The whole softness thing and doing so for so many years before becoming a master is hard to stand by! Honestly I thought you nailed those exercises when you did them.. You looked better than they do!
it is different because most Japanese styles of Karate concentrate on the 1 beat, where Okinawan Styles start there at kihon then as you advance then you move to that level ( think of 16th and 32notes in music). It comes to the fluidity of the motion!
I think they like you or they woulsnt be to relaxing and have fun?!, they probably just laugh in good sport over , anyways its brave going in ne stuff and being good at taking criticim
The "beer time" was the actual education. Based on the previous videos I got the impression they were testing you, not just your skill but your response to stress and critique. Being invited to share a drink after is proof you passed your tests and no doubt were told some pretty profound things to add to your practice.
I admire you for being open to learning a new way of practicing Karate. You could have chosen to "stay in your lane" but you put yourself out there. And much respect to the Sensei's commitment to their practice and to sharing it with others.
I like that you reflected on your immediate reaction, and feeling mad or frustrated about being criticised. You've achieved a lot for your age, and that's a legitimate source of pride for you, but don't let pride interfere too much with your experiences going forward. If you receive negative feedback, and it causes you to experience negative emotions, that's a sign that your pride has been given too much weight. I really enjoyed this series, and I hope you do more in the future!
I’ve done 14 years of Taekwondo, 4 of Shotokan, and nearly 30 years of Chinese internal martial arts. (I’m 64]. The Chinese way is to never ask a question until you have done the technique at least 1000 times. After I got my black belt in taekwondo, I realized I was just beginning. If you keep the attitude that you spend a few months learning the movement or form, but the rest of your life trying to get it right (because there’s so many levels/layers), you’ll be more patient. Power from a harmonized movement and relaxed body is ultimate. I’m still working on it! Hang in there, youngster!
Wow, what a treasured experience. Decades of experience thrown at you in a 4 hour blitz. It’s like a person gets a Masters Degree in Studying Egyptology but never visited Egypt. But then visiting one pyramid they realize how little they actually know
When a ship crashes into something ...even lightly ...it is devastating. The whole weight and flow of direction of the ship carries with the point as one impact. Your shoulders and core are the mast. Your waist carries on the waves as the haul. Your fist is the point of the ship.
Think about the 3 harmonies: the hands must be in harmony with the feet. The hips must be in harmony with the shoulders. And the elbows must harmonize with the knees. Also recall what the elder teacher said about the Mobius Strip. Think energy conservation and economy of movement.
I'm a born and raised American and my teacher and Uncle who is a Grandmaster once told a student that he couldn't be his teacher because he kept asking questions at every step🙂
That's so funny a western food place was open that late, aside from fast food in the US where I live it's usually EASTERN food places that are open that late! 😆
Love the thought process behind the system and love the way you expressed it from your point of view touching on, I think key point of connection between whole body instead of body part 👊🏾🤙🏾🤗 love the videos 💯 Osss
I've always loved challenging myself by learning techniques, ideas, or concepts that different than what I currently practice. It has allowed me to feel comfortable always being "outside the box," or atleast being in a much bigger box. I enjoy your videos and I look forward to watching more of your journey.
I’ve been to A&W in Okinawa they actually make a great burger and fries, if you practise Shotokan there are some major technique differences to Okinawa styles. The biggest differences are Shotokan practitioners stop at the end of the technique with their ( kime), the Okinawa practitioners follow through and “ go through the opponent”, a forward motion . I’ve studied both extensively and know what they were trying to demonstrate, Japan has really focused on arena karate and this is why there is a major difference in power, relaxation and kime. A demonstration ( sport karate ) is openly trying to show the power development as a performance, not the “ internal power”.
I enjoy your videos yusuke! This video is great having a casual burger and or beer. The casual nature is refreshing also! This takes me back to 2010 when I got tri travel from Australia to Naha, and sight see all day, then train, then drink all Night Such good times. Keep up the good work!
I really like those masters, I think they have really dangerous techniques. This is for me the closest I seen to what I think the karate was about when it was in the old days when it was meant for real self defense like during the war (when Japan occupied Okinava). I'm Really enjoying this. Thank you.
