This is a GREAT find. So rare and now we see what the old karate looked like pre-JKA transformation. Reminds me of what Tsutomu Oshima Sensei does.

Why Sanchin in Shotokan?

Great film. Very nostalgic for me as I trained at Keio Dai!

Seienchin kannte ich bisher nur von Kancho Kanazawa im Shotokan, identisch mit der Ausführung im Shito ryu. Die Ausführung von Kadomatsu Yoshiro aus dem Jahr 1962 zeigt eine dem Shotokan angepasste Variante. Beindruckend. Schade das diese Form sich im modernen Shotoryu nicht durchgesetzt hat und somit leider eine (fast)vergessene Form ist. Sehr interessant die Anpassungen: Kiba statt Shiko Dachi und der daraus resultierenden Winkel der Handtechniken... Morote Uke in Zenkutsu Dachi... Age statt Mawashi Empi... Morote Empi... Es wäre sicher interessant zu erfahren wie es zu dieser Variante gekommen ist. Arrigatou

Legendary!

I miss sensei tabata

I was in the Tufts Karate Club in 1967 - 69 led by Mr tabata, Mr muoroka and Mr kowabura. , Mr kowabura didn’t know what to do with me, the only girl .

Does anyone have more information about the teacher Tetsuro Noguchi? Do you know what school he comes from?

I’m billy bates’ son michael. Tony C., Anthony A., my father. All the best

I was a member of the University of Massachusetts Amherst Karate Club under NAKF while at University several years ago and the Late Shotokan Karate Grandmaster Sensei Kazumi Tabata would come and conduct trainings and gradings from time to time. I had a great time and learnt a lot it was also a great stress reliever. Some of the exercises I learnt then I still use to this day. It is sad that Sensei Tabata is no longer with us.

There are more throws, arm locks, etc in these katas.

Crazy how I used to do all these exercises my sensei would teach us as a kid during my days of shotokan

❤❤❤

Congratulations to everyone

*Nothing that's been uploaded onto KZfaq or the internet is "rare" anymore. Try to think a little!*

*Please, understand that there isn't such a thing as "very rare video" once it's been posted on KZfaq (or the internet in general). That's called: logic.*

Goju riyu Sachin is perfect

Any stories about sensei John almeida

He whacked me the whole time 1995 kneeland st Boston

теперь я понимаю почему каратистов все бьют

If you do not know who took this video I believe it was me. I have the original at my house. I made a copy for Sensei Tabata and Jim Ambrose. My name is Joe Hizny and I trained with Jim Ambrose. I was actually in the process of getting this on KZfaq but I’m glad you beat me to it. I am assuming you found this among Sensei Tabata’s possessions. If someone else did video this, my apologies. I was unaware someone else did also. Sensei Tabata did ask me to video it. My very best to all I had the pleasure to train with and compete against in my trips to Boston.

What year is this from? This looks pretty ancient.

Many thanks for uploading this Gem of information for an Amateur researcher. Respect to Master Obama, Master Kazumi Tabata and Keio University Karate club for sharing it. A Beautiful link for Karate history… perhaps evolving for the better or worse Depending on your study. Thank you very much. Osu !

If only real attackers would attack with Oizuki ! To bad for us , they don't. So all of these fancy defense techniques would fail.

is there no footage of the heians from that time?

Fascinating stuff. Thanks for posting these videos. Some really interesting variations that will give me much to think about.

Thanks for posting this, it was very interesting (although sometimes painful) to watch. Some odd little quirks in the Shotokan kata, but the general level of performance was so bad (and in this case, I mean "inconsistent") that I'm wondering whether these oddities were glimpses into the way that Funakoshi would have done the kata, or just mistakes! The Unsu in particular was *very* odd. Also, the level of the Naha te kata and the kobujutsu was a bit of a givaway that these were probably little more than curios that sat outside the main syllabus. The way the guy handled the sai made me think he didn't practice with them very often, and the Sanchin looked like just going through the motions.

His kata is amazing and he uses koshi y all movements very different to kata of competition..

To the people who said shotokan is only competition maybe needs to see this!

fantastic. learned a lot

Love it! Well done! Here's ours: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/esugpbt5q6i8faM.html

Excelente documento histórico de la jka, gracias

Fantastic video

Weird version of Unsu he did there

beautiful

this is the kinda 9f shit I went through when I was a young man .sensei Morie always had that stick and would hit me for any time I would dare get out 9f my stance . today you can't even raise your voice to your snow flake students . The thing I observed technique did not improve by this marathon. technique improves with slow analysis of your movements by the teacher or looking in the mirror at your self for self examination.

Dang

Our group started the first Special Trainings in the US. They are quite an experience. I wonder how those girls looked so fresh during hard practices?

Amazing how terrible they were back then.

Gracias a caballeros como ellos, gracias a sus esfuerzos y perseverancias, hoy estamos donde estamos. Gracias. Oss.

My knees and lower back are crying just watching. Nice historical footage. 😭💪

Wow!

Old is gold, oss👍👍👌👌👊👊🥊🥊🙏🙏🥋🥋

When I watch these videos I realise how good my first karate instructor was and he was only niddan. He used to make us to do all of these exercises. Especifically ukemi wazas.
