This video covers a Choki Motobu (1870-1944) inspired pad drill. All of the methods included in the drill can be found in the two-person drills and writings of this highly pragmatic karate master. Of course, Motobu did not have access to modern focus mitts, but if he had, I think we can be sure he would have fully embraced them. This drill was filmed in my dojo during a regular class on a mobile phone. Please forgive the shaky camera work. I hope you find the drill interesting!
All the best,

That shot to the bicep( 2:58_3:07) during the split entry& arm drag pull reminds of Kali&Silat. Nice demonstration! My interest in Karate has grown a lot more.
I love this drill and channel man lain thank you sensei for bringing this out so we can see what motobu choki demonstrated years ago. He practiced one kata to the point he knew the meaning of it n perfected it. Like how Bruce Lee said “ I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times”.
Great drill! Thanks for posting
Iain, great drill! keep up the good work sir!
There is a Video with Dan Inosanto about Panatukan where he ist doing nearly the same technique. Just watched it some days ago and "recognized" it. :) Good to see similarities...greating from Germany
Its real karate, not sporting.
Karate its selfdefense, lake dis.
You seem to have lost some weight. Good on you Hanshi!
Thank you! I have lost weight :-) Injuries all cleared up and I’m back training like a crazy person! I’m not a “hanshi” though :-) None of the groups I belong to use those honorific titles, and I personally avoid the all the Japanese titles as they don’t play well in my part of the world. I prefer a plain old “Iain” over “Sensei”.
That's fantastic! Currently working on doing the same actually. Working hard, being disciplined. You are a role model to follow.
because i'm in a wheelchair much of this is useful to me THX
It looks like motobu is doing ipon Kumite,why is the other guy has the hand on the hip?punching in a unrealistic way?
The first technique looks some what like Hung Gar.
Kenpo!!!!!!
The karate of Motobu … but very little is unique to a give style so I am sure you will find commonality in other systems too. It’s why I take the position that I am martial artist first and a karateka second.
Mmm not sure someone would leave their arm out in a real situation. You can counter the jab with your jab, like you did, but wouldn't have time to then wrap yr jab hand under their punching hand. You may as well follow up with a right back punch ( cross) straight away no?
The right hand is in contact with the enemy’s arm, so we can feel where it goes; as well as control it to a degree. Notice how it is gripped as the cross is thrown. So, it’s not held out, but “held”. As mentioned, the parrying right hand is monitoring, so if it were withdrawn it would be known.
“but wouldn't have time to then wrap yr jab hand under their punching hand. You may as well follow up with a right back punch ( cross) straight away no?”
The motions are not done sequentially, but in parallel and they overlap (what I call “tactical speed”). If you watch the slow-motion stuff at the start you can see how the arm strike and parry are done in the same beat, as are the cross and grip. The limb control happens at the same time as the punches and hence takes no extra time. You can see this in the slow motion. You can also see it done fast at around 4:30 and I make the point there that no time is lost.
I hope that helps clarify.
All the best,
Iain
The pads are held nowhere near an area to be hit. Think how this negatively effects real life actions.
Thanks for the comment. It would be unsafe to hold the pads next to the target. A powerful striker will punch through the pads and in to the holder such that the holder would be injured. We can use the pads of power, and a partner for placement. That’s covered here: ua-cam.com/video/YpqT40TRs24/v-deo.html
