me encantaria ver maestros asi en mi pais(chile) donde nos hemos llenado de traficantes de diplomas de budo pero nadie muestra algo como en estos videos, ssiempre tengo en cuenta las enseñanzas de nuestro maestro okinawense y tratamos de llevar el entrenamiento a un nivel mas alto cada vez en todo aspecto inclusive en la bondad y cortecia de estas personas de un lugar tan pequeño pero con un corazon y espiritu tan grandes. vivan los vedaderos guerreros... viva Okinawa!!!!
Great video! Keep them coming... This really highlights the importance of energy transfer and elbow position. I have a new appreciated for Sanchin and Bunkai,. This is essentially the one inch punch applied to 'corkscrew' punch.
Question: How were those makiwara installed in the dojo like that? Also, what makes them different levels of "toughness"? I would imagine that it is based on height? The shorter the board, the harder it is to bend and give...
You aren't kidding David when you say he hits very hard he definatly hits very hard and is lightning fast I found that out when I went to Okinawa in 06 you never relax when he is teaching you something well put together David and greetings from Iowa ( sensei loterbauers son )
Usually by building a metal holder that then bolts to the floor. The stiffness of the board is dictated by a lot of things, namely the type of wood, amount of angle on the back side, and thickness of the board. The height will have a relative effect as well, you are correct. However, machiwara height is pretty standard unless you really care about the particular "style" of each of the traditions in Okinawa. (Nafa, Sui, and Utagee)
Sagi-Makiwara (sand bags) are most certainly NOT superior to Tachi-Makiwara. They have different purposes and each has its strengths. However the Tachi-Makiwara is the fundamental type of makiwara because it *pushes back* when struck. This provides structural feedback and allows one to make a body-audit and thus develop skills at rooting and structural alignment. It is fundamental to training. Because the sagi-makiwara does not offer this structural feedback it is by far the less important tool.
i had the privilege to train under this man twice in mason city Iowa. he is a truly great man. he is insightful but also has a great sense of humor. and i think he only speaks three words of english XD
Reminds me of the 2 inch punch. Watch his hips. That where that energy comes from. From the ground to the hip to the body to the fist. To the opponent.
so on makiwara practice, we don't have to worry about trying to keep our elbow tucked in as much as possible for very straight line like when we do in kata?
First of all, his goal isn't to build up knuckles - it's to develop power... Secondly, his knuckles are plenty "conditioned!" You can see in the video pretty clearly, but you can see even more in person. Thirdly, have you tried middle or single knuckle punching that hard with that much padding? Have fun! :) Train hard...
if you have any power at all (dont know you personally so not sure) then you should be able to get solid connection with the board even through the padding. and calluses are just a biproduct of the makiwara, its not the main purpose for using it..
No worries - sometimes the proof is in the pudding... His knuckles are very well conditioned and he hits VERY hard... You would have to ask him directly about the padding ideas.
i like karter it tlye and class man always with wing chun man learn diffrent try two combines the town geather and solvove the problems then restrice the past from the two

Amazing power - his full body is relaxed and the power is the result. Like a wet towel snap.

I have never seen this technique before. Thank you Sensei.

Excellent! Watch how relaxed he is...he uses his whole body..."don't pull back once you are in."
I would love to see more from this man

Taira Sensei's 'soft' techniques of Goju is very similar to the Kung Fu of southern China. They all have the same root. Much respect.
É verdade. Isso ocorre por que o Karate de Okinawa é diretamente descendente do Kung Fu, logo esse similaridade fica evidente.
personaly i thought it was a very good video and an impresive demonstration of martial prowess and knouledge, more than i'll probably ever have
got great gym my friend

Even watching the video you can feel the power.

Well said Mr Oddy, totally agree with you. The knuckles should be a by-product of the training and NOT the reason for it.
so on makiwara practice, we don't have to worry about trying to keep our elbow tucked in as much as possible for very straight line like when we do in kata?
+Monk D omg he asked a question lol

I had a Sensei describe the fist he used as the Leopards fist......pretty cool.
Great video!
Reminds me of Kusanku Sho

Domo Sensei
i send mr mage
if you not ready for traing with the mind then
ha ha the rolling mate
This is similar to the 1" & 6" punch demonstrations by Bruce Lee.
Like já do TROVÃO TREZE. Tmj 👍🇧🇷 OSS
Funny how nobody commenting here has mentioned conditioning the MIND through training in this way, ummmm.
dont need to use makiwara, sand bag for exemple is better,
charlatão..reparem ele inicia a tecnica com as maos em "garra" mas no momento do impacto fecha a mao...aff...
Non....
