sensei8 Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 What's the difference from Japanese Karate and Okinawa Karate? Perhaps this video might begin to answer so many questions. In this video's short story about Okinawa Karate, a many things become more clearer, yet, still cloudy. One has to experience Okinawa Karate before one can begin to appreciate what it has to offer.I owe my entire life to Okinawa Karate!! This might not be something one can respect, therefore, understand. But, for me, I've experienced more than my share of what Okinawa Karate has to offer, yet, I've barely scratched the surface on knowledge. This is why, no matter what, I continue to train, and as I grow older, I train even harder.Hopefully, afterwards, one might cast a knowing smile of what every Okinawa Karate student thrives after...the journey ends just over the other hill!! Until then, my journey continues, thankful to Okinawa Karate, and for me, Shindokan Saitou-ryu!!The floor is a merciless taskmaster; I'd have it no other way!!Enjoy this link...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TB6GoNykzEw **Proof is on the floor!!!
cathal Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 This is informative and I really enjoyed watching it. I'm impressed they showed the candid feedback of the Okinawan master as well. Thank you for sharing this! .The best victory is when the opponent surrendersof its own accord before there are any actualhostilities...It is best to win without fighting.- Sun-tzu
sensei8 Posted March 30, 2015 Author Posted March 30, 2015 You're more than welcome, cathal!! Everything spoke right to my heart; the seemingly abruptness of the Sensei's can be alarming to many Westerners and the those not use to the way it is in a Okinawa dojo. Again, I'd never have it any other way!! **Proof is on the floor!!!
cathal Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 I am happy that I learned a bit about their root belief with "the receiving." .The best victory is when the opponent surrendersof its own accord before there are any actualhostilities...It is best to win without fighting.- Sun-tzu
sensei8 Posted March 31, 2015 Author Posted March 31, 2015 I am happy that I learned a bit about their root belief with "the receiving."The receiving is, imho, the core of Okinawa Karate-do!! This is Shindokan!! **Proof is on the floor!!!
