I don't teach Karate. I teach Nihon Goshin Aikido, at a Karate dojo. But they don't do a ton of kicking, either. They seem to focus a lot more on hand/arm strikes, from what I've seen when watching their yudansha classes.

Is the reason you don't train kicks because you don't want to suffer the agony of de-feet?

Yeah, a 2-hour seminar that was recorded and posted to youtube.

But, 2 hours?

Ain't nobody got time for that.

It better be edited.

And 1.5x minimum ftw.

Well you figure once you get through the 20-minute speech on how great the person is, the 10-minute advertisement for some random video game that has nothing to do with martial arts, 15 minutes begging for likes and subscribes (as well as another 5 minutes explaining how to like and subscribe), and 20 minutes of self-advertisement for Patreon support and online merch, you don't even have an hour left.

You ever done karate?


It seems to me from this and other posts that he has picked up a little learning and we know what that is. Where he gets his information from I have no idea but it seems consistently wrong about every style he comments on.

My 2020 goal is to cultivate a better quality of balance between work, family, and training.

A very important goal whatever your work and other activities are, without balance nothing works properly, good luck.

That is not necessarily true.

Okinawa karate seems good self def and basic
The S. Karate is odd
The K. Karate has many high kicks( good for mma)
Kenpo has a lot of chaining attacks that seem odd

Just from videos I have seen

Krav is very easy system to learn
It has many copies from karate but has gotten rid of the silly punches, katas and laughable stances and movements

Krav is a good starter system and attracts many middle aged folks with no experience

I rarely ever see much karate schools anymore .
It’s all TKD, BJJ and a little MT

Better to stay silent and have people think you are a fool rather than speak and let people know you are.
You've crossed the line into trolling now.
