I had the privilege to train in spain my country with Naka Sensei and this guy is an elite , humble and outstanding person . Dont want to be an attacker against him . He is really fast and he can inflict deadly damage. Respect Sensei Oss 🙏
Muy buen bunkai y aplicación sensei Naka ,el secreto es reacción explosiva da gusto verte y por sobre todo tu humildad , yo practico shorin riu y tú Shotokan tiene lógica,, osu 🇦🇷🥋👊
There are some really good Kata bunkai here There is also some strange stuff that in my humble opinion (12 years practicing koryu uchinadi) completely unrealistic wouldn't work in a million years Again I say why practice defence from the standpoint of being attacked by a karate reverse punch nobody is ever going to attack you like that The whole point of hikite ( pulling the hand to the hip) is to pull the opponent off balance and pull them in to the strike If a thing is worth doing it's worth doing right please thankyou 👍
You're of course right in your own judgement and point of view, and if this works for you, I won't try to tell you otherwise. So please take whatever resonates and works for you and leave the rest! We are all on our own and unique path... And I wish you to enjoy yours.

Todo lo anterior lo digo con el máximo respeto. Donde se ponga un buen judoka, karateka, taekwondoka, hapkidoka, etc se llevará un buen susto.
Naka Shihan is incredibly talented, particularly for his age, and his bunkai/ōyō is the best I've seen from a JKA practitioner. Nonetheless, there's still a few shortcomings. Notably some passive hikite's, repudiating the Okinawan principle of Meotōde (coupled/husband and wife hands); no call and response, with tori idling like a mannequin after the initial attack; and defences from straight punches, which although a possibility, aren't particularly common in self-protection.
Yes, Naka Shihan is one of the best and he always display an open mind with a humble spirit. What he demonstrate here is of course not real fight or real self-defense situations. He's just showing what can be learned and used from the Kata both in terms of techniques and principles in pre-arranged / basic kumite. The purpose is to enlight and enrich our practice by showing what can be done from apparently simple moves. Thanks for your comment!
@@yushingeiko That makes little sense to me, as all that could be achieved, arguably better, while retaining realism in the demonstrations; kata were designed to be mnemonic devices for pressure tested two person self-protection drills after all. I think a more likely answer is that they're biproducts of Japanese Karate's, particularly Shōtōkan's, general pedegogy. I could give examples if you'd like, but my intentions were never to dig on JKA/Shōtōkan or its practitioners, and I've already come across a little antagonistic, to which I apologise. I have much respect to Karate different to my own, while recognising its shortcomings, as I do my own. Not critising and seeking to improve a tradition is merely preserving the ashes, and tradition isn't about preserving ashes, but keeping the flame alive.
Ces techniques sont belles mais cela ne reflète pas du tout la réalité du combat; par exemple vous ne verrez jamais en combat réel un individu vous attaquer en se déplaçant comme on se déplace pour exécuter le oi zuki( coup de poing direct en se déplaçant vers l'avant); l'autre fait est qu'en combat réel l'attaque peut sortir de partout, dans toutes les directions et dans tous les sens et cela n'a rien à voir avec la façon dont les combats se déroulent sur un tatami dans un dojo. Au niveau du karaté l'adversaire attaque exclusivement avec les poings, les pieds,le coude, le genou, ; or dans la rue on est susceptible d'être attaqué avec un poignard ,un pistolet et que sais-je encore... J'estime que ce type de démonstration doit se faire en tenant compte de la façon dont l'on est agressé dans la rue,et non flatter son égo par le déroulement de techniques esthétiques juste pour plaire.Oss
Correct, but what if the purpose of this was not directly real fight but just giving exercises, tools and inspiration to enrich people's Karate? As punching a sandbag in boxing is or repeating your solfege when you are a musician...
Le karaté est comme une boîte à outils. Il contient une infinité de technique qui peuvent s'avérer efficaces lors d'une altercation ou en compétition sportive. Mais c'est également une de ses principales faiblesses. Dans un entraînement de karaté, trop de temps est consacré à l'apprentissage de techniques aussi nombreuses que superflues. C'est la raison pour laquelle des sports de combat comme la boxe anglaise, le Kick-boxing, le muay thaï ou la lutte sont plus populaire est plus efficaces. En effet en situation de stress il est très difficile d'exécuter des combinaisons complexes et/ou Spectaculaires. Le spécialiste tu auras beaucoup plus à même de restituer ses automatismes situation de stress que celui qui s'est éparpillé dans son entraînement. "C'est pour ça que comme disait Bruce Lee : l'homme qui a pratiqué technique 1000 fois et bien plus à craindre que celui qui a pratiqué mille fois une technique"
@@JackHanma Exactly, and that is precisely what traditional Karate is: endlessly repeating simple techniques in order to master them as much as possible, conditioning the body and the brain. There is a misunderstanding about Karate, most of the fancy things we see are just a modern Western approach to the art, practiced as a sport, and not the "old" way of practicing it.
@@Sonamgurung-b6t When you run and stretch everyday,it is for healty right? Martial art is same. (,more old people in martial arts). If you want fight only, you just need use weapon .
The problem with all these techniques is they do not apply to real life situations. The first being that most ordinary attacks are not with a straight punch or jab. The first attack is usually a hook punch from the right unless the person is left handed.
Yes, like practicing a Kata, repeating basic technique, hitting a bag, practicing pre-arranged self-defense sequences with knife and hooks in "buddies" mode...
The only thing that I feel is not realistic in this demo, is the attacker coming at Sensei in a traditional manner. Let the attacker move like a boxer or street fighter, then show kata working
You have 0 idea . Move like you want to move . If you fail against a kata movement lets say someone will try to attack Naka , you will die really fast . to a normal karate trainer they will inflict you really hard damage , believe me . For a person that never train or untrained it will be easy to reach impact point .
As with most martial arts it's all too stylized. Fighting doesn't work like that. People don't just stand there and let you hit them while you block their arm or hold their wrist.
Of course, and the purpose of this video is not real fight but rather demonstrating different techniques and move that can be learned from the basic Kata. And as always in Shotokan, the learning process starts with practicing the new techniques in a very simple way (without uncertainty and in reaction to simple and straight attacks), then, as the practicioner increases his skills, attacks become diversify and should be made faster and stronger.
@vontrap6942 we all know that deep shit that comes from your brain . One thing is sure and i can affirm it , you train everyday karate and one fucker come to try to hit you and this person is going to have a real problem.
@@THEmetopholus I wouldn't be so categorical. Historically martial arts were developed for combat and self-defense (and were used as such), and this is what we can call "Būjutsu". Then, they in fact evolved to mainly be practiced today as "Būdo", that is to say paths of personal development, or even sports. The second way of practicing arguably makes more sense and is more useful to most of us in the modern world, but that doesn't mean it is intrinsic to martial arts. In my opinion, it is the way we practice them that actually gives them their meaning. And of course, I practice them like Būdo... But that doesn't take away the fact that a kick remains a kick and a punch remains a punch, and that they can be useful in other conditions, and in particular in self-defense, in sport or in certain professions.

