Worlds Karate Legend MORIO HIGAONNA Goju-ryu Master 10th Dan (pt.3) 

r.i.p.

+Joshua Brown Now that's what I call a firm handshake.

Nyahaha... :))

Joshua Brown I've trained with higoana sesei

Sorry your friend died

Gafh b I kh to be in for f do something e see ozlwlashdjaajxfjjjwj ok 🐷🐆🐆🐯🐯🐯🎧📱🎧📯🔕🔉🎸🔕🔈🔇🔔🔔📢📣📣📣📣📣📣📣

Greetings friend... Glad to see you can difference the westernized sport oriented martial arts from the original ones... I only disagree with one point in your comment: "Muay Thai because I believe it to be the most effective in stand up combat"... I've been involved with different martial arts for years now, and I'm safe to say that the effectiveness of a martial art isn't on the style, rather on the practitioner... it really comes down to how you practice it, how serious and committed you are, and how mutch fun you have doing it... efficiency comes from practice and a little bit of talent. I find that there are no lesser martial arts... oh, I did Taekwondo for 6 years and I've been doing Aikido for 7 now. Cheer friend, and keep having fun ;)

greetings my friend id like you to check out kyokushin karate

carbon5146 I started out in Kyokushin. Great martial art as well.

Rui Almeida I agree with you. Just like the moter vehicle it is not about the car, it is more about the driver. God bless!

James Kim Cheers mate

The single biggest threat is not living life to its fullest and a fear of death.

Lol no gun is stronger than his knuckles

Thank you for the respectful and rational post. It's appreciated

majin2912 Amen!

+janusmagus well said mate!

say that to Bruce Lee haters, you can't tell UFC fanboys nothing as far as they are concerned this guy can't fight, unless he's in actual hand to hand combat

+Q savage MMA is sports too. The FBs are brainless and cannot get it.

+I am Always Right You are always right.

I am Always Right don’t listen to these keyboard warriors. It’s a very effective art if trained correctly

At the time of this video, he was 73

+Die that's the 1st think I've noticed them hands have been hitting thinks and micro-broke a million times becoming stronger every time, but to get to that size its impressive.

Wouldnt be surprised if he races them for his training (maybe in his more youthful days)

Notice how it’s only one the two knuckles that’s because when you do knuckle pushups those are the only two knuckles you use

admiral ackbar

+SuperSaiyaman3 I thought it was just me. I saw his knuckles and said DAMN! I would hate to get hit by him! Get hit with a seiken and it's over!

+tforeignguy l By that logic it should mean that every hard training karate practitioner has warts on his/her knuckles, or you are simply trolling and I fell for it.

calloused hands from hard work and calloused knuckles from punching things lol

+tforeignguy l lol they're callous. You get it by punching things, letting it heal, then doing it again, over and over. It's how they can break bats and stuff with their shins, and punch through things.

+SuperSaiyaman3 Yeah, that's from years of punching a makiwara - old school okinawan punching bag, except it's a 2x4 made of hardwood.

Brave, stupid or into suicide? Lol

+staslig It looks like these guys have demolished buildings with their hands. And they probably have.

+Saulo Silva close to it, part of traditional karate training requires punching a makiwara. Basically a standing board that is held into the ground some how and traditionally is wrapped with a thick abrassive heavy rope.

+staslig Or they are complete idiots... :D

***** what is your point? I wouldn't fight any of the Gracies either.

+McDago100 In isshinryu we were always taught that the block is to be considered an attack, because even when you block an attack you are still being hit and can eventually be worn down with consecutive strikes, so the block is meant to injure the attacker as much as a kick or punch and thus punishes the attacker and damages them and discourages them from attacking.

+Arctic Gator As an Isshinryu practicioner myself (an Aussie taught by Master A. J. Advincula). I could not agree more. Excellent comment okay.

Assuming he can catch you in the first place

Aikido is shit

He can still fight. The man is a little eldar but hes still as tough as he was 20 or so years ago (his Hojo undo or power training is the reason). He also has powerful mastered technqiue both in kata and in "Waza" (the type you'd use in a street fight) making him a lethal enemy to deal with.

well said

seeknowmartialarts dont bother with these KEYBOARD WARRIORS, they dont even know what theyre talking about. they dare said things like this because theyre COWARDS..when they meet this guy in person,i bet they pee in their pants and talk nicely things about these masters.

quang anh nguyen tien Those are clubs. Damn.

lol, you wouldn't like my hands either..

+Polpot Lee I agree since most people have no idea that a martial art of this type can easily kill or disable with 1 or 2 blows at the most. It is very likely that such a fight would be over in seconds. Master Higaonna is obviously in fantastic shape and can take a blow as well if he needs to.

+Polpot Lee they can think, however they cannot act.

+Bruno Jin OUS.

Nope. this kinda guy never went into the ring because rings are made to make fights interesting. Guys like Morio-sensei will go for a one hit kill (and i mean KILL, not knockout), which is not very entertaining. The real Kimbo Slice would know.

