I don't understand a word he said. But, I understood everything he said. There's something in him...I just like him. The way he communicates, his tone, humility, he seems a kind man. I understood it all

八木明人先生の最後のお話が本当に目頭が熱くなりました。 伝統を守りつつ、時代に対応しなくてはならないし本当に 重責だとは思います。私は色々空手の動画で特に剛柔流を 見ていましたが、八木明人先生の明武館は、他の剛柔流の ように試合の為の空手ではなく、開祖→祖父→父→息子 の流れを忠実に受け継がれていますね。これからも、 どんどんたくさんの新しい世代や後継者を作って未来に 残して欲しいと切に思いました。

I bought a makiwara board same as his in about 1975 ( still have it ) used it every day for years palm strike .Fist .knife hand. Really builds up power and I am 80 now and no hand problems from hitting it .I was the only guy I know of at our dojo that used one.Although only 5.8" and 170lbs i could power punch through bigger guys blocks .And one day a guy was holding a padded punching board and he complained my punches hurt his hand through the padding .I also broke a guys arm with a soto uke block .Take it from me , if you want ( what they call ) a freight train punch , get a floor standing Maki board .Mine is concreted in my garage floor since 1975.

Very wise young sensei who tries to understand his ancestors' intentions, and doesn't cling to flawed interpretations of the old techniques. Karate is that mindset -- the intention to challenge oneself to endure -- while all the details in kata and kihon can evolve over time.

Teaching the karate with the body, mind and spirit aspects improves our own understanding. I live my practice and I love passing on what I have learnt. This is inspirational and humbling.

うちの道場でもほぼ同じ部位鍛錬やりますが、橈骨も尺骨も腓骨も脛骨も振動でしなるほど打ち込み合うので痛すぎてつい加減したくなりますが、　鋼の体をつくるのは当然のこと、我慢して痛みに負けない強い心、自分の弱さと向き合います。 何より自分と相手とお互いが安全な場所で痛い思い、怖い思いをする事で相手を傷つけてやろう痛い思いをさせてやろうという気持ちが無くなり、人を思いやる優しい心を培われます。 まさに武道の精神性の修行ここにありです。

Thanks so much!

O karate de okinawa é um patrimônio do mundo, oss a todos os karatecas.

格好いい凄い先生なのに笑顔が優しい先生。

From the moment I saw him in Kuro Obi: I felt a strong , genuine, humble connection with him. Though I’ve been a 45 year practitioner of Shotokan Karate Do, I feel a very heartfelt connection with this remarkable man. Forever blessings

nice!! a sense of romance in the art of Okinawan Karate. Romance defined as a peaceful joyful satisfying moment of one's internal mindset and the further understanding and future development of that art. hmmm 40 years of practice that's just incredible...we can barley get past 40 minutes!!

古式剛柔流を見たあとだと、本当に心が洗われるよう…

Un privilegio ver y escuchar a este maravilloso maestro!

Love it!

Wow that's amazing training together for 40years much respect for you two oss!!!

Fantástico! Genial!

Es exelente ver qué muchas personas meditan en verdad lo que es el karate . Yo práctico Shotokan y actualmente soy 3er kyu y quiero mejorar mi karate física y mentalmente .

excellent lesson. thank you🥸👍🏽

Good video, the interview at the end is true, protect one self, later on you dive more into the culture and movements. Yes older people need exercise so they take up martial arts to also stimulate the mind as well.
