Thank you very much for watching this. I am very proud to be on the RUclips. I am very proud to training with Master Shinjo. Very respectfully, Yoichiro Kuniyoshi
This is Uechi Ryu. It is the first karate form I studied and is the REAL DEAL and incredibly strong and powerful. It also incorporates elements of judo. People may recognize it as the form used by Mr. Miyagi in the Karate Kid movies.
You can see how many times he has broken his hands over the years. I did this when I was younger and man it hurts I could not imagine doing it into your senior years.
Please note the controlled breathing to focus their energy and not the over dramatic screaming that’s over done for “show” in too many schools and tournaments. These are true Martial Arts practitioners and not just putting on a “show”. Much respect to both of them!
The scream or Kiai is applied in battle. It is not only to encourage yourself but to also frighten and intimidate the enemy. Here it is not necessary, although some consider it traditional.
I've seen the full doco on this master, his fists are insane, thick callous skin, his bones are deformed from years of training, they are extra big and thick. He's the real deal, for anyone doubting. It's a hardwood baseball bat and the wood he breaks are hardwood too.
The bat has a thin saw cut halfway through the handle. Its all tricks and illusions. The wood is balsa wood and incredibly soft also. Long time karate practitioner here btw.
@@TheStanimal77 Maybe where you train. But this master was tested by documentary makers, they gave the props for him to go to work, instead of relying on props that could have been tampered with.
@@SilverforceX damn you are a delusional. I feel bad sometiems that my principle don't allow me to make money milking guillable fools like you. Those "documentaries" are obviously staged, if they exist at all. You have 0 critical thinking. Just to think logically, why would a proper bat break upon contact with hand? If it was a real thing, it would just bounce, may be fly off the wielder's hand, but not break, it is way too sturdy for that.

@@eclipsewrecker and what do you base that on? Conditioned prejudice and clickbait? lol If you are going to claim something, back it up with evidence instead of talking rhetoric out of your arse like you are some sage guru
This is how it was in olden times. You were not trained for sport but for infallible solidarity in your duties as a warrior. It was more than a job to be loyal to your lord, it was an honor of the highest and it was unacceptable to fail your lord. It’s one thing to be a martial artist and a whole different thing to be a warrior. These men are warriors. It’s what I aspire to in my training. I have the highest respect for those who are true warriors.
Outstanding! The level of years of dedicated and VERY hard training for this is ridiculous. For those that don't understand, don't bother commenting. For those that do understand...respect!
The bat technique looked all right, but the board-breaking was rigged with heated boards. Any trained eye would notice that from them being darker than they're supposed to be and from how brittle they looked as he hit them. I don't use wood heated in ovens to make them easier to break. That's not skill; that's deception. ruclips.net/video/5ruc_fZQ6HU/видео.html
I very much apprecate this video. As someone who is half Okinawan and half French and a student of Master Kanei Uechi this was special to me. Je parle le Francais et Nihongo Haneshimas. Such a good video.
Once I was an adolescent, one guy showed me how to break a pencil with a simple leaf of a folded paper. I tried hard, but it didn't work. Then I concentrated all my will and belief, and it worked. Another day he said he simply broke the pencil with his hands while moving the paper swiftly. But I did it for real.
I’m sure there will be. As long as there’s a need to defend, condition, and strengthen there will be a need for such arts. It’s not all about fighting you know. It’s a lifestyle. Just like yoga, exercise, meditation, etc. there really is no economical value in being a sedentary couch potato. There are actually hidden costs to this lifestyle of heart disease, certain types of cancers, hypertension, diabetes, bad circulation of blood, and of course obesity but you see people living that lifestyle more and more.
I bow down for homage to both and to the audience and especially to the children who come a long way to be part of this festival or anything that makes you a good person in life for yourself and for others.
