These are literally some of my favourite martial arts videos out there. This sensei is great. He explains it so well.
You make it sound like there are a ton of shitty instructors/teachers in the world
@@vincentlee7359 ummm... There are
Damn guess I got lucky af
@@vincentlee7359 yeah same lol. Although I did have to search for a while to find my master
@@IsaacW. then I really got lucky for all mine lmao
Awesome video!
In our Karate Style, which falls under Okinawan Shorin Ryu, we apply Kosa in every block in a similar way. Applying the idea that the opponent might be stronger than you and one arm may not be enough to block a punch or kick, you always assist the blocking hand by starting the deflection with the hikite while you perform the uke technique.
Say, if your left hand is in the front and your right hand is to block a chudan tsuki, as the LH becomes the hikite it glances the opponent's punch and then the RH completes the block.
I see! Thanks for sharing your insight!
When you block, do you get your arms crossed or keep it straight?

I cross my arm but that has nothing to do with my style. I was able to train in Shorin ryu when I was younger. I like that way better so I kept on doing my blocks with my arm cross. No one stop me from doing it that way.
Most interesting content!
In the majority of blocks in taekwondo, we keep the arm at the bottom (not the one that will do the block) straight, at least when performing the proper form (not during more free combats). I'm taking here about low blocks (against a kick, for example).
For others, like an external blade to block a punch, the blocking arm begins at the bottom, and the upper arm is blended.
But there are many aspects that have changed with the course of the years.
I feel like in doing kosa, you're also giving yourself a point of reference where you can better utilize hikite when blocking.
Originally I was taught to cross my arms since our system's roots are more aligned with Okinawan style karate. It wasn't until I studied Shotokan that I was taught to keep my arm straight. So I guess you can say I did both. Then again I've seen other styles do neither.
cross..
The way I learned the blocks (kyokushin) was exactly as this sensei showed, but I never saw this explanation how the cross movement you be applied for joint locks. That was a real eye opener to me! Thank you.
Nice videos! And as a Matsubayashi Ryu practicioner I feel lucky you started your tour through okinawan karate precisely with Matsubayashi and one of its great Masters. Thanks a lot for your work!
The way he explained the cross block reminds me of Filipino martial arts block and counter. The beauty of martial arts is that you can see the similarities and alot of differences in techniques even with both your styles and other arts. I learned more of a mixed martial arts style. Okinawan karate was one of the arts I wanted to learn when I was younger when I lived in Okinawa, but unfortunately didn't get to do it. My father didn't think I really wanted to do it and would just waste the money. I did learn judo, FMA, military grappling and fighting styles, etc. from him though and learned boxing from my brother. There was also a old man that taught us other FMA styles which my father never taught like using of weapons. The one reason I learned martial arts is to learn to defend myself because I was smaller than most kids my age and usually get picked on. I just developed a love for martial arts of any kind.
This Sensei his concepts are clearly and easy to understand, a Master
In the traditional Tang Soo Do I learned in Korea, the arms are crossed like what is demonstrated in the video, for the same reason.
I learned Taewondo back in 2007 and we did learn to cross the hands for blocking too!! Oh my god it's universal!! It's so cool!! It makes this super tight space guard but fluid at the same time and when you get the feel you're going to do it all the time. It saved me from side kicks to the chest and head faster all the time because kicking a crossed arm like that hurts your opponents feet, i know because i tried lol.
man watching your videos bring me nostalgia Yusuke-san.
This is a good master teacher. Very solid information he gave you.
I love this Okinawan series. So good to see.
Thank you for doing this series. I practice Matsubayashi Ryu, and we utilize all of these concepts. It is nice that someone is cataloging the teaching from such a master.
I also love to see how Okinawan styles and their masters are so relaxed and humble compared to the more organized and strict taught Japanese styles with more emphasis on discipline, perfection of movement and hierarchy
I had been doing karate shotokan for 25 years and in the last 3 years ive been doing shorin ryu karate from okinawa. I like and i combine both tecnics and its just amazing.. i love the do and all karate do stile cause i learn a lot!! Hai.!!