04-May-2022: Hello Yusuke Sensei, the concept these sensei were trying to show you is more or less the same concept of power generation that you first encountered with Shinzato Sensei of Matsubayashi Ryu in season 1 of your visit to Okinawa. I mean no disrespect to the Shogen Ryu masters, but as a Matsubayashi practitioner myself, I think it would be beneficial for you to revisit a Matsubayashi dojo while you're in Okinawa this time and review these power generation methods. The Shogen Ryu guys seem to have a very specific physical viewpoint on how the "ball and chain" feeling of Matsubayashi power generation should feel and how it should be practiced. But, the overall concept appears the same, which is expected since they are a derivative of Matsubayashi Ryu. Thank you for these videos. Please keep up the good work. Pax ✌️
Wow 81 and moves like that !!!!I shows that u need to keep moving and using your body if u want longevity and great quality of life still unbelievable I watch the videos over and over, loving the series and appreciate all knowledge they r sharing
I felt kinda same when I was in Japan and joined a Shotokan Dojo. I used to practice Taekwondo back in Brazil and the techniques look kinda similar but different. In TKD, the movements are more relaxed and the sensei thought I was lazy. Since I’m Japanese Brazilian I can totally relate to your experience. The comparison with whole numbers and decimals is perfect. Thanks for sharing.
I got exactly the same feeling only whatching :) "what is going on here??!" "never saw anything like this!" "What are they trying to teach?". Super zen karate style. Thanks for sharing this experience.
In my squared view you were doing perfect moves and the Sensei: "not even close! your center is total out of place!" hahaha it made me laugh a lot and realize how beginner I am!
When you said that you were American, a lot made sense. Our dojo’s motto is “damatte keiko,” but my senpai encourage and expect a lot of questions. “Why do we do this?” leads to perfection. No one wants to put their heart into a technique that looks flawed, or is unusable in a fight.
When I was a kid away at camp, if our cabin was the cleanest of the week, our reward was a root beer float at A&W! Loved it!! At some point, you need to learn how I punch with the punch starting before you step but reaching the target with all your body weight behind it.
Don't be hard on yourself Yusuke! You've only practiced with them for the time it took you to record the video. They may be masters, but that doesn't mean they know how to teach. I think you did great.
He made a great point with you about punching while the hip is still moving. You can even do that BEFORE your foot touches the ground. For a year or so I practiced in the park by myself. I practiced Kata slowly without the Kiai so as not to appear like a show off or disturb others. I got the best insights doing Taikyoku Shodan over and over again very slowly. It changed how I did my Kihon. If you punch before your foot hits the ground, you hit while your hip is still moving forward, but also while your hip is descending. That adds some of your weight to the force of your punch in addition to your forward movement and the strength of your arm. Read Shigeru Egami’s books, “The Way of Karate, Beyond Technique” and “The Heart of Karate-Do”. In his search for a correct punch, he took thousands of full force Chudan punches. Mr. Ohshima (early Shotokan pioneer in the U.S. and Senior Egami’s Junior said that Mr. Egami was a Karate genius!).
Its such a difficult thing to relax specific joints and controlling tension in general. However, I think aging eventually forces changes in how we generate power. Also, when you consider actual combat situations or even full contact sparring, you likely cannot achieve that level of relaxation since your opponent is also attacking (providing you with stressors). Being able to do what those older gentlemen can do is astounding; however, the younger and more fit you are, you can get away with some excess tension (albeit at the cost of speed, energy, and overall efficiency).
I'm loving the Yusuke in Okinawa series! It's great to see you step into so many dojos and expand your horizon! It's ok to not understand things in the moment as long as you persist until you do. Keep going!! Could you also please react to: ua-cam.com/video/bT-1NZnMtvc/v-deo.html
My opinion; I think he was laughing because of how kata "good" your movements are, but missing the core of the concepts they were trying to show you. I have been there too, with the older Sensei's laughing at your "young" Karate, it's not fun, but it's extremely valuable.
I am curious, what beer it that (not Asahi, but the one in the white/yellow can) they are drinking during "beer time"? By the way, I love A&W restaurants, even though I am not a huge root beer fan, they way they serve it in frosty glass mugs makes it delicious. Shame they are almost impossible to find in the US anymore.
A&W used to be a fairly widespread fast food chain in the U.S., but there's just a bare few left now (one of which is one town over from my own). It's interesting that one survived in Okinawa (of all places)!