Did you even see his fists? Have you ever met him? Do you know the story of his life? Have you sparred with him? I've done all of the above, so i know just how dangerous Morio-sensei is. Problem is, you are the one living in a fantasy world. This apprentice of Mr. Kimbo, did he fight Morio-sensei? I bet he wasn't. In the end, i've fought Morio-sensei, you haven't. Your argument will be invalid until you fight him at least once.

Ha ha gold ...and im sure your right ... i mean look at the guys knuckles ...you don't get knuckles like that talking shit on youtube .... sure you could try to shoot him but once the bullet got close enough to realize who it was fucking with it would fuckin run away screaming

Henry I cannot agree with you more. I have also trained with a head of style Shihan, and he was 65 or so at the time. Mind blowing speed, focus and skill. The kind of guy that could kill a normal man with one punch. Point a gun at him, I suspect that you would wake up in hospital with no teeth, and a metal jaw implant resembling a fire-arm.

He uses the core.. internal power... Its so rare these days, I believe when you say he was unbelievable fast. Few people develop internal power anymore. He gives great lesson from the beginning though most can not make use of it.

Henry Avery I have sacrificed everything to find Avery, and I'm not gonna let a couple of two-bit thieves, a senile conman, and a washed-up journalist take that away from me!

Henry Avery he is a legend I even have a Japanese wife as I so badly respect these type of legends ... respect .. and I'm not one of these easily mislead fools been a proboxer and an mma fighter ... I know this man is truly internal ... he knows he is on a spiritual plane now... not many of these guys left...MIND..😊

Show me this guys fighting

+TotalX48 Just come to Okinawa and see for yourself.

@@bajiquanxingyiquanokinawan7064 you guys dont have cameras?

Nah his but muscles have to be tense as well.😂 (The whole body) So he is testing whether he is contracting all the muscles. No way anyone can get kicked in the balls like that, twice😂😂

no. the stance he was in put his knees in a position protecting his balls from being kicked. Morio's kicks never made contact with the other guy's nuts.

Nope dude.. kyukushin were influenced by other style.. you need to read the history of kyokushin first before ;) peace

Octho Box I know what I'm talking about dude, sosai oyama studied Goju Ryu, and shotokan, didn't he? So tell me how those two weren't influenced?

Yeah definitely not the floor shaking

hahaha

It's not even a power punch

slap rounded rocks and tree stumps with ur palms every day for a few months...then start hitting soft wood or dirt or sand bags with ur fist as well.. continue slapping trees and rocks and over the years punching and chopping what u can handle...if u want more then ur fists and hands for weopons..similar technique wth ur forearms shins feet elboes knees....

I practiced breathing for 38 years :)) for god shake. One day i will stop breathing nomater what :))

I have a brown belt in flatulence

my Sa Pu Nim was in the church choir.... hi did this for experience and breath training.... he"s an amazing man.

Everyone talking about how he can easily kill you, it just makes me appreciate his kindness more and more. Like I would trust this guy with my life, he s so calm and gentle

@@Darloss9508 Yeah like Massaki, he broke the Makiwara by hitting it on the soft part

no => he's using special breathing technique to pull up his balls for protection at 7:29 and 7:42 hahahha ;-)

@@kareldegreef3945 that's actually real I heard that in baki wtf

@@hedhunterrjb9935 from what i know, it's not retracting the balls, but tightening the thighs muscle to protect it

lol

Nearly as tough as my claws.

they are like gloves

Amazing coincidence 👌 have fun and be healthy with Karate!

My late sensei Master Don Buck was considered by his own Master Mas Oyama to be the seventh deadliest man on earth and the other seven didn't want to mess with him Master Bucks wife showed me the book Master Oyama had written this in Master Buck was one of Oyamas indoor students in the late 50s and early 60s . Old school karate.

Again, I think this talk about "deadliest man on earth" is total BS and actually insulting to the Karate founders. Who judging this and how? By number killed? In that case, Stalin, Hitler, and Mao have been the deadliest men on earth in recent history. What does that have to do with Karate anyway.

Derukugi2 so right!

he is one of few Goju-Ryu masters who have actually mastered the goju-ryu Satsugai no geijutsu - korosu which basically means "art of killing." with that knowledge, he could easily kill a man with one clean strike,

Joe marine ...and you know that, how? Has he demonstrated that? And should he? Or others? Should "killing with one strike" be a standard test item? Groan...

He doesnt practice japanese martial arts he practices okinawan karate that is so far from japanese its not even funny. Okinawa is its own culture and karate was given birth in said nation the arts were originally known as shuri-te naha-te and Te

***** I know that Okinawa was a kingdom by it's own right before being invaded and conquered by Japan, but nowadays, it is Japanese... by your order of ideas it's the same as saying aikido isn't Japanese... it's from Ywama...

***** Very true. It is sad to know that they now have no right to claim their own kingdom (country) However, they are very proud of their history and the cultures that is still remaining in their very land.

