Mawashi Uke, the McGyver among all techniques. Very interesing.
The Swiss Army knife of Goju Ryu 💪
The "MacGyver of Techniques" I love the way that makes perfect sense. 🫡
Totally
I like this Sensei. I am 70yrs old and have trained in martial arts since my mid-teens experiencing TKD to 3rd dan, Wing Chun for 15yrs, boxing for two and currently Wado Ryu.I learned something new from this. Just shows we never stop learning, relaxation and breathing brothers and sisters, relaxation and breathing!
Thank You
You have a most distinguished history of martial arts
Thanks for commenting
Che
Hi sir, can we connect somewhere? I really need to talk to you regarding karata and my life :') If possible can we connect thru any social media? Thanks in advance 🥰😊
Totally awesome!
@@GojuRyuKarateCentre Hi sensei, I've been training goju ryu for 30 plus years, your tuition is incredible.
Thank You Clive
Glad you enjoy our input
I love the mawashi into trapping idea. Did not think of it that way before, thanks!
Ah, thanks for the lovely comment, Tate! Hope to see you in the comments section again soon
In ShitoRyu we practice Mawashi Uke with vertical hand position,palms+back of hand looking to the side, just for detail.thx for great video again and the ideas!
Hi
Yes Shitoryu and shotokan use this format, I like that it shows difference in striking potential and also smearing ideas that would allow for more destabilising especially if you out flanked the attacker.
Thanks for sharing
We appreciate your input especially since it bring our art closer together
Che
It always look so cool, it's one of my favourite blocks.
Good! More training Jason,
Great study on Mawashi Uke. As an Uechi Ryu practitioner, I really appreciate your insights into Mawashi Uke. Domo Arigato!
Thank You
I’m glad it’s useful
Che
Thank you Sensei for posting this. Very informative 🤜🏽🥋
It’s our pleasure
Thanks for your open mind and differents ways for mawasi uke. Now some parts of Naha Kata fits.
My pleasure! Mawashi uke is the gift that keeps on giving :)
Great work. This has informed my own practice a lot.
Wonderful! Mawashi uke is indeed a treasure trove :)
I love this video. I'll try to incorporate the kakie with a couple of our boys who have issues getting along. Kakie requires cooperation. It will also condition their 10 year old muscles (hopefully the one between their ears as well).
I’m also going to try that with a few teens
Most people think that this technique is for looks while performing kata in competition. You just proved that it has actual self defense applications. Very impressive.
Thanks,
Yes we concentrate on application , we only place a tiny emphasis on competition now days
I
Thank you for the lesson. Interesting exercises, interesting techniques. Solid explanation of the principals.
Thank You
Glad you like our video
Che
As a relative newcomer, this has turned the light on! Many thanks
Glad it helped
amazing class, the step by step and then the full technique is really helpfully to uinderstund the whole move secuence
I’m glad it helped
I like the look of surprise or satisfaction on your face when you performed the formal end of Sepai on Brian's head, and then solo, afterwards. You said that it isn't spoken about but the movements are there [in the kata].
I had a similar feeling when I read the rules of kata,as passed on by Toguchi Sensei. The one that goes: Every movement in kata is significant and is to be used in application.
So one of the old masters would be in agreement with you and your approach to studying kata movements.
And I was nodding enthusiastically as you were performing the movements. I think I was seeing a connection that I hadn't seen before.
I have a digital copy of Toguchi Sensei’s book. Read it a long time ago, I am due to revisit it. I’m sure I’m going to find more with this reading.
I’m glad if I have a thumbs up from someone of such a high stature within the history of Goju Ryu
Fantastic lesson Sensei! Thank you!
It’s a pleasure
Milk for babes, strong meat for adults... and this one's a veritable carnivorous banquet! Tensho kata is mawashi uke 'unpacked' (and so, i'm increasingly convinced, is kururunfa; and consider the emphasis on mawashi uke in Suparinpei ). Kancho Oyama considered Tensho the most advanced kata, and his 'circle and point' theory emerged from his study of the relationship between Tensho and mawashi uke. I've gained more than a few bunkai insights over the past decades from using Tensho and mawashi uke as a 'rosetta stone' for decoding the other kaishu kata... especially when using kakie as the 'launch platform', and conceiving kata as 'shadow grappling/tuite' rather that mere 'shadow boxing/striking' (a major disadvantage of the ascendancy of sport karate and the consequent eisegetic misinterpretation of kata). The
hard-won insights you so generously provide in this clip would have been considered 'inner-door' secrets (okuden) not too long ago. How fortunate the GRKC community. Kudos, sir!.
