Just try to practice what u can remember critter:)

👍

Wow i didnt expect the lyoto part.good job. Wow i didnt even think about stephen Thompson whennu did ur kempo series. He is the most popular karateka in the ufc

How's shotokan going brother?

So.

I again started after crossing 50

Thank you. There is too much negativity and hate in the martial arts...sometimes it's worth looking at all the good an art can offer and understand its place in history.

@@ArtofOneDojo What I've seen and heard on "Art of One Dojo" you've become a great custodian of the arts and we all thank you for showing the insights through your video's.

@@ArtofOneDojo could you do history of diado juku (kudo karate)

I'd love to hear what your thoughts are!

Thank you so much. We're trying to cover a lot of arts. Shito Ryu would be one we're interested in. The one currently in the works is History of Goju Ryu.

LOL! I just wish I knew more about it back then.

Thank you! I hope you continue to like the videos! We have a lot to choose from :)

Thank you for such a kind comment!

The role Shotokan played in developing TKD cannot be forgotten and the ITF style still does Shotokan kata. WTF invented new forms purely for political reasons and its understandable as Shotokan was more or less forced on Korea during the pretty brutal Japanese takeover of Korea!

@@stevebrindle1724 Many schools now teaching "Chung Do Kwan Tae Kwon Do" also still teach "Shotokan" kata. Several political breakups eventually led to a ridiculous number of "Grand Masters".

🙏 dm me @kombatkarate if youd like one

@@sliderx1897 OK Thanks.

We haven't yet, but we're hoping to. We have a few more arts we want to cover and then come back to Karate.

Shotokan dojos who compete are usually more into sparring.

There is a good chance we'll come back around to it, we're definitely not done. It was the first "History" episode that we did.

Well welcome to the channel! My background is in American Kenpo, a few varieties of it. I hope you continue to enjoy the videos!

Nishiyama was my Sensei's, Sensei. I had the pleasure to get to train with him.

@@sliderx1897 He was a big influence on my uncle who was my first Sensi, my uncle met him but sadly he passed before I had the chance to. My uncle ran his club at a sports center and they had a judo club who would run alternate days. Due to the Japanese influence on my training he had me training both. It made me realize in many ways in Japan they just see Karate as one tool in your bag, whilst in the west a lot who do karate have it as the only tool in their bag.

My sensei and your Uncle most likely know eachother. My Sensei was one of his seniors at the central dojo for many years

@@sliderx1897 Possibly he's one of the UK JKA guys but he did go to the US a fair amount for seminars etc, he retired from teaching a few years back due to a knee injury (former police officer and semi pro rugby league player so injuries caught up eventually).

Strangely enough I just heard of this one and was starting some early looks at it. Is this the art that Steve Irwin trained in?

There will probably be a lot of overlap but you may want to try one first over the other first, or try each one and see if you take a liking to one over the other.

@@ArtofOneDojo thanks I'm just trying to spend more time learning it than once a week. I like the sporty bouncing nature of shotokan but also the closer range style of goju. Think it will be a good mix. We'll see.

​@@RyFol717If you like the bouncy, in-and-out style karate just find a dojo who competes in WKF. Wado ryu, goju ryu, shito ryu doesn't matter. The kata will be different though, especially goju.

This may seem like a cop out answer but maybe see if you can do a trial of any of them first to get a taste. 30 years old is definitely not too late to start learning. Ultimately, what is your primary goal? Maybe try a mix between the two options. BJJ and Karate? Or Judo and Muay Thai?

Do what you enjoy the most. Doing something you don't like just to be prepared for a small chance of getting into a fight does not make sense to me. If your Shotokan dojo competes (WKF, JKA etc) it is probably effective. Karate's fighting style is different from muay thai and boxing. It focuses on distance control, see Rafael Aghayev or Conor Mcgregor's old fights. Aside from sparring, Karate also has kata, which is an art form itself. After struggling to do kata, watching a good kata performance feels amazing.

