    I used to go to this karate school that taught this style. My teacher was taught by a student of the third guy, Higaonna. I remember going to a some tournament that he was at, and we all got to shake his hand. I remember his hand being so callused that it felt like a rock.

    When I was young I trained in Oechi-ryu in Canada. It was very much a full contact 'hard' style and training was extreme to say the least. Nothing flowery about it. Kata is not intended to communicate real fight potential and anyone in martial arts knows this. It is merely a small portion of practice like muscle memory practicing guitar. We learn the most from the elders, specially in this instance with authentic Practitioners of 8-10th Dan. I appreciated this video very much, tks. The Okinawan styles are quite renowned.

      Lyoto Machida was a light heavyweight. Bas Rutten became a heavyweight champion and one of the styles he trained in was kyokushin karate. Rutten also only weighed 205 pounds when he won the title so he was essentially a light heavyweight competing as a heavyweight.

    The videos of karate masters remind me Reikichi Oya and Gichin Funakoshi of Okinawa. Karate do Nymohn was read by E. J. Harrison and he was inspired to make the Britishers familiar with Karate do. Do means way in Japanese. Harrison was a great spirited man with the black belt in judo four Dan. There were no videos and mobile phones in sixties. Only printed pictures were available to learn katas like pinan Katas, pinan shodan, pinan nidan and so on.

    With training, you can move faster than you can see, or think, or feel. If you can move faster than you can see you can move faster than your opponent can see. Fast movements of light parts carry more momentum than slow movements of heavy parts; contrary to intuition. A light punch at 100mph will transfer more energy than a forceful punch moving much slower.
    You find yourself dazed and on the ground before you even feel pain. Karate.

      It's been washed/worn so long it's become tattered. The wear look makes it look... well... worn, translate: doing karate along time. This actually is quite common. Personally, I like them nice and black, starchy and stiff like the day you got it.
      This isn't true for all styles but:
      1 - 6 dan: black w/ stripes
      7 - 8 dan: red/white or red/black
      9 - 10: solid red

      Tracker Buckmann There is an art to breathing when doing kata, whilst training with certain groups I've realised not many people use there breathing as they should. When doing a kata, your breathing should tense and un-tense you (as well as you tensing your muscles). Try this do the Suparinpe Kate, whilst just breathing normally, tense up your stomach and legs. In the stance of Sanchin Dachi (Pigeon Toe Stance). Now do it again, whilst going into the stand and blocking with your forearms as shown, breath in just before, and out as you are moving into said stance. You're body/muscles with be a lot more tense.