Naka sensei is definitely great! Thank you for sharing 🙏🏼
Thanks for posting!
This video shows how kata has a great application in a real fight.
What did you THINK kara was for?
Спасибо.
May Sensei Anko Itosu's name be praised! So many ideas for the Pinan/Heian kata.

Muito boas aplicações, abrem a mente para muitas possibilidades... Gratidão Sensei 🙏🇧🇷🙏OSS!
I like his laughing eyes, very special.
Great video. Great Master, Sensei of Martial Arts. My respects
I like this so much..
I love his speed and style. Can Almost see the Kung Fu in there.... 🥋☯️🙇🏼♂️
Outstanding! ❤❤❤
I thought the JKA discouraged exploring kata applications? Good for you!
Interesting, why did you think that?
Is Naka Sensei still teaching? I haven’t heard anything from him in a long time.
I think so! He's teaching in many seminars around the world and I recently saw videos of him teaching in his Dojo.
@@yushingeiko Thanks for answering!
DAMN HE IS FAST !!!!
Très bon karatéka !
This guy is awesome!
Yes, he absolutely is!
Some people dont know, what kata mean. Thank you. Osu!
Totally agree! Oss!
Most people don't know what kata is, especially these RUclips black belts who make vapid comments here, like some at the bottom of this feed.
