Why ALL Karate Styles Are FAKE

What’s your favorite Karate style? 🤔🥋👊

日本人にもいるけど沖縄空手の原点を知ると原理主義的な考えになってそれ以降を否定しがち。もともと伝わった内容があいまいだし唐手という言葉で区別したことからも分かるように手という格闘術がもともと沖縄にはあったともされます。那覇手、泊手、首里手という３系統も由来となった中国武術で系統が色分けされたが何が由来かはわからない。すべてがあいまいだった。だから解釈する人によって体系が変わる。一般に広く広めるには体系化は必要で船越義珍が一つ体系を作ったら、それに納得いかない人が出てくるものだと思う。そして流派が生まれる。流派とは解釈。それを否定することは体系も否定するという事。

ナショナリズムから唐手を空手に改めたって変な意見だなと。空手の型の名前に中国音はそのまま残っている。体系ではなく技として帰化人から伝わって変化もしたから新たに再構築し体系化したときに名前を変えたのは自然だと思う。それに『空』の由来は仏教用語の色即是空の空。この動画シリーズでは仏教もナショナリズムの観点から否定していましたが。

I know „karate“ and some other japanese words…

Thanks Jesse! Great info!

Dude, don't even go there and take the "Judo Chop" move from us. We have seen Star Trek and the double fisted back hand, aka the Super Pimp Slap manuever and the Will Smith Back Handed Pimp Slap, so when we see the fights a good old Judo Karate Chop move is the way to go with the fight music comes on.

Which is the kata that karatecas do in your video? When shotokan, shito ryu and wado ryu do it together ? 🤔

Die dämliche Werbung nervt total. 🙄😵‍💫🤦‍♂️

You forgot to mention Kyokushin Karate. Osu.

the kata have big similarities with Taw Kwon Do katas. I see some inspiration.

Basically what Bruce Lee said about fighting - Except the Okinawans were 100 years ahead of him and didn't have a giant marketing machine behind them...

Not even karate. Also kung fu is the one .

Haha, un Kotoshi est un style d'Okinawa...😂

V interesting. Kanku dai ?

Liu Chu / Ryu Ku Kingdom Islands is part of One China.

kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkKkk

Back in the day, I trained 4 styles: Goju Ryu and Shotokan felt to me like the same thing, I didn't even understand the 2 names. Then Tae Kwon Do, felt somewhat different, lot more legs, somehow more "gymnastic" If I may say so, and the most different to the other 3: Aikido.
It's been over 20 years since I last trained any of it, but I keep using them in my daily life: Discipline, the drive to keep going even in adversity, the understanding of bio mechanics, certain movements that are more efficient... I think that's what all martial arts are really about.
As for actual combat, It would seem to me we've come full circle: MMA is now gathering all of the known martial arts and combining them, we expanded from the Okinawa styles to every known style so far. Feels like a good evolution to me.

It all starts from india 1st check the history of the art it's self.

I've seen your videos before, and i have not been a big Karate guy, i have however enjoyed watching American , (Ed Parkers) Kenpo. If i were to train a Karate Style, that would be the one i would Choose. I like Jeff Speakman too. I enjoy your videos very much, especially the one on the Hyped up 1st UFC, i'm not a fan of B J J and never will be. The arts i've train in at least a little are western boxing, (My old man was Golden Gloves), Aikido for under a year, Muay Thai, Wing Chun, Kali, and Kuntao Silat. I really enjoy your videos.

That´s great. I train Uechi-ryu since 1988 (6´ dan), but before that I trained a lot of Shotokan (1´dan), Shito-ryu (2´ dan) , Goju-ryu (3´ dan). Although Uechi-ryu is my favorite style, the kata I most enjoy performing is Goju-ryu's Suparimpei. Therefore, my daily Karate training is a mix of Naha-Te, Shuri-Te, Tomari-Te and Pangai-Noon, with Wing-Chun which I have been training for over 20 years. Fantastic video. Thanks.

I think to call a style a fake is a bit disrespectful. After all styles lasted many decades if not centuries. Also there are specific reasons why styles develop due to local conditions and challenges and the bodies and knowledge of those who practice them . If you translate karate to a language and styles to dialects of that language then you discover all the styles must be given respect as emerging variations of a common heritage. However I always teach my students and encourage them to develop their own personal style as after all these are martial arts we are talking about and as such we are all artists with our own style that best fits our own experience, intelligence, skills and flair. Sort of a dialect of one!

No karate master would ever waste a bottle of beer like that 😊

Ironic, given Professor Kano united about 100 different styles of jujitsu into judo.

Fake is not accurate . It just evolved into what it is and it is still evolving

The question is: which Karate style does Ryu from Street Fighter practice? Is it supposed to be Shotokan? What about Makoto? Kyokushin?

Its like with dialects which evolve into own language...

Pues creare mi propio estilo de karate con juegos de azar y mujerzuelas

my favourite Karate style is shotokan

1 For who want to take place in modern fight ,kick boxing they can choose kykoshin karate
2 or those who want to enternal strong and focus on breathing than 🫁 Goju Ryu karate
3 stylish kata shotokan
4 world wide influence and marketed karate is Shitoryu

Great history. I learned that Karate is really just modern MMA

What the meaning of "Ryu"....

Beautiful story. Thank you!

Ironically, Judo also came from China. Similar to Karate it is a simplified version, but this time of Shuai Jao.

Lastly, Okinawa was not fully “Japanese” at the time either. It was only colonized by the Japanese in the mid 1800s. It was known as the Ryukyu Kingdom and had a totally separate identity, language, and culture.

No mienta

My karate style is shito ryu❤❤

I don’t often train myself in martial arts, but I have been watching Karate practitioners doing their moves. I highly enjoyed watching Shotokan and Kyokushin, but I barely find differences between them. I just know that each style has their own rules. Nonetheless, they’re all Karate.

estimado maestro los subtítulos dejan de aparecer y no comprendo todo el documental, podría corregir está situación. le agradezco mucho

Thank you very much Sensei Jesse

Your videos are very interesting and educational. And it makes a lot of sense. Thank you for your research and presentation of that.

Dip them all in ranch dressing and enjoy the savor of the flavor.

As a 68 year old who wants to begin again after 30 some years should I not continue with Shotokan?

Karate styles are downloads for heaven

Jesse bro iam training uechi ryu so all karate Different style but orgen in Okinawa thanks for information jasse

Good video. Very interesting. I was always a bit confused how Wushu became Karate.

😃👍Danke für das Video.

Maybe you should do a "no style playlist" so people stop asking you about styles. I see where you are coming from, yet try it from my angle. Lets say every business is the same, they all have accountants, workers and machines. But you do not go and mix them up all by yourself, but you go and let specialists in their field work together. Same with karate. First you learn one business until you understand how it works and what it does, then you could start and change the business or something, so you see what lets itself translate and what needs to be mastered new. The difference in style comes from the difference in people, you cannot let someone with a sumo body doing flying kicks over five chairs.

The original name for Karate in Japan is "Tang hand" or "Tang-te." It derived from the Chinese characters "唐手," which referred to the martial arts that originated in China (specifically in the Tang Dynasty). Over time, the pronunciation and writing of the term changed, and it eventually became known as "Karate" in Japan.
Yes, the term "tong" can also be spelled as "tang" in some contexts. Both spellings are used interchangeably to refer to Chinese secret societies or organizations. The variation in spelling can be attributed to differences in transliteration systems from Chinese characters to English.

Karate came from china thank you for explaining this ive argued this to alot of ppl for years
