The first 1/3rd of this video shows some of the incredibly devastating techniques that are hidden in the first few moves - of the first two beginner Katas of Shotokan Karate (Heian Shodan, and Heian Nidan). The speed of Tatsuya Naka - is impressive. But, to the experienced eye - what makes his Karate so formidable - is his mastery of Kime - that maximum focus at the instance of final delivery of the technique.

what a wonderful treat to watch. A true skilled martial artist. This is rare to be seen in America. Most of the Karate here is so watered down nothing like this.

I watch these over and over and humbled by you all everytime. Thank so much for making these vids. Much love and respect

This opened my eyes a bit. Thank you.

Osu Naka Sensei, Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge with us. We really appreciate it.

凄く良い勉強になりました、ありがとございます

Thanks for your work, Naka Sensei!

Kata is the true essence of Karate. Kata is only true when the karate student knows the application or bunkai

Well Done, Naka sensei is returning JKA to its beginings under the leadership of Nakayama sensei the students had classes of kobudo,and he also invited instructors from other styles, the JKA is again alive and kicking. OSS

This is great stuff!!! I have been training for over 50 years but, at age 60, I would gladly put my white belt back on to train with these great masters! In this modern world of the UFC (which I greatly respect), I think that there is a place for traditional martial arts and the values they teach. Many thanks for a great video :)

This is REAL KARATE I bow and salute you well done I have subscribed. Real martial arts forever and a better world. Naka sensei thank you and always keep sharing

A joy to see the Exceptionally Talented Naka Tatsuya Sensei

こんなにも応用が効くとは。すごいです。

Great demonstration. Nice video :)

先生ナカ達也ありがとう あなたの生徒 アリ・マウシュ アルジェリアから

Thank you Sensei Naka Tatsuya your student Ali Maouche from Algeria

Awesome!!!! Love your videos. Oss from Romania!!!!

3:35 速いですね！

People who focus on practical self defense usually dismiss Kata (forms) as outdated, impractical and useless. Having come out of a boxing background before earning a black belt I was also leaning in this direction. It was inspiring to see this explanation and application of the techniques of Kata by someone as skilled as Mr. Tatsuya. He clearly practices these techniques with a mind to their use. His speed, precision and focus are outstanding. It makes you pause and reconsider the value of Kata. However, in far too many schools forms are just window dressing and fluff, movements taught without this kind of explanation and demonstration of their meaning...and for no reason other than to get to the next belt...

Thank-You!

中先生、変わってないなぁー♪ 浅野館長時代の、イーストファイターが懐かしい😃

突きのスピード笑えるくらい速いわw

Nice!Congratulations from Brazil.

2:49 His kata was so powerful it actually undid his belt!! Wish these videos had some translation, but even just watching you get the sense of it! Thank you very much for uploading! OSU!!!!!

O estilo dele e muito bom!!! Um excelente karatêka !👏👏👏👏ossu👊🇯🇵🇧🇷

This Instructor is the truth! He has made Hyungs/Kata/Forms come alive.

So nice

A true master and karate scholar!

Excellent moves by naka sensei

This confirms that there is a legit karate degree in japan

GRAND MASTER !!!! Ever day i see your videos far away from ARGENTINA

Amazing.

when a talented athlete becomes the art

Naka Sensei has a very positive aura. He radiates energy. Very charismatic and humble and he is extraordinary fast....If he would put up a little more muscle mass and keep his speed, he would be unstoppable in close combat.

que bueno por que ahora si podemos aprender todos nuestros maestros.

Wow.. His speed is awesome...

また映画出てくれないかなー。

Wow, Naka sensei is very fast (and of course very sympathetic). I don't understand what he is talking about, but I know what he means. I think every good instructor don't need much words to explain what he means.

Exelente

達也さんいろんな格闘技との交流でいろんなものを織り混ぜてるとこがすごい！！ 例えば型の説明の時、受けながら攻撃するっていうのは主に少林寺だったり中国拳法でみられる動きだったりする

I can understand what sensei says by putting the video at 0.5 speed haha 😂 excellent content Oss! 🇯🇵🇧🇷

Nice

Tatsuya naka sensei have characteristic skill.. is speed, precisition, and instinct

Mai visto uno forte così!

