After having back surgery, Kobudo became my main form of rehab! Bo staff and 3-section-staff are my main instruments. People love to see an old man work the 3-section, and they make my back feel great!
Yes, Bo(staff) is part of KOBUDO but the staff is the Oldest weapon used in the Martial arts and it originated from CHINA as well as the 3-Section Staff which also originated from CHINA.
@@craigbosko2229 Okinawa did so much for the martial arts world, it's like saying China invented the stick. What Okinawa did with the weapon and technique far surpasses China.
Absolutely agree! Learning weapons shouldn’t be discouraged because of a name. Even if you do focus on just empty handed techniques, learning weapons can improve those empty handed techniques. The more you learn, the better. Why limit yourself?
You are brilliant, sir classical Okinawan, Kante, is definitely Chinese influence. And the weapons are a big part as well. You can’t have the left without the right! well done in good research!🙏
@B_men_apo Taekwondo is a Korean style karate. The black belt ranking used in Taekwondo, Tangsudo, and Judo are the Korean version, borrowed from the Japanese.
If you watch the ‘Seven Samara(?)’ farming tools were the origins of martial arts vs bandits, pirates or those villagers who desired to protect their crops & follow villagers & farmers. Weapons were consolidated to different styles as an extension of the body and the ‘weight training’ to enhance physical & mental acuity.
I doubted and never saw any resemblance in karate when i was told it was a Shaolin kungfu, after your research vid i realised modern Shaolin is not the same as the original Shaolin monk fist 🤯 Karate is the actual successor!
Five Ancestors Fist is my primary style, in addition to Taijiquan, and it's really cool to see my Japanese martial brothers and sisters reconnecting and learning from the style. It's what makes martial arts so fulfilling; the chance to learn from one another and come together regardless of background.
I practice wado-ryu karate and sometimes i talk to my senseis about the information i get from your videos and they like how interested i am in learning the art
Nice. I tried both. Karate and Kobudo. Kobudo completed my understanding of several katate techniques. If you have the possibility to try it out, do it!
Ive heard this too! Karate, taekwondo...etc, these sport asian unarmed arts, have weapon based roots before becoming sports.( they changed since they could be more popular this way, time of peace, less lethal and more self defense)I hear its quite rare to find teachers who teach the weapon side of the art.
Empty: Spontaneity. No clouding by emotions, no distraction by the ego and therefore no time difference between realisation and action. The historical aspect is another ...
Most environments have a weapon. Training with rocks and sticks is enjoyable and practical. It's important to maintain the efficiency of movement in martial arts training.
Interesting. I was sure that "kara" is connected to the "emptines" that is a direct link to the zen buddhism concepts... Means that in every "blow" , your mind and heart should be totaly empty and focus.
In the 1960-70s all the Karate, Kungfu, Silat schools had weapons training besides empty hands. Silat practitioners are even taught to apply poison to their bladed weapons! I don't remember seeing Taekwondo students practicing with weapons though! Maybe in Korea they do.
Considero que el autentico budoka debe cumplir con las cuatro K's: Kihon, Kata, Kumite y Kobudo. Con estas cuatro herramientas se logra el mas completo de los guerreros.
I understand that the Okinawan’s were pressured by the Japanese to change “Chinese “ hand to empty hand? This was due to animosity towards the the Chinese at the time.
People think Toude means “China hand”. 徒弟 or “Toudi” is “disciple”. Meaning that when these Uchinanchu fighter went to go learn 武术/功夫 from their Chinese masters. They were admitted as disciples and thus were known in the Chinese martial arts world as such.
I always have a problem with 'should' or 'should not' arguments based on the name of a martial art. The founder of the Shotokan Style of China-hand decided that it would be Empty-Hand instead in his Japanese base. He did not, however, have any problem with other Okinawan masters coming to Japan and including weapons training in their martial arts system. End of story. Each separate system 'should do' what's right for their system.
Look at kata beeing enployed with and without weapons, Kata is still same. Meaning If you can not employ weapon to kata movement kata is no good. All movement is same, weapon is only an extend of hands. You have to into this concept to understand that real kata is blueprint for fighting style, how to generate power for strikes with or without weapons. I know this because I’ve been studying Okinawa TI for decades under my master. Naifaunchin family style karate. We are a small group based in Denmark studying TI, Genten Kai … look us up
Thanks for subscribing!! 🔥🥋🙏

