I really want to train there. Nice video on flexibility. Long live Okinawan Karate. Long live traditional martial arts. Long live Asian culture. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much for this inspiring and informative video. I am 63 years old and have had 2 hip surgeries (same hip, left), back surgery (spinal stenosis and a pinched sciatic nerve), arthroscopic right knee surgery and an enlarged heart. These injuries were from being over weight and also injuries from childhood to youth not Shorin. I am going back to doing the karate that I use to do (Shorin-ryu) some 35 years ago in Bradenton, Fl. It helped condition me and I had good flexibility, which helped me walk with no problems. I have to do something to have a better quality of life. Thank you again.
Hola, como estás, te pusieron algo en la cadera clavos de fijación, es que doctores no recomiendan karate si tienes operaciones, y busco información al respecto
Very very helpful and inspirational video. As a beginner in shito ryuu karate, I was tensed about flexibility a lot. Now I have got a lot of enthusiasm from this video.
This came exactly at the right time. I’ve been training for the last 6 years, last 3 years daily. I will not get more flexible not matter what I do. Except this: keep pushing 1mm!
The butterfly stretch seems to be most important, but someone has to help you by first pushing your knees downwards with his hands, and once comfortable, eventually stand with both feet on them so that they touch the floor. Once you master this, you can do the Kakato-Geri very well!
Flexibility is very important for overall health and blood circulation. Hardcore flexibility is not only important for kicks, it’s great for punches and grappling as well.
IMO , there are. In the KATA "Jion" (Shorin ryu version) ， there are one-two punches that keep the rear hand guarding the face , thought not as high as boxers punches , but big different from hikite .
@Fred Forbes I try to practice kick as much as I can because I naturally have strong thick legs...I'm not sure if that helps but I like to utilize them...I also feel kicks make distance....can ya check out a few of muh training vids...feel free to criticize the shit out of my training....helps me try harder.
I literally just practiced to stretch and want to know the Karate method I can’t believe RUclips algorithm suggested me this the moment I opened it. Damn CIA be really watch u 😂
Find the high kicks in Okinawan kata, there aren't any....it's thanks to sport karate high kick have been added, first to Japanese karate and later infiltrate Okinawan style. High kicks aren't useful in the street and also you need to be careful how you train for flexibility....many of my dojo friends from the 1960s have had hip operations due to harsh flexibility training
Yeah, no matter how flexible you are, you won't pulling a high kick on the street. Unlike the gi made for athletic functioning, your casual clothes are gonna stop you from stretching your leg to do a high kick. Also most shoe make it easier to lose balance doing high kicks than bare feet
I don't think high kicks aren't useful in the street. Search RUclips "Чеченец против Омона. Митинг на Пушкинской площади 23 января Москва" for exemple.
Im aware that flexibility is important component of martial arts. In one of Karate Nerd's video (meant to say Sensei Jesse Enkamp's video) says that Okinawan karate did mostly kumite and that origins to having boxing in place like Philipines (specifically Kali). I will not understand why hip mobility will be just as essential when Karate in its history had its own routes in pacific islander's boxing methods.
@@dekaw9138 ..of course is good for health,balance and doing full splits like Van Damme?.. All I said is useless in a street fight... it is a very fine limit beyond flexibility and sheer legs stability on the ground? Nothing is worse than missing a high kick..and the other grabs your leg in the air? That was my humble point? But combined with sheer legs power,and hitting not above the waist?.. aim for the balls my friend!...then they will try to protect zer yavol muchachos cohones?...then you hit him in the nose! kiss:)

You need to be able to pull a strong high kick in order to have a perfect kick to the mid-section, which is VEEERY useful in a street fight. A Mawashi.Geri to the ribs, the liver or solar plexus is guaranteed to bring any opponent down.
言うだけで全然やってない。本当これ。これに尽きる。おっしゃる通りです。年齢によるけど無理しすぎると逆に筋肉か筋が切れる時あるから、言われてたように稽古の後が一番良い

Very well explained.

Are there punch without hikite like boxers punches in the ancient karate?
IMO , there are. In the KATA "Jion" (Shorin ryu version) ， there are one-two punches that keep the rear hand guarding the face , thought not as high as boxers punches , but big different from hikite .
Thank you
" Very Important Martial Arts ". .. Great Stuff on Documentary Okinawa Tradizional Karate. .. So' Nice. .. Osu ... ☺😊😀/👍👌👏👋
But really tho ...I prefer kicking over punching so I can understand the serious need for flexibility....

@@SavedSnake dont let m get distance, shorter and knees
The key to become flexible? 1 cm of even .5 cm at a time.
Ossu. Hello from algeria
I literally just practiced to stretch and want to know the Karate method I can’t believe RUclips algorithm suggested me this the moment I opened it. Damn CIA be really watch u 😂
Best comparison food and karate. As a karateka you can’t live without 1 or the other....
Vegetables are only important if you don't eat organ meats. Else, completely unncessary actually :D
OSU!!

@@mike393000 Chuck doesn't kick people. People kick themselves when they see Chuck. LOL
@Rob Koch A low kick can also be used as a sweep to take someone to the ground. Depending on how you use it, it can be devastating.
That hurts me just looking at it...😲
0:30 I was wondering how they did it without hurting the balls??

Karate is it’s own , it didn’t have to borrow from other places.
