Not gonna lie, this changed how I think about posture and striking in general. It makes sense. You basically anchor yourself so the energy expended goes forward only. No "recoil". It isn't just about followthrough. That base is crucial. As a boxer, it seems wrong to plant your feet like that in a fight but after following along and channeling the force through my back as instructed, the power was extremely evident. I still don't know how useful it is in a fight but there is something to this.
Breaking my right power hand 3x is the best thing that ever happened to me Led to a combined year over a decade of learning to throw nothing besides a lead left which now hits just as hard
0:48 he is fighting Taut Sniukas from Lithuania. I trained with him and learnt a lot. That guy is one hard and skilled Shinkyokushin Kai. Taunts left hand Shita tsuki dropped many people in our dojo in Sydney. If he bested Taut… he is truly talented and powerful
I think Tai Ki Ken/Yi Quan has a similar method to stretch the body (you train Zhan Zhuang for it). When you perform Shi-Li you should sense the change
Thank you so much for sharing this exercise to understand the fundamentals. As I tried it out, I saw that it actually started to resemble the mildly arched-forward posture found in boxing. I always thought it was more to enlarge and engage the back muscles but after this, I see why boxers who also (knowingly or unknowingly) do this, hit so hard!!
I guess that this is like comparing lifting a 5kg chain lying on the floor vs a 5kg steel bar. When you lift the chain, you are only liftinh part of it as many of the chain's links will be resting on the floor, while with the steel bar, you either lift all the mass, or you dont
I think you're right. The weight of a person will not increase if you tighten your muscles. That would be obvious if you stand on a scale and compare lol.
As for solving your broken finger issue... you should start out by doing bare knuckle pushups. If its too painful to do normal pushups, start by leaning forwards into a wall... resting on the fist/knuckles... for an extended period of time. After you get to the point where its not such an issue... you can do pushups with the Knee-Cheat. This will reduce the amount of mass that would normally be on top of your bare fist. You should first try this on a carpeted floor. But when you get better... you would do them over a solid hardwood floor, or concrete surface. Once your fists can endure planks and or pushups for extended periods of time... you can start to hit a wall mounted Sandbag. Fill it with Coarse grain sand from the Beach (do not use Play-Sand, as its too fine, and will create dust that lingers in the air for hours. If breathed in, it can cause cancer, later in life. Coarse grain sand will not do this). The sandbags are very different from standard heavy bags. They will conform to the shape of your knuckles... but right after that, the sand will become hard like a rock. Since the wall isnt going to move... and the bag has already become solid... that means that all of your power will be reflected back Into your own fist and body structure. This will strengthen you, internally, from your fist, to your feet. Its also far more realistic, as it is very similar to hitting an actual muscular body, that is charging you. A body isnt like a soft heavy bag. Its dense, and heavy... and often moving at speed.. into you. I also recommend getting some traditional all natural Chinese Iron Fist Lineament, called: "Dit Da Jow" . It helps prevent injuries, as well as eliminates any swelling, in less than 5 min of its application. It also helps heal + repair + build your fists to higher levels of density, in a MUCH faster timeframe. I believe WLE (website) sells the real deal. I used to get mine from a shop, that got it directly shipped from a Chinese Herbalist shop, in NYC. The stuff was a Miracle in a Bottle. There is nothing else like it. While Ive never had an issue with my fingers, other than getting a few Jammed fingers, or having the Hyper Extended from foolishly having them fanned apart... I did roll my ankle 90 degrees. It took a long time to heal... and maybe 3 months in, it would re-injure itself. I decided that I had enough of it, after like the 2nd re-injury, and so I spent an hour every night, doing very painful stretches on it... to the point where tears would stream down my face. I did this for at least 30 consecutive days. After that period, my ankle had regained its 95% of its range of motion, and, it has Never re-injured since. I also once torn something inside of my shoulder... causing me to lose the ability to raise my arm past abdomen height, without crippling pain. I used a similar recovery effort.. doing daily range of motion drills.. every night, for probably 30 min long sessions. I regained full range of motion... and never had to go to the hospital over it. Someone I met, described the same injury, and told me that he had to get surgery to fix the problem.
