100% so true and I couldn't agree with you more.

lad get onto me, dont be deleting my replies ffs haha I need your opinion lad @@irishmaninokinawa5268

Yes! The history of boxing and its influence on karate can be traced back to the 1920s and 1930s in Japan. During this time, Western sports such as boxing and wrestling were introduced to Japan, and Japanese martial arts schools began to incorporate elements of these sports into their training. One of the first Japanese martial artists to experiment with boxing was Gichin Funakoshi, the founder of Shotokan karate. Funakoshi believed that the traditional techniques of karate were too rigid and impractical for real combat, and so he began to incorporate boxing footwork and punching techniques into his training. Over time, other karate masters followed Funakoshi's lead and started to incorporate boxing techniques into their own styles. This led to the development of hybrid styles such as Kyokushin karate, which emphasizes strong punches and kicks and is known for its full-contact sparring matches. Boxing also influenced the way karate was taught and practiced. In traditional karate schools, students would often practice katas (pre-arranged sequences of movements) in a rigid and prescribed manner. However, the influence of boxing led to a more practical and realistic approach to training, with emphasis placed on sparring and free-form drills. Today, boxing and karate are still intertwined, with many karate practitioners studying boxing as an adjunct to their training. The combination of these two disciplines can produce incredibly effective fighters, as seen in the rise of MMA and other combat sports that incorporate elements of both boxing and karate.

I do Uechi-Ryu and its up there with okinawan Gōjū-ryū and Kyokushin. I find Full-Contact Karate is the way to go in 2023.

@irishmaninokinawa5268 yes I agree with the full-contact aspect. I believe it should at least be part of the training session. Simply from a self-defence perspective, I you don't know how it feels to receive a punch/kick full force, you won't be able to cope with this stress factor in a real life situation. I train shorin-ryu and at the end of each training session, we do full-contact sparring in Kyokushin rules.

I didn`t know you guys did traditional full-contact as well.

@@irishmaninokinawa5268Damn right, full contact all the way

Well, as a full contact karate fighter the style of Uechi-Ryū in Okinawa, the birth place of karate, I like to drop my hand of the side I am kicking during a low roundhouse kick for a couple of reasons. First, lowering the hand helps to create a better balance and stability while executing a powerful lowkick. It ensures that the body remains grounded and centered throughout the movement. Secondly, it's all about speed and efficiency. By dropping the hand, I can generate more power and momentum from the hip rotation, allowing for a quicker and more effective strike. It's all about optimizing my technique and making every move count. I open up with a jab and straight punch, before going for a low kick that is uncomfortable. Forcing my opponent to want to cover and block there legs. So, you see, there's always a method to the madness in martial arts. It's quite fascinating, isn't it?

​@@irishmaninokinawa5268Uechi ryu karate teaches knife defense?

@@samueleperrone5325 Only liars teach Knife defense, I lived in England for many years and have seen a few stabbings. Knifes beat hands.

Thank you.

What is Wing arm thing?? I do Uechi-Ryū in okinawa and I've no clue what you talk of.

@@irishmaninokinawa5268 I had to look it up. The position of the hands before wa uke. Both hands are turned to about 45 degrees with the palms open. Look like a bird's wings to me. It's in your katas. When I see that stance I always think Uechi Ryu.

Check kicks pop up few more in Uechi-Ryū then Wa uke. Would you not rather check kick??

No sorry, am still in okinawa training in Uechi Ryu.

Happy days!

So are you still doing karate Or you quite.

Not yet... But there will be.

@@irishmaninokinawa5268 That's great. I'll visit when I'm next back home if you're back by then. My old - excellent - Wuzuquan club may be of interest to you, too. Uechi is a hard style in comparison but both no-bullsh*t fighting. There was also a Kyokushin Budokai nidan there several years ago it might be worthwhile hooking up with. I'll message you!

@@InGrindWeCrust2010 I'll be here for the next two years. But you can find me on Instagram at Irish man in Okinawa.

Same. In Okinawa now.

@@irishmaninokinawa5268 I’m in Tokyo. I don’t belong to a dojo either but I’m being taught one on one by my Sensei.

@@squifflessquaffles6339 o! Nice! Am training under Mr Tsuneo Shinabukuro.

@@irishmaninokinawa5268 Awesome! Best of luck to both of us!

Am in okinawa now. Learning it and loving it.

@@irishmaninokinawa5268 nice

Okinawa

​@irishmaninokinawa5268 I was allowed to train with kiohyde Sensei and his brother. I was constantly allowed to work with Gushi sensei also. I received my shodan under sensei Rick Martin.

@@donbaird3826 nice, I’m jealous

It's in the details.

I've no clue. My own fighting style is Uechi Ryu But if I every have time I could look it up for you.

@@irishmaninokinawa5268 thank you and please

Ohma Tokida

Ohma is some MMA mash-up, not a style. His striking is borrowed from muay thai and he also has some rudimentary jiu-jitsu grappling.

Shotokan right now, but I am open to any school really and hope to join what every I can when I get to okinawa.

Me too, Good luck!

Thanks guys that means so much.

Thank you man.
