Well I think that the high kicks were always there. Matsumura was known for being very flexible and being able to kick over his head from a squatting position. Chotoku Kyan who had zero contact with...

You forgot Shuguro Nakazato, Tadashi Yamashita, Doug Perry, Frank Hargrove, Sid Campbell, Mike Stone and a host of others who were also Itosu-Ha Shorin-ka. The Shorinkan branch of Kobayashi is a very...
The Shorin Ryuha I trained in taught us to crescent step (recentering). This was in both Shorinkan and Matsumura Seito. We also learned that "elbow rubs the side" and all of our straight punches are...
Goju from Richard Kim? That makes zero sense. Kim didn't even do real Shorin. I have always done Shorin Ryu, Shorinkan as a teen and Matsumura Seito under Ron Lindsey as an adult. I do real Okinawan...
Being able to read is good, but comprehending the words in text is a good thing. You need to reread this interview and get your facts straight.
Here's the interview just for you-
...
The written accounts of Channan seem to indicate it was one form. Motobu Choki upon seeing the Pinan version stated that it looked almost identical to the Channan form he knew but with some small...
Suidi stil exists, but with a different name and slightly altered technique. It's the karate from Hohan Soken's lineage.

I have to disagree with this whole "peer" thing too. The term "peer" denotes someone of equal ranking. Although Motobu was known as a good streetfighter and son of an aristocrat, he was by no means a...
Gay Yak please shut up. You are neither smart nor astute, and forget your rank. You don't know crap about punching, scientifically or practically. Your words have PROVEN that. Those Shorin guys at...
You're right. Delivery means a lot, although the truth is still the truth regardless of window dressing. Thank you, sir.

Lets forget about the so-called twist vs. vertical position argument. The vertical position or natural position (45 degree punch) is the most stable for your WRIST. The horizontal the least stable....
Thank you so much sir. Your article with Soken O'Sensei is one of the most inspirational, and informative MAs interviews ever. I look forward to reading more from you on here. Westerners are stubborn...
First off let me apologize for the tirade. I should attack the question and not the questioner. Let's just say that those in favor of the Isshin Ryu standing fist happen to be Isshin Ryu stylists,...
If the thumb is pushing on the bottom of the fingers it is splinting or reinforcing them smarty. Who in real karate uses that "Marshmellow fist" term. Someone who does broke-arsed Shito Ryu or...
BS-Biology at University of Texas- San Antonio. My bro got his MD degree from UT Health Science Center-SA, specialty in Ortho from Wiford Hall MC, and his spine fellowship (subspecialty) from the...
More of what? Hahaha. Whatever. My brother is an orthopedic surgeon genius. I let him read this thread and he laughed his arse off. What higher musculoskeletal authority is there? Some physiologist,...
We do double-bone blocks and bone-on-bone blocks. Everything Isshin Ryu does, with the exception of the faulty fist form, comes from Mastumura's and Miyagi's teachings. Tatsuo didn't include a lot of...
My brother's an orthopedist. He actually wrote a detailed article for the MAs publication "Maishin Shorinji" detailing this subject. I did the medical illustrations of the macro and micro anatomy of...
Is the fist everyone is talking about the traditional tanding or vertical fist with the thumb splinting the fingers (layed across the bottom of them), or the fist with the "thumb on top" position?...
I have never been a "troller". I often over react to personal affronts and presumptuous behavior, but I post neither to incite an argument nor create turmoil. Respect is a two-way street and if a...
Sounds good, but you never wanted dialogue in the first place, otherwise you would have responded in a more cordial manner. You are satisfied with what you do and I'm satisfied with what I do. Good...
Exactly the point I made earlier. Respect is a 2-way street, regardless of your age of supposed tenure in something.
The response from the Shinjinbukan guy was condascending. I guess he thought...
Dan,
I am not anyone's spokesperson. The opinions I express are my own. I am amazed to read that from typed words you can surmise my intent or tone. That is an extraordinary gift. Keep working at it...
Whatever.
Let's make some things clear. I never posted lies about my training or what it is I do or don't know. I had some confrontations with people who wanted to dismiss the merits of good...