That was extremely interesting! Obviously, a lot of practice with this body structure would have to be done to make your techniques work without thought, but that is true of getting good at anything. I wonder how he teaches his group classes, that is one thing with so much detail having to be shown so people can understand what they need to be doing. Also, one thing coming from a fitness background i know so many people especially in Western countries have very tight Psoas muscles since they spend so much time sitting, so that is something that would be an issue. Finally, my last thought was looking at the comments, i knew there would be know-it-alls who wouldn't take the time to understand what was being taught or wouldn't bother keeping their minds open and no surprise i wasn't wrong about that either ha ha ha
Great video with very interesting parts, I definitely want to learn more from both instructors. In the physical rehab world, especially for back pain/body mechanics I tend to teach this type of concept as a "long/tall spine" and then lining your ribs/diaphragm up with your pelvis, its a very simple way to achieve this solid structure and then dynamic application from there.
This is known as fa jin in many Southern Chinese martial arts. There are qigong exercises to help develop this kind of power. Ba duan jin is the sequence I practise most often, but I've heard that yi jin jing is also helpful.
The way I learned the posture for this was to think of my head as the center of being, have my knees slightly bent with legs shoulder width, and while keeping head and position letting my body relax and stretch. Sort of like if I were a marionette. As for striking, my Sifu says to think of your hands like rocks at the end of ropes and your body is throwing the rocks.
This is basic internal strength "structure". It's central to the "internal" martial arts of China - Ba Gua, Hsing I, Tai Chi. It creates the "Iron shirt" or "golden bell cover" type of protection and allows fa jin weighted strikes.The basic chi gong practice to develop this is standing meditation Zhan Zhuang. Good video!
I have been practicing an internal martial art for over 30 years, so I was familiar with the principle. What is new to me, however, is the way to learn it in this way I think this is great and I thank you for your kindness in generously making this available to the martial arts community. 🙏
this fraction of Shutetsu teaching automatically reminded me of Miyahira Tamotsu sensei's technique and the Taichi theory I've read.. I guess this is another proof that at the summit, all martial arts boils down to the same thing.
Add the ability to activate this muscle with the double hip movement from Higa Sensei and I think you will create the ultimate punching movement :D I think I use this muscle without realizing it. Very interesting video!!
This is same as what's done in wing chun. Taigong + dangtau = retract the anus (or lift the pelvic floor) + lift the head (as if the top of head is pulled up by a string). Taigong tightens the inner core, freeing your outer core muscles to relax, allowing your tailbone to drop. Dangtau expands and elongates the spine. Stretch and open all joints in your kinetic chain so there is no tension that breaks your body unity.
Yes that's exactly what I attempted to learn when I was a teen. I posted in the main comments about my sensei when I lived in Beaumont Texas. If I remember correctly it was Wing Chun. Don't quote me on that but I think it was. The sensei was Greg Dorsey. He's still around I believe. If you look up Greg Dorsey in Beaumont Texas you'll find him. I still have lots of respect for him and I only attended classes for about 2 years. I miss those days. I'm old and worn out but i still love martial arts. It really helped me turn my life around as a teen going down the wrong path.
When I was much younger I practiced with a Kung Fu sensei, Greg Dorsey in Beaumont Texas. You can Google him. Anyway he tried to help me so much with similar principles and I never improved much as time went by. For whatever reason I just never could be consistent. But I still enjoyed practicing and it was really awesome to see others actually do it correctly. Great video!
I'd like to see the science behind the beginning of the video. As in, without altering the body's mass, how is the physical weight increased? Or is it the view that the body isn't actually heavier, but it's repositioning of the limbs cause the center of gravity to be shifted and thus more difficult to lift from the belt area?
