I love how he talks about the concept of Karate Ni Sente Nashi! Even if you block, you are attacking to persuade the other one to cease his hostilities.
After being a follower of Karate by Jesse for a long time now, the inspiration and path you follow from his Okinawan visits is similar but also unique to your own channel. I love it and please keep it up! This episode alone gave me so many new and wonderful things to consider about my own training.
Thank you for bringing awareness of Shinzato Sensei to more people. I have been fortunate to work out with him many times at the Nagamine Dojo and at his Dojo. He is a great teacher, but more importantly a kind and gentle person. I hope that you enjoyed your time with him and best of luck in your continued studies.
I am very happy to see other Students of Nagamine Shoshin explain karate so well Masao Shinzato Sensei Thank you Karate ne sente nashi has three levels of response Sen Sen no sen Go no sen Ukeru is to receive… not block.. Yes a block is a strike on beginner level But the inner meaning is to enter inside the attack to use rear hand as cover
thank you for introsducing us to Shinzato Sensei , I can already tell he's a great teacher .Warm and cares deeply for karate .always willing to show everyone the great sides of karate! . I cant wait to see what he will share with us!
I started my journey in Matsubayashi-ryu more than three decades ago, and my fondness for karate has only grown over the years. I greatly appreciate this interview and look forward to watching you train with Shinzato Sensei! Bruises make the best training trophies :)
I practiced for many years with a direct disciple of Nagamine Shoshin. You are making me want to spend some time in Okinawa and experience first hand this awesome culture...
Hearing the master speak gave me so much wisdom I felt all his words rigth in my "Kokoro" thank you for bring this interview on my life in this moment. Respect from Patagonia, Chile.
Thank you ! this is how i was taught right from the start , discipline , try to deescalate, if attacked, block, and only retaliate to disable their ability to attack again
This is awesome! I grew up doing Matsubayashi-Ryu and am trying to get back into the art as an adult. It's fantastic to learn more, and see how a wonderful master like him teaches. These will be great reference for my own practice. Thank you. + some of the stuff is super cool, too. Most people think Karate is just strikes, kicks, and blocks. But elbow, knee, and palm strikes are just as present, and are part of the basic movements in Shoshin Nagamine's teachings. Karate is far more comprehensive than most would give it credit to be.
Well Yusuke I did wonder, given that so many Shotokan Karate teachers have trained in Okinawa & videod their experiences, just how you would make something that was different & fresh. I have to say that I am impressed. So hats off to you Sir. It is wonderful to hear what the Okinawan Masters think & feel about karate and the world. Also the idea of a 'block' to deter an attacker is something Nakayama Sensei wrote about. So this next video should be a beauty!!!!!
Awesome! So excited to see these... CONCEPTS. Each “personality” of the different styles in these upcoming episodes! The idea of these blocks being attacks is great, “never attack first”. Great stuff. Ninjutsu uses almost same concept by changing the stance for each thought, intention, or anticipation of the next movement. Not “attacking” but adapting against the incoming attack. Cant wait. Great work! 🤘🏽
Ahh that Shorin is written like this 小林. The sensei I've interviewed in this series was written like this 松林. But the roots are overlapping so I'm sure you noticed the differences!
One day I know I will get to his warm aura of gentleness kindness and greatness with wisdom and futher knowledge what a delightful most powering human if you cant tell that by this video you can't see what the true meaning of a karateka is
Can't wait to see the next episode. I have also been in karate for 50 years. However in and out. I started when I was 15 I think, in 1967. Currently back in for last 10 years. I was fortunate to originally be trained by Japanese here on 5 year visa. They went back to Japan after the visas expired. Masahide Nakamura and Fumio Suzuki, head couch and team captain, Hosei University karate team. I still train because I like it. Shotokan.
@@KarateDojowaKu I'm very happy to hear that. I'm proud of that heritage. Wood floors and no mats. No armor when sparing. Bruised rims taught you not to get hit. I got stories.
What a cool dude!! Thx for bringing him in. Yeah any martial art that doesn't lack philosophy its about peace! Great interview and even having stop with martial arts 15 years ago I just love your videos!
Thank you for doing these kind of videos going back to the roots. Better learn from the masters because it is just a matter of time before they are gone
@@KarateDojowaKu ok then atleast provide us contact details, so that we can contact them in prior to have an appointment or training session with them.
Because the other day someone told me off for commenting in a non inclusive way I'll write the next for this epic moment. Instead of *fangirl scream" I'll write "EXCITED AND HAPPY HUMAN SCREAM* that's what I do every time this man uploads a video
Itosu Passai, the one that correlates to Shotokan Bassai Dai is different from Matsubayashi's Pasaai. The Passai in Matsubayashi Shorin Ryu is also known as Tomari Passai. If you'd like to see a version of the Okinawan precursor to Shotokan's Bassai Dai, then look to the Chibana lineages (eg: Kobayashi Shorin Ryu- Shorinkan) Their Passai Sho is the Itosu Passai and the enbusen maps directly with the Shotokan Bassai Dai. Their Koryu Passai has an enbusen that corresponds to Shotokan's Bassai Sho. Tomari Passai is a different kata altogether and doesn't have a corresponding kata in Shotokan. Oh, by the way, Tomari bassai is a beautiful kata.
