I remember Onaga sensei telling this story when he visited our dojo back in the day: when he and Senaha sensei were boys they'd sneak to each other's dojos to watch their "rival" schools train in secret. Senaha sensei got caught one day and his punishment was to clean the Shorin dojo's floors by himself. How cool that they were boyhood friends who eventually became the heads of their respective schools and remained friends throughout their lives.
her form and way she displays the kata its just amazing. You can feel the power coming from every move and strike she does. I love seeing kata's done this way instead of you seeing someone doing it just fast. I like how every move and position has a purpose. Like my sensei told me one's many people think a kata is just something fancy to show but you'll be wrong all has a meaning and a reason to be the way it is.
@@1x1HealthyEnergybyAndrew My sensei is Richard triplet he study under shihan gordan doversola. The style is call Okinawa-te karate. When you perform a katana your picturing a person in front of you and doing each strike and block and kick as if you were sparring with this person. That's what they are are doing when they do each strike and move which some can be a take down or a block or strike. There are a few videos where they brake down the kata for you and show you what each move is and does. I just dont like seeing when they do forms so fast they lose their purpose.
Thank you very very much for this I was once a student of Uechi ryu this is very enlightening to see the meaning of the movements it means very much to me!
One of my favorite videos on the youtube. Brings back memories of meeting Onaga and Seneha senseis in Vancouver in the 90s. Interesting how much Shorin and Goju emphasize hip action and the near absence of it in Uechi-ryu.
not all goju, if it's masaji taira sensei of the Okinawa Gojuryu Kenkyu Kai, then yes. check his videos out on youtube, when i trained shinjinbukan my sensei said that taira sensei, along with onaga sensei were some of the only few okinawan masters that have preserved their 'ti' and the old ways. though their styles differ of course
very much true. i've studied shinjinbukan, albeit for a short while, but i can tell you that there is SO much depth to it. very technical indeed -- from your toes/feet all the way to your hands, the form has to be perfect.
i've read that other okinawan masters have remarked that michiko's kata and form are flawless. i'll never get used to that kick at starting at that angle haha
I remember my sensei who had trained with Michiko said that when she hit the makiwara, it made a sound like a rifle shot. He had never heard anyone else make it sound like that. And she could kick above your head from neko dachi while holding onto your gi with both hands.
It's my understanding that I'm not all the weapons were meant to be lethal from the get-go. Some of them were meant to be handy like the boat oar or kamas. They were meant to be lethal but they were also used because they were handy. What if pirates attack you know when you're on your boat? You might only have a boat oar and your net. What if they sneak ashore when you're harvesting your grain? Or processing it with your rice flail?Some were meant to be less than lethal tools for policing like the sai or tonfa. Maybe you don't have to kill everyone that commits a crime, maybe just a poke to the chest and a strong smack to the head or hooking a leg is enough. Certainly modern police found the tonfa for pretty useful, even if they usually don't know how to use it right and just swing it like a club. The bo or staff could easily be topped off with a spearhead which is probably the most lethal thing in all of human history. Okay maybe not more lethal than like an AR-15 but it's probably still killed more people than the AR-15. Certainly it would have been a very dangerous weapon on any medieval or ancient battlefield. In fact they saw plenty of use all the way up to the 1800s. In fact if you stick a knife on the end of your AR-15 or "bayonet" it's kind of still a spear.... But you don't always have to use the pointy end and training the bo without the pointy end certainly doesn't hurt you when you make the end pointy. The only weapons that are missing for most karate students are the sword and shield. Okinawan shields were probably derived from the turtle shell as they kind of maintained that shape even into the Middle ages and the sword was kind of like a machete shape. You would hold it very much like you hold the tonfa against your arm. So I don't think all the tools were derived from farming implements that sounds like Japanese mainland propaganda. Some of them were certainly adaptations of tools that would be handy but only ones that were practical as weapons and still quite dangerous. Not unlike the famous spetsnaz shovel. However it's not true for all of them especially something like the tonfa which was probably still and always meant to be a police baton.
Thanks for sharing this! Good quality and subtitled. But, its not "complete" since que original japanese edition has 3 more minutes. As far as I have seen this, the 3 missing minutes here are from Onaga Yoshimitsu's life philosophy, and the relatad escene were he is praying at a Chhristian church. Western "censorship"?