If he is using the muscle he claims then my guess is that when lifting there normally you only lift the body weight, but when using the muscle you pull your body together, so it's like preventing your body from being stretched. It's like pulling somebody by the arm when they are relaxed and when they are using their arm/back muscles to prevent being pulled
Well, the problem with that analogy is that when you are pulling someone horizontally, whether they are relaxed or tense, they are standing on the ground and can use the friction to increase resistance and counter the pulling action. For example, if each person was holding opposite ends of a spring scale, when one person pulls, the other can brace against the ground and the resistance can be measured and can fluctuate depending on how tense or relaxed they are. When lifting a person up, there is nothing for the person to use as resistance to counter the upwards force. If the person is being suspended above the ground by a spring scale, the measurement will not change regardless of how tense or relaxed they are. It seems that by shifting the center of gravity, it simply makes it more awkward to lift from that specific point.
For example, it's easy to lift the middle of the chain. However, if it were an iron bar of the same weight, it would require more force to lift it the same way. Sorry for the automatic translation
All of these movements, striking,balance,posture,motion,softness of strike,correct bone alinement,speed,flow,power,1 inch punch and transfer of qi.. you will find here in the states Moores Shou shu Stockton ca Da-shifu Parkins and many more Blackbelts
Watching the lift exercise especially made me think that a good exercise to help you to learn how to use the right muscles would be Superman pushups. Lay down on your stomach with your hand straight above your head. You can have them almost touching or however you think of Superman flying. Your feet are on the floor on the balls of the foot as you would be for regular pushups. Now, keeping your arms straight, no bending at the elbow, do a push up. Easy. Okay, it is not easy. It took me a while to learn them. I started off with the "girl's version". Hand straight above my head and on my knees. That made it quite a bit easier an taught me which muscles to use.
Originally called Dim Mak (death touch) and was discovered by tai chi practitioners and ever since many different arts and styles have developed their own approach to vital point striking. Now we have Kyusho Juitzu which is the art of vital point striking with a karate approach. The human body has 365 vital points that can be struck but, there’s a lot to it like, the time of day and your opponents anatomy play big roles in its effectiveness not to mention all of the conditioning needed to make it effective. I have the encyclopedia of dim mark volume 1&2 and used to study their locations and effects but, unless you have someone to train with it’s hard to learn on your own. For me I got lucky and a customer gave me a mannequin that I applied different colored stickers to that represented the points and meridians but, the stickers started falling off after a while. It would be nice to get back to it though
@@houseofaction if done right of course they do. Have you ever seen someone barely get hit on their jaw joint and get ko’d? That’s because, stomach 4 was activated; it’s often called the button. Ever seen someone go down from a liver shot? If the hit was on the side that was liver 13 activated. If the hit was straight on then, that was liver 14 activated. The thing about pressure points is everyone’s anatomy is slightly different and depending on their physic certain points can be harder to get to not to mention just to activate you not only need the right angle but, also timing as meridians (nerve stems) are effected more by the time of day. Pressure points striking is hitting the opponents nerves and the pressure point it’s self is the point where the nerve is closest to the skin and to activate you typically want to stretch it preferably across bone. Fighters say they don’t work because, they’re not always easy to get to. Most are hard to activate because, to do so you have to move in an awkward way that most are used to moving but, with practice pressure points can be quite effective. My doctor hit one in my neck one time where I had pinched the nerve and my arm and fingers were numb and he didn’t miss. In fact when I was first studying then I was using a wash cloth over the point to best avoid hurting myself and I stretched a spleen point in my leg and sure enough I felt it in my spleen. Nerve strikes work you just need to know what you’re doing and be conditioned to do it properly
In SKIF shotokan we work on yo-tanden, chu-tanden and seika-tanden... mastering moving your center of gravity vertically through these will make you unliftable like he was.
The same principals are used in european swordsmanship. The focus is to keep the hips tilted forward to engage those muscles and to channel your force through to the ground as opposed to your shoulders or hips.
Along those lines, if you are able to stand, a physical therapist may be able to help you hip hinge - You will probably want a physical therapist who got his Ph.D. in lower back or hip improvement... The key is to find a medical professional who understands the term, "Hip hinging" ... and not one that asks you what you mean. [Hip hinging, especially in martial arts, trains you to move and derive power by rotating and bending at the hip joints, instead of bending or rotating the back. It takes some training, but can generate mobility and force.]