Keep it up!
In my dojo we start with the arm straight in blocks to develop muscle groups that are used for multiple purposes. When these blocks are understood and the muscles ready we start using the relaxed arm bent style.
I really enjoyed the kosa explanation from sensei. Thank you for sharing.
Matsubayashi Ryu is awesome 😲
Yes, we also have the kosa motion in my style, Nippon Kenpo Karate. The idea is leave no space for te attacker to find an opening. Even when we kick in kumite and self-defense, we put up a modified inside block for protecting the face and torso.
Thank you, Yusuke-san, this is awesome! もっと祝福してください!
Can't wait for the next episode!
Coming up today!
Yep! I’m treningi Shorin Ryu. We always cross arms. 😊
Amazing 🙏
I done TKD to green belt. I changed the karate here in Oklahoma USA to Shorin Ryu. Very nice change and also is great to be more well rounded in self control and self defense. Great video sir.
I think for beginners it is ok to keep the front arm straight (not locked though) but later with the growth of knowledge and experience naturally this straight arm will become bent (crossed) as Matusbayashi is about relaxation of the muscles and using joints rotaiton (developping 3D momentum). So, the answer to you question Yusuke-san is a function of the karateka's level. That is what i believe in and what i teach to my students too. :-) And again thanks for the great videos!
Thanks for your insight!
Key-point informative.!
Thank you..
These little videos are full of greatness.
I look forward to what you do next.
~ Osu
Awesome video .....you are learning moves.... i thaught i invented , i was never taught this , it was only a concept math that seemed to work in my head , to see it being taught is amazing .
Bravissimi! Grazie!
Thanks!
This is great. I study kung fu, one particular style from Taiwan that is said Okinawa karate originated from and seeing this lessons you had with the sensei remembered me with my sensei. The same lessons, the same concepts. It feels like it is actually the same style. Anyway, great job with the channel.
Yes. Always Kosa in Shorin Ryu as well as 腰を入れる koshi o ireru as we saw in the kicking episode.
cool video ...defence conditioning is so important
I can't help but feel some familiarity with the looseness of Freestyle while keeping true to its roots.
Hello Yusuke thank you so much for these Matsubayashi Ryu Karate video series. What I saw from this awesome video is, there are some similarities with TKD blocks but for the concept for example "the center line theory", the application concept of the bolcking techniques are more near to Wing Chun or Wing Tsun. The arms are always very ckose to the centerline as a preventive strategy against too fast unblockable attacks. Can you please make a video with a Wing Tsun Sifu. I am sure it would be very interesting expirience for you as well as for us viewiers to see the similarities of Wing Tsun and Shotokan. Believe me after over 15 years of Shotokan, Kyokushin, Shorin Ryu etc. Karate styles I switched over to Wing Tsun. -My personel expirience was that: Karate and Wing Tsun are deeply related in many techniques. After watching this video, I think that Matsubayashi and Wing Chun have a deep bond in the "Cebterline Theory". Also Bruce Lee's JKD focuses on the this theory. Keep going dear Yusuke, your videos are really good. I deeply appreciate all of them. I am also a B licence 3. Dan trainer in WAKO Kickboxing in Turkey. Your videos are gold for me.
In modern Kukkiwon taekwondo, we keep the hikite arm straight on gedan-barai. However, on almost all other blocks we cross/bend the hikite arms. Or, really, the crossing of the arms is more of a function of turning the hips prior to blocking. Still, other than a few exceptions, we usually cross the arms.
I see! Thanks for sharing your insight!
I have practiced a few styles of karate, either from cross-training or from moving to a different place where I couldn't find a dojo of something I practiced before.
In a small city in California I encountered a style that I practiced for about 3 years, called Wa-te ryu. They cross their arms to execute the basic blocks. I learned how to use that "cross" to let the punch reach your arms, followed by trapping the arm similar to what sensei was doing on 2:24 but with a little more dynamic and explosive examples.
