Dynamic Karate

Training Sanchin combined with Kaatsu method. Kaatsu (加圧, often styled as KAATSU) is a patented exercise method developed by Dr. Yoshiaki Sato that is based on blood flow moderation exercise (or vascular occlusion moderation training) involving compression of the vasculature proximal to the exercising muscles by the Kaatsu Bands. KAATSU is Japanese and literally means "additional pressure" -- additional ("ka") pressure ("atsu"). Kaatsu bands also calls “Blood Flow Restricted” or “Occlusion” bands. #tanzadeh #kaatsu #RBFbands #Occlusionbands #加圧 #WorldKarate #SientificKarate #糸東会 #糸東流 #空手道 #糸東流空手 #空手

拳禅一如 Ken Zen Ichinyo Strength of body. Strength of spirit. One path. The fist and the spirit are one. True karate training is not only physical. The body must be forged through hard practice, and the spirit must be cultivated through discipline, humility, and perseverance. Physical strength and spiritual strength must develop together. #kenzenichinyo #spirit #strenght #karate #shitokai #糸東会 #糸東流 #空手道

Makiwara (巻藁) is a traditional striking post used in Karate to develop correct form, focus (kime), and striking power. It's usually a padded board or post fixed to the ground or wall.

Karatedo(空手道) is not just a martial art. It is a lifelong practice of shaping the self. Its depth is not revealed through victory or rank, but through repetition, restraint, and refinement. What makes it unique is its demand for internal honesty: no shortcuts, no pretending. You are what you train. #karatedo #空手道 #karate #shitokai #shitoryu #糸東会 #糸東流 #空手道 #糸東流空手 #空手 #tanzadeh

Some of my Kumite and Kata matches from the past with Karatedo Song (Karatedo Sanka), a traditional Okinawan “folk song-style”. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ca-uMG96Yy8&list=RDca-uMG96Yy8&start_radio=1 #tanzadeh #shitokai #wskf #pskf #eskf #apskf #askf #shitoryu

In Shitoryu, Shuto Uke is performed by coordinating the whole body, so the movement feels natural, strong, and efficient, coming from a connected use of the body, not just moving the arm alone. One of the key elements is the use of Gyaku Hanmi, where the hip rotates in opposition to the blocking arm, generating power through coordinated torque and stability. Equally important is the positioning of the blocking arm. The elbow and forearm should remain as close to the body as possible, ensuring both protection of the centerline and efficient transmission of force. The technique must be executed as a single continuous motion, beginning from the solar plexus, traveling over the opposite upper arm, and extending to the final position without interruption. Pausing or separating the movement reduces both effectiveness and fluidity. This method emphasizes unity of motion, correct alignment, and a seamless connection between the body and the technique. #shutouke #手刀受け #shitoryu #karate #糸東会 #糸東流 #空手道 #糸東流空手