No way Jessie liked this 🤨
@@cricketfitness8845 either he didn't get the joke, or he has a big sense of humor 😅
The Shotokan kata started making so much more sense after I started learning weapons in Bujinkan. Amazing stuff
Absolutely agree! Learning weapons shouldn’t be discouraged because of a name. Even if you do focus on just empty handed techniques, learning weapons can improve those empty handed techniques.
The more you learn, the better. Why limit yourself?
Congratulations.Amen,I couldn’t agree more.

Certenly, all ancient masters trained both things. Thanks Jess.
Thanks, Jesse. I've studied from the 5 ancestors as well. It's hard to find instructors in the USA who can trace their lineage back to that style.
Awesome 💪
i did. the Kong Han club has a branch in Orange County
@@KARATEbyJesse the part of Southern China was from Fujian in Jinjiang. and the people call themselves Lan Nang.
There's a 5 Ancestor school at Alibama too
Weapons add another dynamic to martial arts. Currently studying FMA and it's a whole new ball game when you add weapons to your training.
Definitely. I started last July, and it has had such an impact on me. Especially after having a kickboxing/muay thai background
Took American kenpo growing up taught by a former boxer. Very enjoyable experience
Fun fact the Korean art of tang soo do also means Chinese hand but it is more recognisable because the word tang is still in it
Tang Soo Do is basically karate, Korean karate.
True
@@neotenylv09 it’s a combination of karate and taekwondo mainly and at blackbelt level there is also some Chinese kungfu influences
@B_men_apo Taekwondo is a Korean style karate. The black belt ranking used in Taekwondo, Tangsudo, and Judo are the Korean version, borrowed from the Japanese.
Tang soo do is LITERALLY korean karate. Taekwondo is the art that combines karate with taekkyon@@B_men_apo
Weaponology enhances hand to hand skills
Thanks for the history lesson Jesse - hope you’ve been good 👌
Stay positive
Thanks, you too!
I’m fortunate to have my master teaching Tang Soo Do AND Okinawain Karate. 🥋 😊

Once, a Kung-fu teacher said to me that Karate isn't nothing but Okinawa's Kung-fu.
Shadow fight 2 has never made much more sense to this day and my childhood back then now
you always got interesting karate facts that are cool, I can't wait to see the next fact I should save for my black belt test
I couldn’t agree more. Thank you. 🙏 ❤
Creative as usual
Thank you for that information.Much appreciated you appear to know a lot.Keep on making that knowledge available.
I always wondered why there's the "empty hand" while nunchucks were associated with Karate
Wow, i never Put Karate and nunchucks together in my brain. For me its a chinese thing
It came from the fujian province from white crane boxing.
The eku and kon are traditional weapons...
To my understanding
Oss Jesse
Glad someone said this finally
I doubted and never saw any resemblance in karate when i was told it was a Shaolin kungfu, after your research vid i realised modern Shaolin is not the same as the original Shaolin monk fist 🤯
Karate is the actual successor!
You said it man.
congrats on 900K
That last bit was beautiful. Reminded me of "Kobu" Stage Theme of Ryu in Street Fighter 3: Third Strike.

This is very informing. Thank you.
We brought the Jo into our Shotokan training years ago. It opens up kata. Tools are a force multiplier.
I believe karate,the samurai way had the origin from Korea.
I think you mean “tang shou”. Which is an early style of Chinese martial art, or “Wu shu” which translates to “the art of using weapons”
Great explanation! Thank you sir
Nice. I tried both. Karate and Kobudo. Kobudo completed my understanding of several katate techniques. If you have the possibility to try it out, do it!
Ohhh Very good Sensei Shai Hay at the beginning ❤

