I love his reply that "he don't know if he can defeat them until he actually fight". Despite being a karate master, he gives such measured and humble reply. Perhaps precisely because he is a karate master, he knows the limits of his mastery of his own art and that for every mountain, there are yet higher mountains 一山還有一山高。

In `1953, I was stationed in Kadena AFB, Okinawa. I took Judo and Karate then. My instructors in Judo were, the Chief of Police Mr. Yamakawa, Mr. Ohama, Second in command in the Police Department, their instructors of the police at that time: Mr. Tomasito in Judo, a huge man, and Mr. Miyasato, a 7th dan, in the art of Karate. I was priviledged to have been invited by Mr. Yamakawa to continue my Judo training with the Naha police, my instructor then Mr. Tomasito, and then, was introduced to Karate, my instructor Mr. Miyasato. These happened during my las three months of my stay in Okinawa. I was in the Air Force, stationed at Kadena AFB. The reason these people took to me was because I was short in hight, 5'3"" tall, like them and I was extremely fast in my movements. I became a Brown Belt during a tournament in which I bested two American Marines and then lost to an Okinawan young black belt. I got my belt though. I cherish that year and a half stationed there and to have been taught the Martial Arts by those wonderful and professional Okinawans. I am 91 years old and I still practice my Katas. TSgt USAF Retired.

I'm 64 & out of shape. In my late teens through my late 30's I studied various diciplines of martial arts on & off but mostly on. I have not trained for 20 yrs for various resons. This vidio encouraged me to begin training again. Not the way I did in the day but to do what I can to improve. Thank you for inspiring me to begin again.

[jpinon]

He has a lot of wisdom to pass on. I would be honored to have a sensei like him.

[randpresley]

My sensei was an old man, nearly 87. The power and technique he exerted without force was incredible. Respect to him was not because of his age, respect to him was of his vast knowledge of efficient execution. RIP!

[kraptastic]

Sun shines eternally on the teacher who shares wisdom near children. Thank you for the video and the lessons

[felmarfuentes]

This is rare. Getting wisdom from a master, that's intended for real encounters, sharing applications you don't see everyday. Highly practical, thoughtfully done, sincerely given, secrets from a master, selfless.

[ImmySpeak]

There's so much to learn from him... absolute wisdom and knowledge...

[shawncarter]

It's gentlemen like this sensei and the respect and friendship shown by the students which make me prefer traditional martial arts over current popular disciplines. The wisdom and life philosophy are much more important to me than anything.

[seoulmandan]

A great teacher realizes he has never stopped being a student.

[Turco]

Gotta love Okinawan MA masters, they could be kicking your butt with the most sincere smile on their face!

[EricFrog]

This teacher is authentic, and I can tell he has had sparring/fighting experience. Respect to him. I hope people learn and share his experiences.
Some observations:
0:46 is the same concept as Muay Thai's use of the shin. Same as using the shin on the opponent's thigh.
2:07 works because you are jamming the kick, and not allowing the full momentum to hit you. The same concept is true for all strikes against you (including non edged weapons). Either get out of the way, or jam it up by closing the distance. In Japanese terms, this is known as maai 間合い.
8:32 "The reality often does not go according to theory." So true. That's why all martial arts used for self defense or fighting need to be pressure tested by their students. You will only learn by doing. This realization can only be discovered through moderate to hard sparring, full contact sport, or real fighting. This is why the way you practice matters just as much or more than the style you practice.
8:45 The blocking attack is seen in western boxing, too.
9:26 is off balancing. Control of one of the four corners of the torso (2 shoulders and 2 hips). This breaking of balance is a core principal in judo, too.

[barrysmith]

Exactly the kind of person that would avoid confrontation at all cost, being at peace is more important than puffing out your ego.

[lzsmith]

Being an 11 year Black Belt, it is always best to keep learning. I learned a lot by watching Sensei here. We can all learn from others.

[NBDY_SPCL]

It is an honor and a delight to watch such a master perform his Kata. Lots of Sanshin in there.

[kummer]

That's a genuine practitioner. No fancy movements, no promises of a win but certainty on the technique and the preparation of it. This is a wise man.

Martial artists ALWAYS practice every single day.

[caarijitchakrabortystechta]

Yagi Sensei - the venerable Okinawan Master - A fountain of knowledge, philosophy and physics of Budo Karate .. Thanks also to Naka Sensei for exploring styles other than Shotokan, tracing the deep connect with Okinawan styles and passing it on to us .. both are true Masters - humble, articulate and technically brilliant. Osu .. respects from India

[EvgenyMinin]

Нападающего тяни Падающего толкни.. Выверенные движения, знания- сила!! настоящий мастер не бьет людей и истинное мастерство заключается в отсутствии тебя при боевых событиях.