Force, speed and ‘snap’ are the three basic physical elements required for an effective punch that takes proper training to master. Okinawan Shorin Ryu Karate!
I think you should traing and practice like basketball player and stick together both fingers (broken with non broken) with a glue elastic band, or similar to balance the weight received in the finger. I broke my fingers playing basketball and this was the way to continue playing even with broken fingers.
Is this striking method similar to the punching/striking style of Sensei Kiyoshi Arakaki of Muso Kai Karate??? I think the Arakaki method might be to compress the diaphragm instead of stretching the diaphragm as shown by Fujiwara Sensei!!!
Neither of them have original ideas so I don't know how good the video would be. That is only half a criticism, they are good communicators and bring knowledge to a wider audience, but they are rarely inventing things, it's better that they provide a platform for others
Congratulations. You just learned the basic body structure of Chinese internal martial arts. Tai Ji Quan, Ba Gua Zhang, Xing Yi Quan, et. al. are all based on these principles.
I think somebody might not know what Karate Do ShotoKai is. It relies in those principles. And remember, Karate was brought from China to Okinawa and then updated to what we know as modern karate, by G. Funakoshi. Then, S. Egami incorporated these principles of elasticity and penetration for ShotoKai. That being said, we need to be respectful with all martial arts styles, because all of them have a reason to exist and history.
I worked with a 58 year old site foreman while I was on a framing crew. He never had a single martial art lesson, yet he was one of the rare individuals who could bury a nine-penny nail in one blow without fail. He could 'throw his tape measure at around twelve feet and maintain rigidity, carry a six-stack of ten ft 2x4 (and his mag77 saw) up a ladder while never missing what was going on around him. Clearly he was an old pro, but his experience taught him how to focus energy, maximize power, maintain balance, and increase economy of movement and space. "...Everything is Kung Fu."
If a body weights like 150 lbs... its not easily moved if the person is unconscious (dead weight), because the mass is like a unified balloon of water. In this case, it seems that he may be becoming completely Rigid, in order to Unify the body mass. The traditional Chinese method, is to become completely relaxed. It takes some time, to develop this kind of skill, as we tend to naturally have some Tension in our movements... and have some degree of "Disjointed" movement sequences.
When you're not tense, the body is more difficult to lift. It didn't become physically heavier. The body is relaxed but not limp. A better word for it is "loose" or, in Japanese, yurui 緩い. The body is still connected from top to bottom, not being limp but not being tense either.
hi sensei, I apologize for the question which is not very relevant to the vdc concert.. if it is possible to know, the respective styles of karate.. thanks in advance for your possible answer.. I greet you, be well & see you next time.. osu ... 🙂🙃😉/✨🏮🤍🎍🎎⛩️🥋🎏❤️🏮✨/👍✌🏿👌🏻👋🏽
Thank you all for watching the video!
The possibilities of the human body are endless!
I hope it is useful to you!
Sensei...where are the rest of the break down videos 😊
Not gonna lie, this changed how I think about posture and striking in general. It makes sense. You basically anchor yourself so the energy expended goes forward only. No "recoil". It isn't just about followthrough. That base is crucial. As a boxer, it seems wrong to plant your feet like that in a fight but after following along and channeling the force through my back as instructed, the power was extremely evident. I still don't know how useful it is in a fight but there is something to this.
I'm a boxer too..seems like flat footed non moving foot
This is astounding! This has been popping up in my home page for days! I'm glad that I decided to take time out to watch it!
Breaking my right power hand 3x is the best thing that ever happened to me
Led to a combined year over a decade of learning to throw nothing besides a lead left which now hits just as hard
0:48 he is fighting Taut Sniukas from Lithuania. I trained with him and learnt a lot. That guy is one hard and skilled Shinkyokushin Kai. Taunts left hand Shita tsuki dropped many people in our dojo in Sydney. If he bested Taut… he is truly talented and powerful
I think Tai Ki Ken/Yi Quan has a similar method to stretch the body (you train Zhan Zhuang for it). When you perform Shi-Li you should sense the change
Thank you so much for sharing this exercise to understand the fundamentals. As I tried it out, I saw that it actually started to resemble the mildly arched-forward posture found in boxing. I always thought it was more to enlarge and engage the back muscles but after this, I see why boxers who also (knowingly or unknowingly) do this, hit so hard!!
