Thanks for watching! We should’ve clarified at the beginning of the video... the guy constantly being picked on by sensei is Youngmin, the co-founder of this channel. I asked my sensei that he go especially hard on me to show you guys what traditional conditioning is all about! No worries, we don’t do this on every occasion!
This isn't sport Karate or modern styles of martial arts. This is a pure and dedicated form of traditional conditioning. Not for everyone, but deepest respect to those who do. Keep these skills alive. Respect
I don't comment on videos often but I have to on this video. I really, really, reeeaaally enjoyed this one and it's probably my most favourite on this channel! (I've been rewatching it over and over for some reason, even showed it to my grandma) I don't want to make this comment too long, but I really appreciate your guy's videos and I really miss Japan espacially Okinawa and as someone who's been doing Karate since a very young age, I love these kinds of videos. They somehow give me this "I'm at home" feeling if that makes sense! Last thing, when I visited Okinawa last month I got to meet Hokama Tetsuhiro-Sensei kinda randomly and he's such an interesting person, I'd love to see a lot more videos about different people's karate background and or about people there in general, as the first interview you guys have on the channel really moved me aswell! がんばれ！
As dangerous as those hardened digits are, it kinda looks like they become too deformed to be useful in other applications. I guess this guy might not be the one to knit his own sweaters but imagine needing fine motor skills and sensitivity, you've beaten them out of your hands, or so I imagine.
@@Grandroborox Karate impact conditioning is much more dangerous than Kung Fu conditioning because the "progression" is too abrupt. In Karate, you start hammering the makiwara and all kinds of shit right away, this is why you have so many arthritic karateka. In Iron palm kung fu, you start thrusting spearhand into beans, then sand, then river stones, then metal ball bearings. Same with body conditioning, you start getting hit with a bundle of chopsticks, then a bundle of light metal sticks ("iron brush"), then a light piece of wood, then heavy wood.
@@James-wd9ib the progression is not abrupt. sure, you are hammering the makiwara, but not with your full power and your knuckles bleed. you use power where you can hit the makiwara and feel it, but not bleed.
I lived in Okinawa while in HS, and this brings back some memories. I was about the same age of the young man that got pounded on and everything was so similar. Even the wood was the same size. I wish my boys could experience this. This training changes your perspective on what is effort, focus, and what you can accomplish when you maximally apply those two things. Thank you for sharing this.
Well said. There are quite a few Uechi-Ryu schools around the world and some of them founded by Master Shinjo's students. You just need to locate one near you... and then convince your boys to accept this type of training, which might be a lot harder to do than finding a good dojo 😉
Okinawa is the birthplace of karate and is deeply rooted in the history and culture of the islands. Fantastic job in presenting its rigors and truest form to the global community!
Shotokan Karate was the first martial art I learned since early teenage years, then I switched to Ninpo and Wing chun. However if ever I would go back to Karate, I would definitely want to master uechi ryu 💪🏻
If you have Wing Chun it should be easy to pick up. Wing Chun is derived from Southern Dragon and Southern Crane. Uechi- Ryu is Southern Crane, Tiger, & Dragon plus some Okinawan Traditional Arts.
This is a good reason to grapple or wrestle. Cause if you let these guys hit or kick you with that dragon ball Z power it's over. So cool! The instructor is an impressive man.
My student , a former USMC 0311 now EMT /firefighter, is a skilled kodokan judoka and Machado jiujitsu black belt who trains Uechi Ryu Kara te. He's a super humble Christian guy but an extremely dangerous man.
Excellent real fighting training is being imparted in Japan unlike in India. Here it resembles a drill session. Really it is great to watch and learn.👏👍🙏
THIS TYPE OF TRAINING REALLY DEVELOPS the Warrior Mentality and the training being Hit conditions the body so that when there is a REAL LIFE FIGHT SITUATION the Body can take a hit.
I got clocked in the face once by my sensei, three stiches, lots of blood & possibly a mild concussion, the other thirteen years at that dojo were nothing but aches & bruises.
Reminds me of my own Sensei. Some days it was hard to tell if he was in a bad mood or just hated you😂 it was harsh and brutal and I'd have it no other way.
In America I try to train people the old way. but they don't understand. I loved this video. This was similar yet different, but close to how I was trained by my uncle. It hurt real bad, It was extremely hard, but it was real, and the skill you developed from this old school training was very high level. I'd like to point out the spiritual power in this video. It's in the breathing, the "San Shin Kata" (Three Kingdoms Kata) where one develops breathing control and learns to harness Ki or Chi, or bioelectrical energy. In Shaolin Kung Fu the bone hardening exercises here would be called "Iron Sheet", very painful training, but what it produces is an iron will with the strength to endure the greatest of physical pain, and still keep fighting like nothing happened. I loved this video, Gambate!
I'm struggling to find old way schools here in Brazil. People don't give a sh*t about history fully of culture behind this, they just want to see Karate more as a kind of exercise/sport to relax at end of day. My dream is to be able to train Karate in a way such that one showed in the video. It is the only way I see to not only develop our body to the limits but our souls too.
I come from a boxing background that was intense and rigid. I am trying to expand my training but these gyms i find to be way to soft. We need more old school teachings out here build real warriors.

