Just noticed it was time to stop by and express my gratitude for your sharing of this great material. In my country I probably won't have an option to learn with such a great approach, and thus the internet is the only way I can go deeper into my learning. Thank you.
Thank you for taking the time to make a comment. Yes, these drills from Taira Masaji Sensei are often compared to southern Chinese arts. If you have a chance to research his techniques further you will see that everything comes directly from the Goju-ryu kata. Please check out some of our other video featuring Taira Sensei to see.
I hate feeling like a broken record, but once again I want to thank you for continuing to post of such high quality drills and techniques. I really believe that the dissemination of this level of information/technique will help elevate Okinawan as a whole (especially as practiced in in the US).
I agree with you; because the principles are similar drills are likely to be similar also. However for those interested in exploring the Goju kata in other than simply a cursory fashion please be sure to take a look at the wider body of Taira Masaji Sensei's work.
I love this! It looks so natural. I'm not familiar with Mawashi. I looked it up and it directed me to sumo wrestlers. Can some one give me a history lesson?
Mawashi-uke is a universal movement that appears in most Okinawan Karate styles (and almost every other martial art - although it may not be called that). The movements of the mawashi-uke are in essence representative of the way humans manipulate their hands and arms when; either holding on to another human, or when protecting themselves from being hit.
See ? Except for the "over" drill at the start ( the hubud lubud against straight punch) - everything is gan sao on your partner in this drill. And in kata we always do mawashi uke with the outside way of the rising hand - doji/kosa uke all over.
yeah it look like wing chun drills, chi sao. But in this vidéo, for chi sao, the girl guard is open because the elbow never defense (this is a ewercice i understand), the guy want to touch when he attack and he must bend himself to do it, in my opinion that point is clearly wrong, but that my vision of it, i'm maybe wrong. At the end, the Girl defend better, she close the way with her elbow, but the guy is always balancing his head and torso right/left and front/rear, with i see no balance of his center. I mean he's always active, working in order to win against his partner, he doesnt listen to her, that's why i don't understant this drill in this video. Because when you touch someone that's for listening and working with it, not to be blind, active and force the technique. It's weird because the suparinpei opening sequence is like the beginning of first section chi sao of wing tsun leung ting.
malmoutte "I mean he's always active, working in order to win against his partner, he doesnt listen to her, that's why i don't understant this drill in this video." In karate kakie it's more about not letting your partner talk. The only practical part above is the pull at the end. The rest is for training purposes. The right distance and body movements are added later. Karate tries to strike from the side most of the time. And a dysbalanced partner gives us time to change the grip you have. Cause in close it's about grabbing very fast with human beings. Some strange people call it "clinching".
Okinawan Karate comes from Southern Shaolin White Crane boxing, hence the similarity. The principles and concepts are the same, if you have the right instructor.
Karate borrowers from more then just White Crane Kung Fu, the bubishi ancient book which contains information regarding forms, techniques of karate in Okinawa, talks about Kung Fu influence coming from Five Ancestor fist, monk fist boxing and so on.
Keep showing these useless applications. Still make fun of practitioners, who are ignorant and stupid by continuing to see the same applications over and over and convince themselves that they are correct. But the masters of the past weren't stupid. They are those of the present, who do not know the bunkai of kata, and they invent anything to mask their ignorance.
@Owl Longbow If you wear a black belt and have diplomas hanging on the wall to show others how good you are you should have the answer. But if you don't have it, then, take off your belt and take your diplomas off the wall and dedicate yourself to something else. And stop making fun of yourself and others. However, I want to be kind and explain to you what all karate practitioners should know. Nobody knows the kata anymore. Its contents have long since been lost. Those who try to explain kata gestures, including Okinawan and japanese masters, know nothing about kata and what the kata represents or means. They haven't the faintest idea. However, they want to give meaning to the belt they wear. Even if what they explain borders on the ridiculous. Get over it and don't waste your time doing useless things. Anyway, try jujinage, and see how the hands move.

You're welcome. Although I think you've found your own way now.

esaercizio utile e valido.

Is this a traditional goju exercise
It's a drill developed by Taira Masaji Sensei. The drill is based on the more 'traditional' primitive application.
Yes, but aren't the Southern Chinese Arts the mother of Goju. It would only make sense that the drills are similar
Makes sense for sure.
excellent,soft ,hard..chi
Thanks.

@Spectre Owl Try juji nage if you know him, and see how hands move.
No applications are on show here - it's just a drill. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