I guess that this is like comparing lifting a 5kg chain lying on the floor vs a 5kg steel bar. When you lift the chain, you are only liftinh part of it as many of the chain's links will be resting on the floor, while with the steel bar, you either lift all the mass, or you dont
I think you're right. The weight of a person will not increase if you tighten your muscles. That would be obvious if you stand on a scale and compare lol.
As for solving your broken finger issue... you should start out by doing bare knuckle pushups. If its too painful to do normal pushups, start by leaning forwards into a wall... resting on the fist/knuckles... for an extended period of time. After you get to the point where its not such an issue... you can do pushups with the Knee-Cheat. This will reduce the amount of mass that would normally be on top of your bare fist. You should first try this on a carpeted floor. But when you get better... you would do them over a solid hardwood floor, or concrete surface.
Once your fists can endure planks and or pushups for extended periods of time... you can start to hit a wall mounted Sandbag. Fill it with Coarse grain sand from the Beach (do not use Play-Sand, as its too fine, and will create dust that lingers in the air for hours. If breathed in, it can cause cancer, later in life. Coarse grain sand will not do this). The sandbags are very different from standard heavy bags. They will conform to the shape of your knuckles... but right after that, the sand will become hard like a rock. Since the wall isnt going to move... and the bag has already become solid... that means that all of your power will be reflected back Into your own fist and body structure. This will strengthen you, internally, from your fist, to your feet. Its also far more realistic, as it is very similar to hitting an actual muscular body, that is charging you. A body isnt like a soft heavy bag. Its dense, and heavy... and often moving at speed.. into you.
I also recommend getting some traditional all natural Chinese Iron Fist Lineament, called: "Dit Da Jow" . It helps prevent injuries, as well as eliminates any swelling, in less than 5 min of its application. It also helps heal + repair + build your fists to higher levels of density, in a MUCH faster timeframe. I believe WLE (website) sells the real deal. I used to get mine from a shop, that got it directly shipped from a Chinese Herbalist shop, in NYC. The stuff was a Miracle in a Bottle. There is nothing else like it.
While Ive never had an issue with my fingers, other than getting a few Jammed fingers, or having the Hyper Extended from foolishly having them fanned apart... I did roll my ankle 90 degrees.

I decided that I had enough of it, after like the 2nd re-injury, and so I spent an hour every night, doing very painful stretches on it... to the point where tears would stream down my face. I did this for at least 30 consecutive days. After that period, my ankle had regained its 95% of its range of motion, and, it has Never re-injured since.
I also once torn something inside of my shoulder... causing me to lose the ability to raise my arm past abdomen height, without crippling pain. I used a similar recovery effort.. doing daily range of motion drills.. every night, for probably 30 min long sessions. I regained full range of motion... and never had to go to the hospital over it. Someone I met, described the same injury, and told me that he had to get surgery to fix the problem.

Awesome information that answers many years of questions I've had!!!
Thank you!!!
That’s awesome! Bring him back more! Very clean explanation! And it’s doing good for you too
Great video with very interesting parts, I definitely want to learn more from both instructors. In the physical rehab world, especially for back pain/body mechanics I tend to teach this type of concept as a "long/tall spine" and then lining your ribs/diaphragm up with your pelvis, its a very simple way to achieve this solid structure and then dynamic application from there.