Thank you so much for going to Okinawa and sharing the details of the art. I experienced "kosa" with most Southern Chinese martial arts, and "kosa" was used mostly for trapping -- or a secondary layer of defense against feints.
My background is Korean and Southern Chinese arts, but these days, I am enjoying the esthetics of Japanese Karate. I find myself practicing Karate these days thanks to your channel, especially your channel. I also watch Kuro-obi World (Tatsuya Naka) and the 沖縄伝統空手Okinawa Traditional Karate Channel. These are the only channels I watch for Karate. (The 沖縄伝統空手Okinawa Traditional Karate Channel has a bad-ass intro theme. Makes me want to put on a dogi and run around and punch things)
you are great sensei ( very nice videos
I teach it pretty similar, we cross arms and use the load like an elbow Guard the block itself is striking and controlling limbs. We don’t hikite to our hip, we pull elbow to the side of the pec
Thanks for your insight!
I am a practitioner of Goju Ryu, my Sensei teaches us this as well. To always protect our midline. Great video thank you both 🙏🏼
Great video and I am a Tang Soo Do practitioner and we do cross our arms
I was not Crossing my arms for the blocks learned here Sensei. I would pull back and snap with back arm. I would do this to leave my rear arm free for a second block or strike. However, with as much power as I have and after Episode 2, I see the value in being able to grapple with our blocks in a self-defense scenario outside of the Dojo/Gym. Thanks to Matsubayashi Ryu. Again, I do MMA and am largely self taught.
INCREIBLE, CUANTO RESPETO SENSEI YUSUKE, ME RECUERA A SENSEI NAKA CUANDO DICE O HACE AAAOOOOOOOO COMO SI SE SORPREMDIERA DE LO QUE ESTA APRENDIENDO.
Awsome
Very fascinating , as for kosa or crossing. Well as you know I’m a Shotokan Karateka. In my opinion(or it could be how I was taught) the crossing is there, just that it seems like it appears at a different point of the execution or angle depending upon the movement, kihon drill, &/or kata. As I’m practicing before before bed I probably get better view of what I’m trying to describe.
Looking forward to seeing the kata demonstration. Especially since the primary katas I’ve done at home since last April has been Tekki.
Ossu Sensei 🇯🇵👏🥋Sugoi !
Another great video sensei, I cross for all uke waza. Greetings from Mexico 🇲🇽, nidan kyokushin, sandan shitoryu, osu
Thanks!!!!
great!! I´ve always wondered why I should block kicks with my forearms, wich can only absord 15 times higher strength on the flat side thanks to its unique structure,
when instead I should focus on the wrist joint, but I guess it compensates when he kicks with his ankles
I love your openess to information and trying it. I have studied at a couple different dojos and never had this Kosa concept explained , eventhough I felt that it was happening. As for the straight arm while blocking, I suppose it matters what you want to do after the block. Is the straight arm like a parry or a push while the bent arm leads into trapping and locking.
I've been watching all the videos so far and basically it's pretty much the same of old school Shotokan. Which for me is very interesting. But the fact that okinawan sensei's give much more personal attention to the student may be the whole difference on the process of teaching/learning of Karate.
We perform the seiken gedan barai (downward block) in Kyokushin Karate, exactly the same way as the master has shown you in this video segment, Sensei Yusuke. So our other arm is not pointing downwards, while the blocking hand from the top, on the side of our head, comes down, following the trajectory of the hand already downwards.
The only time we have such a technique in such manner in terms of its bunkai (application), is when someone grabs your wrist, from one of the hands pointing downwards and in a self defense situation, we use the other free hand, to bring it to the side of head like in a typical gedan barai motion. Only this time that hand is not blocking a front kick to the groin, but rather it is breaking the grab on our hand, from the the opponent.
I enjoy the practicality of Okinawa karate, our shorin ryu club did enter a few tournaments but we do not train for pure kata and jiyu kumite for WFK style Olympic sports karate. A lot of the kata is then practised and all bunkai is taken to a street and practical defence level. A lot of hip movement is in shorin ryu, which is told to be whip like when delivering strikes and kicks. A lot of the Kosa action is already integrated, but I can see differences with this style opposed to shorin ryu, but I can also see the similarities too. It’s good to see the moves have practical elements and conditioning to improve them.