Мой старший брат (нане живет в ГДР)) занимался советским карате. От природы одаренный и фанат. Приехал к нему в Москву. Он жил в общежитии. Так он все общагу превратил в спортзал. Занимались с ним человек 200, а то и более ... Довелось видеть его в реальной разборке когда он и его кореш в двоем расхреначали кодлу 12 человек это было что-то. Те гады с ножами...Брат тогда говорил, что бойцом можно быть непродолжительное время 3-5 лет, когда все показатели на пике, а потом ты уже немного ветеран. Сейчас он обучает там кого-то. Кого не говорит. Вспоминаю., как он одним ударом руки свалих огромный забор на стройке))
This is how it was in the 1970's Shotokan Karate classes in the UK. The 'blood and guts" era. With 'legend' instructors like Enoeda, Kanazawa, Fuller and several 'hard' English 2nd and 3rd Dan sensei in dojo's around the Country. You learned karate very rapidly or you simply wilted and died 😂. Today things are just too sanitized with more concern being given to elf n' safety, insurance cover, wearing safety clothing etc... Great video - thanks.
1. Took Okinawan Kemp Karate in the 70's. Crab Stance was my selected option. Very brutal concepts and mindsets that mostly work in real life. 2. Took several styles of martial arts but wound up to Krav Maga which I considered the best all around form of real life protection. 3. Breaking boards and baseball bats, if you know where and how to strike is not that special, which is why in today's age everything thing like a baton is made out of a metal or of a polymer. Besides that very nicely done on the choreographs. This takes a great deal of proper timing on all parts so much respect on them.
J'aime beaucoup le kung fu et ses dérivés mais le karaté d'Okinawa ou d'autres régions me passionnent également. Le déplacement dans les arts martiaux c'est fondamental. Je conseille le karaté full contact si on aime le combat sinon les taos ou les katas comme on dit. Super en tout cas
I remember my sensei doing this kata every time before we started class, made him strong, then when I learned it, I figured out why, damn it made my body strong, I miss those days.
Aljon false, Sein shin kata is literally based on pure strength and being able to stay as strong as possible, whether it be in stance, arm or abdomen strength while maintaining proper breathe
Breathing technique, exhale every strike its more powerful. Proper form. You don't practice like this. You should punch a makirawa or kick a bag. Youre gonna break your bones if you hit urself with bats and punch hard boards without conditioning, its only for the strong not for beginners to get strong. Search seienshin Kata, do you see them punch always some hard stuff? No they just punch or kick the air. I can't agree its just pure strength.
It is the same training for Sanchin we practice on Goju Ryu. As a muscular contraction Kata, Sensei hits those points of his body to check if the stance and the muscles are solid.
@80 iridium Lol. They’re doing a kata called Sanchin. It’s supposed to be a human shield against attacks. Once you have trained it and are able to take the blows, only thing left to protect is the head and groin. Simple, right?
@@ninthkaikan1544 Right, and the old master is Kyohide Shinjo. Sanchin with open hands is typical uechi ryu, contrary to other karate styles which use closed fists (i.e goju ryu, kyokushin)
That was impressive the breaking of the bat , Kyokushin Karate practitioners can break several bats all together with their shin which I find also impressive I have seen Marco Lala who is a 5th degree black belt in Kyokushin Karate break several bats tied together with his shin as well
I trained with sensei Shinjo in his Dojo in Okinawa. He is known as the Okinawan Superman he is 9 time champion, Those who say boards don't hit back I guarantee you people don't either when you fight him
I was fortunate enough to have trained in Okinawan Karate in Henoko under Sensei Maehara and I can tell you it takes a lot of training to get to where these practitioners are. Very impressive.
...and then the mushrooms go up, seems a waste doesn't it? I often wonder what purpose we serve on this planet, and I have come to the conclusion that we are an accident. We shouldn't even be here if not for some bizarre DNA wizardry by an intelligent species. But hey ho, let the games begin.
