These young students are simply amazing! I would love to know what training they recieved to lean the stances and techniques so well!! If only I could my students this disciplined in their karate!!!
These kids are amazing. I have to wonder what their training was like. Such discipline and focus for such a young child.
Performed better than many older students I’ve seen; even at the adult level. Well done - OSS!
I am inspired by these two. Technique is very sharp, especially the young lady. Puts some adults to shame like someone else said. They say there are no bad students, only bad teachers. They obviously have good strong teachers.
oh my god, these kids have got perfect stances, perfect arm movements and a great set of hips on them, I have been shotokan for 13 years and still wish my hips were as good as that lol. well done you guys.
Osu!
I am very impressed at their intensity. What an excellent example for Karate Ka around the Globe. My best wishes go out to these two young Karate Ka and my congratulations to their Sensei for helping to develop these young students into an excellent representation for the Karate Community.

@Carl2 Actually this is very common in Japan and Okinawa. A lot of preteens receive their shodan there, because in the East shodan is seen as merely the true beginning of training. To them, shodan is equivalent to a child who has learned the basics of walking, and can now learn more complex types of movement. It's in the West that we treat shodan as an endgoal, as a symbol on inward maturity, but not so in the East. Many of the old masters attained shodan long before they were adults.
Fantastic, awesome, incredible...I am really happy with this demonstration.Congratulations.OSS!
got my 1st Dan exam in March, I hope I look as good as these 2!, would be interesting to see the rest of their exam, hope they never lose interest, imagine how good they will be in 10 years!
The basics is what have to practice over and over again and it is a huge difference in culture of West & East, they want perfection and not lazy to do the work, here in the West is instant gratification without effort.
Best of luck in your training, you understand more than most in the West do.
Superior technique from the girl - her kicks and execution of the kihon is lightning fast and demonstrates a very high level of control. I wish I had taken my 1st Dan grading in front of a Japanese panel, makes you wonder how they would interpret my black belt level and skill compared to Shotokan standards here in the UK. I'd like to think I'd still pass, but I think the standard would have to be impeccable.
Anyway - *Karate is fantastic! Domo arigato! for reading.*
I trained at jks honbu, Tokyo in 2001 and 2002 2 months at a time. The intructors-senseis kagawa, Ishimine, yamaguchi, kanayama etc (asai sensei busy) and trainee inada, were incredible. Each had their own style, strenths and teaching method. The childrens/beginners classes at 1800hrs mon/fri tailored to their needs. With such world class teachers rotated progress is rapid, as correct technique, speed, timing always on display. Dojo atmosphere encourages
everyone to try their best.
Fantastic! Beautifl form and technique for such young students. Some semsei out there has sharp teaching skills and lots of patience!
Congratulations!
Fantastic technique, puts me to shame after 10 years training. Well done.
These kids, especially the girl, are awesome. Hope they enjoy it and don't burn out too soon.
Beautiful, future senseis in the making.
Its crazy how good these kids are for their age, seriously.
they are 1/4 to 1/5 of my age yet better than I am...
thats the way,outstanding disipline this is soo good to see is still alive
Awesome....very good stances and sharp techniques as well. Kudos to their Sensei
whoa! Such kame and what great form! You don't happen to have them performing their kata do you?
It is amazing the focus and the technique of such kids. Congratulations on them and their sansei. Oss
I. Am. Speechless. O_O! Where do these children come from?! First, 2 future world boxing champions at almost the same age, now them?! So, 7 yrs. old is the new Sensei now o_O? I am literally shaking my head, & I haven't closed my jaw after watching this. They give "Don't Judge the Book By it's Cover" a new meaning O_O!
Yeah, karate training tends to be a very subjective experience. The nature of the art ultimately encourages one to train according to their own personal philosophy and value system. So it's natural that different people from different background will have different approaches to it. I personally think that's what makes karate so wonderful, it's not meant to be a cookie cutter experience where everyone thinks the same.
