    Shorinjiryu Kenkokan Karatedo in (Tokyo) we have a Dojo Kun that everyone recites. We also use the SuperSafe Bogu for Full contact sparring. Our Soshihan is Masayuki Kudaka. With a lineage that goes back to Kudaka Island in Okinawa.

I am a student of Yusuke's online classes and he does put out great content, along with being very helpful with the training, despite being online. Kudos to you both for trying to bridge the gap in Karate.

    Having a third degree in taekwondo and a second degree in shotokan I actually prefer the shotokan kata over the taekwondo especially my tournament kata is called the Bassai Dai (minor) which I probably mistranslated to Breaking though the Fortress". I definitely need to revise my kata to reflect the OG Shotokan.

    It is funny that the university Shotokan Karate Clubs in Tokyo have developed differences in form and Kata. Funakoshi was the formal leader of both Keio and Waseda, but he allowed them to diverge somewhat. The founder of Shotokan Karate of America, Mr. Ohshima, trained directly under Master Funakoshi and has tried to be faithful to Shotokan as he was taught and the changes he has made are few and far between.

      They are a lot of shorin ryu styles but some shorin ryu has a different kanji text. One is derived from chinese shaolin and the other could be derived from the mainland of okinawa but it has some shaolin influence but it's a little confusing which one?

    Thank you for bringing us this wonderful interview, with Sensei Yusuke Nagano of Japan's Shotokan Karate. Like you Sensei Dan he is very knowledgeable, humble, honourable as well as respectful and open minded towards other martial arts styles.
    It is great to see that Sensei Yusuke Nagano, being a young man, that he has an open mind, where he sees the positive blending between the Japanese and Western mentality, approach and attitudes towards martial arts training and conduct of one's self. This was a phenomenal collaboration between you two, of which I look forward to further videos with you two, on both of each other's UA-cam channels, Osu!🇲🇽🇦🇺🥋🦘🐨🙏

    When I started martial arts in 1994 I went to a school that was simply called USA karate and they had what they called American taekwondo which is pretty close to the ITF taekwondo (Chang Hon) discipline. When learning a new Kata/Bunkai we would be taught the kata in 3 sections
    When the first section is mastered we move the second section and so forth. When the 3 sections has completed we run the run all 3 together to complete the kata in it's entirety
    I was fortunate to have Master John Graden who was a student of GM Joe. Lewis who was in turn of taght by GM Bruce Lee and Walt Bone & Michael Anderson of WAKO, who brought Sport Karate from Germany to the US.

    An excellent exploration of Karate from the Japanese side. Very interesting to hear about the expectations of respect from Sensei Nagano. I also liked his discussion on asking questions. Now, it's not as strict as before and yes it depends on the instructor. However, I totally understand the idea of exploring the concept first before asking a question. Saw that a lot while I was in Mainland China and Hong Kong. Finally, it was interesting to hear Sensei Nagano's comments on styles of Karate in Japan. There's more of an Okinawan influence in the US instead of Japan. Again, we see that Karate is not a monolith but varies from place to place. Hope to hear more discussions in the future.

    This is great I really enjoy your content. Your personality is great and open. I’m a Shoulin Kempo practitioner myself so I have interest in Shotokan because we have some of that mixed in our basics, such as our beginning forms etc. I practiced tae kwon do as a youth which then it was low stances and a much harder style than what you see today due to becoming an Olympic sport with walking stances etc. my Sensi from then put kickboxing on the map in our area and produced a couple multi time weight class world champions. Again this is a great channel I appreciate it and support it fully so keep up the good work and stay Blessed!

    I loved how concisely and matter of fact you were in your explanation of Kenpo and Ed Parker. Very informative.
    In Sensei Yusuke’s video, you showed a stack of Kenpo books. I’m familiar with the insights series, which you showed, but what are the thicker volumes? I always love reading anything Kenpo I can get my hands on and I’d love to know what those were.
    Thank you!

    • @ArtofOneDojo

      The thicker books I showed were a series of books by Leo Lacerte. They are out of print and really hard to find now (I had to order them from Amazon UK and Spain) but they are fantastically detailed. He wrote them as manuals to teach the material and the amount of detail he put into writing them is insane. Here is a Goodreads link to the first one, but like I said they are getting hard to find.