Thanks for the lovely comment!
I really appreciate all the personal input and experiences that are shared . The variety of schools reinforces the idea that we study an amazing art.
I too like the inter connectedness of ideas, mawashi uke, Kakie, tensho, and hojo undo ( kongoken)
Che
Osu. Kancho(later Sosai) Oyama, said exactly that. It is one of the highlights of the"point and circle" theory of Chinese martial arts seen in Okinawan/Japanese karate styles like Goju, Ueichi and Kyokushin.
Thanks for sharing
Yet another gem of information, it’s these gems that show how we are inter connected
@@GojuRyuKarateCentre aaaaaw, t'is nada... you guys inspire us all. And anyway, karate is a COMMONwealth.
We are definitely a commonwealth
Excellent, thank you for sharing.
Thanks for leaving your comment
Variation of technical details - really appreciate the effort.
It’s our pleasure
This was a great video. Something my sensei likes to hammer home is where the under-hand starts. He stresses that it shouldn't just be at the elbow, but also further up at the armpit, so that if you are very close range and grappling, you are covering for a potential ribs/armpit strike. I also find it changes the timing slightly and helped me encourage my elbows to come down at the end. Like you said at the start of the video, lots of different variations for the same movements! Its one of my favourite things in Goju Ryu.
That's excellent advice - your Sensei is most wise 👏 thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful comment 🙏🏻
Great techniques
Thank you
Well done. Thank you.
It’s a pleasure
Very useful & high level applications for mawachi uke, many practitioners dont really know.oss 😮😊
Yes, true! Mawashi has many many secrets (but hidden in plain sight, for those who know how to train!) Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and comment, we always appreciate it :)
Great tips !
Glad that we can share
nice job , congrats
Thank You
Most Appreciated
Che
Great explanation 🙇🏻♂️🙇🏻♂️
Thank You
Excellent exercice!!!
Thank you
One Brian, Many PAINFUL Ideas.
One deshi, so many possibilities (especially when the rag doll is such a good one)
@@GojuRyuKarateCentre : one deshi is with a thug wife as a sensei on that husband-deshi but you should have more at hand in your dojo. ;)
Brian is the current favourite flavour. We haven’t had too many formal Dechi before him but all were very tough after while
I really love this video.
Very inspiring. It also shows me that you don't always need a teacher for every detail. Sometimes you just have to try and try yourself and learn. In every technique there is always much more than meets the eye.
Hi
You need a teacher and a dojo for the best part of the beginning of the journey . I’d say white to black belt
“ dojo offers 3 things . 1 corrections
2 training partner and 3. Equipment to train with
From black belt you could start training without as much time with a sensei
I am lucky to see senior sensei at least once a year, then it’s total focus
Che
I love this video. Interesting and very informative. Thanks very much! ^_^
Ah, thank you, you are so very welcome!
Great explanation regarding the movement. Not just a pretty two hand-and-arm movement someone wants to insert into a pattern.
Thank you
It’s a power movement with so much capacity and variety of application
Nicely done Sensei. Good bunkai ideas.
Hi there
Glad that the ideas resonate
Che
Thanks Sensei....!!!
It’s a pleasure
very good explain what are we realy doing ,the meaning of the movement in practice. Very Good , keep going..
Thanks for the kind words and encouragement
Hope you enjoy our video collection
Tora guchi and kakie are my favourite techniques. So I can just love this video!
Ah, we live to serve up the karate you love 😎
@@GojuRyuKarateCentre 😂😂😂 I appreciate that 🙂
i am brazilian and like so much ... great !
Greetings
Thanks for checking in
Most sppreciated
There's nothing basic about what you are teaching here sensei..I've been doing goju ryu for 35 years and your video instruction is awesome. I live in Port Alfred and I do Seiwakai. My instructor teaches me via wattsapp and he is awesome too.Thanks for a very interesting and informative video on mawashi uke.
