1 00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:04,320 Speaker 1: Welcome to you Stuff you should Know from house Stuff 2 00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:13,960 Speaker 1: Works dot com. He and welcome to the podcast. I'm 3 00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:18,159 Speaker 1: Josh Clark, just Charles W Chuck Bryant, and Jerry and 4 00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:22,880 Speaker 1: this is stuff you should know the Kata Day edition. 5 00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:25,360 Speaker 1: That's pretty good. I looked up a bunch of these 6 00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:29,280 Speaker 1: pronunciations for once because we get the random email. Still, 7 00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:31,479 Speaker 1: it's like, it's really lazy that you guys don't pronounce 8 00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:33,519 Speaker 1: things right. I had a guy the other day on 9 00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:35,800 Speaker 1: Facebook said that he's brand new to the show and 10 00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,360 Speaker 1: it's a big turn off for him, and I just said, 11 00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:41,800 Speaker 1: you are in for a long, frustrating experience, my friend, 12 00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:44,360 Speaker 1: because it's kind of a hallmark of the show that 13 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:52,200 Speaker 1: we botch pronunciations. Don't try we botched pronunciations. That's good stuff. Check. Thanks. 14 00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:55,560 Speaker 1: You do you know a need karate? No, I never 15 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:59,360 Speaker 1: took any of that stuff, did you. I took taekwondo 16 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:03,639 Speaker 1: for in it. Yeah, And then I was like, yeah, 17 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 1: I'm surprised I didn't do it after the Karate Kid 18 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:10,560 Speaker 1: movie because I was the age where I should have 19 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 1: run right out to the nearest dojo and signed up. 20 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,959 Speaker 1: But um, I think I remember even back then thinking 21 00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 1: I don't ever want to get hit in the face 22 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:23,960 Speaker 1: if I can help it, which is the same reason 23 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 1: I've never been in a fistfight. I don't. I don't 24 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:27,960 Speaker 1: think they hit you in the face. I think, as 25 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:29,760 Speaker 1: a matter of fact, if if you do go to 26 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:33,480 Speaker 1: a dojo or a karate school and they hit you 27 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 1: in the face, you should tell somebody, because I don't 28 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,039 Speaker 1: think they're supposed to do that. Well, yeah, you're right. 29 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 1: I just didn't want to be hit at all. And 30 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:43,400 Speaker 1: once you see karate kid, all bets are off, you know, 31 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,559 Speaker 1: because if you you never know, if there's a cobra 32 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,400 Speaker 1: kai next door. They don't play by the rules. No, 33 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 1: they really don't. You know. They don't have sleeves to 34 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 1: their g now they well, they're just bad kids. They 35 00:01:55,360 --> 00:02:04,920 Speaker 1: sweep legs, injured legs all like like I bleedingly blonde. Yeah, um, yeah, 36 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 1: they're bad guys. Did you watch that recently? I watched 37 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 1: some of it today, I did. I watched a little 38 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 1: bit of it. Um last week it was on And 39 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:15,919 Speaker 1: I have to say that there's no bigger disappointment in life. Well, 40 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 1: of course there are, but the more disappointing things in 41 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,079 Speaker 1: your cable TV watching life than when you're scrolling through 42 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,080 Speaker 1: and you see, oh, karate Kid and you turn it 43 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 1: on and you see Will Smith's son. Whoa, it's such 44 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 1: a letdown. I can't imagine you know that it was 45 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,080 Speaker 1: at all enjoyable. So I've been burned. No, I didn't 46 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:36,800 Speaker 1: watch any of it. I've been burned a lot lately 47 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 1: with that. And so the other day, Yeah, the other 48 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 1: day I saw karate Kid and I was like, I'm 49 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 1: not even gonna try, and I did, and I saw 50 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:48,960 Speaker 1: Ralph Macchio and my heart just burst. That's the real 51 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:52,799 Speaker 1: karate Kid. They should put on the cable list karate 52 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:57,360 Speaker 1: Kid sucky version for the other one, I still say 53 00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:01,119 Speaker 1: to that moment where um Pat mur Da has been 54 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:06,520 Speaker 1: training him with all the unknowingly training him with all 55 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 1: the tasks he performs, Yeah, like wax on, wax off, 56 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,800 Speaker 1: sand floor, paint, fence, paint, house, jump on. When he 57 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,240 Speaker 1: finally has it, the big climax of that part when 58 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 1: he's like, that's it, I'm out of here and he 59 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 1: tells him to show me all this stuff and then 60 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 1: he just starts in on him and he blocks all 61 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 1: the stuff. I'm getting chill bumps just thinking about it 62 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 1: all these years later, you really are Yeah, Wow, it's 63 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,240 Speaker 1: it's powerful. They do that zoom in and he just 64 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,240 Speaker 1: goes and he just starts wailing on him and he 65 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 1: blocks it all and then they bow and that just 66 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 1: should have been the end of the movie. Oh no. 67 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 1: I watched the end of the movie today and I 68 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 1: was like, hoping this is still good, like the whole 69 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:47,119 Speaker 1: montage with the best around, you're the best around. Uh 70 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 1: and then the of course crane kick at the end 71 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 1: where he sends Billy's avka, Yeah, sprawling ye great stuff. Yeah. 72 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 1: And if you want to feel super old, last year, 73 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 1: Ralph Mancio turned the same age that At Marida was 74 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 1: when they shot Karate Kid. What yeah, oh wow, because 75 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 1: he was rob Macho was old when they made that movie. 