An old friend of mine who was a survivor of the war told me about how fierce, formidable, and admirable the Japanese fought and spoke of them with reverence and not hatred.
@@optimusmaximus9646 The men that fought revere worthy opponents. You can't help respect the way warriors conduct themselves in battle if they do so bravely. Nobody was kissing Japanese ass dude.
@@optimusmaximus9646 I'm sorry but that's not related to the subject matter of the conversation and it's irrelevant that they committed the atrocities they did. Nobody is romanticizing the reality of war and combat. Period.
very very insteresting! especially considering that most of that "athleticism" training has western origin imho (or russian inspiration, german advisor etc.), definitely foreign. and knowing how japan was conservative and nationalistic, especially that time, and still they used it, because it works and it was neccessary. that meritocracy principle is very important if someone wants to win a war. even this is kinda western mentality. you can see how world is united for a long time, practically from ever as different cultures established contact with each other...
Muy buen video, excelente!! Podría por favor hacer un video sobre la influencia del Karate marcial _ qué en aquel entonces sí era marcial _ en la formación del ejército imperial japonés de aquel entonces, se le agradece mucho el video. "Domo Arigato"
Except they didn't. Officially approved martial arts for the Army included kendo, judo, jukendo, kyudo (for officers), and two jujitsu styles. Navy approved kendo, judo, jukendo, sumo, and, for officers in the command staff, aikido or aikibudo as it was called at that point. Indoviduals might train karate, but it wasn't an approved martial art.
@HG-ui8gf Not off the top of my head, no. It was years ago while I was in Japan that I studied all this and I simply don't remember the details, sorry. There're too many damn jujitsu schools/styles for me to remember! :)
I just found something interesting. It says the "Imperial Japanese Army Nakano School" did teach Karate, after it was determined that Aikido was too technical for the students.
The Japanese army doesn't get enough credit for how fierce of fighters they were. They often had inferior equipment, numbers, supplies and were fighting against US Marines - who are some of the toughest fighters on the planet - and they still stood their ground.
US Marines were still teaching units "attack by the coloum" in WW2. That's a Napoleonic era tactic. US Marines might be aggressive, but they were not bright, refused to adapt, and suffered much higher casualty rates than they needed to. The bulk of the fighting in the Pacific was done by US Army troops, not US Marines - and the Army suffered lower casualty rates while they were doing it.
Credit??? They treated Drafted Japanese soldiers like shit, where the life they were exposed to made life a desirable preference, hoping for a good death and not a bad death.
They were already mostly defeated by then and Japan was already trying to negotiate terms of surrender. The bombs were a flex against Stalin and a war crime.
@@anthonyagureyev307 The A-bombs were necessary. I don't think that there could have been any acceptable terms of surrender between the Japanese or the Americans at the time. The 2 sides were too far apart in what they were looking for. This means that the nest step was either an invasion of the main islands or dropping the bombs. An invasion would likely have lead to casualties that would make people throw around the word genocide. Estimates of the time suggest casualties of 500,000 American troops and atleast 5 million Japanese. My personal belief on that is much worse than those estimates. However, the bombs had the hope of shocking the Japanese into a surrender and ending the war with less bloodshed. As horrifying as the bombs were (I don't say that flippantly), they ended up preventing a much more destructive outcome overall for all involved, Japanese included.
@anthonyagureyev307 To add to the other comments, the Japanese were trying to surrender... on their own terms. The whole reason why there was a second bomb was because they had actually refused to surrender after the first and nearly passed a vote to continue the war after the second bomb. The bombs fulfilled a very valid tactical use, namely that they accomplished what an entire fire bombing campaign and invasion would do without risking Allied lives.
Who knows the history of what happened to the Imperial Japanese Army when they abused the Seediq Bale tribe of Taiwan? They found out that all their military infantry training, rifles and machine guns were no match for the warriors of the Seediq Bale wielding jungle knives, bow & arrows and rifles taken from the Imperialist Japanese infantry. ruclips.net/video/u_ocnUbrVd0/видео.htmlfeature=shared

Get all the history you can!!!!! Someone will take and change history too suit there agenda
What about the stories and pop culture ref, of the Imperial Armed Forces having karate training?

@@iatsd ok, I did find that aikido was taught to the Kwantung Army and the Imperial Household Agency.

@@iatsdexactly! us army has just brainwashing training which gives their soldiers superior mindset which is not based on reality...
Actually most of IJA was tied up in China
WWII
Anything goes.
Didn't work out so well.
bushido way. Until atomic bomb stopped Japanese aggression👀
