Love listening to discussions between martial artists of mild-mannered, humble, respectful demeanors. Very refreshing.

[christophervelez]

I don’t practice karate at all but Sensei Yuske’s channel pops up on my feed and I have liked all the videos I’ve watched.

[camiloiribarren]

Hah! I love seeing the comparison of Shotokan training in Japan and the Shotokan training in USA. It is definitely great to see comparisons between practices between countries

[Semperkick]

Watch the young man for a long time and he's doing a great job.

I think it's awesome that many of the youtubers that I'm subscribed to are interviewing and doing content with each of, you and Yusuke included. I am a student of Yusuke's online classes and he does put out great content, along with being very helpful with the training, despite being online. Kudos to you both for trying to bridge the gap in Karate.

Great video Dan. I think its awesome he teaches karate to tourists. When i visited Japan i went to train at the jka honbu dojo. It took alot of research and i had to get alot of info from friends and instructors that had gone previously. What a great service that is!

Shorinjiryu Kenkokan Karatedo in (Tokyo) we have a Dojo Kun that everyone recites. We also use the SuperSafe Bogu for Full contact sparring. Our Soshihan is Masayuki Kudaka. With a lineage that goes back to Kudaka Island in Okinawa.

[JovenGalleno]

Dan, Seth, Yosuke and Jesse Enkamp should do a collab! All in ONE!

[lazarusgrey]

Super interesting! Love the team up! As always, thank you 🙏

[YoukaiSlayer]

Nice crossover, it’s good hearing more about Keio University & the older generation that aren’t as widely as known like some of Funakoshi’s other students.

[tsan]

Great to see hear the preservation with no egos here - oddly at the IKC traditional systems always had big crowds during kata competitions

[KurtAngle]

Boy, what an age to be alive. Collabs between the best content creators in their fields

[ericte]

I have debated on what karate art that I want study, I.am on the fence with kenpo and kajukenbo, and now shotokan. Which are all interesting.

[Soldier-of-God.]

Thank you for bringing us this wonderful interview, with Sensei Yusuke Nagano of Japan's Shotokan Karate. Like you Sensei Dan he is very knowledgeable, humble, honourable as well as respectful and open minded towards other martial arts styles.

It is great to see that Sensei Yusuke Nagano, being a young man, that he has an open mind, where he sees the positive blending between the Japanese and Western mentality, approach and attitudes towards martial arts training and conduct of one's self. This was a phenomenal collaboration between you two, of which I look forward to further videos with you two, on both of each other's YouTube channels, Osu!🇲🇽🇦🇺🥋🦘🐨🙏

It is funny that the university Shotokan Karate Clubs in Tokyo have developed differences in form and Kata. Funakoshi was the formal leader of both Keio and Waseda, but he allowed them to diverge somewhat. The founder of Shotokan Karate of America, Mr. Ohshima, trained directly under Master Funakoshi and has tried to be faithful to Shotokan as he was taught and the changes he has made are few and far between.

[septred]

I was in one of Yusuke san's online free classes in the recent past.

[danskarate]

I like the fact there are still disciples of gichin funakoshi still going strong, keio dojo sounds like the sort of place I would like to train.

[jakmak]

Having a third degree in taekwondo and a second degree in shotokan I actually prefer the shotokan kata over the taekwondo especially my tournament kata is called the Bassai Dai (minor) which I probably mistranslated to Breaking though the Fortress". I definitely need to revise my kata to reflect the OG Shotokan.

[fourscorpio]

Great interview with Yusuke! I enjoy his channel a lot too.

[cahallo]

Shorin Ryu is awesome, it looks like wrestling with strikes.
