Outstanding footage! Would it be possible for you to upload the second part you mentioned, including additional advanced kata and kobudo? I'm really interested and I bet I'm not the only one! Thank you!
This is why I started Shotokan in 84. Systematic Structure and movement. You add the freedom of Kung Fu to the Static Power of Shotokan. You create a Whip like Ball and Chin of Steel.
When i now started karate my sensi engraved these thoughts into us: "A fight should end as soon as possible. " "One hit, one technique or one opportunity is all you got in a life and death situation." "We train so we intend to live." "Our intentions, defend yourself as effective as possible." "Karate was not meant for show man ship or showing off. Its a way of life. The weapons are our body, the hands, the feet, the head, the fingers, the toes, the shoulders are for offensive use and defence purposes. We train to be mentally sound, physically fit and ready to respond to our present situations that may deem a danger to our wellbeing."
To Shoto Juku: I thought the same, some of the moves and rhythms appears very similar to the (old) Kenkojuku style. Nice to see this old footage and be able to have a connection with these practitioners... almost knowing what they were feeling at the moment....
Not much has changed. Nice to see that it’s as pure as it was then. I’m doing Tekki Sandan for the month. 😂😂😂😂Very confusing. Got 1 and 2 down. But still working on 3. This is so awesome.
Actually, while they were proficient in their era, and masters in their own rights, Karate has changed and advanced. Consider, sports science, nutrition, general health and wellness among the masses is better. Think football, do we play better now than 50 years ago? Of course we do. Body structures are different, and technique is scientifically applied. The same can be said for Karate. And no, I am not saying Karate is purely a sport.
Hi; a punch to a plane or point or mae geri of an older Karate Master like Higaonna Sensei; Sadaharu Sensei; Kiyohide Sensei; Taira Sensei; and many older and newer than they is in my opinion stronger and "lethal" for self defense than a cardiovascular trained sport guy. Karate is completely diluted in 75% of the cases right now
@@brucelevine6517 I am not afraid; I am part of it but is not evolved for better; evolved for sports. Karate is Budo; sports and recreational oriented activity. I aim for the first way.
Most people here are afraid of evolution. And don t know history of karate… Funakoshi, Gigo, nakayama and other made evolution… like Itosu before them. And for a Hundred years we ear the same : that a not true karate, that s not tradition!😂 If one would be good at self defense, i suggest train shotgun
Baloney. 70 % of the moves in those classic katas involve grappling. Beginners only see kick, 'block', punch. Look harder. Note there are wrist locks, arms bars, throws, holds, stomps, chokes, and gouges.
Great film. Very nostalgic for me as I trained at Keio Dai!
This is a GREAT find. So rare and now we see what the old karate looked like pre-JKA transformation. Reminds me of what Tsutomu Oshima Sensei does.

We will for sure be posting that. Just need to do some translating. Stay tuned...
@@nackc yes, please. That'd be great. We're really looking forward to it in my club. Let me know if we can help. Many thanks.
@@nackc I really appreciate your kindness. Thank you very much again!!!
I completely agree. It will be very interesting
OK, folks. Part 2 is up. ruclips.net/video/fS95cXvQ72o/видео.html
These Kata have the look of something much older akin to pre WWII and a hint of the ShotoKai styling or even KenKoJuku.

Fascinating stuff. Thanks for posting these videos. Some really interesting variations that will give me much to think about.
This is wonderful!! Thank you!!
Really cool to see kata hasn’t changed much.
His kata is amazing and he uses koshi y all movements very different to kata of competition..

this is so beautifully said. Nothing left to comment on.

I ripped my hamstring twice over the years doing Kangku Dai. Especially the last Maegeri.
Ouch!
To the people who said shotokan is only competition maybe needs to see this!
Quite interesting.

Not that we have, no. Sorry.
@@nackc it's okay, hope I can find it one day
❤❤❤
Molto interessante

@@TheReverb1 you are afraid of progress Gigo Funakoshi Nakayama and Kanazawa have made shto kan what it is today we have evolved for the better!

@@brucelevine6517 Nope. They went the wrong way. Style (over substance) and sport are a bad choice.

This is the real shit right hear.

*Nothing that's been uploaded onto RUclips or the internet is "rare" anymore. Try to think a little!*
