reporter came back for instruction! Thanks for the video.

I liked it. Need more info from Okinawa masters.

Cool work

究道館のお姉さん達の演武、ホント凄い迫力。先生も大事だが、女性も管理職の時代だしCMには。

It's all basic physics. Collision of rigid objects creates more force. Hence you just want to make sure to have a lot of moving mass hitting the target on a small surface in a rigid form.

Respect Master 🙏

Thank you

Excellent..OSH!.so many ways you can deliver a punch depends on the angle!! the simultaneous synchronicity of hip, shoulder and distance..OSH!

Thanks ! Sensei 🙏 .

Great!

compliments is very interesting

Gostei do senhor miyagi!like 👍

I would love to be a student in that dojo.

一つ一つの動作の意味をきちんと理解して、説明できる先生は多くないです。

This is good and interesting info. Have trained wing chun several years and I see the similarities in these different systems. Both start relaxed, your body turn and punch starts with the feet, legs, hips, torso, and explodes at the end with a snap. The karate punch has more axis rotation but the wing chun punch has lower wrist snap. Both use a close range punch once the distance is closed, both have a “5 or 6 inch punch.” He has great power generation and posture, throws the punch out and also contracts his fist hard through impact, accelerating the whole time. I think he strikes at a downward angle as well, this hurts more because the opponent is forced towards the ground instead of back. He also is able to move freely and relax before the other body strikes he demonstrated. Good stuff.

excellent . .

Back to very basics 😁

Sugoi!!!

Großartig erklärt. Osu. Germany.

Authentic Old School Training

Autêntico Mestre.

GREAT VID OSS

Nice info

I love japan

I'm student of one of those shorin ryu.......this video is legit

Greetings from Poland

Onegai shimasu ,Hanshi Minoru Higa !!

1:17 if it has nothing to do with Shaolin Temple why this last style is named 少林寺流? 少林寺 SHOURIN-JI (SHAOLINZI) Shaolin Temple 流 - RYUU style. Also there is the infamous school of master "DOSSHIN", said to have been a Japanese spy in China during World War II, that is called 少林寺拳法 SHOURIN-JI KENPOU. Kenpô was one old name for any fighting art in Okinawa, the art of the fist. It is just the Japanese pronunciation of the Chinese CHUANFA written the same 拳法. Usually in China it's abbreviated as only CHUAN like in SHAOLIN CHUAN, TAICHI CHUAN, BAI HE CHUAN.

Nice

long live masters

Sugoi ！

Very similar to Shaolin-style Kempo. Either way, I wouldn't want to be at the business end of his first two knuckles.

I wish I'd started watching a lot sooner.

Perfeito.

Great...Grand Master OSU from Italy

This old gentleman knows a thing or two.

At the 1:13 mark the first one on the lists says "Sukinai-hayashi," I know that Kanji as "Shobayashi."

That looks hard

add!!! and 👍 thank you frome Ukraine!

Yes it was great but I want to learn how to tasuki above chin area

I was trained in this style.

This Tsuki-punch appears to be a notable upgrade of the Tsucker-punch

traidtional karate is brutal, and i like it :^)

It is fun to see the reporter scaried or perhaps impressed. Just like these days ordinary japanese avoided the mere smell of violence by any sort. Sad. Even this "violence" being part of the roots of their very people.

I practice this style in Argentina!!!!

あなたが平和を探しているなら、あなたはそれを見つけることは決してないでしょう、あなたがそれを探していないときにあなたに平和が来ます。(ジガル教授

Love the video but had to snicker and music in the background in the opening scene. it sounded like someone should be cooking Barbecue and having a cold one

Besides the good hand conditioning, I'd be curious to see his power with a correct footwork that allows the correct power chain foot hip shoulder fist.

すげー。素足だったら巻藁、折るんでしょうね。ヤバい。ゆっくり打ってるんですよね。空手の先生は誰でも。すげー。

Nice discussion... although, there were some wrong grammars and spellings in the captioned english translation.

I study and have practice Goju- Ryu Karate my entire life since about 12 yrs of age! Okinawan Karate is a very Hard and Disciplined system!! This system was developed by the Okinawan people before their over throwing the Japanese power for Independence!! 🤔👍

Real karate is not a game or competition . It is deadly and should for most people never use besides practice

😊

DOPPO OROCHI!!!

The reason they turn their punches is it is more likely to break ribs, and hit vitals with punches.

Like do TROVÃO TREZE. ok brother. Tmj. OSS

私は25年間、石竜空手の白帯でした。

real stobehand

it's an art, and carries a lot of heritage and tradition. But if you're talking about self defense against attackers, go with a 9mm automatic like a H&K VP9, one of the most reliable and accurate guns out there. 15 hollow point rounds going downrange will stop an attacker better than even one of Mr. Kiga's punches :P

What soundtrack on opening?

Naihachi in Kanji is 羅漢拳

How to punch above chin area

Pretty sure Naha-te was first Chojun Miyagi and Kanryo Higoanna got my back on this

I may be years too late to catch up. Is it still possible to train at 36?

When he is hitting, his fist has a diagonal orientation to the makiwara. Why is that?

какя хорошая макивара

Charlie horse !

私は、このようなコーチはワインであるので、このトレーナーの召使いを行うことを喜んでいます