10:29, I've often wondered about using the back of a fist I imagine it would break the small bones in my hand.. Then again I'm no fighter, so what do I know
DJ that's cool I read your comment at this time, because my wife and I are in our mid-40s, we're both taking a form of Okinawan karate shorin-ryu. She was recently in a situation where she was afraid for her life, while driving her car and using the back fist was one option she thought of.
@@stephencheney4470 agreed, I'm working on this particular technique as well. as I practice more, I notice it's getting easier or maybe I should say more natural to strike with those main knuckles instead of the entire surface.
Hi Plen122, You both are starting Shorin-ryu in mid-age? You both must have been doing some other art to keep your fitness and flexibility. For car danger you require the self defense version of your art, deadly strikes to deadly targets. Nearest weapon to nearest target. In a car a backfist is limited due to space and obstacles, elbow (Hiji) strikes should be considered. A backfist is an expected strike in Karate and when seen easily blocked. To avoid blocking when facing an opponent start with your forearm horizontal across your chest and they will expect a strike along that plane and mind-prepare to block it. As you strike circle your forearm around your elbow and deliver a forearm-vertical backfist strike to the third eye or philtrum point. The power comes mainly from your hip twist and ends in the whipping motion of your arm. My respects to you both for taking up a martial art and to your teacher who will enjoy training you.
@@stephencheney4470 thanks! I am really bad at keeping up with my fitness, plus I have a desk job, so I'm fairly out of shape. So it's been helping me a lot. Believe me, Im nowhere near any kind of mastery in technique, so for me right now it's just for me stay in shape and like I said, has been increasing my flexibility.. That being said, I enjoy watching videos of those very good at technique, so I have certainly seen the benefit, and am working on that.
this is late but: shorin ryu is the parent style of shinjinbukan, the style that's being shown in the video. shorin ryu is one of the oldest okinawan styles and has direct lineage from shuri ti/suidii which was what they called their empty hand technique that was developed in the capital city shuri of the then ryukyuan kingdom (before japan took it over). shorinji kempo, i believe, is a completely different style. don't know much about it. there's also shorinji kempo. both aforementioned styles claim some sort of history to the shaolin temple, shorin ryu was called that because it just looked like 'china-hand'. my history is rusty but... yeah. there are tons of styles that most ppl don't have a clue about lol.
I agree, he seems like a really good teacher. In fact all the teachers not only have excellent credentials but can also put their teachings into practice, which i like!
My dad and a few others from my school went to Okinawa and got their 1st dans from Onaga sensei. I had the opportunity too as well but being a stupid kid at the time couldn't care less about karate. Part of me regrets not going for the experience, but in hindsight I didn't deserve it because my heart wasn't into it.
it's such an in depth-style. unfortunately i had to quit because i was in college and i couldn't juggle training and studying. it demands strict technical execution and inner biomechanics that you don't really see in alot of other karate styles. kung fu, maybe... anyways, we studied the shorin ryu curriculum, yes, but we glued it all together with onaga sensei's 'ti'. it's a very rare style and lineage, check out the kyudokan the style onaga sensei was trained in. onaga took what he learned and put his own twist on it. both kyudokan and shinjinbukan are relatively uknown outside of okinawa.
They are two different worlds. MMA is combat sport. Karate is martial art. The first looks into ego and rage. Tue second is a way of living discovering our limitations and finding peace ultimately. This is my opinion of course as a karate practitioner and Okinawa enthusiast.
They don't start taking over MMA. Period. But an MMA fighter that gets tagged from strikers and resorts to hugfests all the time can always learn some karate.

偶に空手は中国拳法のパクリだなんて言う輩が居るんだけど、琉球に入ってきた中国武術を唐手（沖縄方言でトウディー）、沖縄に元々あった手（ティー）と言う武術を沖縄手（ウチナーディー）と言って区別されてて、唐手（カラテと読む、日本統治以後に空手と改称されたとの事）自体は比較的最近の武術であって、沖縄には元々土着の武術があったのは確実だと思うんだよ。
実際、中国に渡った佐久川という空手家の方が中国武術を唐手として琉球に持ってきたと言う証言もあるし、第一中国武術の動きと沖縄の空手は明らかに別物だからルーツの違いは確実だと思う。