Wise words from your mentor
Karateka with big iron on his hip is serious bisnes.
Great video as always 👍
The ad is blocking the text, so I don't know how to properly spell the sensei's name
Id love to hear what you think about old karate vs new karate. Ik you talked about it before but a long video would be great
I love the pronunciation of Japanese words/names but I don't know much of it.
Empty:
Spontaneity. No clouding by emotions, no distraction by the ego and therefore no time difference between realisation and action.
The historical aspect is another ...
It's true. That's why I practice yoseikan budo !
Great like always 👏
Which is why I practice Isshinryu--both karate and kobudo
I've always heard that the original art was called Okinawan-Te (Okinawan Hand), which branched out to Japan.
I practice both and I can say they are like hand and glove…
Most environments have a weapon. Training with rocks and sticks is enjoyable and practical. It's important to maintain the efficiency of movement in martial arts training.
Interesting. I was sure that "kara" is connected to the "emptines" that is a direct link to the zen buddhism concepts...
Means that in every "blow" , your mind and heart should be totaly empty and focus.
Beautiful
I wish Jesse would say hi to me it would just mean the world to me ❤
Okinawa, the birthplace of Karate.
Oss
Amen to that 👍
I wish Funakoshi-sensei are alive and all the doubts would be over well we only could make theory is still fun.
In the 1960-70s all the Karate, Kungfu, Silat schools had weapons training besides empty hands. Silat practitioners are even taught to apply poison to their bladed weapons! I don't remember seeing Taekwondo students practicing with weapons though! Maybe in Korea they do.
The problem is the weapons that are used in kobudo dont reflect anything you could reasonably encounter today.
For me, karatê and judô is the best.
Congrats on 1 million I’m starting my martial arts channel do you have any tips 😅
Good luck!! Don’t give up 😎
@@KARATEbyJesse thank you can I have a shout out I’m beginning to lose subscribers you don’t need to hey but you never give up love your vids man 🥋😀
Interesting video.
Thats why in the kata, the proper use of weapons are being shown.
Shuri-te, Naha-te, and Tomari-te

The cunning warrior acknowledges the limits of their fists. No hand or kick is more powerful than a lethal weapon.
It is actually learn from South Shaolin temple. Southern style Kung Fung.
Respect to Mr.miyagi❤❤❤
Excelente!!! Oss!!!
Very interesting, i only hear "empty hands" in a documentary
I understand that the Okinawan’s were pressured by the Japanese to change “Chinese “ hand to empty hand? This was due to animosity towards the the Chinese at the time.
Not so much pressured, more like chose to - it was pretty much a marketing decision.
Mma bro: "yeah, but tma don't work in the ring lmao"
Tma dude: *pulls out sword*
Ótimo filme OSS!!!💪💪💪👊
The real karate kid
Homelander doing karate now
Also karate was also inspired by kalayaripayattu as well as kungfu
Tonfa enjoyers

I am Japanese today....ありがとう
空手-sky hand was it not or was it 唐手-Chinese hand. But karate always indicate hand that ascend to range of target.
People think Toude means “China hand”. 徒弟 or “Toudi” is “disciple”. Meaning that when these Uchinanchu fighter went to go learn 武术/功夫 from their Chinese masters. They were admitted as disciples and thus were known in the Chinese martial arts world as such.
It is from India do you know bodidarman ❤
Karate was a combination of Chinese kenpo add Japanese te put together and they developed the art of karate
Is there a particular point of training where you think weapons should be added, or do you have to always included in the training?
Jesse San, info is on point as usual, but the Seishin ad is right in front of the subtitles and this is irritating. Just some honest feedback.....
I do weapons traoning alot! Karate has weapons too
My sensei is heihachi mishima
In Shotokai Karate the practice of Kobudo is pretty alive.
If you want some references ping me. Osu!
You have to go back further. If they are fighting with fishing or farming implements or not preloading the waist you haven’t gone far enough.
😳😮oʻzbekistan🇺🇿🤔HELOV😀 KARATE🥋🥇 🏆✊🤛💪🦾🦶🦵🦿 Senkiyuv😃
Jesse,do you know what the very 1st style was when it was brought from China ?
Well done for giving respect to the Chinese origins.
The kanji does mean empty hand. And the second part of training is kobudo along with kumite and more
I always have a problem with 'should' or 'should not' arguments based on the name of a martial art.

No "the birthplace of karate" mention, I'm sad now 😢
My karate background is Okinawan and it is anything but empty hands.

Of course, that is why Shorin Ryu Karate exists.