Muy buena preparación física, Y el maestro lo considero muy fuerte,muy buenas técnicas, muy preciso,muy concentrado, mis reconocimientos y que continúe con ese gran nivel. Me gustó mucho sus movimientos sólidos,precisos, y el muy sencillo y tranquilo.Elegante en sus movimientos. Felicitaciones.
McDojos aren't typical in the West. They get a lot of well deserved attention and hate but they aren't typical at all. Western karate practitioners train the same as Eastern practitioners and develop the same skills.
@@MegaRhettButlerIf you don't practice fighting in a ring with real people on a regular basis, your martial art skills are worthless in a real fight, no matter how much wood you can break. That's because being in a fight is also a skill that if not practiced, it doesn't matter how much you know against an experienced fighter (Look up Xu Xiaodong, the MMA man beating up Kung Fu masters across China to understand what I mean). Took me a while to realize the truth, Karate was a nice base, but studying MMA now. Nothing wrong with studying martial arts in which dojos you never really fight either, it's great sport, form, tradition, just don't rely on it to save you in a real fight. I know it's not a popular opinion with traditional Martial Arts aficionados, but it's the honest truth. The internet is full of videos of masters surprised when they get their rears handed to them in a sanctioned fight, some look absolutely dazed as it's the first time you see them take a punch to the face.
@@Emanouche I'm not a Karate guy I do Muay Thai, and yeah I spar. I'm having my first fight in November. I didn't say Karate can beat MMA in my comment, I said McDojos aren't typical in the West. I've trained a few different styles and I've never personally been in a belt factory/McDojo. Karate is awesome for fundamentals. You can really tell the difference in Muay Thai between ex karate guys and untrained people. If you want to be able to fight you eventually have to fight. I agree. I also believe that traditional styles and MMA have things to teach each other and that there should be mutual respect between different styles. My club recently had a full contact event between Muay Thai, MMA, Freestyle Martial Arts and kickboxing clubs. We're a traditional style of Muay Thai but our guys did well (so did the MMA guys). All the clubs there were tough, all could fight and all showed respect for each other. There were no Tai Chi or Wing Chun clubs there however. I guess their skills were too deadly and they were afraid of accidentally killing us lol
@@Emanouche you miss many mma guys with karate background using karate form and fighting, maybe karate is not the best in the cage bc of the ground game etc, but saying it's not useful in real fight is wrong, it depends a lot on who you are up against and how you were trained, I was in a mcdojo as you call it, and it was easy to get belts, and pretty fast, however in the 4 years I practiced I received a kick in the face, that kick I remember to this day, even if the sparring we did was light and not full contact, It was a good place to train for a civilian use, I got the basic punches kicks and projection. Also good physical training, and self control were practiced. To my understanding Karate evolved from a martial art to a more civilian friendly use, sport etc. It's not fair to compare old karate with new one. And many MMA guys don't understand people watch and practice karate as a sport because they don't like blood splatters and unjustified violence, the standard MMA dude is so sure he will need to kill someone with is bare hands one day, wich is funny, and a litlle sad.
I guess 99%of the watchers will never understand how much power and focus it takes to hold a baseball bat that "strong" that the performer can break it. For every normal person holding it the bat would fly away and spoil the "trick".
Jiyukan i was thinking the same thing-the bats are specially made to take impact but if both ends are supported they are easier to break. this old man is incredibly tough and skilled
I lived on Okinawa in the mid sixties, wonderful memories of a beautiful island and culture. Just wish I would been smart and bought a sword from Master Hattori Hanzo while I was there. At least try his sushi.
The baseball bat is made of fir tree wood which means it will break with about 1/3 of the power needed to break a normal baseball bat. It's a great tool to practice power kicks and impress your friends. It's called a Shiwari Bat, made especially for Karate breaking.
I suspected something like this. That was way too easy (for a martial arts expert, or anyone). Wish they would do away with these dumb exhibition gimmicks. Its outdated and doesn't help their credibility when people realize they're basically a lie.
