I want to try, Karate !
If there is a dojo near you, you should!
This man came to our dojo in the late eighties, I remember him rag dolling my sensei in sparring, extremely talented individual!
Uechi ryu is my favourite karate I want to learn in Okinawa, by the way I’ve been doing Jiu Jitsu for many years my advice is to be careful with your head position in double leg take down don’t get guillotine choke, nice video sensei thank you ❤️☺️🙏👍🇦🇺🇺🇸🇯🇵🥋 cheers from the knight family Melbourne Australia.
dope
Were is your dojo?
Sensei Kelley is a student of Buzz Durkin's Karate School in Atkinson, NH. My Dojo is in Dover, NH.
Where is the dojo?
Sensei Bethoney teaches in Hanson, MA
I went back to Kyokushin karate at 49 after a 20 year break. I am also competing in kumite tournaments and beating guys 15 years younger than me. You can do anything at any age if you’re healthy enough and your spirit is strong.
Excellent advice!!!!!!!!
Wanna see him fighting!!
Mr. Rose is one of the best martial art teacher I have had in my live, and I lived in many different places, and different karate styles, and other martial arts.
Fun
Thank you so much for this insight ❤🥋
A great accompaniment to my morning training, thanks for your great work, very inspiring.🥋🙂🙂↕️🙏🏽
Thank you for this interview. ❤🥋
Snap rather than push🎊
TY🎊
🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
Hi Leyn. Hope all is well. Miss our conversations we had at work.... Joe Ponzo
Hi Mr Leith! It’s me Cian! How have you been???
Great! Hope you are well!
This guys no joke! Respect from Kakuto
I recognized my sensei in sanshin kata front row, from Nancy Gavenda’s dojo, was there late 90s-2000 before moving. Miss it!
Another great interview, excellent stuff, looking forward to more🙏🏽🙂↕️🥋
Karate+bjj=MMA 🙌
My GOD, that is a beautiful man!!! SWOON!!!
Brilliant teacher
I think it would be better to show the whole move slowly first, then show it with the details, then show it fast.
I did Shotokan karate before i switched to BJJ. thank you.
👍🥋👊
Great instruction!
Thank you both so much for this interview. ❤️🥋 I recently told a friend of mine the reason I retired was so I could make karate my life, rather than treat it like a hobby… Mind, Body, Spirit
This school of karate doesn't use much high kicks and spin kicks right?
It really depends on the individual dojo and student. Some focus less on them then others do.
although its a kata from Uechi Ryu this version of Sanchin, your breathe is completly wrong, this is not goju ryu! its uechi Ryu!
Are you referring to the noise made on the exhale? While it may sound like the Goju-Ryu style of breathing, internally it is Uechi-Ryu. I also do the more familiar "Tst" sound with my breath, I just didn't do it in this video. If you are interested I talk more about breathing and how I teach it in this video: ua-cam.com/video/dPouy7vKDXg/v-deo.html
Well that what we practiced in silat...and that how we applied to real fight
Always a great seminar Uechi Combatives
❤️🥋
Thank you🎊
Bill Laplant is the man,love that guy!!😊
Excelente.. Kata..
Thank you for the videos sir. I've seen a few of yours. I had a few questions. Would you say a person who doesn't hand condition shouldn't do shoken strikes ? And should someone who has had hand injuries avoid them? As a uechi practitioner like with any art I'd imagine you tailor it as needed . As it's not a religion but a martial arts system open to interpretation by the individual practitioner as grandmaster Mattson has said in his videos. Thanks for your thoughts on this sir.
Sorry for the late reply. Yes, I tell my students to adapt when injured. As for conditioning for strikes like shokens, even without conditioning involving striking and makiwara or something similiar, you can still strengthen the technique with proper practice through your kata.
Best explanation I've heard
Lots of pearls of wisdom in this video. Thank You!
Beautifully done. You know how to manage a class.
This is awesome
This will be garate for getting back to my Uechi-ryu training
Love this! Thanks for posting!
new subscriber here
Are these guys hands conditioned or what? My gosh
He greatest uechi Ryu karate
i love this concept as i practice both arts
Older practitioners should do more vigorous exercise if they are able.
