This is a good video as it brings up some confusing issues many modern-day karateka have regarding understanding a foreign language (Japanese) applied to an Okinawan martial art (initially utilizing their native language, Unchinanguchi) and cross-culturally applying those terms worldwide. The English translations of the three subjects in your title line are Japanese terms for throwing, pressure points, and bracing and locking the joints of the five appendages (the arms, legs, and neck). In modern times, we see a non-wholistic approach to the karate arts, and sub-arts have become independent. For example, we have the martial sport of judo, which focuses on the throwing aspect of opponent management. It is focused far less on pressure points but on gross limb management and center point control of the opponent. Then we have a martial art called 'Kyusho-Jutsu or just Kyusho' propagated by Evan Pantazi. This focuses on pressure point striking, pain manipulation action-reaction, and knockouts. I believe the pressure point knockout theory was laid out by the late Seiyu Oyata Sensei here in the USA, popularized and exploited by George Dillman, and yet others follow this as the 'be-all' of martial arts. While merit and kyusho (pressure points) are an integral part of the wholistic ancient karate experience, it is a fraction of the overall art. Then we come to Toide (Japanese)/Tuide (Uchinangucci). This is locking the joints in opponent management. While others and I look at this as the majority of kata translation, it is still only a portion of the whole. The larger and ancient karate experience and the translations of classical kata holistically include all three of these things, including 'atemi' (striking). The best description for it, I have heard was Karate is standing grappling with strikes. It is a blended experience that is a puzzle for the practitioner to derive on their own. You see a teacher may show you his way, but each practitioner has their own eyes by which a kata movement can be an additional viable interpretation. All interpretations that yield sound, efficient, and effective techniques are worth putting in the toolbox and practice. A single set of movements a wrestler may see a leg take down. An acupuncture doctor may see a couple of debilitating pressure points to apply from the Five Element Theory Cycle of Destruction. A grappler may see with their eyes the skeletal system and how the body moves with levers and fulcrums. A boxer will definitely see strikes come forth as his mind is focused on punishing striking and knockouts. To say Okinawan Karate was the Original Mixed Martial Art has merit. Thank you, Sensei Eddy, for examining much of this in the video. Keep practicing and producing more videos. Be well.

Awesome!

Very low level and slow techniques. I understand explaining a technique for a demo should be slower, but you full speed technique is too slow because of bad form and you taking extra steps.

Amazing sparring is very essential in any martial art. It keeps you honest.

Great for the application of Tuidi. I've been generating spontaneous attack responses with various colleagues of different martial arts. I recently went to a Jiu Jitsu school and learned how a Peruvian Necktie feels.

Counselor Stennas can still move. Love it.

Saweeeet

This is a great video, but just once I like to see a real-time punch or attack instead of slow-mo.

Thank you for another great video!

Thank you! Toide is #1

Nice job Cole

Totally unrealistic and reminiscent of the 1980's choreographed fighting

Thank you for this ... :)) ... actually I am Czech and our native language is from the fonetic perspective very close to Japanese. So for us is very easy to pronounce Japanese words pretty good. As I am practicing in Germany now, I find the german pronuncation of japanese words very strange but I have to tolerate. So for me the issue of the Japanese words pronuncation only appears when I am in English, French, German speaking countries. :)) But not in my home country or in Japan.

Very good - thanks for explaining it

Great video Sensei but out of respect for the country of origin would you please refrain from calling it KUH RAH TEE and label it as its correct name KARA = Empty (Kahra) as in ka as in Cat -ra as in rat Te =Hand Teh (as in get or bet) otherwise excellent information and professional instruction Sensei.

Excellent stance, precise movements🙏

Excellent demonstration Sensei! 🥋

This is fantastic! I trained under Tamae Sensei in 2009-2010 while in Okinawa. He is an excellent martial artist and instructor, and he ignited a passion in me! 🥋

these dojo's with a wooden floor like this always makes me think that they are just for decoration, not for training. I mean, I feel a strong contradiction between that floor and those kettlebells for instance. Doesn't it break and tear really easily ?