This technique is done quite frequently In okinawan karate styles and also in traditional jujutsu
Thanks for posting such a great video! 😊
I love it , I like his teaching style very much too
Very interesting and profound. One of your very best videos to date. Thank you. 👍

黒帯が綺麗なのがとても嬉しいです。前に立つ指導員、演舞、審判員などでポロポロの黒帯を見ると伝統武術を修してる者として色々考えさせられます。松濤館でも少しは議論がある様ですが、昔の空手家の写真では帯はたいてい綺麗ですし、侍、武士の心持ち、礼と言うことを、ながのさんの様なお若い世代に大切にしていただきたいです。
外国の方向けにお作りの動画で帯が綺麗で本当に嬉しかったです。感謝。

What is new to me, however, is the way to learn it in this way
I think this is great and I thank you for your kindness in generously making this available to the martial arts community. 🙏
This was great and informative
You're a regular Mr. Miyagi! Good content! I never heard of this. But, we did sit ups and Sanchin to take strikes.
this fraction of Shutetsu teaching automatically reminded me of Miyahira Tamotsu sensei's technique and the Taichi theory I've read.. I guess this is another proof that at the summit, all martial arts boils down to the same thing.
Harry Houdini died this way. Famously, he'd let people punch him. This time, the guy went before he was ready. Be careful Sensei!
Yeah, and he didn't only get hit without warning, he also got hit like 4 or 5 times. Uncool
Add the ability to activate this muscle with the double hip movement from Higa Sensei and I think you will create the ultimate punching movement :D
I think I use this muscle without realizing it.
Very interesting video!!
Looking forward to the tutorial video!
This is same as what's done in wing chun. Taigong + dangtau = retract the anus (or lift the pelvic floor) + lift the head (as if the top of head is pulled up by a string).
Taigong tightens the inner core, freeing your outer core muscles to relax, allowing your tailbone to drop.
Dangtau expands and elongates the spine.
Stretch and open all joints in your kinetic chain so there is no tension that breaks your body unity.
Yes that's exactly what I attempted to learn when I was a teen. I posted in the main comments about my sensei when I lived in Beaumont Texas. If I remember correctly it was Wing Chun.

Anyway he tried to help me so much with similar principles and I never improved much as time went by. For whatever reason I just never could be consistent. But I still enjoyed practicing and it was really awesome to see others actually do it correctly. Great video!
Taiji basics! ;) good stuff
I mean, you're right but that's in most Chinese martial arts, not just Taijiquan
Well done, earned a sub!
Hi Sensei! Could you perhaps take a look into the world of Wing Chun Kung Fu & Choi Li Fut? Much respect! 👊🥋
Huh... i think this is the next technique as must i learn.. ... :) This video was very helpfull to me. Thank you Yusuke!
One of the best videos i've ever seen.
This looks like internal training from Kung fu. Impressive.
I'd like to see the science behind the beginning of the video.

It seems that by shifting the center of gravity, it simply makes it more awkward to lift from that specific point.
For example, it's easy to lift the middle of the chain. However, if it were an iron bar of the same weight, it would require more force to lift it the same way.

Where is the link to your seminars in North America?
Excperience what yuou can do with les power, less contact and less motion by applying the biomechanical process of the human body
More please on how to practice this, thank you
All of these movements, striking,balance,posture,motion,softness of strike,correct bone alinement,speed,flow,power,1 inch punch and transfer of qi.. you will find here in the states Moores Shou shu Stockton ca Da-shifu Parkins and many more Blackbelts
chi doesn't exist
How do you train this solo?
I actually want to see if I can apply this to something outside of martial arts.
THANKS SENSEI OSU
Watching the lift exercise especially made me think that a good exercise to help you to learn how to use the right muscles would be Superman pushups. Lay down on your stomach with your hand straight above your head. You can have them almost touching or however you think of Superman flying. Your feet are on the floor on the balls of the foot as you would be for regular pushups. Now, keeping your arms straight, no bending at the elbow, do a push up. Easy.
Okay, it is not easy. It took me a while to learn them. I started off with the "girl's version". Hand straight above my head and on my knees. That made it quite a bit easier an taught me which muscles to use.
It's like reinventing the wheel. This technique is straight from taijutsu as well.
