Historical Uechi-Ryu Kumite

this type of sparring was done in a dojo I went to in 1987, the sensei was from Japan...Well these sparring matches and real dojos are a thing of the past

Looks like these guys fight "for real" and hit with full strength. You can't expect techniques to be performed with 100% accuracy in an all out brawling, so it's reasonable that they'll slip, fall and miss quite often, what I don't understand is why are they banding forward while in fighting stance? isn't it weakening the stance and making them more vulnerable?

this also the day uechi died

maybe you should find out more b4 you start talking S**t .

In those old times a karateka was a one-man-army.

is true but the prob is BJJ is that you can only deal with 1 person effectively the bueaty of many styles of karate is dealing with many opponents but i would advise cross training to gain many aspects on combat

what year is this footage from?

kind of reminds me of a combination of kyokushin style sparring and point sparring. i really wish we point sparred like that

wow, i see this as being the ancestor to the dan kumite i practice today

in real situations one blow should suffice to bring the opponent down, ideally a karateka should avoid at all costs close body combat especially if they are as skinny as myself!

Another "cool brazilian jiu-jitsu" practicioner...

I see your point and it is valid up to a point, but in a real situation these strikers would be hitting a lot harder and to more varied targets.

Also, I am not sure about Uechi-ryu, but some styles of Okinawan karate do train some grappling.

In a real situation what would happen after those clinches? This is why all strikers need to back up their systems with grappling. A ref won't be there to break you up.

Más quisieras no tener nunca un problema con ninguno de esos dos "colegiales" que hacen un "combate malísimo"

Wow! That actually looks really terrible.

This looks just like the place I eat lunch. At the end of it do you think they would cook me some Chicken Thai Spicy?

Way to go Long Duck Dong !

There is nothing better than trained martial artists going all out. Beautiful!

when was that recorded?

Are they throwing bare knuckle shots to the face?

De hecho, al tratarse de dos expertos, la mayor parte de los ataques que se lanzan el uno al otro no son más que gazapos, entre los cuales pasa inadvertido el ataque real o "definitivo". Ten en cuenta que para ver resulta necesario disponer de ojos y, desde luego, tú careces de los mismos. Respeta a los maestros que han dedicado su vida al arte marcial, y no olvides ponerte el protector bucal cuando salgas a la calle, nunca se sabe...

Los desplazamientos de ambos son magistrales, deslizándose sobre el suelo sin perder la estabilidad a una velocidad cortante. Cubren distancias extensas con un solo movimiento. A esto, los okinawenses lo denominan "shukuchi", y constituye la base para un ataque verdadero y contundente.

Tar27, a buen seguro has visto demasiadas películas de hong-kong, o la presión del casco de Full realmente te ha comprimido el cerebro. Lo importante no es el movimiento de las manos, o lo "dramática" o "efectiva" que pueda parecer una maniobra de ataque, sino otras cosas.

Before two weeks I had a seminar with Sensei Shigeru Takamiyagi (9.dan Shohei-ryu karate) and some other okinawan masters. He is very good person and fighter as we can see on this video.

Fantastic spirit and commitment

El combate es malísimo, parecen dos colegiales a la salida de clase peleándose