I'm not sure about difficulty but it will be VERY different. The material and teaching methods are different, but the good thing is you'll be adding new knowledge and can figure out how the arts can mix to make yourself a better martial artist :)

That's the one we're working on currently :)

Funakoshi discouraged sparring according to some of his students. Gigo, his son, however brought the concepts of free-style kumite from his training in Iaido and Japanese fencing with the katana. Nakayama, in an article, wrote that he would apologize to Funakoshi in heaven for introducing sport karate to the world. It's no coincidence that the earliest tournaments did not happen until after the master's death.

This video is actually 3 individual videos that were put together. So another one would actually be a part 4. What material would you want covered in another one?

Hey brother would u consider doing an interview with Andy Allen from applied shotokan. I think ur love what he is doing with the art & how hes evolving the style of shotokan.

Kano developed the belt ranking system. The first belt was the black belt. Students had no belt, or a black belt. He got the idea from how Japanese swim teams awarded a black armband to the best swimmers. We did a video on this topic..."how many belt ranks in karate?"

@@ArtofOneDojo yes I agree, however there's an important change that was developed by the London Budokwai in 1926/1927 for judo where the colored belts non-white black for yudansha and mudansha sources: /u/fleischlaberl on /r/judo in this thread (he's a constant contributor to the judo subreddit) www.reddit.com/r/judo/comments/6ltroi/kyuranks_and_colors/

What is your style of Kenpo sir?

Few people do. He's sneaky like that.

Eventually! :) We have a lot of arts to hit.

I have heard of GKR but I don't have any personal experience with them. As for as certificates...I don't think there is any harm in a certificate, generally they are meant to inspire and keep people motivated. Giving rank for small milestones is a different story though.

How am I discrediting Funakoshi?

Quite a bit actually. They use a lot of the same basic moves (same general punches, kicks, and strikes), but stances are different. Shotokan has deeper and lower stances, good for explosive power in competition and for building leg strength, Kenpo (American Kenpo) has higher stances, more neutral and based off a boxing stance. The rest of Kenpo's stances are usually transitional. Shotokan is powerful generally linear. Kenpo is also powerful, but is split between linear and circular motions. One of the main principles we have is a circle can beat a line and a line can beat a circle. The blocks between the systems are fairly different from each other. Shotokan has a lot of self defense rooted it their katas, and self defense one step and three steps. Kenpo has a lot of academic study and principles in our Katas, and our self defense is taught as a "prechoreographed" sequence of moves called "Self Defense Techniques". These are meant to show us an example of our the basics and principles work together in a "Sample" fight, so we can see it in context and then mix and match as we need them. Shotokan is Okinawan Karate that was modified and culturally changed for Japan, while Kenpo is primarily Chinese in roots but filtered through Japan or Hawaii to come here. There are a lot more differences but that's just some idea of how they differ.

@@ArtofOneDojo there is a shotokan dojo by me. Id like to learn another style of martial arts and I want to know if shotokan is good for security guards and self defense

@@steverodgers4662 The best thing I think you should do it go visit the school and ask if they have a trial or see if you can watch class. Tell them your goals and what you want to learn it for and you should be able to feel if it's going to be a good fit or at least worth trying.