In Japan/Okinawa, training is done differently. For starters, they start a much younger age around 3-5 yrs old, depending on dojo rules. Secondly, they train more frequently than most Western students, karate is part of many school/college curriculums as well as after school, 3-6 days/week. At that rate, attaining shodan in 2-3 years is commonplace in Japan/Okinawa. Thirdly, the Japanese view shodan as simply the first step in learning real martial arts, having a grasp on the basics only.
Mas Oyama started karate at 14, but remember, he is not a native of Japan, he moved there from Korea in his early teens. But even he started studying martial arts back in Korea at age 9. Kenwa Mabuni was a sickly child growing up, as was Gichin Funakoshi's son Gigo. Hence their parents had them start training a little later in life...
Very impressive ~~ so kawaiiiiii but so intense... I just hope they continue their journey for long time...
Fantastic! I was taken back by the focus of the students!
adorei esse video, essas crianças são feras...
@THEpillows100 Black belt by definition is a mastery of basic techniques. I haven't seen more than this vid, but for their age it's rare to see such intensity and perfection of waza execution. They no doubt deserve their black belts. You have to consider context.
fiquei emocionado com a tecnica dessas criancas, espero que um dia eu tenha alunos asism
OSS
they both started when they were 3 years old
love it, very skillful
Little boy has incredible precision and coordination.
well done, excellent work
Really gret. Precise techniques, good stregth and great balance.
Impresionante!
Thank You!!!!!!!!!! I appreciate your comment
Its not the amount of years you have train but the amount of hours you train in these years.
If you train for 2 hours a week it wil take you a long time to reach a higher level, but if you train for 10-15 hours a week you wil progress a lot faster.
I like this it is by far the best Ive seen of the younger Dan Grades....Sharp and fast.
Well focused,To be honest I have seen some adult dan grades with less techniques
and some that are sloppy.This is inspirational.....Right wheres my Gi.lol
No seriouse they are good.
You ask what has become of karate today, but in fact this is a centuries-long tradition in Japanese/Okinawan/Chinese martial arts, not just karate. In the West we view shodan as a certain level of mastery, an endpoint. But in their culture it only means you're an advanced beginner, hence it's the beginning of your real journey of mastery. Over there, if you're not shodan by at least 20, you're considered a slow learner. Miyamoto Mushashi was already a master swordsmen by age 15...
Not just talking karate, but Japanese budo in general. There's a Japanese tradition that has children start on the 5th day of the 5th month of their 5th year. Hidetaka Nishiyama, Tsutomu Ohshima, Isao Obata, Hironori Ōtsuka, and Hirokazu Kanazawa - all 1st generation Shotokan students - started martial arts by age 6. Kanazawa was 2nd dan in judo in high school. They started Shotokan later in college; it was still a fairly new art at the time...
Outstanding......Great kime....and kiai....for their age....Better than some big guys...... ;
))))
@CoswayCleaningSuppli it actually helps to organize the classes.
they are very good. the kihon of my 1 dan is completely different!
If we can bring up children in this way, the future looks good, their concentration is amazing for their age, if I could get some adults like this I would be happy .
Sad but very true. I think its the culture difference. Over the years students at my dojo have gotten frustrated about it taking too long to acquire a black belt (5-6 years) and that Sensei makes do basic drills every class. We learn some flashy things, but Sensei has always believe that you use basic techniques (Kihon) during real life confrontations, so you must perfect them. My Sensei's teacher, Master Fusei Kise, is from Okinawa and Sensei teaches very traditionally.
@laserkej so ur telling be they got trough 19 belts,in this age,plus having only 3 years to do it?
Good lawd that's impressive.. how long did they train before this?
Very well,but ,how many KATA,are required for first
DAN? And what is theirs name?...Please!
@laserkej in my dojo we do karate for 10 years before the 1° dan's examination...
MInunat, amazing . Bravos
man these kids are so sharp at such a young age...1 kyu teenagers at my dojo have trouble being this sharp....japanese children will take over the world.....
these kids are wonderful
what style is this?
they are wearing brown belt or black belt?
Muito bom mesmo! Impressionante!
Very good! Awesome!