Rubbish, give karate a bad name

Garbage

Our version of Naihanchi is very close to yours, with only two slight differences. First is the movement through kosadachi. Our feet slide rather than lift and stomp. The second is the second block in the sweep check series. Ours is more of a lower out to inside block. I know the head of our system was a student of Toma Seiki so there is a lot of Seidokan in our kata and kihon.

Crap

Lack of strength and rush. It's obvious that they don't train to compete, but doing such kata for 1st kyu grading should be a fail. It shouldn't be only about knowing the moves, especially with such a short kata. If the video was uploaded to promote the club it's not the best choice.

Excellent video.....Naihanchi kata is probably the most standardized kata across systems. Great job! :)

Nice video. As a result of our discussions in Orem, we practiced Niahanchi-dachi all-direction stability and shored up this rooted stance.

Nice video. Great historical overview. Since Niahanchi is part our Seidokan system, it makes sense to do that iron shirt training there. I did not know that historically, Niahanchi was used in this way. Interesting to me. Do you believe Niahanchi to be equivalent in terms of "iron shirt" training? It makes sense, to me, in some ways, but I do not understand how it could be as good as Sanchin, since the legs are spread in Nihanchi, where in Sanchin dachi, they contribute to the lower-body portion of the protection. One of the drills I incorporate into Sanchin is the centerline stepping, while checking the stance though movement. The 'squeeze-extend' stepping is prominent in Sanchin, which is important when moving. Can you comment?

Another great video, a little bit faster paced as well. I enjoy the faster pace as it represents real life situations. Also, congratulations Max on getting your black belt. I'd like to see this page post a video with Max speaking about his journey and how far he has come since white belt.

🥋👍🏻

Oss! 🥋

The x block is good, i actually use in in real time speed sparring, nicely done, well executed video.👌🥷

Fake a** wanna be WTBS

Oss! The last example of the The heian godan technique was excellent ❤ it makes alot of sense and is very practical. Oss! 🥋

Oss! 🥋 The hitting away of the hand from a grab (which is example 2) using down block is not a good way for we have learned to improve this idea. The 'hikite' hand is not and idel hand. When cuffed it means that it has being grabing or holding on to somthing...... No offence sensi. Thanks for your patience and time for making these videos available. Oss🥋!

Oss! 🥋 What is the use of the "ward off hand movement with the palm when turn the other direction in Heian Godan?"

Oss! 🥋 No disrespect sensi, "too much preaching"

Oss!

Nice and easy and short. But actually the x block is not use to block any attack.... 🙄🥋Oss!

Oss! 🥋

This is great. Thank you.

Oss! The first move "block" is questionable.... 🥋 The hikite hand is idel or no explanation was given for the hikite hand. In any application both hands must have an explanation. Every kata starts with an attack or strke/joint lock etc... defence against an opponent... Never a 'block' 🥋✌️

this style of karate was once the most popular karate style in Greece specially in 80s. although is called Okinawa te tai karate do in greece its the same.

Thank you for showing the crossblock/choke option without the Gi. Very promising. Max is also a very good performer as well, and I'm excited to see him get his blackbelt in the future.... in other news, I just received my first stripe on my brown belt. #imeatingacustard #cheezeits #cinderblocks #valuableinformationasalways #brownbelt #turningtheleaf

Valuable info as always

Please could you explain also the usage in the other "blocks"? With soto and age uke is easier to understand, in all the styles are almost the same but the rest have a lot of difference between styles, and I usually can't find specific tutorials for Seidokan or at least shorin and motobu ryu, 90% of the karate explanations are for shotokan

Please could you do a video about the bunkai? I don't understand the meaning on 4:51 and 5:44

How would you approach if there isn't a cuff to hold onto? For example, if they had shorts. When you do the flip, do you grab on the knee? Just curious because I live in a very warm environment. By the way, great performance out of you in this video. #brownbelt #funnel #custard

Cup check Sir

I was just showing this kata by Sensei Caggiano yesterday so thank you so much as always for providing me a reference to help me learn the basic movements and then on my refinement on my own time!