Thanks Clive
I’m glad the videos help
SeiwaKai has slight differences , they have moved closer to OGKK way of doing things, compared to the 90s when it was closer to Goju Kai
Keep training
Che
@@GojuRyuKarateCentre hi Che ,thanks for the reply, I've been doing GojuKai all the while. I've only switched to Seiwakai this year March, April.
I spent many hours on tour with Peter Brandon Sensei, we spoke a fair amount
Thanks for this video OSU🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Our pleasure
Mawashi Uke is the two main blocking circles in karate combined. In sparring you follow the arm back into his guard/ grabbing him on the downward motion you give the others arm while he retracs it. (The deciving retraction of the m.u. before reaching out in kata may come from push hand situations and makes it harder to realize it's fundamental meaning.)
To stop after redirecting the attacking arm a little is quite stupid, but we black belts still do it.
Start pulling back your punches in every kihon kumite and stick with your uke to it and you will see, that even the tettsui of heian shodan/pinan nidan is a fully executed age uke.
Hikite is a way to get your arm out of his kakie from (not) normal circling randori uke or resisting his two on one pull after a catch.
Thanks for the very informative comment
It’s these comments that are the real gems
@@GojuRyuKarateCentre And it's reactions like this, that make sharing rewarding.
Thank You
Excelente Maeashi Uke Ossu
Mawashi
Thank You
Most appreciated
I prefer to do mawashi uke like a hadoken, to develop concentration, and also to keep the elbows in.
Mawashi uke is a modified version of tai chi silk reeling, and every aikido technique can be derived from it. I have a newfound sense of admiration for Okinawans after this discovery.
Ah, someone else who also knows Aikido! Yes, you can see how ikkyo and nikkyo share the roots. And it's important to remember the kung fu roots of Goju Ryu in White Crane and Monk Fist boxing, and to take the best of our past and carry it forward into the future 🙇🏻♀️
Good
Thank you!
Hi guy i love your German dogs. But your are the one of the best explation of the Art this Original using,
Ah, thank you so much! Ché has always had German Shepherds. They are so good with our children - such a special breed!
Thank you for the very kind words 🙏🏻
@@GojuRyuKarateCentre u did a really good job. Not only for the degree with higher belts because of my experience with aikido taichi
Do u got a video a out sanchin kata
Hi yea we have a few videos on Sanchin
We have touched on the main Goju Ryu kata
It’s a great help to have trained in a couple of different arts
I am German and i had the luck to study goju Ryu with Tokio Funasako in Heilbronn my hometown since 89
A long and rewarding journey so far, it seems! We would love to visit Germany one day - it is one of the countries on our bucket list. Thank you so much for watching and commenting 🙇🏻♀️
It's a neat introduction of Mawashi-Uke, very to the point and practical. Nice presentation Sensei Che.
Thanks Matthew Sensei
I hope I covered the base ideas , tried to add a twist by working more from Katie
All the best
Thanks for contributing so much
Che
Im beginning to think that there is more kung fu hidden in karate than there is in modern kung fu.
We have a few moves that are just very refined king fu
I do think as a karate ka it’s on my to acknowledge that our source and roots are Chinese Arts, and not Japanese , as so many people believe
I’m lucky to have had a fantastic Childhood training karate under more open minded Sensei / Sifu.
Sadly much of our competition is because of success and the money . This was a place of animosity sadly
Hiya again, could you do a video on lapel grab defence?
Hello!
We touched on this very briefly in our self-defence video here: ruclips.net/video/8lfhcJ1WaYE/видео.html
But it is definitely a topic worth exploring!
You mentioned the big kata like Seisan, Sepai, Kurunrunfa.
what about Gekisai Dai Ni?
Some of the arm movements reminded me of this one. In the past, I watched some footage of Teruo Chino using these movements.
Absolutely! Geki San is, arguably, more important to mention as it's where we all get introduced to this vital block that will last the whole journey 🙏🏻
Your right Daniel
GekiSai Sai dai 2 is the start, most people believe they understand mawashi ukr because they did it early, but the reality is it’s one of our most import concepts and therefore appears many times over in our kata syllabus.
It’s also a tangent point for : an alternative guard, half high and half low, as we.
