This guy is awesome! I did karate for years, starting in Japan in 1960, did this kata a thousand times, and they never explained it this well. Plus you can see by the way he moves he is very, very good.
The name of the throw are Koshi Guruma (=Hip Wheel) and O Goshi (=Big Hip Throw) for people interested in the japanese judo name for google and research stuff ;)
I am very happy that I had the chance to attend this particular seminar. It was great! This video is really just a very quick summary of an intense step by step training with lots of detailed explanations (and really funny jokes). You can learn through this video, but it can't substitute a personal training with Iain.
Like in your little story you told on the seminar about the "you stole that from wrestling" e-mail conversation :Did you steal the sideways position leading to the step in O Goshi from Gracie JJ SD ? Because there I first encountert it 20 years ago.Thanks for a good seminar.
+Kenkon Germany As the Good Book says, "There is nothing new under the sun" :-) The throw itself is in the kata and a variation is in Funakoshi's first book. The side position entry (which is not in the kata) is a variation I picked up from judo. Thanks for all the support!
De como los bunkais usan las técnicas del ju jutsu para la defensa personal. Que importante es conocer las katas y sus bunkais para conocer el esplendor del Karate como sistema. Lástima que no se enseña como en este video. Oss
Thanks for the kind words! To me, it’s just “karate”. I stated in Wado, but the many teachers and influences I have had mean that label is not an accurate description for what I do now. I also think the idea of “styles” is one karate would be better without: Gichin Funakoshi wrote the following in his book Karate-Do: My Way of Life, “One serious problem, in my opinion, which besets present day karate-do is the prevalence of divergent schools. I believe this will have a deleterious effect on the future development of the art … There is no place in contemporary karate-do for different schools … Indeed, I have heard myself and my colleagues referred to as the Shotokan school, but I strongly object to this attempt at classification.” I agree with him :-) www.iainabernethy.co.uk/article/styles-are-they-killing-karate
+FightClubStellingen Not in this exact whole sequence, but rather it breaks it up into several smaller sequences. Really good resource to have, along with the Bunkai Jutsu series and the Kata-based Sparring.
You can find it in explicitly in Niseishi / Nijushiho. However, Shuto-uke - which is very common in “shuri-te”, but absent from “naha-te” - performs the same function. So, both lines have their preferred two-handed redirect which, although they look a little different, serve largely the same role.

I'm rewatching this segment, because i didn't bought the DVD yet.
Pure genius. Kata makes this way alot more sense, from a holistic perspective.

Does your "The Pinan/ Heian Series" DVD cover these Flow drills also?
+FightClubStellingen This drill is largely the smaller drills on those DVDs put end to end. I hope that helps.

Ok dumb question:is mawashi uke in Shuri te Karate kata anywhere?