Originally called Dim Mak (death touch) and was discovered by tai chi practitioners and ever since many different arts and styles have developed their own approach to vital point striking. Now we have Kyusho Juitzu which is the art of vital point striking with a karate approach.

I have the encyclopedia of dim mark volume 1&2 and used to study their locations and effects but, unless you have someone to train with it’s hard to learn on your own. For me I got lucky and a customer gave me a mannequin that I applied different colored stickers to that represented the points and meridians but, the stickers started falling off after a while. It would be nice to get back to it though
pressure point techniques do not work and have never worked
@@houseofaction if done right of course they do. Have you ever seen someone barely get hit on their jaw joint and get ko’d? That’s because, stomach 4 was activated; it’s often called the button.

Fighters say they don’t work because, they’re not always easy to get to. Most are hard to activate because, to do so you have to move in an awkward way that most are used to moving but, with practice pressure points can be quite effective.
My doctor hit one in my neck one time where I had pinched the nerve and my arm and fingers were numb and he didn’t miss. In fact when I was first studying then I was using a wash cloth over the point to best avoid hurting myself and I stretched a spleen point in my leg and sure enough I felt it in my spleen.
Nerve strikes work you just need to know what you’re doing and be conditioned to do it properly
Naoya Inoue is probably the strongest puncher in Japan right now
In SKIF shotokan we work on yo-tanden, chu-tanden and seika-tanden... mastering moving your center of gravity vertically through these will make you unliftable like he was.
Thank you
I missed the name of the muscle he said runs from the spine to legs??thx
Amazing
The subtleties never end ...
The same principals are used in european swordsmanship. The focus is to keep the hips tilted forward to engage those muscles and to channel your force through to the ground as opposed to your shoulders or hips.
Fascinating
now this is something i could maybe use in my wheelchair. i will just need to be carefull as i have extreme pain in my back
Along those lines, if you are able to stand, a physical therapist may be able to help you hip hinge - You will probably want a physical therapist who got his Ph.D. in lower back or hip improvement... The key is to find a medical professional who understands the term, "Hip hinging" ... and not one that asks you what you mean. [Hip hinging, especially in martial arts, trains you to move and derive power by rotating and bending at the hip joints, instead of bending or rotating the back. It takes some training, but can generate mobility and force.]
Chu Shong Tin wing Chun really focus on this 'rising of the spine' element.
Amazing!!!
Force, speed and ‘snap’ are the three basic physical elements required for an effective punch that takes proper training to master. Okinawan Shorin Ryu Karate!
And that hip movement
🙂🙏🏽
どおもありがとうございました❗ ブラジルからですよ❤
Awesome.
I think you should traing and practice like basketball player and stick together both fingers (broken with non broken) with a glue elastic band, or similar to balance the weight received in the finger. I broke my fingers playing basketball and this was the way to continue playing even with broken fingers.
Will you try the isujikuhou too? I watched it against the syuutetsu method, and it seems good with it
Wow…this is really interesting.
We trained that in my dojo in Czech republic
CST Wing Chun has a very similar concept.
Is this striking method similar to the punching/striking style of
Sensei Kiyoshi Arakaki of Muso Kai Karate??? I think the Arakaki method might be to compress the diaphragm instead of stretching the diaphragm as shown by Fujiwara Sensei!!!
You need to react to more movies might I suggest Blood and Bone featuring Michael Jai White dude is a legit bad ass
Hey sensei. Do u have a video on spunning back kick
Yusuke who Is the most powerful kick in shotokan karate
please experience Kurodaiya punch no inch punch effertless and with less motion and more new principles in martial art self defens and figting
At what point in the video did you take the punch I saw the video I did not see you receive it..
Very nice.
Thats dope
Arigato Gozamaisu. I wonder if this is the explanation behind condensing the body
You should do a review OF the Baki anime series it has a lot of martial arts information in it and its not bad information
Sensei we want more tutorial vdos ❤
Force = Mass x Acceleration. Link your body mass to the punch.
