Yes, many years ago 😀

Well, I mean, that's kind of what taekwondo is known for. I think high kicks have their place. My point is that in the context of a karate kata kicks are performed a certain way as part of a combative sequence.

@@GKCgoju not really. Taekwondo is a Korean karaté style, and is based on the Shotokan style. You can see the same problem in Shotokan competitions, especially WKF, where people would do Jodan Kekomi all the time, which is complete non-sense. All of the Jodan Kekomi should be Chudan Keage in Kata. Be it Taekwondo or Shotokan, people need to understand that kicking high is nice, but not in Kata, because it makes zero sense from a Bunkai perspective, as Kata is not for show.

Understood. For some reason I wasn’t equating taekwondo with kata.

@@GKCgoju juste search for "Koryo". Very popular Kata in Taekwondo competition. You will be vomiting at the kicking level. People don't understand the bunkai at all. They think it's gymnastics.

Glad you think so!

😂

Thanks for sharing this info. regarding Savate.

I did not know him. Although I just googled him and he sounds like an amazing person.

@@GKCgoju Thanks Sensei that really means a lot that you learned about Sensei Guy he was my mentor and dear friend 🙏🏽

@@oldschoolmuzzey May he rest in peace.

Yes, the feet have a different role when at striking range, or grappling/throwing range.

Okaaay.

Good to hear.

You’re welcome.

Thank you. I would say because it is not widely understood. In my experience the various facets of karate are often taught as separate entities, rather than as part of an interconnected curriculum. Hence, junbi undo is often thought of as merely a calisthenic routine. Thanks for your comment.

Amen to that…

Hi Matt, indeed.

@@GKCgoju Thank you for the quick and precise reply, Sensei. I guess UA-cam does have its more positive uses as well, then;). Take care.

I’ve found UA-cam particularly useful for washing machine troubleshooting and repair 🤣

Where else could I post it? Any ideas I’ll be grateful. Thanks.

btw, when you buy coconuts from the grocery store they often come pre-scored. Strangely this doesn't seem to make them easier to break, but when they do break they tend to crack along the score. There are plenty of videos of me, and people who follow my iron hand training method, breaking unscored coconuts if you're interested.

Glad it was helpful!

YOu are very welcome. I hope it helps.

Thank you for your feedback. You are an inspiration to karate ka training for a lifetime.

Osu.

That depends how regularly you are able to practice. How many days a week are you able to practice?

​@@GKCgoju👍Thanks for the reply

Who is that?

Not too bad for an old guy 🤣

You're welcome. Do you use the belt as a training tool, and if so, what exercises?

@@GKCgoju Mainly just for this: Getting good feel of Tandem and the lower abdomen- and back-region in general -> by pressing muscles against it from inside, imaging belly, back and waist as sort of dynamical sphere - especially when doing breathing exercises, Sanchin and Tensho of course. Also watching (by feel) position and movement of the knot, moving down and up again during working all the technics. For me its a powerfull helping tool for imagine tandem and being aware of this all the time. (I noticed also: if i have no belt and do Karate exercises, i feel little weak 😂for real it needs much more concentration for doing good breathing, tension and release of muscles and all this stuff.) Sidenote: Maybe its some type of main reason behind japanese belts and its technics of artfull knots in general, i wonder some times. As a "Pointer" to this important region and sphere called Hara and especially tandem. If you know something about this, please share with me, if you like. Thanks for your work!

@@Foltore thanks for sharing that.

Thanks.