We trained to take hits with sticks and baseball bats in isshinryu too, but this guy's ridgehand is amazing. Probably takes at least 5 to 10 years full time training to be able to do that with a ridgehand.
All of the wood pieces are carefully selected to be light, very dry, have the most breakable grain, and it's all from softer species of wood. They turn the bats themselves or have someone else turn them...they're softer wood also, something light and dry, they're not made with the same type wood regular bats are made from...you can recognize that in the demonstrations if you pay attention to how the wood pieces break...was involved in these type demos years ago...was not performing myself but assisting the performers...and everyone in that group knew that's how they made the demos possible...still impressive feats these men are performing here, but not the near impossible ones they're perceived to be by most people.
Definitely took a lot of focus...but I can’t help but to point out that the student at the end looked like he was gonna cry from those hits. Just his facial expression made it look like it lol
The real hero if this video is the guy holding the bat. It is not that easy to hold something that light and breakable like THIS bat and not let it move when someone else hits it.
Thank you very much for watching this.
I am very proud to be on the RUclips.

Why did he have to heat the boards? This is not necessary if one is using the makiwara or doing the training with one's hands like one is supposed to.
Is this Gojuryu? I studied Gojuryu for awhile and it looked like after you took your gi top off you were doing Sanchin stance.
This is Uechi Ryu. It is the first karate form I studied and is the REAL DEAL and incredibly strong and powerful. It also incorporates elements of judo. People may recognize it as the form used by Mr. Miyagi in the Karate Kid movies.

What's that strike he do with the first board
NANI
I remember my sensei doing this kata every time before we started class, made him strong, then when I learned it, I figured out why, damn it made my body strong, I miss those days.
Kata is for technique not strength.
Aljon false, Sein shin kata is literally based on pure strength and being able to stay as strong as possible, whether it be in stance, arm or abdomen strength while maintaining proper breathe
Aljon also, how the fuck can that kata, where mf was having boards smashed over his legs, be more based on technique and not strength
Breathing technique, exhale every strike its more powerful. Proper form. You don't practice like this. You should punch a makirawa or kick a bag. Youre gonna break your bones if you hit urself with bats and punch hard boards without conditioning, its only for the strong not for beginners to get strong.
Search seienshin Kata, do you see them punch always some hard stuff? No they just punch or kick the air. I can't agree its just pure strength.
I also think this video is not kata but called uechi ryu conditioning as said in the description
The young guy impresses me even more, letting his killer of an instructor use him for batting practice.
It is the same training for Sanchin we practice on Goju Ryu. As a muscular contraction Kata, Sensei hits those points of his body to check if the stance and the muscles are solid.

Jiyukan I've held boards for a 6th Dan taekwondo grading. 8 boards, so much power.
UnleashedTraining101 so what
I love Okinawan karate style.
I lived on Okinawa in the mid sixties, wonderful memories of a beautiful island and culture. Just wish I would been smart and bought a sword from Master Hattori Hanzo while I was there. At least try his sushi.
Cool. My sensei was Musashi Miyamoto when I lived in Okinawa in the 40's.
Did u go to the place of movie The Karate Kid II....mr miyagi.
Amazing! He hits him in the stomach and the piece breaks. 👌👌 Iron Man
MASTER showed him the real power in him disciple.
pine wood will do that
Great life dedication to martial arts.
Eli Elfassy Yeah to lazy to do real work
This gentleman is over 70 years old. I hope he reaches 100 years. Very strong, hard Karate.
Very hard style. Mad props.
Braking boards with his finger tips..... braking boards with his toes he's like a true man of steel
@@s1iznc1d34 bro can you break a piece of wood with your fingers
AWESOME!!!
A repetição com correção até a exaustão leva a perfeição!
I have put ice pack on my knees after watching this.
