良いこと言うねぇ〜

The Founder of Yoseikan did all Japanese styles and some Chinese Kung fu aswell as Western boxing.

FACTS 💯

🙊🙊

it's more politeness than respect

One of them is former MMA fighter

And every time a Jiu-Jitsu guy gets on his butt spreading his legs wide open is an invitation to give him a punch. This will never happen in a sparring of course. But will happen in a street fight. Karate guys however also have issues. Just like in any martial art which is practicing extensive leg strikes (Karate, Thekwondo), Karate guys often end up on the flow after trying to do a spinning hock kick. It is okay if the strike was successful and the opponent was knocked down. But it makes you a simple pray if you missed or if the fight is not one on one. Karate guys also keep their hands low leaving their head unprotected. This is not an issue in a spar with JJ guys, but is a serious flaw in a spar with another striker like a boxer or a Muai Thai practitioner.

@@Alex-kr1eg Karate guys can hold that hands low because of the extended distance between opponents. With a closer distance, the hands should go up. Mr. Machado is a Karate guy, but for a long time fighting in the UFC, he was hit fewer times than anyone else.

@@donelmore2540 This is actually a great point. A large part about styles that use a lot of kicks is that the ideal distance would be further and make a lower guard necessary. It's funny actually, in older bare knuckle boxing, they so used lower guards since body shots were typical compared to head hits.

@@skyereave9454 Thanks! Back in the day, I would do Jiyu Kumite with my middle level, Chudan, well protected and over the course of sparring I would slowly open up a Chudan target. When my opponent went for the opening, I would counter before they got their attack off. People thought I was really fast, but really they just took the bait I dangled in front of them. LOL

Says every karate guy ever. But the thing is, punchers rarely land hard strikes on a grappler. They always try to hit them as they close, but as any grappler will tell you, those strikes rarely hurt very much, because for a punch to hurt it has to extend, and it will never extend to the right distance because the grappler is closing too fast for that to work. Every puncher thinks he is going to just knock out a grappler when the grappler closes, but every time the puncher ends up on his back, getting choked out or submitted. If MMA has proven anything, it's that you can't get by on just one set of techniques: every grappler should learn to strike, and every striker needs to at least learn the basics of grappling and submissions. Otherwise you're just begging to get choked out or submitted.

I hear you but I'd like to add my humble opinion that Karate (as it's popularised in the West) such as Shotokan is simply a branch of Jiu Jitsu as is Aikido as is Judo. I would consider them an advanced 'school' of Jiu Jitsu but I appreciate all martial arts for what they may bring and what you may learn. Pax

@@conmcgrath7174 Karate comes from Okinawa, having its' roots in White Crane Chinese martial art. It was developed as a Okinawan self-defense, for they had forbidden to carry weapons. Jujutsu, on the other hand, developed on mainland Japan as a softer martial art of Samurai, to disarm, hit vital points, dislocate... From Jujutsu; Judo, Jiu Jitsu and Aikido had birth - the latter also influenced by Daito-ryu.

@@theoldleafybeard Cheers 'Beard' (if I may call you that?). You are probably better informed than I. I made a broad statement and should have recognised the distinction between Okinawan Karate and the more mainstream styles so popularised in the west; Shotokan being a good example (there is a case made by some, that Shotokan is little more than an evolved military drill? I apologise now to practitioners of Shotokan everywhere, it's not my intention to cause offence). I do know of the historical ties between Okinawan karate and mainland China, that it is specific to the White Crane style exclusively, well, I'm just not qualified to give any reasonable opinion though I do believe it is likely. If I had my 'do-overs' I would love to explore both? It would be more than interesting to see where the separate styles merge and where they differ (and why?). Alas my misspent youth is, well, spent! Thanks for the reply and the gentle correction. Martial arts in general is a fascinating subject and so very much more if you engage with a pure heart. To all practitioners, my respect. I have a question relating to styles and an all too frequent 'blinkered approach' (like this is the only style and everybody else is wrong), it's this; is it the vehicle, is it the journey or is it the destination that is most important? Meantime, enjoy the trip! Respect and Pax vobiscum.

@@conmcgrath7174 Shotokan is a traditional Okinawan style 🙏⛩️. Many Karate schools today barely teach traditional Shotokan , it's all some watered down derivative mix of styles with a basic "Shotokan" base or other karate style. When I trained Shotokan in the 80s it took years and years to achieve belts. These days , you can be a black belt at 8-10 years old after a few years , which in my opinion is ridiculous. As mentioned previously , Jiu Jutsu has its roots based from the Samurai period as a method of close quarters and disarming methods . Both are beautiful and incredibly strong arts when used in combination. Cheers mate 😉🤘

@@GUARDIANA01 I hear you, the days when a black belt actually meant something have been spoiled by 'mc-dojo's' and belts for sale. Respect and Pax

everyone can punch hard controll takes skill

that's actually a super important karate aspect, we spar at full speed with no protective gear, and most of the time everyone goes home without any serious injuries because every single move is controlled.

he's a master not a mere practitioner :)

Indeed. The guy fought heavywheights, truly brave

Agree. Great reference to a classic fight! Of course, it was only the restrictive rules that made Inoki fight that way.