In Wado ryu we cross arms for blocking as well. It has a similar covering/extra block/strength purpose.
Great videos. Thanks
Cool, thanks
Thank you for these amazing karate videos my friend! Hype! I usually cross (kosa), so that I can use inner strength for blocking. My style is karate kenyu-kai.
Hi sensai thank you for this video im also a student of matshubayashi shorin ryu.
AS far as blocking goes, in USA Goju, we do "cross" our arms, but the extended hand is used as the parry and then the rear hand is the clearing, or "block".
I learned the "Kosa" concept as an outreached arm angled across with palm down to grab, then Hikite, pulling the opponent toward you as you perform the Uke...similar but slightly different
When we cross our arms, the top can be an inside parry before the harder outside block.
I learned this technique in my Goju school in Japan as well! One bunkai I was taught had to do with Dougi throwing techniques, like Judo.
In Shitoryu, we bend our elbows when crossing arms in the blocks... Similar to the Okinawan styles
I see! Thanks!
Yes,I cross my arms in majority of my blocks ..It also gives my blocks power .
Consider that the crossing hand is actually the blocking or deflecting hand, and the blocking hand is actually a covering/controlling motion leading to a technique such as a choke or armbar. It's not just a block.
Hipmovement and explovesiveness is a key to Karate defense , also if you expand to Aikijitsu . Using your Hips to strike hard from a block aswell as go to alternative techniques like locks and throwing if opportunity holds it is key. But mostly you keep on striking while throws or armbars are mostly only available options to an opponent that makes mistakes or has no backround in martial arts whatsoever.
Hello there my friend,I'm from Tahiti French Polynesia, I'm in shotokan black belt, very interesting video with that Seinsei
Yes, target the joints! Very astute lesson. In practice, we specifically target the knobs of the elbow joint. Very painful. However, I tend not to target the knee joints because I and many of my training partners have bad knees. Well, maybe I'm just getting old... lol Anyway, we strike shins mainly for body conditioning of both uke and shite. Stronger forearms and shins with less injured knees.
We/I start with the arm extended (not "straight" exactly) but relaxed so that they cross as the block occurs. Same joint lock applications, center protection, snap/whip, etc.
If I had instructors like this i would have never quit Karate
My understanding is that when you cross your arms, you are initially protecting your centerline because you may not perceive where your opponent's strike is going to land at that point. Also, make sure to keep your blocking arm on the outside so that it doesn't get pinned under the other arm, using waist turning to send the block out and avoiding the pin. One last thing: I was taught to use the OUTSIDE of the forearm, that it wasn't a block at all but a fore-arm strike; the palm up version, on the other hand, isn't done hard but pulls back WITH the opponent's attack, deflecting it much like a western boxer would do.
it would make sense to mention though that in order to use gedan barai against the kneejoint of the mae geri you would need to use sabaki first to use the block from that close distance or indeed grab the leg as the master showed. In that case extending the arm as done in shotokan and my old style kyokushin when performing gedan barai makes sense, as the extended arm shows more of a grab movement before doing the block. I think by really crossing the arms as how the master does, could potentially be more useful for doing sabaki first and evade the kick first so you can block the knee...At least that's how I see it. Interesting videos though, I love to see how karate can be so broad in styles with each style doing their moves different in detail with well explained reasons
We have a similar way of blocking, but a different explanation. It's a double block. The uke is not the block, the pointing hand slaps away the strike or grab the hand, and the uke is an attack to either the muscle or the joint, going into a joint lock and manupilation
Yes, i learnt same style of blocking in Shito Ryu. My senpai also taught me how to stun the mid punches. I felt penetrating pain when he did a gedan barai to my wrist.
For wado, we mostly make sure our blocking elbow crosses the line of attack, or the center. The other hand just comes to hikite. This is if we’re only doing kihon or kata. In fighting we could be using the non blocking hand to attack at the same time. So we don’t cross at all.
