This is a nice selection of cool movements. Do you show more stuff like this in any of the downloads I can purchase from your website? Thank you Sensei.
Yes, most of this type of content with more in depth explanation are contained in our downloadable videos. Is there a particular topic or kata you are interested in?
That is the main focus of our kata analysis videos, our workshop videos, and our seminar videos. We have specific videos that teach the concepts and drills to control the close range environment (such as kakie and connector drills - we taught an online workshop on this last weekend: gkcglobalshop.com/products/kakie-connector-drills-a-systematic-approach?_pos=3&_sid=2aee56153&_ss=r ). Then the kata analysis videos use these concepts when demonstrating the techniques of a particular kata. Does that help?
Headlocks pre date bjj (which itself is a derivative of Japanese jujutsu). While headlock escapes are a part of kata they have historically been poorly taught in mainstream karate. Because of this I have made it my business to learn more effective strategies for dealing with them.
@@GKCgoju Apologies if I'm off-base; but if I'm not mistaken, karate's original grappling techniques were connected to Okinawa's folk wrestling traditions (tegumi/muto,) and their emphasis was heavily reduced following introduction to mainland Japan, right? It's my understanding that a lot of cultures' striking arts originally overlapped with their grappling traditions, and striking being taught divorced from grappling tended to be more of a post-industrial thing. But I'm not an expert, and I could very well be wrong.