@@ArtofOneDojo they offer a trial class yes

@@ArtofOneDojo thank u for the feedback and the hammer episode is very spot on

"The World Taekwondo Federation (WTF) (2009) portrays taekwondo as having evolved from ancient Korean martial arts. Some scholars oppose this portrayal and have provided evidence that taekwondo actually evolved from Japanese karate (Kim 1990; Capener 1995, 2005; Kang and Lee 1999; Madis 2003; Moenig, Cho, and Song 2012). Despite this evidence, the WTF’s position still garners the most recognition. This article documents taekwondo’s evolution from karate by comprehensively analyzing early taekwondo literature, and comparing it to karate publications from the same period. Twelve Korean martial arts manuals, published between 1949 and 1971, are analyzed in this study.The majority of these manuals describe their martial art, using the terms dangsudo 唐手道, gongsudo 空手道, or gwonbeop 拳法. While the terms dangsudo and gongsudo represent the Korean transliterations of the Japanese term karate-do, 1 the term gwonbeop refers to Chinese-style boxing. Apart from Choi Hong Hi, all authors of the early Korean martial arts manuals used at least one of these terms when referring to their martial art. Right from his very first publication, Choi referred to his martial art as taekwondo, and was the first to coin the name. "Shortly after Korea’s liberation from Japan in 1945, the five original gwan 2 were founded: Cheongdogwan, Songmugwan, Mudeokkwan, Joseon Yeonmugwan, and the YMCA Gwonbeopbu (Gwonbeop Department). Choi Hong Hi’s school, Odogwan, was not established until 1954, where it had its beginnings in the South Korean military. The founders of the five gwan all studied karate, and all but Mudeokkwan’s founder, Hwang Kee, studied in Japan. 3 Yun Byeong-in, the founder of the YMCA Gwonbeopbup was the only founder of the five gwan with proof of having studied another martial art in addition to karate. As Kang and Lee (1999) state, evidence shows that Yun studied Chinese quanfa (gwonbeop in Korean) as a child in Manchuria. Of the other founders, Choi Hong Hi (1965) admitted to having studied karate in Japan, but also claimed to have learned taekkyeon (generally described as a traditional Korean martial art) as a child. Later, Hwang Kee also made a variety of statements about the martial arts that he had allegedly learned in his youth, but these claims remain disputed (Kang and Lee 1999). "1. The characters “唐手” were used to write “karate” until the mid-1930s. However, Funakoshi advocated the use of the characters “空手,” removing reference to China’s Tang dynasty, and thus disassociating karate from China. Both combinations of characters are pronounced the same way in Japanese-“karate”-but have different pronunciations in Korean; hence, the terms dangsu and gongsu both appear in the literature. 2. Gwan 館 literally means “hall,” but in this article refers to a martial arts school or style. 3. For a history of the different gwan, see Kang and Lee (1999), Heo (2008), and Madis (2003, 2011a, 2011b)."

"Choi Hong Hi was the most important figure in taekwondo during the late 1950s and 1960s, though his leading 1965 publication, Taekwondo: The Art of Self-Defence, looks, to a large degree, like a copy of Nishiyama Hidetaka’s earlier 1960 book, Karate: The Art of 'Empty Hand' Fighting. Hwang Kee, in his 1949 and 1958 publications, was the only Korean author to show any differences between Korean martial arts and contemporary karate. For example, he incorporated some of Funakoshi’s very early Okinawan karate techniques into his style. Hwang admitted to having studied karate using books, and some of the stances that he displays resemble stances right out of Funakoshi’s earlier 1925 publication. Hwang showed a great deal of interest in other martial arts, and incorporated a Chinese martial art form in his first publication in 1949, although this was not reflected in his later 1958 book. He might have come into contact with Chinese martial arts when he worked for the railway in Manchuria, or he might have learned the pattern from a student of the YMCA Gwonbeopbu, where some students had a little knowledge of quanfa. However, Hwang ultimately relied on the styles of Japanese karate. Even though several leaders of the early gwan published nothing tangible, some of their accomplished students authored manuals. These publications provide visual and written evidence of the training activities of four of the original five gwan. However, no significant difference from karate is reflected in any of the taekwondo literature presented by these individuals. Each publication contains between two and three hundred pages, often with hundreds of illustrations. Of all the forms presented in these publications, only one is a quanfa form, and only three photographs exist of this particular form. The illustrational and descriptive content of these early books greatly resembles karate. Furthermore, an analysis of the early publications reveals that the main training activity used in the early taekwondo schools was forms training, and that a majority of this training content consisted of Funakoshi’s kata. After a comprehensive consideration of the existing literature, this study concludes that early taekwondo was largely a product of Funakoshi’s Shotokan karate. "The few taekkyeon elements-such as the inside-out-kick-that exist in modern taekwondo are not displayed in any of the early manuals. These elements were likely introduced to the technical body of taekwondo at a much later time. Rather, early taekwondo techniques, curriculum, terminology, dress, and formalities were practically identical to karate. Unique techniques, training methods, and a purpose, distinct from karate, only started to develop with the introduction of full-contact competitions during the 1960s. Taekwondo forms and terminology also changed during this same period, as the establishment increasingly sought to conceal taekwondo’s origins in karate. "This study concludes by suggesting a revised portrayal of taekwondo’s history. Further investigations on the disputed origins of taekwondo will provide an arena for more accurate and historically evidenced research, thereby resulting in a greater understanding of taekwondo."