Exactly, all my teachers were from South Korea, Japan and China.. U.S. teachers make it a fitness club or bully club type...

In the west most mcdojos are nothing but bs places to make money. In the East it's serious, because it's a life style. A life.

Jesse Rai bro i was like wth is that 😂😂😂😂

its a kata, called sanchin. it is a internal kata used for control and conditioning of breath and body. The reason for the noise sounding like a velociraptor is because to do the kata correctly you need to exhale all the air from your lungs.

I laughed so hard I almost spit from my nose...

I dare someone to try and steal it :)

They are gorgeous aren't they?

@@nerthus4685 they wouldn’t even get 2 seconds out of the door without falling over with those things

dude, if you look closely at their kata, when they move and perform their techniques, it looks as if there is energy being transmitted supernaturally. The vibration effects make their movements look awesome! :D first DBZ fighters, lol, jk.

***** amazing stuff.May incorporate this into my exercise routines.

Jade Williams It actually has great outcomes, I am a smoker and drinker, but still am reasonably healthy because I practice techniques like this and others.

***** Haha, 'reasonably healthy', good on you mate, let's see how that works out for you !!

cspace1234nz Well I am not sri chinmoy but who wants to run for fun when you can ride a banshee.

***** Actually man, most peoples stomachs expands when they breathe in.

yes sir! A lot of people who take Karate seriously, practice knuckle conditioning by punching wooden boards, or by punching sand.

Because they are exactly what you said, old, weathered (and sturdy) bricks

Well seeing as "his own town" was Tokyo...

+runningper Lol - but that should be a breeze if he was truly the most dangerous man in Japan!

+Mat Broomfield Of course. :) His moniker could also relate to how he ripped the guts out of a karate organisation, forcing it to change it's techniques in order to distance it from what he himself was teaching. The gossip while this was fresh was that it was because he married a white american woman. This is from the 90's so that right there was some crazy japanese racist shit going on. Being a student of Goju-ryu at the time was really weird.

+runningper I had not heard that accusation. In what way did he rip the guts out of the organisation?

+Mat Broomfield yeah, but bro, riddle me this: when have you ever seen anyone else with such calloused hands on anyone else?

Most important, it is wonderful if it makes you happy!!

punch, punch, punch, punch, punch, "oh fuck that was my wall". k whatever. punch,punch

+raphael brown in karate, only half part of the knuckle use. u can see when u r gripping ur hand, it is not leveled, from top n bottom. in karate, so, they will train hard to make sure that half of the knuckle will be used during fight.. u can try do push up using ur 3 fingers both hands, then knuckle push up by just using half of the knuckle. this doesn't mean the other half is weak, they have way to train their grips and make it as strong as the other half, but for striking, the only half of it use... sorry for my bad explaination

+Faiz Lah yea its bad...too much thinking going on in ur instructers head...u just told me exactly how to break ur hand...every single part of ur fist wrist forarm elboe should be conditioned to max...dont ever leave ur primary or secondary weopon with weak points...

So true....hahaha...thinking about defeating someone who experts...This is one of human behavior...always having a day dreaming

How is sanchin-dachi creepy? the stance and breathing itself is to develop rock hard tension so you cannot be just punched easily to the ground. An example each time at the end of his powerful breathing the sensei is to hit the areas that breathing is to protect. Hitting someone in full sanchin-dachi (which in a fight happens like a reflex action for the fighter) is like hitting a small brick wall.

***** That comment is obviously from a person whom has no idea what karate is. They probably wouldnt understand your explanation either.

HoaDuc Pham I tried my best to simplfy it for him so his mind could understand, but you're right the effort if futile in educating those whom do not want to be educated.

lol

***** woahhhh it totally did - lil man on man groin cupage is always a little Oh My regardless of "purpose" Lol seriously everyone just comments on the "creepy" bit without even bringing up that the guy clearly gave a little cock grope-age (not saying it was sexual)..... and you guys wanna start saying the person is ignorant? Lol

Because it is indeed something never seen before on planet earth

You are absolutely right... We need more healthy seniors and less drugs...

body conditioning! look at his knuckles!!

***** it is shan chane breathing,

***** In Okinawa it is Sanchin.

my bad on the spelling of the breathing technique,spenca,i never did learn all my japanese nomenclature, but it sure was alot of fun fighting with bad brad hefton and rickey hanes in my younger years ,sensai monzak always would hollar at me ,tell me quit bleeding all over the place ,......hum tell ricky to quit hiting me square on my nose with that crazy fast jab of his ,he was midle weight and he would hit as hard as brad did,only twice as fast ,ricky was a golden gloves champ, he gave it up cause he got his nose busted real bad and took up martial arts,my brother was president of the aka ,and i always worked out with the uska camp out in rockford ,ill i grew up there , my brothers dojos were all in chicago and indiana,bill wallace used to teach for ken ,my bro ,our dojos were called olympic karate studios,we had 12 dojos ,ran them for 14 years succesfully ,then moved on to the hotel business ,SYBARIS , KARL KNUDSON