I felt I understood the two Sensei as I was taught some similar ideas. My style’s founder share a common teacher with them in the late Nagamine Sensei, and I wonder if that had anything to do with it-if there is a connection in their way.
I think the challenge you are going to face is --> How to incorporate all these newly learned soft skills in your shotokan style karate? Can both of the styles complement each other? If not, what is the next move?
Consider visiting also the dojo of Morinobu Maeshiro sensei. One of the top students of the late Katsuya Miyahira Hanshi, founder of Shorin Ryu Shidokan if the time allows you.
Sensei you have started learned what some people call "internal" martial arts. It takes awhile to get it a bit. But as you practice more, you will realize you already have some of this internal relaxation in some of your movements, such as your round kicks, your footwork etc. Things that are more dynamic require higher level of coordination and relaxation. It's only you are just starting to put power into punching and smooth spiral rotation into different types of movement. The aiki-do practitioners are good at this actually, that is their specialty. But if you can put this in with your karate, you will be very good
I think if I didn't get my basic training in taekwondo/shitoryu/judo/boxing/shorinjikempo/bjj... I would really like to be a wing chun/ kyukoshin guy...🙏
You should come to my dojo and train . Matsubayashi Ryu . Which is the same but it would awesome to do a vid. Really enjoy your videos . Good luck to you in your endeavors.
Dude! Yusuke, the foot landing has to do with the ground reaction force. Without it, you'll end up just punching from the upper body and the force from the ground won't travel up and through the hand. In short, just as they said, arm strength tension is all you'll be able to achieve. There's a limit to that. Whereas gravity is our friend. You need a relaxed, flexible body, to enable the force to travel up and out. The foot landing is what adds power and speed, not the arms. Hope that helps. The precise mechanics, image, I can't share here and, personally, I don't think anyone should, in spite of the Social Media Mandate to upload everything. Some things are best discovered on our own, through self-study a) because the joy of discovery is way better than being shown everything on a silver plate and b) this is potentially highly destructive knowledge. You don't want the yakuza watching and learning the secrets in ten minutes. Does that make sense? Isn't there an ethical context in karate, just as there is in things like aikido, Budo in general too..? The idea, I think, is not just technical proficiency or mastery but mastery in the larger wholistic sense of uplifting humanity, at the very least the community of dojo attendees. Focusing on technique alone leads to destructive paths of self-aggrandizement, as all Eastern philosophies teach, even Sun Tsu would agree I think. You don't teach the war strategies you use to your enemy, unless you want to be destroyed by the techniques you teach others. In short, I would be saddened if 'masters' taught these for all to see, under some such assumption that wars and violence are a thing of the past. People do not change unless forced to through appreciating the human condition of suffering and seek enlightenment of this burden through training, self-development, compassion and its spread through social venues like the dojo IMHO. Nonetheless, it's Good to see the interviews and, for me, to realize others also arrive at a similar integrity of mind and body. It's not undignified to spend decades studying ourselves in relative isolation if it's out of noble intent, a notion that is conspicuous by its absence in our contemporary world of self-gratification.
After watching your videos on these Okinawan Sensei, I really think you should train with a good wing Chun Sifu. It's clearly obvious that Crane style has influenced their karate, so could be eye opening for you. You are being disadvantaged due to your hard style karate roots, and it is difficult to release tension when you haven't trained for it.
This is why everyone is not a Champion. Some things everyone will just not get. You can’t teach some things. It comes naturally to some people. Not everyone. Now you know what you don’t know. You are very young. I now know how much you don’t know as well. Keep trying and give it time.
I don't know : do those guys have karate champions in their Dojo? Or are they the kind of guys who keep on claiming that " our art is too dangerous to be used in tournaments.... somebody could end up dead"..... ? I mean.... really?
I don’t think you understand the wildly brutal physical conditioning that comes with Okinawan styles. I don’t practice karate to be a champion. I practice for peace, and safety, wisdom…
@@mottahead6464 Souns like they do test if not in tournaments.Just a guess by how hard they are, no way they dont test it in some way. But just a guess. i dont know.
in my opinion both of them just doesnt that good at explaining. but different with your point of view, maybe because i am an asian, in my eyes they are super kind