Nice 👍🏻

Naka Sensei is a joy.

フルコン出身だから、全空連系は信用してなかッたが、マチダ・リョートの活躍みて考え改めた

When Miyahira-sensei was showing you Mabu Dingzhou, I was thinking about Tekki Shodan a little but Heian Nidan a LOT! What if the blocks were ELBOWS instead. Follow that up with a throw!

Wow 👍👍👍😍

wait... at 2:34 when he's doing naihanchi... i didn't know some shotokan guys use their hips the same way okinawan karateka use them. was that shot after he went to okinawa?

Speed Kills... That was Awesome.

👍 great

極真空手一応黒帯取ったけど、この人から白帯から、ゼロから空手を習いたい

Sensei Naka is extremely fast. Please try to put subtitles.

Amazing techniques and Beautiful Dojo ( Training Hall )

sensei Naka very fast great Sensei oss

A great karateist.

Ballet and other dance forms... Physical Poetry...! But! KARATE and other Martial art forms... Physical Splendour...!

Capo

this is real karate 😤

Naka is a real karateka

Kata is extremely useful but on its own cannot truly prepare you. It’s good to make your technique more crisp and pretty but sparring is where you will gain true skill

How to contact. I want to buy the dvds. And is it subtitled?

Isso sim é Kime, isso sim é Karatê.

すごい

Wow

Oss 🙏

とても分かりやすい解説で、いつも楽しく拝聴しています。 中先生のファンです。 大変不躾な質問で恐縮ですが、運足が速くなるためのトレーニング方法はありますか？ ありましたら、 是非是非教えて頂きたいです。

This guy is good

ماشاء الله

Mastodontico💪💪💪

顔を拳で殴ると拳が折れる事がある　顔を攻撃する時は　裏拳や鉄槌を使って攻撃してるので かなり理にかなってます

if your a karate practitioner.. you can easily see how sensei naka execute the techniques... even it is too fast

合気道の逆半身合半身ににている

Oss

translation please

I did karate training, but for only one year, I quit. I was too scared every time I had to fight 😔

Top top top

Omg 😲

Hayai... Even yamcha cannot dodge that. Really fast.

He is the Bruce Lee of Karate!!! Very fast and dude got style. Ous!!!

👍👍

1:28 oh my god

Where do we order the dvd?

One day, I will train in Japan.

that's what people don't understand why most martial arts have kata. it's just drilled so that the more you do it, it'll become instant reactions to basic attacks. only real masters or practitioner would understand this.

That guy is fast

Any instructors in Dallas Texas?

I believe I see bunkia from pinan sandan and shodan.

This is real karatê!!!

Very fast punc...how to defend from 2 enemies with sword??

型は、単なる形でなく、表技、裏技、色々な技法が隠され秘められている！そして代々伝わるうちに本来の形が誤って変形して伝わってしまう事がある！それが競技としての型、また各流派、会派によっても同じ型なのに違いがでてしまう！武道家としての中師範は本当に真摯に空手本来の武道性を実直に追求している本当に見習うべき人物である！頭がさがります！

What type of Karate is this?

Naka Tatsuya start to understand okinawa karate.. it's great.. I can see his shorin-ryu karate application.. and I think it will be much better if he focus on the real karate (okinawa), and leave sport karate..

中先生に一度は、お会いしてみたかった。

Naga sensei, your style is excellent, I have question to you, why nobody applies these techniques in real fight(tournament)? I have seen many tournament , they attack each other without sense, they never used proper block are techniques, they just throws punches and kicks in tournament.

So Naka has started doing the forwards empi from the kung fu guy in Okinawa?

SOTOKAN η αγαπη μου φιλια απο ελλαδα

My question is to MASTER in Chennai TamilNadu India which is the best KARATE DOJO, instead of I am being a judoka for past 5 years I want to learn karate and to be a humble student.

Excellent but i don't understand Japanese :(
