Martial Arts Workout

Not sure what style karate (guessing kyukoshinkai, and had a lot of messages via PM and comments saying so too) and kung fu (obviously drunken style but I refer to school/lineage), but this is a nice little cruel bit of video, I feel bad for the kung fu guy at the start.

Please keep your comments respectful, and avoid hollow “x style is better than y style” comments, anyone with a clue knows it comes down to the individual, not the style (I know I would shame my kung fu school if its reputation was pegged on my fighting ability), fighting is a mindset, not a set of techniques, after all, and since all martial arts have their own methods of attack and defence based on hundreds of years, it’s all entirely redundant.

If anybody could identify the fighters or where the video is from, I’d appreciate it.

Trophy92 sent me a PM saying the first match is karate vs drunken kung fu, and the second is karate vs snake kung fu, if anyone’s interested in what kung fu is getting thrashed :p

Still open to PMs identifying the fighters (someone did in a comment which I’ve now forgotten) but comments have been disabled now thanks to dipshits who can’t read the “no hollow x beats y comments” in the description. I’m bored of seeing stupid people commenting so yeah, enjoy going through them, but no more will be allowed until I get some tolerance to ignorance (not happening soon).

Goddamn people are stupid, bombarded with stupid comments to my profile instead, you idiots can post here again instead so people can visit my profile safely.

Master Hidetaka Nishiyama is one of the most senior Instructors ever to study and teach shotokan karate-do. As a student of Master Gichin Funakoshi at the Shotokan, and a founding member of the JKA, he’s author of the world’s biggest selling Martial Arts book “The Art Of Empty Hand Fighting”, which is in its 70th re-printing according to reports.

Born on 10th October 1928, Hidetaka Nishiyama was always very enthusiastic towards the Martial Arts from an early age, taking an active interest in other Martial Arts including kendo, judo, and eventually started training under Gichin Funakoshi in 1943.

As a member of the infamous Takushoku University from 1945, because of his impressive skill and ability he was named captain of the karate team, followed quickly by him receiving his shodan garde in 1946, then nidan in 1948.

Nishiyama Sensei, co-founder of the JKA, was elected to the JKA board of directors a very impressive and important position, making him an incredibly influential man in the establishing of the first and most important organisation of Shotokan karate the world had ever seen.

Beyond the JKA, he also aimed to promote the Martial Arts, and in 1952 was selected to be a member of the Martial Arts instruction staff for the Strategic Air Command (SAC) Combat Training Program. Other Shotokan instructors involved included M. Nakayama (Former Chief Instructor of the JKA), and I. Obata, who visited the SAC bases to teach the art of karate.

In 1960, Nishiyama Sensei’s book “The Art Of Empty Hand Fighting”, co-written with R. Brown was published, and is highly regarded as the most comprehensive textbook on shotokan karate, and by record standards – the most successful.

Throughout his long Martial Arts career, Nishiyama Sensei has provided his expertise not simply to SAC, but has also helped organise the All American Karate Federation (AAKF) as a nationally based amateur karate organization, and helped arrange the first National Karate Championship in Los Angeles, under the AAKF. Nishiyama Sensei has become one of the most important names in the popularisation of karate in the United States, along with Master Okazaki and several others. In 1965, he also helped organise the first major Japanese karate styles that led to the first United States vs. Japan Goodwill Karate Tournament, and in 1968 he helped organise the first World Invitational Karate Tournament held at the Los Angeles Sports Arena in conjunction with the Olympic Commemorative Tournament hosted by the Mexico Karate Federation in Mexico City.

What is now known as ITKF was formed under the name International Amateur Karate Federation (IAKF), and in 1975 America saw the very first World Championship which was held in Los Angeles. To this day, ITKF is a major organisation that promotes Traditional Karate international, and Nishiyama Sensei can to some extent be credited with promoting Shotokan throughout American and the world.

Nishiyama Sensei continued his study and promotion of the art of Shotokan Karate-do up until his sad passing away on 7th November 2008, his name and influence will forever be present in the history books and in the karate practiced world-wide, today and in the future.
