I have learnt shukokai karate a long time ago and got only to 1st kyu.... I regretted not going for my black belt but this style is terrific! I can't find any good online lessons on this style...
I love Uechi ryu and have trained in it for many years but the takedown in the dan kumite is the only thing resembling grappling that I can think of off the top of my head.
Thank you for sharing the nice film. Btw, yakusoku kumite might be more accurate to be translated as pre-arranged kumite rather than promised kumite :).
One of the hallmarks of a REAL karate blackbelt is distance control and footwork. Real blackbelts don't allow ANYONE (who they deem a threat) to get close enough to them to attack w/o the attacker having to EXTEND themselves to do so. If this is allowed, you've pretty much already lost unless you have really good boxing skills.

It’s just a translation error. Kumite is literally translated in English as promised grappling or grappling hands. It’s correct translation is sparring.
Some of those are just not practical, for so many reasons. What happens when you meet a somewhat well-rounded mixed martial artist? Karate must change with the times.
Why would a well rounded mixed martial artist attack you?? Are you provoking people? Do you think these "experts" learn martial arts just to assault people? REAL KARATE is for self defense of your LIFE on the street! Not for bar room brawling because someone "insulted you". GROW the FK UP!
inorder to understand "uechi ryu" karate you need to study it. these are some pre arranged things in uechi ryu syllabus , various strikes are included in it. You are supposed to break down it and use the one which is suitable according to the situation
wado ryu in the UK is dead , there is no sensei that has enough authentic training like in the 80s when sensei takamizawa was here [RIP] save wado ryu in UK BY INTRODUCING JAPANESE SENSEI.
Correct me if I'm wrong but this great for training and good competition but not good enough for a street fight. I think a mma fighter would beat this. Let me know
@@killersalmon4359 yea but the thing is,is this is not the way of triditional karate,this is not karate jitsu at all,if u look at the text of the old masters of karate for example,Kenwa Mabuni,Choki Motobu and Gichin funakashi they disgrace this type of karate,Karate Kata is filled with practical grappling moves and attacks,Somehow when karate was changed by the Japanese it effective the masters In Okinawa as well,here’s a video on practical applications and no,these moves did not come from Judo or jiu jitsu,but karate itself
An mma fighter would absolutely beat this, but that's not why its bad, you don't need to be able to beat a pro fighter to defend yourself. Its bad because literally no one will ever punch this way if they attack you.
The fact you think you will be getting in a street fight with an mma fighter is comical at best. They dont go around looking for fights on the street. They train in a gym and fight in a cage. Your average street fight is against dummies with block heads that throw only hooks. This "MMA would beat this attitude is getting pretty old. Okinawan karate was not designed for sport or to be pretty. It was designed to protect and to be quick, effective and deadly. Uechi-ryu and Shorin-ryu would be highly effective in a street fight
Real fights don’t move this slow though . If I grab their hand they just don’t stand there , just saying . 🤷🏽♂️ Edit : The white pajama Society seems to have been offended by me stating this as a simulation. This video was in my Recommendations . I clicked , so I commented . It is a simulation. They are practicing . If you say otherwise you are lying to yourself. I never said karate itself is a simulation, a show , a dance , prop. In my opinion it depends on the person: person’s sheer will . You guys practice for sport , for fun , for whatever reason. Have you ever seen someone beat to near death , or nearly been beaten to death ? Why I’m telling you the real deal everything goes , happens fast .
Real fighters wouldn't never made this comment because all of them in the beginning were training this slow. Its how your mind acquires knowledge you need to fight full speed.i train boxe since childhood, 4 years in traditional karaté shito ruy and then changed do muy Thai/kickboxing.and i still do some exercises in normal rithm especially if my train partner is a rookie. Never jump steps of the learning processes.even in sparring you must do it with different levels of speed and intensity,from slow to maximum speed, in order to have a proper development.
Once you become trained , you just react, of course the way they train is not the way a real street fight will be, but training helps you react to different situations.
That’s the fake bullshit teachers out there’s fault, for creating skepticism . You can berate me all you want . Can’t deny this is a simulation . Yes captain obvious I’m not a fighter like you see those on tv , and I do not train. Real fights people aren’t going let you perform your simulation; wether effective or not , everything happens fast everything goes. Just saying . I can see why you get offended . With all the different styles and me discrediting yours . I would love to see these “experts” do a real fight . It ends up looking like a fight between 2 untrained people and not like in the movies . Is what I’m trying to say .
Muay thai...maybe? Boxing.....I'll break your knee or kick you in the nuts before you ever get close enough to hit me. EVERYTIME I've ever attempted to spar with a trained boxer (quite a few times) the first thing they say is.."no kicking". I say....well good luck with an experienced streetfighter. Because the first thing they're going to do is kick you in the NUTS!
Uechi Ryu + Kodokan Judo make well rounded human weapon for unarmed defense.