I can't really understand this "f*** the kata" attitude that is so prevalent nowadays. One of the main reasons I love Karate is because the katas and the bunkai and history behind them. It's just plain frickin' awesome.

I agree. Kata are terrific as a library of moves. Which techniques someone gets good at and uses for sparring will depend on experience, body type, and even who they have been training against. I liked how Tatsuya Sensei comments that he realized an application for a kata movement that he didn't see earlier. When you study kata this relationship becomes fairly common.

Concordo

Falou tudo,osu...

Exactly!! This guy is a samurai!

@@drowjack karate na verdade tem influencia do kung fu chines em okinawa acho que samurais so fariam ju jitsu que é tipo aikido, judo e jiu mas devia ter uns socos e chutes

You are spot-on! I’ve trained in Shito-Ryu for over 15 years.

Except BJJ is only good on the floor, completely on the floor lying on top of one another, but it sucks in all other grappling positions and angles.

@@davida.rosales6025 That isn't true at all. You can do submissions staying as well. Karate on the other hand is pretty much useless. I did both for 3 years.

"Karate is pretty much useless" are words spoken by someone that has either trained at a poor dojo, hasn't trained hard enough, or simply not trained long enough. It's not the art to blame. BJJ is a sport that is not one of the best for self-defence. Judo is far superior for the street. @@scmsean

@@Kthomasritchie If you are doing striking then you have to practice striking. That means hitting someone and getting hit. How many karate studios aren't just kicking and punching air? 1 on 1 there is nothing better then BJJ. MMA has proven that. No one enters the cage without training in BJJ. Almost 0 of them enter with karate. Again multiple people, you are pretty much screwed with any of them.

Most in this comment section have no earthly idea who he is. They're talking about "just jab the BJJ guy in the eye". LMAO. Oh, how truly ignorant they are...

It's really amazing to watch the evolution of MMA. It started out with pure grapplers dominating the sport. Then you've got the strikers with good take down defence dominating after that. And then you've got guys that are well rounded at everything (which IMO got a bit boring). Now it seems you've got to be both well rounded AND a master at one aspect.

There is fully array of ground techniques in CMA. Just not as well known as the stricking arts.

@@ehisey in which style please?

Some of the monkey (mine happens to be one) and ape styles have full complements of ground grappling. There is a python system. Some branches of chin na are ground based. Shaio jaio is of course a full on throwing system like judo. Fukian has a complement of throws and take downs from the ground though mostly a ground and pound, it gave rise to the "rising and falling" style which is was similar to jujitsu. It is rarer these days, some of the reasons are cultural, some nationalistic (to avoid looking like Japanese methods), there was the great lose of styles around the cultural revolution and Japanese occupation. Much like Karate and TKD which had a complement of ground skills up to the mid 1900's when it's focus shifted mostly to stand up, these sunsets have mostly been ignored or forgotten. BJJ it self is something of an anomaly with it's extreme focus ground submissions even among grappling arts. Most Chinese grappling is going to be closer to Judo, catch or sambo.

Probably. Nakas only chance would be by knocking him out in timing like Lyoto did sometimes.

I'd say that would be 50/50. If Nakai manages to grapple Naka, the fight is quikcly over. But I can see Naka delivering a lot of powerful punches and front kicks to Nakai so fast he cannot react.

@@wallyllaw haha! Not a chance. Nakai is a world class striker. He’s fought some of the greatest legends of MMA and won. He’s not just a Jiu-Jitsu guy, he’s a respected, well rounded fighter in the class of the most elite.

The real issue here is not about style or skills, but actual fighting knowledge

Frankly, I wouldn't underestimate the timing/distance management of accomplished orthodox karate guys. It's easy to say Nakai would win for sure, but actually fighting is another thing entirely. Besides that, it's not about "real" or not, and those distinctions aren't necessarily helpful as they are overly vague. What is real? In a ring, with rules, referees, and a commonality of training principles? Because friendly sparring also occurs in reality, it simply has a different context which has other limitations and goals. In a bareknuckle, violent fight (Say, over a woman's love) with no rules, it's almost impossible to say who would "really" win, and it's not even a particularly valuable question.

He is not using Judo. He is only using Judo's newaza which now is marketed as 'jiujitsu' , if Judo was used as soon as a Karateka comes close then they would get thrown easily then submitted in newaza. No self respecting Judoka uses the Inoki vs Ali technique.

@@rangelo8908 he’s also a Judo black belt.

@@reefhog Who? Nakai? I know but he's not using his Judo at all here.
