Another Motobu Inspired Pad Drill
Вставка

- www.iainabernethy.co.uk/ In this video we look at a pad drill inspired by the two-person drills of Choki Motobu (1870-1944). Those familiar with his drills will recognise which elements we are making use of. Additionally, we can also see Motobu’s expressed combative concepts in play i.e. “Always strike from where your hand is in that moment”, “Blocking with one hand a striking with the other is not true martial arts”, etc.
If you’d like to see my take on Motobu’s drills, they are explained in my app (along with a breakdown of a kata I created to encapsulate them): iainabernethy.app.link/4vaLnBBCi0
I hope you enjoy the video!
All the best,

“Always strike from where your hand is in that moment” heard that exact same comment from a traditional muay boran practicioner.
I like how this drill fits in well with Motobu's principles of attack and defense being done in one fluid set of motions without any breaks and both attack and defense can be done with one hand.
When travel becomes possible again, maybe you could visit Okinawa and talk to the masters teaching Motobu's style.
Choki Motobu is definitely a masterful genius at his craft to create techniques like these. Your breakdown and translation makes it a lot interesting to look at. Plus, the techniques is very adaptable.
Love the fight science here. This is exactly how Mike Tysoe generated power, from the hips.
I love how you the master's own words to support your insights. It really adds more credibility. I have often seen a reluctance to actually use the literature to move into the present in TMA. Usually, it is "this is the way it is done." Your page is very refreshing.
Very well presented Sensei. He was clearly ahead of his time.
Motobu's philosophy was forward never one step back
Great educational video and practical too, bravo!
Thanks Iain. I've been brushing up on my Kushanku and this fits the mental Bunkai really well 👍
Definitely gonna practice these
Great stuff thank you. Went down a treat with my kids class this morning.
Great drill Iain, really like your approach to training. Drawing from the past but not stuck in it.
Thank you! "To search for the old is to understand the new. The old, the new, this is a matter of time" - Gichin Funakoshi
Excellent drill 👍🏻
Very cool🥋🥋🥋🥋🥋🥋
Awesome :)
Good stuff
Another interesting video .any chance of something on henri plee or Vernon bell.unsung and influential karnataka.cheers
Karate is a living tradition. The framework of the old are like the roots of a tree. They do constraint the tree but exactly that gives it the power to exactly grow and also protect is from the whims OS the future. A book recommendation:“the world beyond your head" very good book
Love this stuff!
I noticed that in his book Motobu includes half a dozen or so other drills (aside from the 12) presented in 18 images. Did you consider including these in Seinipo and do you plan on examining them?
I do find all of Motobu’s stuff interesting … and his other presented methods have impacted on my approach to the “Core 12”. For the kata, it was those “Core 12” that I wanted of focus on as I feel they give a good illustration of his thinking … and it’s a nice contrast to some of the more modern drills we see i.e. three and five step sparring.
Thanks Iain, wonderful set of drills. Can I please ask, which of Motobu books inspired these drills? Cheers.
Thank you! For me, it was the hardback version of this book (only 2000 hard back copies printed; each with its own certificate) in the 1990s. The since published a much cheaper paperback version: www.amazon.co.uk/Okinawan-Kempo-Choki-Motobu/dp/092012917X/ This is the same book translated by different people: www.amazon.co.uk/Karate-Jutsu-Kumite-Motobu-Choki/dp/1986139034/
practicalkatabunkai thanks Iain. I’m a book buff so I’ll see if I can track myself down a copy.
@@davidnewth924 The versions linked above are cheap and easy to find. Intreresting read!
practicalkatabunkai thanks Champ. I’ll get on it! It will probably raise more questions than it answers! 🤣😂🤣 thanks again!
Your technique is very fluid, I must say. The more I watch your videos, the less the distinctions between martial arts become existent.
If you do not mind me asking, are there any resources if you want to go deeper into Tegumi? I ask to research, and in the future, practice, its application much deeper than the mere surface deep level.
Thanks for the kind words! This webpage has some historical information on Tegumi, its relationship with karate, and its evolution: iainabernethy.co.uk/comment/16078#comment-16078 If you mean karate grappling generally, then there is loads of information online these days. This article may also be of interest: iainabernethy.co.uk/article/karate-grappling-did-it-really-exist
practicalkatabunkai Thank you for the info. I asked the question because it seems strange that one would have to practice Judo in place of Tegumi to enhance your grappling in Karate, but I grasp that Tegumi is not as prolific as Judo itself is, so this becomes a more pragmatic decision. It seems to me though that, if there was a supplementary art that was originally part of Karate’s native curriculum, then the supplementary stand alone art should be available in Karate Dojos as well.
@@TheMeditatingRaven Tegumi is said to have had an influence on karate, but as the linked post discusses, Tegumi has now evolved into something very different. Old karate and old tegumi will have had a fair degree of cross over, but modern karate and modern shima have evolved a long way apart. These days some karateka used “tegumi” as a term to describe karate’s old-school grappling. However, I’m not aware of any old-school tegumi that is practised independently of karate. Cross training to improve any given element, and to learn from those who specialise in that element, is always a wise move in my view. It’s been a few years since I last trained in judo, but it certainly helped refine and hence aspects of my karate. I’m a martial artist first and a karateka second.
practicalkatabunkai Fair enough. Thank you.
Watching that restricted hook on x 0.25 speed, beautiful.
How do this drills translate to nihansi / tekki ? Or the other way around.
Dude, is that a fire place in your dogo? Now that's old school. 😜
Yep. It's not been used for many decades ... but our dojo is a old church hall and hence it was built before central heating was a thing :-)

Awesome. I'd love to visit your country some day.
Detroit : Excellent. Techniques .none of my karate instructors ever had our hands up & never had us cover our head (thats why i like mondern karate , over traditional)i tryed Isshinryu its supposedly mondern but it falls under the "traditional code" why dont karate schools ,have the students get into & use a boxers stance ? I know the Wing Chun (Do) wants the students squared with the opponent they teach 2 on 1 hands & bridge ing. Thx
Thank you! Plenty of karateka do use an arm position similar to boxing when engaged in consensual combat. However, for close-range non-consensual combat, the arms are better put to active use (locating targets, opening up paths for strikes, active covers, etc) as opposed to being held in a passive guard. To me, it’s using the right tool for the right job. We like to train both whilst always being mindful of context. This videos may help: ua-cam.com/video/9I36exRa3Uc/v-deo.html and ua-cam.com/video/Wox8fB1Mdh8/v-deo.html
pardon, the wing chun way doesn't want use to be square one with the other.
This idea is not correct.
Looking forward to giving that a play on the pads thanks. Is it workable to add Peter Consterdine`s naughty Elvis in to the hips? :)
Great term! Yes. Covered at 4:06 in the video.
@@practicalkatabunkai Rubbish me missed that double hip :)
Where can i find Motobu drills?