Even if this was a cheap pine baseball bat, it is still VERY impressive, I really am looking forward to seeing the videos of the doubters 😂😂
EXACTLY,
But I think you might have a LOOOOONG wait 😂😂😂😂
@@tonysicily2687 What are the chances?? Two Tony Sicilys meet each other in the RUclips comment section!
The baseball bat is made of fir tree wood which means it will break with about 1/3 of the power needed to break a normal baseball bat. It's a great tool to practice power kicks and impress your friends. It's called a Shiwari Bat, made especially for Karate breaking.
There was also a cut and as it was half the way so you need to multiply that 3 in your fraction by 4 =>1/12 not 1/3.
I suspected something like this. That was way too easy (for a martial arts expert, or anyone). Wish they would do away with these dumb exhibition gimmicks. Its outdated and doesn't help their credibility when people realize they're basically a lie.
@@Bialy_1 Was there a cut? Was trying to look for something like that but didn't see anything.
We trained to take hits with sticks and baseball bats in isshinryu too, but this guy's ridgehand is amazing. Probably takes at least 5 to 10 years full time training to be able to do that with a ridgehand.
All of the wood pieces are carefully selected to be light, very dry, have the most breakable grain, and it's all from softer species of wood. They turn the bats themselves or have someone else turn them...they're softer wood also, something light and dry, they're not made with the same type wood regular bats are made from...you can recognize that in the demonstrations if you pay attention to how the wood pieces break...was involved in these type demos years ago...was not performing myself but assisting the performers...and everyone in that group knew that's how they made the demos possible...still impressive feats these men are performing here, but not the near impossible ones they're perceived to be by most people.
Uechi Ryu. Respect, Osu!
Amazing Focus and strength!!!
My sensej is from Okinawa too, he has 10 black belts,now teaching in lethbridge alberta,canada,best of the best.
Karate i love you
Definitely took a lot of focus...but I can’t help but to point out that the student at the end looked like he was gonna cry from those hits. Just his facial expression made it look like it lol
possibly stress..
沖縄空手 本当に すごいです👊 アニメに出てくる 愚地独歩見たい😺👍
オロチドッポのモデル元は、拳道会の元会長、中村日出夫です。作者がそう言ってます。
中村日出夫は、平壌産まれの京大出身者で、戦前に存在しその後GHQによって解散させられた、
全武道の統括機関であった大日本武徳会から、歴史上唯一、10段範士を授与された人物です。
soavo 愚地独歩のモデルは大山倍達とも言われてますが、実際どうなんでしょうか…
c’est génial continuer
This is what happens when you don't pay the fees on time 😂😂
😆😆😆
Ohhhh shit! I'm over here dying! 😭😭😭
He will break every baseball bat you own. The only defence? Don't own a baseball bat.
Repent of your sins and follow Jesus Christ Almighty.
😂
沖縄 空手 良い です.
これはこれで素晴らしい。彼らの世代の完成系の極みだと思う。そして次世代の方は進化させていただきたい。 空手の歴史はそれほど長くない。ネオ空手の出現を私は願っております。
He is an extream SUPER human.
Breaking wooden sticks like match sticks.
Respect 🙏
良い動画みせていただきましたありがとうございました。頑張ってくださいね
Amazing what humans can do if they get off the internet for a little while

That young guy is stronger. 😂 he took the hits from the master. 😂
Its his son.
The real hero if this video is the guy holding the bat. It is not that easy to hold something that light and breakable like THIS bat and not let it move when someone else hits it.
Coach, you are my strongest favorite
👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊
You have a special fingers 👌👌
Damm on he’s age that’s amazing
This was real thing. If You can`t take punches and kicks, leave karate and become hippie
Very true.....
Bravo. Cela requiert des heures et des heures d'entraînement.
Incroyable ! Je n'imagine pas l'entraînement qu'il a subit quand je le vois casser des planches avec ses doigts et ses os.
This is Amazing so great