Nice video thanks. Watching through them all now while at work, the "No first strike philosophy" and karate practice bringing mental peace really sums up my initial impressions about karate and I started. Thank you. Onto the next episode
Okinawa dojos, at least the ones I've seen, all seem to be so .... intimate ...in their size and decor. Often far less sterile than dojos in mainland Japan. Amazing video...as always sir.../deep bow
This is wonderful! A strong start (pun intended) to what is sure to be a fantastic series! I'm particularly excited for the video(s) on Uechi-Ryu (Pangai-Noon) you announced in the trailer-I'd love to hear your thoughts on how Shotokan and Uechi-Ryu compare
What a nice gentleman! I totally agree with him re. continuing training for a lifetime: I've been training for 50 years also, and I still love it and look forward to every training. I have to, regrettably, disagree with him on his wonderful vision of world peace that could come from the universal practice of karate: at least here in the States, there are far too many karate players (or those who want to be) who do not follow or even understand the principles of karate-do as he explained, and have an unhealthy ego attachment to, and reason for, training; and they pursue training with bad and hostile and adversarial attitudes, and/or only care about what rank they are and the prestige they think it conveys them (regardless of their actual skill or understanding of karate, which often sadly follows an inverse relation to their rank).
I was surprised of this his pronunciation of the Japanese. I experience with Okinawanese was, that I couldn't understand a bit. But what he told, was clearly understandable.
I would love to see you review the game absolver. It’s not a well known game, but uses many martial arts moves I’ve seen you show in your videos and would love to see if practical martial arts could translate into skills in the game. I know that when I’ve been playing I have to do many of the techniques I’ve seen featured here on your channel.
I've been studying Shorin ryu style for about 2 years now I am from Kerala India and I don't know how true it is like what I am being taught The katas I know are pinan shodan to pinan Godan and naihanchi shodan to naihanchi sandan pasai dai seisan and gekisaidai ichi Karate association of India has removed Shorin ryu style from its association and the certificate of Shorin ryu belt doesn't have any value now So my sensei is now forced to disguise his dojo as gi Toku kai style dojo Honestly this was the first time j heard abt this style He still teaches Shorin ryu and is one of the best sensei I have ever had the fortune of meeting I've seen alot of Karate and kungfu senseis in india but most of them do it for the money alone It's not very difficult to get a black belt in almost any martial art in india u just need to be rich Martial arts scene in india is very bad
Near the beginning of the interview, Shinzato Sensei mentioned Shorin-ryū with Matsubayashi-ryū. The context is a bit unclear by the subtitles. Was he saying that Matsubayashi-ryū is a branch of Shorin-ryū, or that they are trained together at his dōjō, or something else entirely?
As far as my googlefu goes, Matsubayashi-ryu comes from Shorin-ryu, in a lot of places I even saw written as Matsubayashi Shorin-ryu or Matsubayashi-ha Shorin-ryu
There are a number of Shorin Ryu styles, generally from Shuri Te. Chosin Chibana, student of Anko Itosu, first named his style Shorin Ryu, using kanji that can also be pronounced Kobayashi Ryu (small forest style). Chibana was clear that his style's name is correctly pronounced Shorin Ryu. The name was probably referencing the history of Shaolin in China. Shoshin Nagamine named his style Shorin Ryu, using kanji that can also be pronounced Matsubayashi Ryu (pine forest style). Nagamine said the style name should generally be pronounced Shorin Ryu, unless it needed to be differentiated from other Shorin Ryu styles, in which case, it can be called Matsubayashi Ryu. There is also other kanji used for other Shorin Ryu schools that can be pronounced Shobayashi Ryu (young forest style).
As far as Japanese goes: Matsubayashi and Shorin have exactly the same meaning (pine woods). One is the kun-yomi and the other is the on-yomi (reading).
I'm so confused that I can't understand which karate style is best.My friend said shotokan style is best.But my other friend said goju ryu is best.When I'm watching your video,I think shotokan style is best.But when I'm watching traditional Okinawa karate,I think Okinawa karate is best.Can you suggest me which Karate is best.
There is no such things. Karate styles are just different way//accentuation to reach the same objective. Some may be more appealling than others for you but "best" doesn't exist regarding the styles, it's depend more on the teaching than on the style.
Techniques wise the best karate is the karate you develop understanding your own body, their advantages and limits. Philosophy wise, they are pretty much the same, just using different words, it's about respecting everyone and everything, not actively producing violence and actively find peace and self-awareness (internal peace)
Like the others have said, there is no "best" karate style. There are far more similarities than differences in them, as most of them evolved from either the Shuri-Te or Naha-Te lines. Not every style teaches the same katas, and there are different points of emphasis, but one isn't inherently better than the other. It mostly boils down to how good your Sensei is, and if they are teaching effective karate, and not running a McDojo. I've trained in two separate karate styles in my lifetime (Uechi-Ryu and Shito-Ryu) and have gained a lot of good experience from both of them.
Shurite: Shorin-ryu, Matsubayashi-ryu, Kobayashi-ryu, Sobayashi-ryu, Hayashi-ryu - how do y'all pronounce them differently when they all are spelled the same in kanji??? :)

