I always thought metsuke was to follow your opponent with your eyes during the kata. So look first, than followed with the attack. This is not (completely) the meaning?

Metsuke, as I have experienced it during especially gradings (Dan gradings) its because when people train a lot alone, they tend to look down. It often shows in the posture, that gets a bit leaned forward. I allways say to them "dont hit small people, so look straight ahead". The imaginary opponent must be a person the same size as yourself. Thanks for a great interview and very relevant questions :-)

@simoncanning6796 3 жыл бұрын

I completely agree with all of the points made here and in part one. In Hung Kuen, stances are practiced before forms. It's here where posture, breathing, focus and strength are practiced. Trying to pay attention to these fundamentals while your legs are burning is good training.

@BrotherPaul57 3 жыл бұрын

Great tips ! One that really stands out when i see people practicing kata is when they turn , they don't look first , they rotate their body and their eyes seem to go with the turn and make people look dizzy or disorientated. this also can effect their balance while turning . Also with straight blocks or punches aimed at the body , i see a lot that punches way off to the side and they're looking down their arm like they're holding a longbow . i was taught if you aim for your own solar plexus then that's where you need to be hitting , punching someone in the chest won't do much damage as there's too much muscle protecting them ( hopefully ?) My Sensei was always saying ,go for the soft bits or joints with less protection that hurt more and do more damage . also those are the bits you need to be protecting when you block .

@littlegiantrobo6523 3 жыл бұрын

Eyesight is general ability to see. Gazing is a more deliberate act of looking, so maybe "gaze" is better? For mental focus, a little bit of meditation is very helpful, but I also it is more helpful for the student to develop a strong sense of purpose. I feel it is easier to bring one's self back to the kata when students have a strong sense of "why."

@kevinfreestone9822 2 жыл бұрын

Looking down is fine for many kata composite. E.g. the ippon seoi nage in Pinan godan. You have to look at the.floor when throwing and then choking your opponent out ( with the supposed x block)

Many Kung Fu styles like Pigua and Tongbei even have forms where you slap the ground! I used to do exercises like that all the time, even ín sub-zero temperatures, and it made my hands super tough! 🤣 But gently tapping the body like in Tongbei has combat applications and is apparently good for blood circulation if done correctly 😁

I have a question for both of you since Jesse Sensei kept comparing Japanese karate to the westerns. My question is this, to both of you. When it comes to Karate or any other martial art, but I will use Karate, do you think it is important to stay true to Japanese culture or should the rest of the world practice Karate but rather than use Japanese terms and traditions use or modify to their own culture. I bring this up because watching Jesse Sensei travel to find the roots of Karate. From what I learned was Karate was migrated and modified from other countries but some how Japan has become the staple for Karate and today all over the world their traditions are embodied. However many of the techniques were first taught outside of Japan with a different language and cultural traditions. So what if other countries continue this trend and perhaps one day Karate will be more affliated with some other country more than Japan. Would Japan switch traditions, would the world switch traditions. Should we worry about conforming traditions or should we all evolve into our own? On one side it seems respectful but on the other side it also seems sort of pretentious.

@KarateDojowaKu 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for your opinion! As for the cultural side, I think it gets merged with the local tradition to some extent. So I think there is no need to over emphasize to keep the Japanese cultural side of karate EXACTLY the same. As for the skill side, I think we should just learn from one another. The reason I think a lot of people look up to the Japanese karatekas is simply because there are so many skill aspects that are still hiding, not being shared to the outside world. So yes, it is a possibility that after decades, the “origin” might change. We cannot deny that possibility. This is just my opinion.

What are your thoughts on uechi ryu karate

@mikesstuff1589 3 жыл бұрын

Interesting video. Here are a few additional mistakes that I see in kata: 1) Improper Waza - if the technique is poor, the kata will be too. This is common when a student takes on a kata that might be beyond their skill level. 2) Lack of fighting spirit - the kata should be a fight, not a rote recitation of technique. This should include a fierce expression of kiai. 3) No zanshin, or remaining mind, at the end of the kata. Many people end their kata, drop their heads, bow and move on. With proper zanshin, the practitioner is ready for the fight to continue if need be. 4) Improper bowing. As you note, rei is the opportunity to gather your focus. But the bow itself is like any other technique - it requires proper posture, eye gaze, and form. It is also an expression of your focus/mindset, and your relaxed yet aware mental state.

Rika Usami is actually someone who got some criticism for or rather was accused of having done a lot of slapping during her short tournament career. If you listen closely a lot of the top former and current WKF competitors sound like they do it also. Which is interesting because from what I've been told its actually illegal, yet no one seems to ever get penalized or disqualified.

@Karate Dojo waKu - Ad Metsuke - I guess a lot of people learn this wrong because when they learn the kata, they are constantly checking their posture and hand position. And they then form a bad habit that is very difficult to break. I have it in the Heian kata because those are the beginner kata and I just formed this stupid bad habit as I was not confident enough in the delivery of the technique. #JustSaying #IDidItWrongForYears

Hello; I think the most common mistake is to not actually understand a Kata. What is really going on with a particular Kata. I see and feel that even in the highest International competitors. No doubt that many hours practicing the moves but not understanding the concepts behind those movements. Not so many hours (and that is a real problem with Karate in these times of sport not self defense) with Bunkai and the applications.

On Metsuke...my sensei encouraged us to look down, toward the floor, because it opens your peripheral to almost 360 degrees around you so you can almost see behind you in your peripheral. To demonstrate, stand with you back to a wall and look straight ahead and level. Without moving your head, note your peripheral vision and how much of the wall behind you that you cannot see in you wider vision. Now, look down, about six feet in front of you. Again, without moving your head, you may now notice that more things behind you, potential opponents, appear in your vision. This works especially well to spot movement around you without turning away from your main focus. I'd love to know your thoughts.

Like having the thumb protuding so that it would make contact and probably break - in stead of making contact with a hard part of the hand that would do damage to the opponent. I see that even at top national compettitions.
