Ossu Keith sensei. Certainly enjoyed this. Domo.

Thank you Sensei Keith

OSU Sensei, thank you for sharing. I remember a Gusshuku as a 15 year old.

Absolutely fantastic to watch again, so inspiring and motivating. Thank you Keith Sensei for sharing this, strong reminder where we come from and how lucky we are to have been taught by the best.

Osu, thank you for sharing this.

I like that they were acting improvements from white belt to black belt. lol

Oss!

Would LOVE to know where to find this and another that was made on DVD! I have them on VHS and they are historic in my humble opinion in the history of Shotokan.

I really liked it.. I just started practicing after 8 years of practicing other arts.
Too bad there are few karate dojos in my city

Awesome, thanks for uploading.

This was such a good watch and really has inspired me to pick up from where I left off. Sensei Keith, do you recall Sensei Les in this film at all? Arigato

Thanks sensei for your extraordinary efforts for making this film. Briefing psychology part of Karate. Lots of love from India

Here after NBD 2

What this showed me along with many other videos of certain styles is that in every martial art form there will always be the need for self discipline for the ability for one to push himself. Whenever i'm asked "Where is your dojo?" I always respond " I am the dojo!".

they were thr best of the best , unlike todays training in UK ,

Thank you so much Sensei, awesome video, I hope one day I will have the opportunity to train with you 😊

Very inspiring
Oss!!

I'm so sorry I don't speak Indonesian but I do speak English, Spanish and Korean quite proficen

Make any contact now in a Dojo and you get penalised.

I've seen this difference since I started in the 80s, until now. It seems like this new Generation (z) are like Cry Babies. I use to come back with all sorts of bruises. May be it's the Insurence purposes now?

I think it should go back to the Traditional way.

Thank you so much managers, specifically for your management style, Michelle. I try to emulate your considerate nature continually and try to refrain from excess, to practice moderation continually, thank you for being concerned and not apathetic when I was smoking pot (marijuana), for caring about my future

What a fantastic documantary. They took their training so seriously as it should be, much further than the dojo. A way of life.

I remember watching this years ago, being inspired, it really captured the times. I also remember training with one of the karateka featured in the film - we were partners at a Kanazawa seminar in Florida and Kanazawa sensei asked us to demonstrate his ippon kumite techniques for the class. I did them first, then Kanazawa asked (I believe his name was Ivan) to do them but on the opposite side, that we had not practiced. Ivan quietly said to me, as we faced each other in yoi,..."bummer" as he proceeded to do the techniques on the left. What a great time, great memories, great karate.

Yah and these girly men can even open the heavy oak door because...wah?

These days people use knives and guns!!!!!!

Doesn't matter how many black belts you have , cant stop knives and bullets can you ,so don't get overcomfident you idiots .Sensei Enoeda was one of the best human beings and karate masters ever .

@_"God's waiting room"
Have you tried a hot-toddy, Mz. Michelle? Supposedly whiskey has medicinal values and the history of whiskey and doctors intertwine and go BAC a long way -Tu Chang

Before society turned....and went wokey tokey! See how the TV wanted people to grow and overcome their weaknesses. Then ask yourself what happened!? As a kid this would have had me in the dojo in a heartbeat! Now!? Alot of it was old JKA propaganda but it was good and healthy propaganda!

Do you like smoking?? I can try to get what you like!!😊

"...and a tree and she was pinned between the two." 🍔🍗🌮

Which style is this jka

Well, that's what Musashi powder is. And there's a change in belts these days...

Never liked shotokan

Keith I had the pleasure training with father in law Stan Schmitt with never forget

The time when karate was popular

2 to 2 1/2 years for black belt seems kind of short. At my dojo, it takes around 5-8 years to reach black belt with continuous training.

💗💗💗💯💯💯💯✌

Karate changed a lot. Actually not karate but the way it is trained nowadays :(.

Ppppfffttt gets easily submitted by any catch wrestler or BJJ practitioner

Somebody get that guy!!