ua-cam.com/video/uTDos-i9gwM/v-deo.htmlsi=ilmbDQsmbPPsOysZ Anything with Sensei Thompson is a good bet, I'm a little biased though he taught my Sensei.
Real Karate I spent 12 years of my youth doing the bastarised freestyle karate, which is essentially kickboxing, before boxing I now train Judo, but i would love to train in this Dojo. It's amazing! A great Sensei with top students! He's a real Sensei that you would jump through fire for
Got suggested this video when I was looking up instructional videos for Judo (cause I recently started that). WHatever reason the algorithm had for suggesting this to me I am glad that it did because this video does a fantastic job of introducing someone like me to Uechi-Ryu. I think Japanese martial arts in general have so much more history and depth to them that no other martial art can compare.
Would love to see a video on exploring that distance getting closer with a bladed stance and being able to throw some punches without getting popped right away with punches as I am struggling with this myself
Uechi-Ryu Karate is one of the most powerful Karate. I would love to learn one day in Japan. I like Kyokushinkai Karate and Goju Ryu Karate looks powerful also.
I'm a Godan in Uechi-Ryu and thoroughly enjoyed watching this! Fantastic job showcasing the different aspects of the training and atmosphere. It's obvious Shinjo Sensei pushes his students the right way and has fun doing it.
Very hardcore. Thanks for posting this excellent video. Really liking the intensity and the unique movements you don't see much. First time ever seeing a man use the spear hand to break two hard wood boards, much less kick through them with his toes!!!! A living memorial to the ancient techniques.
I've heard a lot about Sensei ,this is really hard training but once you get used to it ,you know you are one of the physically and mentally toughest people out there
Hey I’m in 40’s been practicing martial arts for 28years been slowing down lately due to age but this video inspired me to keep going. I just took some C4 off I go
Thank you so much for this amazing video.Uechi ryu and kyokushin is my favorites karate styles.Unfortunaly there isn t traditional styles in my country,only WKF style.
Shinjo used to compete in sport competition when he was younger so he's studied his karate for sport and traditional, which is why his dojo practices more sport and sparring than other traditional okinawan dojos. some hardcore traditionalists might not like that, but i think it could still foster a greater perspective to their martial arts. though you should always discern between fighting and self-defense, sport and traditional aspects.
the whole time nobody smiles or cracks jokes, they are so stiff and strict. that sensei is beating them all. but this is clearly hardcore training like samurai, monks, ninjas.....
I trained Uechi late 70's early to mid 80's and this is the old school teachings for sure with a heavy emphasis on conditioning. The conditioning was indeed intense but the body toughened through the years to accept more punishment. No disrespect here, however MO though what I see here is too intense. When you have students wincing, yelling out in pain, and limping away that is not the correct way to condition. It took this Sensei many decades of conditioning and fighting to be able to absorb and inflict that level of punishment... however I doubt if any of the students shown here are even close to that level. No reason to hurt your students/partners. Much respect to this sensei..however if one is constantly nursing injuries, bruises, etc... it only delays advancement and desire to continue. Not to mention the damage to the joints and bones that will develop in later years thereby negatively impacting and possibly prohibiting/limiting training. Just my opinion.
Really nice atmosphere! Train hard and after drink some beer and speak with your team is just perfect. Best way to finish the day. I wish I would have opportunities like this.
As an mma and boxing guy i wont hold my own with those sensei but im definitely not loosing to any of these students!!! THEY ATTACK WITHOUT GUARDING THERE HEAD AT ALL🥲

Wws
😢
Hard 😊
Yeah I was thinking he keeps picking that one guy , looks like a form of Shinobi training which is cool with me I want to create my own ninja group
Well, be careful what you wish for! You certainly got it hard alright! Its character building though eh?
That is the most intense realistic Uechi Ryu training that I’ve ever seen. That Sensei is hard-core.
Miyagi says - aye
Что жестокого))? Он проверяет натяжение и скручены ли мышцы. Это нужно для понимания техники.
I can feel the Sanchin conditioning all over again lol
Feels like the "old" school karate/taekwondo I first learned. Loved it.
This sensei is a douch bag
This isn't sport Karate or modern styles of martial arts. This is a pure and dedicated form of traditional conditioning. Not for everyone, but deepest respect to those who do. Keep these skills alive. Respect
It seems this kind of fighters may not face other forms of fighters. Karate not used it any more..

it's in Okinawa, so of course it's still preserving tradition. you have to say this somewhere outside of Okinawa.

Greetings from New Zealand.
I love practicing Ueshi ruy training and fighting. With the hardening I no longer feel most of the blows.
Amazing
is he kicking with his toes? this is hardcore stuff. ryu karate
how do you punch? with your knuckles. same principles applies to the front kick. most of us simply learn the wrong technique.
Great video!
Thank you sir!!!!

That peace of wood hitting the leg must be very painful...
Beatiful. It reminds me when practising Wing Chun and Siu Lim Tao ❤
Super training. Hardcore and genuine.
I've been training shotokan karate for a while, and I really admire goju ryo karate, Okinawa. I think it is beautiful
サムネみてチョコプラの動画だと思って開いたら、達人の動画でびっくりしたw