This reminds me of Bruce Lee's one inch punch where you actually stretch out your fingers and hand before the punch to generate the power...
i came from the day in the life of a university student video from paolo from tokyo
Karate woowoo. Theres enough to learn how to hit hard without resorting to woowoo magic.
all over xing yi and tai chi. its sung, sinking. the punch is basically xing yi's beng chuan.
Sooo is the gut punch in the next upload? 😂
Please do a video with Jesse enkamp
Neither of them have original ideas so I don't know how good the video would be. That is only half a criticism, they are good communicators and bring knowledge to a wider audience, but they are rarely inventing things, it's better that they provide a platform for others
Please experience Kurodaiya no inch punch.
Congratulations. You just learned the basic body structure of Chinese internal martial arts. Tai Ji Quan, Ba Gua Zhang, Xing Yi Quan, et. al. are all based on these principles.
Yes that is exactly what I thought as soon as he showed him how he roots so he can not be lifted up.
Or systema
I can actually do that make myself a dead weight it freaks people out.
I think somebody might not know what Karate Do ShotoKai is. It relies in those principles. And remember, Karate was brought from China to Okinawa and then updated to what we know as modern karate, by G. Funakoshi. Then, S. Egami incorporated these principles of elasticity and penetration for ShotoKai.
That being said, we need to be respectful with all martial arts styles, because all of them have a reason to exist and history.
I worked with a 58 year old site foreman while I was on a framing crew. He never had a single martial art lesson, yet he was one of the rare individuals who could bury a nine-penny nail in one blow without fail. He could 'throw his tape measure at around twelve feet and maintain rigidity, carry a six-stack of ten ft 2x4 (and his mag77 saw) up a ladder while never missing what was going on around him. Clearly he was an old pro, but his experience taught him how to focus energy, maximize power, maintain balance, and increase economy of movement and space. "...Everything is Kung Fu."
So do you curve your tail bone in forward the front of your body a little bit?
When is your next belt test?
Anybody in the comments try this and feel a difference?
Sensei can I train karate at home by myself? I don't have a teacher nearby.
Looks like Chen style Taichi and Lanshou
Just like in traditional Okinawan Karate, ex. Shorin ryu ☺️
Yeah my thoughts exactly, this is all pretty readily available knowledge to Okinawan practitioners, but a good way of explaining/teaching it.
When are you coming to India for karate tour am waiting for you
Looks difficult!
It seems similar to Kikuno Sensei "stretch" to produce heavy power.
Both did practice for years at Yamashiro Sensei`s Okinawa-Kempo Karate-Do. Fujiwara Sensei was a senior and later Kikuno Sensei joined.
@@soundfun thanks for the reply. It explains it.
nunchaku basics video upload sir plz....
Can i say that the Dan Tien is involve in this practice?
If he stands on a scale and stretches that muscle, will he empirically get heavier?
One thing i dont get is how you get heavier or harder to lift.
McDonald's 😂👍

@@Robert-xk5pm muscle weighs more than fat. Specially leg muscle. Deeper stances. Don't skip leg days at gym. Build high density muscle.
If a body weights like 150 lbs... its not easily moved if the person is unconscious (dead weight), because the mass is like a unified balloon of water. In this case, it seems that he may be becoming completely Rigid, in order to Unify the body mass. The traditional Chinese method, is to become completely relaxed. It takes some time, to develop this kind of skill, as we tend to naturally have some Tension in our movements... and have some degree of "Disjointed" movement sequences.
When you're not tense, the body is more difficult to lift. It didn't become physically heavier. The body is relaxed but not limp. A better word for it is "loose" or, in Japanese, yurui 緩い. The body is still connected from top to bottom, not being limp but not being tense either.
hi sensei, I apologize for the question which is not very relevant to the vdc concert.. if it is possible to know, the respective styles of karate.. thanks in advance for your possible answer.. I greet you, be well & see you next time.. osu ... 🙂🙃😉/✨🏮🤍🎍🎎⛩️🥋🎏❤️🏮✨/👍✌🏿👌🏻👋🏽
Dude there is so much information out there, find out for yourself it's not hard. Do you train?
i hope this goes viral !!!
