ENGAGE THE OPPONENT WITH CONFIDENCE!
Sparring is not just point-fighting or brutality inside an octagon. The study of self-defense has to do with engagements from various distances and in various situations. Traditional martial arts are not about winning a prize but surviving a dangerous encounter and quickly and cleanly as possible.
FUNAKOSHI'S 9 THROWS
There were actually more than nine.... Gichin Funakoshi and his senior student Shigeru Egami both advocated throwing in karate. In fact it was Funakoshi, when first settled in Japan, who taught Jigoro Kano (founder of Judo) throws that Funakoshi had learned in Okinawan Karate. In Funakoshi's Karate-do Kyohan, he outlined nine throws which have become the basis of Takeshin Karate-do's shodan requirements.
In this unique video, Shihan Tony Annesi demonstrates the harder, more direct "karate" versions of the waza and then shows Takeshin's modified "aiki" versions as applied in a one-step sparring format. A video that will be enjoyed by both Karate and Aiki students.