Have you ever considered a capoeira collaboration video? People like exotic stuff, myself is no exception ))))
oh i understand, u r not really japanese. i could not believe you were educated in japan, now i.get it i get everything😂

At least in Kendo 第二道場 (second dojo) is relevant for the transmission of knowledge
Agreed 👍

Absolutely love your honesty and open attitude very Mushin of you to take a new perspective
Great to hear you analyze and internalize their teaching, you will gain a lot with this sincere attitude toward learning
It was educational to watch, thanks for doing it.
I'm a born and raised American and my teacher and Uncle who is a Grandmaster once told a student that he couldn't be his teacher because he kept asking questions at every step🙂
I think that if you ever want to try Shogen Ryu again in the future, Tai Chi Chuan might be a great thing to maybe look into first.
That's so funny a western food place was open that late, aside from fast food in the US where I live it's usually EASTERN food places that are open that late! 😆
The practice with the teachers reminded me of Pai Mei from Kill Bill when he met the protagonist. The teacher's laugh reminded me of that scene.

Would have loved to have been there for the beers!

At some point, you need to learn how I punch with the punch starting before you step but reaching the target with all your body weight behind it.
I grew up on A&W! There were waitresses that brought your food out your car on a tray that would hang on your window. It was great!!!
Don't be hard on yourself Yusuke! You've only practiced with them for the time it took you to record the video. They may be masters, but that doesn't mean they know how to teach. I think you did great.
It was interesting journey with the two Senseis. Also only knew A&W for Root Beer.

Yeah, the more open and ..harsh criticism you'll get from a good teacher like that - the more they think you're able to grasp. :)

“Genti San you”. “Wholeness” and “tompo”, all at once. These are the principles since ancient times. Quan fa all have these qualities .
A&W is all over the USA and now is owned by YUM Brands Inc. the same company that owns Taco Bell, Pizza Hutt, KFC etc.
The beer session is when the real lesson starts.

I bet that during that beer time you learned the most! Because that is how many Okinawan Masters are.
We also have Juho which is the soft version of Naihunchin.
I am curious, what beer it that (not Asahi, but the one in the white/yellow can) they are drinking during "beer time"? By the way, I love A&W restaurants, even though I am not a huge root beer fan, they way they serve it in frosty glass mugs makes it delicious. Shame they are almost impossible to find in the US anymore.
A&W used to be a fairly widespread fast food chain in the U.S., but there's just a bare few left now (one of which is one town over from my own). It's interesting that one survived in Okinawa (of all places)!
US Military Base - probably popular with servicemen.
I felt I understood the two Sensei as I was taught some similar ideas. My style’s founder share a common teacher with them in the late Nagamine Sensei, and I wonder if that had anything to do with it-if there is a connection in their way.

A&W root beer floats are my guilty after practice snacks.😁

1nc 👁️ was told the Angle of the Body was 2b 32.5° when 👊 w/ a little 😊!
I can sympathize. I recently asked my Sensei a question, and he had a similar reaction. Kind of like, "You're a Godan, why are you asking me this?"
👍
Great video! :)
This is called a "Cinematic Chain", for those whom study biomechanics.

It's clearly obvious that Crane style has influenced their karate, so could be eye opening for you. You are being disadvantaged due to your hard style karate roots, and it is difficult to release tension when you haven't trained for it.
This is why everyone is not a Champion. Some things everyone will just not get. You can’t teach some things. It comes naturally to some people. Not everyone. Now you know what you don’t know. You are very young. I now know how much you don’t know as well. Keep trying and give it time.
Did each of the Senseis seem to agree on movement, the use of hip and the relaxation methods??
Did they have root beer 🍻 floats on the menu there?🥋
Did you ask him why he use to slap his chest when he throws tsuki?
Or did you make a your opinion about?
Wear wondering about that. That dude smacks his chest and success too often to make that snappy sound
Can you visit Taketo Nakamura dojo the son of Shigeru Nakamura Of Okinawa Kenpo
soo i guess this is how you unlock your ultra instinct...
Yes, I forgot, Baji, too!😀
I was under the impression japanese people really dont like the taste of root beer
I don't know : do those guys have karate champions in their Dojo? Or are they the kind of guys who keep on claiming that " our art is too dangerous to be used in tournaments.... somebody could end up dead"..... ?
I mean.... really?
I don’t think you understand the wildly brutal physical conditioning that comes with Okinawan styles. I don’t practice karate to be a champion. I practice for peace, and safety, wisdom…
@@ch0wned Okay, then. Yet Champions put themselves to the test..... and win.
@@mottahead6464 Souns like they do test if not in tournaments.Just a guess by how hard they are, no way they dont test it in some way. But just a guess. i dont know.
They condition their bodies to kill with a single hit. It was developed for war not for contests.
@@TAURUS100580 Or so they say.
Sounds like tryina learn street fighter with someone who counts moves in frames..
If 1 🗣️🚫 👂!
Not very nice to talk with mouth full............. not good education, very rude on line, sorry but I respect your karate and your work.
in my opinion both of them just doesnt that good at explaining. but different with your point of view, maybe because i am an asian, in my eyes they are super kind
You should take some time and study Wing Tsun, and, perhaps, down the road, Bak Mei. They will help your Karate understanding as well.
There seems to be more questions asked, than practiced. Possible showing more respect to the sensei would be preferable.
Ah so he should kowtow and kiss his feet? Give him money, work for him for free right?
kurwa,typie ,ty jesteś jednostrzałowcem.aż mi ciebie szkoda.