Mr. Miyagi and his student Yusuke-San
in hapkido, we have a vertical block in difficult sideway but for KRAV Maga 2 block technique one is you block at the same to attack another block 360 degrees, and in Hachi kyokuken less of block and more attacking
In ITF Taekwondo we cross our arms...much like this style of Karate. I think kalaripayitt people cross their arms too.
I see! Thanks!
Yes. Funnily enough, I now do Kukki TKD and found they cross the arms differently.
awweeesooooomeee:)))
i'm on shotokan and i have to say that we practice the kosa concept too, only difference, we also idealize tha before kosa the shinite hand extend like a active defense (expecially in back step) than cross to a kosa during the hikite
i think this kosa concept, not talking about the rigid form of kata, really depend from sensei idea of fight application
i do the crossing arms cause from there you can do other thing pryor to the finishing move🙂
Wow! "Koso" is cross style in boxing. Osu!
Ahh I see
I cross and bend my arms on blocks. Something for you to consider on blocks that may make them more practical for you. Instead of the standard block, think of the JKD principle of the way of the intercepting fist, and use a punching technique to cross and intercept the incoming strike. It's so much faster than traditional blocking. Where the fist goes the arm follows :-)
Using the blocking system as set of counter strikes, or strikes against the attackers striking appendage is much more effective than just trying to block the strike. A block absorbs some damage for the defender and no harm to the attacker however using a block like a strike can negate all damage to the defender and cause serious damage to the attacker.
pretty much same in TKD, every hand movements are crossed and twisted. straight arm alway pointing at your opponent until the arm crossing point
For the crossing part, i think it is situational. you cant pull that crossing stance everytime you block your opponent's attack because a trained fighter attacks very fast.
I think you can do this kind of block and chain it to the grappling skill only to a non-trained fighter thug. but, it is really effective to neutralize them and have high probabilty to end a fight without have to hurt them
Is that Naihanchi video up?
👍
We cross our arms in our Kenpo forms & techniques, it's called wiping the guard. In case they grab your block. In our Kung Fu, sometimes.
Happy 24's birthday!
Thanks!
Always X!!
♥
Thanks!
My teacher taught me the crossing the arms when doing the blocks but its crossing is very small to minimize effort.
What was the hip movement for the low block. The master low block look like strikes and are very strong.
He did both to the Hanmi and Zenmi!
@@KarateDojowaKu every since I started practicing on your youtube channel. I been looking at my hip movement move. I still do it the korean way but with a shotokan twist. More dynamically.
Kyokushin, the other arm is straight, but I can see that keeping them crossed has more defensive quality’s.
Yes, I cross them, but I am doing Nanbodo 😊
I started karate with shotokan. After a few years i started kyokushin and everything i see in this series is what i've learned. Being on both sides of the styles i can now say that unfortunately in shotokan, students became so good at stopping their kick and punch that they developed extra Hara movement that cancel the force of the kick just to stop it. Everything that is teached here can be observed if fullcontact sparring is done. Otherwise we will all be very good at not hitting someone
Thank you. Please wish everyone well. Is he related to Katshuiko Shinzato? Who is also in Matsubayashi
I'm not sure since there are a lot of Shinzato-san in Okinawa
映像上げていただきありがとうございますところで、私が知っている空手ラングは非常に違うね伝統空手ですか
Different preparation for different blocks for different bunkai. Same end results.
The general idea is that okinawan blocks hurt
Bent arms and happy Birthday!
Thanks and thanks!
Is it wrong for a Shotokan practioner to incorporate bending the arm instead of straight. I see the advantages alot more
I keep it bent .....it's less likely for my opponent to break my arm if it is not extended all the way.
Also if you are extended all the way you are fully committed to a movement with an end hence no room for transition to another movement.
If you miss your rest point to your destination while traveling the wrong way it weakens the spirit and outlook of the journey hence harming direction to return from.

striking Knee BTR 4shur!
In wing chun we don't cross our arms in certain situations for fear of getting trapped
