Thanks for the video. My 8yo studies Shorin Ryu and we just had a visit here in South Bend IN today from Sensi Yamashita. I believe he came to test some people for their black belts but while here he taught her class. He was a great teacher and was awesome with the kids. So glad to have met him.
Ive been a student of master Tadashi yamashita for 20 years,he is one of the greatest martil artists to have ever lived.His skills are second to none.he did in fact show bruce Lee some nunchukas training around the time of Enter the Dragon.But he is not responsible for what Bruce lee could do.They are probably the 2 greatest,but theie styles are same but different.Theyre philosophies are same but different.
I don't know about shorin ryu politics, but I see Yamashita's demo and I have no doubt He is a master. You can also compare his demo with Higaonna sensei's demo as a means to better understand differences and similarities between goju ryu and shorin ryu. Great video.
Yamashita is like Metallica.Pure talent(s),brought metal music(karate) a step(or two) forward,huge success.Many love them,many hate them.The point is this:They're the best.You should talk to M.Yamashita about his vision,his philoshophy you should train with him some times to see what is watered down(!).Karate is evolving...Itosu evolved it.Funakoshi too.Matsumura also etc...
Check out my series Chinen-Higaonna at the 75 Long Beach tournament, tape 2 has Hironori Ohtsuka Sensei performing bunkai after Fumio Demura does his demo.
Sorry, the first is Higaonna Sensei of Okinawan Goju, then a bo kata from Matayoshi Kobudo, then a demo by Tadashi Yamashita of Shorin Ryu. The stances are not as long as traditional Shotokan.
Then you should check out my other videos of him in the early 70's doing demos at the Long Beach Tourn. w/ Chinen and the tape of the Yoyogi dojo kata. Enjoy!
Granted we all makes mistakes and I critique others kata or fighting techniques,etc. that I see on film. But I leave personalities & politics out of it. Those are 2 things that will get you in trouble all the time! I look forward to your friendship though! 8-)
Just some guys getting caught up w/ some political b.s. My Sensei once told me when I was in a similar situation w/ my first teacher "If it wasn't for him, you would not be here!" So true, and I thing that Kim Sensei may see that and some others do not. Enough said!
Please extend my compliments to Kim Sensei as your written words directly reflect upon him and his teachers. I gently tried to advise you of that on another persons clips. Gambatte! (Press On!)
I hope that you are not yudansha b/c that is heavy punishment! Perhaps in the future when an old wiser Master Yoda like myself gives you sound advice like knocking it off, perhaps you will listen. "Listen well, I say I to you!" ~Yoda
Anyone who calls himself "O-Sensei" cannot be very legit. My Sensei who has trained over 50 years in Goju only wants to be called Sensei. I will check him out. BTW, He says he is "old school traditional" then he wouldn't use the term "O-Sensei", right?
I have no problem with negative reviews, But I have seen some of stuff that has been posted. It stinks and if you have a problem with the guy then deal with him. Remember I have the poison pen...err mouse and can remove the comments! ::snicker::
Let's bring the discussion away from politics and back to the video clip. I am sickened by the b.s. over the politics and will block users from here on if it does not stop. It's not free speech on my by videos. I control the videos.

Oh!I forgot to mention that most of what you see are naihanchin applications...
I sent you a PM. They use the term for several deceased Okinawan Sensei. I sent a note off to a senior of the Higa lineage he claims for verification.
Yeah, he's "old style" says that he teaches Bunkai & Kata according to "WKF rules"? That is an interesting combo!
I believe that his name is Maeshiro (My-ess-shiro) Sensei, 8th dan. But I have lost my Nihongo skills.

There is such a thing as free speech, but please watch your language on my pages... Thanks.
