Okinawan Kumite | Forgotten Combos for Real Self-Defense

Most karate students today only experience sport kumite — fast exchanges for points, judged by rules. But original Okinawan kumite was built for survival. The old masters designed combinations that were close, dirty, and meant to end a fight quickly. Over time, many of these real applications disappeared as karate became more sport-focused. In this video, I uncover lost Okinawan kumite combinations that you won’t see in a modern tournament. These sequences are practical, gritty, and based on real attacks you might face in self-defense situations — like grabs, holds, or close-quarters strikes. ✅ What you’ll learn: -The difference between tournament kumite vs Okinawan kumite -How buried combinations were used for control, throws, and striking at close range -A step-by-step look at combos designed for street-level survival If you’re serious about karate beyond points and trophies, this will change how you look at kumite. 🏖️Karate Retreat 2026 https://forms.gle/Wi8tDLRxNun9ja5H7 🥋10+ Hours of Full Seminar Videos https://courses.thekarateuniversity.org/products/digital_downloads/karate-masters-seminar 🥋Online Private Lesson🥋 https://karateintokyo.com/online-training/ 🥋FREE TRIAL｜Online Group Lesson🥋 https://karateintokyo.com/ ✉️Email me at ✉️ ynkaratedojo@gmail.com *The information/opinion in this video is Karate Dojo waKu's own interpretation and does not represent any other organizations. 📕My Background📕 Name: Yusuke Nagano Birthplace: Kawasaki, Japan Belt Grade: 3 Dan Style of Coaching: The Fusion of Simple Concept and Logical Breakdown -------------------------------------------------------------- What I covered in this video: karate, shotokan, karate shotokan, shotokan karate, karate sensei, karate tutorial, karate how to, karate dojo waku, yusuke nagano, sensei seth, karate nerd, jesse karate, jesse enkamp, karate japan, Japanese karate, karate kid, kumite #karate, #shotokan, #karateshotokan, #shotokankarate, #karatesensei, #karatetutorial, #karatehowto, #karatedojowaku #yusukenagano #senseiseth #karatenerd #jessekarate #jesseenkamp #karatejapan #japanesekarate #kumite #karatekid #kata #karatenearme #karatebelts #shorts All copyrights claims under Associated Press ID - INT25096