Oss
Profanation of the idea and philosophy of karate! 1-Dan for at least 20 years!
not strength but also maturity of character and living the philosophy of the sport. giving a black belt to a small child is like saying that this child would have a more rational and sophisticated view on life and its challanges than most adults or even its parents. this can never be right.
laserkej... do you know when did they start their training??
my son is 2 yo. i wish i can take my kid to start karate.
i want to start too... :D
They are ridiculously cute! But seriously? If they are that impressive at this young age, just imagine how impressive they'll be later on down the road. That was great.
These two brown-belt kids are just as good or better than most of the fully grown Black-belts I have seen in reality in a Swedish Dojo.
Excellent.
Man they are just awesome, so cute :-)
Really and truly, Karate is a matter of strength. If you don't have it, you can build it up, but the best strength is natural strength
Children have very good technique! Done!
Pardon me because I dont know much about karate. But how is it possible for a six year old to be a black belt? He must have started at age 1 lol. And do you think 14 is a good age to start shotokan?
Not surprising to see Yamaguchi Sensei at the table. Their technique looks just like him.
Oh, by the way he's one of the best instructors in the world.
Sad to say, cockiness and pride live in every country my friend. Best thing you and I can do is to show them a better way and remain humble.
my God... they're fantastic !!!
how old are them ?!
great dicipline with these kids.
この空手家にお目出度う御座います。
本当に凄い昇段試験をやりました！
(^_^) b
very inspiring...need to train more...
In my dojo you have to be 16 to test for black belt. Takes no less than 5 yrs of training to be considered, even for junior. But these two are very impressive.
just superb aren't they, exceptional children.
esse video e muito massa!
@cosmicburrito2 Agreed. MA is part of school curriculum in Japan and Okinawa, and then there's training after school. That many hours, it's not uncommon to see a karateka get their shodan in 2-3 years. Shodan has different meaning there than it does in US. Here's it's viewed as an endgoal,there it's just a beginning to a new stage, like having learned how to walk. Shodan means you get the basic idea of karate...sort of. So in some respects it's acceptable, if the child is physically ready.
Very very good, for such young children
gosh these kids are good
unbelievable.
Way to go kids!!!
that's the best young girl martial artist i've ever seen and i've seen a lot
Incredible! These kids are way better than every black belt student where I train.
...And when I say the West, I mean modern Western culture, because in ancient times it was very different. Spartans started training their kids for fighting as early as age 7, Ninja as early as age 5. Children can and will rise to a higher level of ability if the adults in their lives train them the right way, with the right balance of love and discipline. This video is solid evidence of that.
@Ballowall and thats what i meant actually^^
that a belt shouldn't only represent technical skill but also your maturity.. but thats just my opinion^^
what a wonder full performance
os piás são fora do sério...
espero que o meu exame de
kuro obi não seja tão puxado...
oss
@Yautja297 How do you know they don't? Just because your 6 can't mean your not mature. Heck you almost have to be to have the motivation to be that good.
Good speed stance are clear
That's just because they're disciplined. I used to know someone who trained 4 times a week called Sean whose now in the GB team. He was like these kids, disciplined.
@demediator not the "western" way, but the westerners who choose not to train their students in the japanese way or the westerners who do not actually have a lineage from the japanese way or the westerners who had trained for a short while from the japanese, but thought they knew enough to start their own programs.
forget anyone else. they put me to shame! incredible
Nice!
Beautiful Technique and Balance! Great job kids!!!
This is how more kids in western films should be. self empowered and discipled.
Muito bom!
That would also fit with what my master told me about the japanese "pre-dan" training process.
@Roronoanne agreed
@Karatekid29 They do it differently in Japan & Okinawa. To them, shodan is equivalent to a baby learning how to walk. Over there, karate is part of school PE curriculum, and then they train after school, so they have way more hours per training day than most Western kids. It's not uncommon to see high schoolers reaching nidan there. In fact, if you're over 20 and still haven't gotten shodan, they tend to think you're a slow learner
bravo oss.
@Karatekid29 They get it because they earned it... They learned everything they had to, to get to the next belt. When you know everything you may wanna lvl up too right?
