Karate Elbows Compilation

Recommended Posts

I wanted to introduce myself and share this video my group recently released on the use of elbow strikes in karate. We hope to release similar videos in the future with different themes and eventually release some instructionals.

I'm an Okinawan karate stylist with an emphasis on the use of kata as human movement and self defense. I hope to contribute and learn from the discussions in this community. I humbly thank you for your time.

Welcome to KF; glad that you're here!!

Nice to see another Okinawan styles' video's here, and I like that you concentrated on the elbow, a sometime forgotten tool over the open handed techniques of most Okinawan styles.

I also look forward to more videos from your group.

Here I was thinking "yet another bunkai video." This one really got my attention. It's a no nonsense, simple and direct approach to bunkai IMO. Too many people try too hard and go overboard, making each move several steps long. Your stuff seems like it gives an attacker minimal time and opportunity to counter. And it's good to see someone working off of hook punches/haymakers instead of the standard middle reverse punch from zenkutsu dachi that you never see in real life.

How about adding some knee strikes in there as well? You're in perfect range. I know it may not fit the kata exactly, but the point is to use the kata as a base, not adhere to it so strictly IMO.

Also, which kata were you using?

Thank you so much, that's exactly what we were aiming for and we're glad it came off that way; a realistic scenario in line with what a self-defense altercation would feel like. Your recommendation about the knees is a good point. We filmed a lot of raw footage for this video and I did not include the clips where we did utilize the knee but I definitely agree that building the muscle memory for knee strikes, even as a means to disengage the attacker's intention, is super vital.

We will release a video in the coming months that will specifically show in which katas these movements are derived. Thank you again for the kind words

Thanks for posting. I really liked the efficiency of movement. Let us know which kata it is from, that would certainly help a beginner like me get a better feel for what is going on. :)

Our next video is up! This one is a compilation based on driving through the opponent as a means to off-balance them. Thank again everyone for the kind words and support, it means a lot to see that we have the potential to make a change.

Much Respect