Or for clinching and pulling in two different zones ( again high and low ) to de stabilise your opponent
I loved how Chinen Sensei demonstrated all his karate, his kata had flair and his Bunkai went beyond move block strike.
I hope I keep some of his ideas and teaching alive
Che
@@GojuRyuKarateCentre thanks for the explanation :)
Was my theme recently.... I teach it as a combat system within itself.
Thanks for sharing and always supporting us
I’m a shotokan practitioner, I absolutely loved your video. OSU 👊🏼 (Boet) 😜
Lekker, boet! 😆 We so rarely hear from our fellow South Africans, so it is always good when we do. Howzit from the Goju side of things, bru!
All lolz aside, thank you for watching 🙏
@@GojuRyuKarateCentre Aloha Sensei, a good friend and senior instructor had this to say after I shared your video. “. Outstanding session! Love how he went to Juji Nage which appears in Aikido frequently. Very solid instruction too with no fluff. Would enjoy training in his dojo very much!!! OSU!
This is from a 6th Dan Shito Ryu and 5th Dan Shotokan. OSU
You are followed by another friend of mine who has a dojo in Mauritius. 🤙
Great video! One small correction on the Chinese- Tui shou (Mandarin) means ‘push hands’, while chi sao (Cantonese) means ‘sticky hands’.
Thank you
We appreciate the correction and the feedback
Che
Great video .... BTW when we going to see Junior??
Haha! For now we are keeping our kids offline (especially so they don't resent us as teens for putting them out there) but perhaps as they get older and they want to be on the channel, we will revisit it someday :)

"It's never spoken about, but it's there."
- Open Secret
Off the top of my head, I think it was Gichin Funakoshi Sensei who said there are no secrets in karate - but it is definitely full of open secrets for those who know where to look ;)
Infinite possibilities! Especially for us olde farts [on planet since 1947]!
We have far more to learn from our karate elders than they from us! 🙇🏻♀️🙇🏻♀️

Did you say the mushimi is the sticky Rice body? Don't you mean mochimi? And the opposite, muchimi, the rope/whipbody spells differently. Mushimi is a famous mushroom Sashimi.
I’ll get Sensei Zoe to check
Thanks for the insights
The way Brian bows is not the best way to bow. In fact in Japan it is seen as very impolite and disrespectful to maintain eyecontact while bowing as it sends out the message "I don't trust you, so I keep an eye on you."
And despite not practising Goju Ryu myself (I am at home in Shorin Ryu), I can find some interesting insights as Mawashi Uke / Tora Guchi also appears in some Kata of Shorin Ryu (such as Kusanku, Jitte, Aragaki Sochin).
Thanks for sharing your insights
I’m sure we will all benefit from them
Che
Your comment about the 'rei' (bowing) is not that simple, in martial arts "keeping eye contact" is understandable, maybe in 'regular Japanese society you would not keep eye contact. Another thing is 'hand position' , I trained in Kyokushin. The 'rei' is done with both 'fist clenched in front of yourself (not to sides on thighs) . This is to convey "I'm ready to fight" Osu.
Thank you for sharing
@@duanemiller567 I see. But have you ever been to Japan? I was there 3 times. And my sensei and others told me that no matter if it is in the Dojo or outside of it: you always bow like you do in society. There are no differences between rei in the Dojo and rei outside of the Dojo.
@@ralfhtg1056 Yes Sir, I have been to Japan twice (1984, 87') and have trained @ Kyokushinkai Honbu dojo. It may be a 'organization/situation thing, in our system 'eye contact' is maintained, and for sure with a 'uke'.
You can almost create a whole style based on mawashi uke.
Absolutely! What a rich and bounteous technique 👏
Its called uechi ryu karate lol
You all see Japanese Warriors are able makes Chinese Styles Martial Art came to more Sense,Faster and Powerful👍👍👍👍

Strange...that is more wing chun than karate...its diagonal chi sau and woooden Dummy. 🧐
Our Okinawan style draws its roots directly from White Crane and Monk Fist Kung Fu - it's nice to be able to show these roots from time to time :)

If you don't have a Judo, wrestling, and Aikido background you'll never be able to apply this Kata Bunkia.
Hi yes, indeed, a background in grappling, seizing and throwing arts will always make it more user friendly.
Goju Ryu should have some of this built into its system.