Eso mismo dice mi sensei en sus clases
"there's no first attack in karate" wow ...that took me in deep thinking...i love this...cant wait for more. thankyou for this series.
More coming up!
That's why every Kata starts with a block.........
It is so nice to see the respect you give to your elders.

Thank you
Karate ne sente nashi has three levels of response
Sen
Sen no sen
Go no sen
Ukeru is to receive… not block..
Yes a block is a strike on beginner level
But the inner meaning is to enter inside the attack to use rear hand as cover

I fully enjoyed the concepts of karate like 空手に先手なし or 殺人拳じゃなくて活人拳. The idea that you can defend and attack just with blocks it's incredible.
i know nothing about Karate, i came here from the channel Paolo from Tokyo, loved the video and will be looking out for more content

Thank you very much for sharing your perspective!
World Peace is Attainable
Karate Do is a path O Sensei did his best to foster it
Amazing how everything he mentioned about Matsubayashi ryu is exactly what my Sensei told me in Ohio 30 years ago.
I was surprised of this his pronunciation of the Japanese. I experience with Okinawanese was, that I couldn't understand a bit. But what he told, was clearly understandable.
He probably adjusted to the Hyojungo!

I've been studying Shorin ryu style for about 2 years now
I am from Kerala India and I don't know how true it is like what I am being taught
The katas I know are pinan shodan to pinan Godan and naihanchi shodan to naihanchi sandan pasai dai seisan and gekisaidai ichi
Karate association of India has removed Shorin ryu style from its association and the certificate of Shorin ryu belt doesn't have any value now
So my sensei is now forced to disguise his dojo as gi Toku kai style dojo
Honestly this was the first time j heard abt this style
He still teaches Shorin ryu and is one of the best sensei I have ever had the fortune of meeting
I've seen alot of Karate and kungfu senseis in india but most of them do it for the money alone
It's not very difficult to get a black belt in almost any martial art in india u just need to be rich
Martial arts scene in india is very bad
Well, I'm great that you can gain access to authentic materials using the internet in 2021. I wish you the best!

Near the beginning of the interview, Shinzato Sensei mentioned Shorin-ryū with Matsubayashi-ryū. The context is a bit unclear by the subtitles. Was he saying that Matsubayashi-ryū is a branch of Shorin-ryū, or that they are trained together at his dōjō, or something else entirely?
As far as my googlefu goes, Matsubayashi-ryu comes from Shorin-ryu, in a lot of places I even saw written as Matsubayashi Shorin-ryu or Matsubayashi-ha Shorin-ryu
There are a number of Shorin Ryu styles, generally from Shuri Te. Chosin Chibana, student of Anko Itosu, first named his style Shorin Ryu, using kanji that can also be pronounced Kobayashi Ryu (small forest style). Chibana was clear that his style's name is correctly pronounced Shorin Ryu. The name was probably referencing the history of Shaolin in China. Shoshin Nagamine named his style Shorin Ryu, using kanji that can also be pronounced Matsubayashi Ryu (pine forest style). Nagamine said the style name should generally be pronounced Shorin Ryu, unless it needed to be differentiated from other Shorin Ryu styles, in which case, it can be called Matsubayashi Ryu. There is also other kanji used for other Shorin Ryu schools that can be pronounced Shobayashi Ryu (young forest style).
As far as Japanese goes: Matsubayashi and Shorin have exactly the same meaning (pine woods). One is the kun-yomi and the other is the on-yomi (reading).
Perfect explanation!
That's correct!
Could you do a reaction video to Hapkido look twords Chris Garland or jing jung kwon
Thanks for the recommendation!

Matsubayashi Ryu.
Yes it is!
Shurite: Shorin-ryu, Matsubayashi-ryu, Kobayashi-ryu, Sobayashi-ryu, Hayashi-ryu - how do y'all pronounce them differently when they all are spelled the same in kanji??? :)
As they all can be pronounced the same like "Shorin Ryu", we have to check or guess from the context. That's why some people avoid saying Shorin.
