The long distance is typical for Shotokan. If you can reach your enemy from this distance then you'll be even faster at a shorter distance. Also in this video it is demonstrated how Asai Sensei is stepping forward, instead of the typical backward motion. One can't clearly demonstrate that with a shorter distance. I think that for a demonstration it is perfect. Of course a real life situation is something different.
Asai sensei is demonstrating that the defender doesn't have to step back to defend himself. I personnaly don't like to fight for the same territory twice. By stepping backward you're cedeing area, by stepping forward you're the claiming area.
Art of War, you take your enemy's space. This is a solid philosophy in many real kung fu styles (I practice Wing Chun and Chow Gar) in that you don't go back, but you don't meet the force straight on either.
The long Ma is NOT typical of all Shotokan. If the distance is so far that you cannot hit the opponent, why is he blocking. I’ve done Shotokan for well over 50 years and have always practiced it in a much more realistic manner. If you Kamai and your opponent doesn’t feel at least slightly threatened, you are too far out (your Ma is too far). If my opponent’s Ma is too distant, when he attacks, I just stand there. Either he is afraid to get close or he just doesn’t understand the proper Ma. I know that in the JKA their Ippon and Sanbon is very “theoretical” (I mean that their attacker is NOT trying to make contact so the defender is in NO danger. However, they ALWAYS make contact on the counter when the defender is just standing there and not supposed to block or defend). I trained with the JKA for a couple of years and always respected their tradition and did it their way. When an old friend joined the same group, after class he and I would do Kumite and the Dojo’s juniors would back against the wall to keep a far distance from us. LOL. The juniors were especially terrified when I tore the sleeve off of my friend’s Gi with my Hikite.
Según tengo entendido, son videos que hizo el sensei Asai para la JKS y creo que son solo de distribución interna dentro de la Shotorenmei (Extractos subidos a RUclips aparte).
Asai sensei was incredible at any point but this kumite isn't good demonstration, because if the distance between them. The guy which is attacking has no chance to reach him, if he don't move toward the technique :(
Can anyone explain to me - what exactly is the point of these pair techniques? We all know they are nor practical or realistic, but rather choreographed to look cool... anyone?
foxesruler Mostly the idea is to practice your proper technique with the threat of being punched. A lot of them do work to some extent, and the principles are often sound, but it’s not meant to be a “use this in all fights” type of thing. They’re situational, and open to modification. When practicing Ippon Kumite, you practice speed, timing, and how to manipulate the body. Add sparring into your routine, and you quickly learn to implement these techniques. Same with kata. A good example might be shadow boxing, a speed bag, or a punching bag. If you only shadow box (kata), you will not learn to fight. If you only do heavy bag (Kihon Waza / Basics), you will not learn how to fight. And no one fights like you use a speedbag (Ippon Kumite), but it instils principles applicable to sparring. Get it?
Rachel Whiting Of course, yes, muscle memory as well! Practice it perfectly. If you can do it quickly with perfect technique, you'll be more capable of doing it under pressure with less technique.
Applied Martial Arts that is the best explanation I have heard. My former Sensei used to say in the dojo it has to be perfect because on the street it probably won’t be. It makes sense under stressful conditions your bodies motor skills decrease.
This is not for real encounter exactly, it is a basic technique give to the user a muscle memory and options about what you could do and have more options to attack depending a "fight context".

long distance is weapon no one expect blow from long range everybody fell safe but against karateka they are not :D
A National Treasure. One of the Best OLD JKA Vanguards. 1950-2000.

but that kind of fight require mastery, that's called "diae" or cutting in opponents blow but it is really hard to do :D
0:48 The better application of Heian Nidan's first move :)
It's more like the movement of the first kiai of Sochin
Walter Nakamura Yeah, you're right. Though the official JKA bunkai of a double block in Heian Nidan is laughable,

foxesruler
They are realistic but people think they have to do it exactly as in the practice
The choreography is only for practice

Applied Martial Arts beautiful and spot on explanation. Osu! And to build muscle memory..
Rachel Whiting
