Hai.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Very good ❤

Good to hear this again Graham. It reminds me a little bit of one of my favourite quotes. “Life is barely long enough to get good at one thing…be careful what you get good at!” Osu!

Respect Graham ❤

Using a balance to check our stance is a briliant idea. Thanks for the advice, Sir.

Very good take and perfect ❤

This Sensei is such a robust Budo Ka. Lucky those who are learning Karate Do from him. Ossu! Peace and harmony, Sensei Maharaj 😊

Oss.

Is it backed up by traditional science ?

Brilliant. Osu

Great explanation and definitely one terminology that tripped me up

Domo Arigato!!!

THANKS SENSEI . REALLY GREAT TECHNIQUES

This is more sophisticated that the Taekwondo hand techniques, but the basics are there. I only got to blue belt so I learned some nice fine points in the video, respectfully from the USA

Thank you for sharing. Lots of details there.

Thank you for sharing. Great video

ahh Sensei, so good to see you.

The bearded student doesn't seem to be breathing. It looks like he's holding his breath.

Agree. Anybody who stands static while someone atacks them would be a fool. Moving to the side is essential for setting up your counter. What do I know though 🤷‍♂️

Great Sense! thanks a lot

Great sensei! Thanks a lot

Eh up Gra...brill to see you showing this...I'm still singing daily...Osu

Great stuff Sensei. I have recently had the pleasure of training with Gavin Hall here in Edinburgh UK. He has always spoken extremely highly of you too. Thank you for this explanation and demonstration.

Why is he doing tai sabaki during gedan barai, and not during gedan uke? Plus, the faster (i.e. closer to attacker's knee) you block, the less time attacker has to get to you. When blocking so near your stomach, the mae geri is already at full length, you are not blocking anything (unless you evade the attack, like he did, but this is not being honest, because he did not evade during gedan uke). The only difference is: barai/harai is a rotating sweep, while plain uke is not. PS: also the distance between uke and tori seems to be different when doing gedan barai (longer distance) and gedan uke (shorter distance)

👍

Kia Ora from New Zealand Sensei, I am a student of Sensei Kevin Shaw he speaks very highly of your Karate and I really enjoyed your book as well, great explanation of barai and use!

Really impressive. Did karate some 34 years ago and I remember it was tough. Heard some rumours it’s gotten soft nowadays. Not this though obviously!

So even villain laughs are great for the vagus nerve 😂?!😅

Thanks for the great information ✨🕊

Impressive!

Good to see you looking well Graham. You don’t seem to have aged!! Osu!