What style did you study? Sometimes it can be difficult to tell them apart if you haven't compared them.

@@ArtofOneDojo i've done Shotokan and goju-ryu ... thanks for the reply by the way

They answered this :D

@@ArtofOneDojo in seas3 they finally said tang soo do!

Tang soo do for Corbra Ki, though Miyagi Do is pseudo Goju Ryu

Cobra Kai was Tang Soo Do. Or rather a very stripped down militarized version, hence the reason we've never seen them ever do kata or likely will.

Miyagi do is nothing like real Goju

This is an interesting comment. We did an interview with Yasuke Nagano of Karate Dojo Waku talking about Shotokan traditions. Interestingly when we talked about this and the principles, he said it was weird that schools in the USA focused on that because in Japan it's not a big part of their training. Those principles are taught by parents and teachers and the child is expected to learn those lessons as they grow and he was surprised that it was a big part of the dojo life here. Definitely food for thought.

​@@ArtofOneDojo I've actually followed Yusuke's channel for so long I forgot you've done videos together. I'll be sure to check them out!

@@ArtofOneDojo I have seen a few Karate Dojo Waku videos on KZfaq and it looks like he trained with the Shotokai version of Shotokan. They are the old guard, you might say, of Funakoshi's art. He also said that he now trains on modern Shotokan. I have always trained in theJKA-style Shotokan (Kyokai). When I started in the Philippines with the JKA, we did not recite the dojo kun in our dojo. We were aware of it because Funakoshi wrote it along with his twenty precepts. When I got to Miami with the ISKF/JKA, we recited the dojo run after each class. I think it's important as an affirmation of what you are aspiring to achieve with your karate training. I just remembered that Mr Nagano had a video on how to pronounce the Dojo Kun Japanese version. Some dojos recite the Japanese version but we have always did the English version. Thank you for your videos once again. Seek Perfection of Character......

With heavy influence from French Savate

​@@VikingMale @RUmedic That's a false, out-of-nowhere, statement recently made by Jesse. There's LITERALLY no source that supports that Gigo loved savate (trust me, I researched EVERY source I could find about Funakoshi Gigo. There's none). I say it's false because, as I said, there's no source at all about this. Could be? yes. The same way I could say the influence actually comes from chinese and korean system with high kicks, wich would make quite more sense, but there is no source to that either so it would also be false. It's also kind of false the statement about 'no kicks above the hip/high kicks in okinawan karate'. Gichin himself, on his first edition of Karate-do Kyōhan (guide and reference book of Funakoshi's karate previous to Gigo's modifications) states that maegeri (kebanashi geri, as he calls it on the book) can be aimed to the chest, wich is quite high. Not only that, he also talks about mikazukigeri, wich is usually aimed to an elbow of an arm you are holding, quite high also. Finally, he talks about tobigeri, jump kicks. I'm not even going to stop to talk about the extense chapter on Karate-do Kyōhan about nagewaza and osaewaza, along with the chapter on the hand striking points, wich includes ippon and nakadakaken, wich is still used in many Shōtōkan-ryū dōjō (traditional, not sport, we must remember) and specially in Shōtōkan-ryū Kase-ha. Sometimes we need to remember that Funakoshi Gichin was still a practitioner of Okinawan karate and that it was his son, Gigo, who made changes, so any source from Gichin himself is still Okinawan karate. Also, we tend to consider Shōtōkan-ryū as sport karate (sometimes, again, because of Jesse constant comentarios about 'japanese karate was made for sportz and okinawan karate is for da streetz'.

@@MinamiBushi thank you.

The high kick is part of both Okinawan karate and the White Crane that influenced it kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kJxgf8Sjyqmmmqs.html. The White Crane Kiai should sound familiar to karate practioners as well as the high kick that comes with it.

@@TrentMantis Please point out at least one kata in Goju, Uechi or Shorin, Shito or any one Okinawan style that prominently displays a high kick. A White Crane system in China may have such kicks and related applications, but that would depend on the style. Not all Okinawan styles dervive heavily from White Crane. Goju-ryu is certainly not, it is a very grounded style with tight close chambering, or "Muchimi". Uechi has some but is mostly Dragon style and not crane. Shorin is the closest but I don't see any high kicks in Shorin either.