76 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 1: He was playing sixteen. But he was like, yeah, he's 77 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 1: much older. Wonderful actor then he had met. I worked 78 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 1: with Pat Marida once on a music video. He was awesome, 79 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,920 Speaker 1: which one I can't remember actually it might have been 80 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 1: uh Alien Aunt Farm there they were banned. Okay, they 81 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:29,800 Speaker 1: weren't very good, but they had a video with Pat 82 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,280 Speaker 1: Marida and it and he uh, Pat Marida drank white 83 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,840 Speaker 1: wine all day long. Yeah, in his trailer he had 84 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 1: like a couple of bottles of chardone on ice. I 85 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 1: thought that's my only story. Was he in the Karate 86 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 1: Kid three with Hilary Swank. I didn't watch any of 87 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 1: the sequels. Actually, the second one was pretty good. It 88 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 1: had at Peterson Tara song in it. Yeah, I didn't 89 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 1: see that one. Good one he goes as he goes 90 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:53,600 Speaker 1: to Okan. Now, all right one and there's like the 91 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 1: hurricane and the bad guy who turns out to be 92 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 1: a good guy in the end. And he probably has 93 00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,840 Speaker 1: a Japanese girlfriend in that one, right, he falls in 94 00:04:59,920 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 1: the love over there. Yeah, I'm not Elizabeth Shoe. No, no, 95 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't even know if she made an 96 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,480 Speaker 1: appearance in the second one. But anyway, Chuck, you realize 97 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 1: we've just dedicated it eight minutes to talking about Karate Kid. Well, 98 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 1: I mean, you can't not. Every other line in this 99 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,800 Speaker 1: article made me think of the Karate Kid movie. It's 100 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:22,599 Speaker 1: funny you point out this article because reading this article 101 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 1: made me laugh for a different reason. Every time I 102 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:30,240 Speaker 1: saw martial arts expert or karate Master, I thought of 103 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 1: like Napoleon Dynamite. I couldn't get past that. So if 104 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 1: you're if you want to real treat, read this article 105 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 1: and just think read it in the voice of Napoleon Dynamite. 106 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:41,839 Speaker 1: It works really well. Uh, and just a bit of 107 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 1: c O, a real quick with a lot of things 108 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:48,160 Speaker 1: like chess and things that people are really into. This 109 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 1: is a very broad introduction to kadate. This is uh. 110 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 1: We should even call it kata te for non practitioners, 111 00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 1: kada te for people who pronounce it karate right be 112 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 1: because this is gonna be a nice overview and a 113 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,720 Speaker 1: nice introduction. But um, please do not think we are 114 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 1: kata te experts or masters, because we are not. Let's begin, Yes, 115 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 1: so chuck. It turns out and you're pronouncing it correctly, 116 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 1: kata t. It's actually two words, and I guess okinawan 117 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 1: because that's where it was originally invented okinawa. Um. And 118 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 1: basically the whole premise of I am forgive me everyone 119 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 1: who's appears, but karate. That's how I was brought up 120 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 1: to say it. Yeah, we'll just say it like that, yes, um. 121 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 1: The whole purpose of it is to basically manipulate basic 122 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 1: physics to your advantage. So no matter how big or 123 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 1: small you are, you could conceivably win a fight or 124 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 1: thwart an attack. That's right, um. And like I said, 125 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,839 Speaker 1: the whole the whole thing began in Okinawa, and most 126 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 1: martial arts came out of India, Japan or China. And Um, 127 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 1: karate is, from what I could see, the second most 128 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 1: widely practiced martial art, so after taekwondo. Interesting. I I 129 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 1: saw it like in a couple of places, but it 130 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:20,240 Speaker 1: wasn't necessarily verified. And then, um, that's really saying something 131 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,440 Speaker 1: because over the years of the last few millennia, since 132 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 1: people started practicing martial arts, um, there have been thousands 133 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 1: of variations on the theme. But karate is definitely its 134 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 1: own thing, and it arose out of this these periods 135 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 1: of strife where the peasantry often had their weapons forcibly 136 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 1: removed from them by the ruling classes so they couldn't rebel. 137 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 1: And so the o'kanawan said, you know what, Um, fine, 138 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 1: We're going to teach ourselves to use our bodies as weapons, 139 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 1: and thus began the groundwork for karate. That's right. And 140 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 1: there's a father and son who are credited as the 141 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:02,920 Speaker 1: uh sort of the father of modern kata te um. 142 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 1: The father was Funa Kochi gi Chin Chichen and he 143 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 1: wrote the original twenty guiding principles of kada Te. And 144 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 1: his son they developed the Shoto Khan style. And the 145 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 1: son his name g I g O. What is that? Gijo, Gijo? 146 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 1: Where do you see that? Well? That was his his 147 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 1: His full name is Funakoshi Yoshitaka, but I think he 148 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:31,040 Speaker 1: went by Guijo, Uh, Funakochi. It would probably be gi 149 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,440 Speaker 1: Jo because name is chi Chin, which I verified with 150 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 1: my wife by the way, okay, and she knows much 151 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 1: more than me. So uh, that's the father and son. 152 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:44,559 Speaker 1: The son started doing kada te because he had tuberculosis 153 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,840 Speaker 1: and you know, well, as we'll get into this krid, 154 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 1: he's very much about breathing and so he did to 155 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:53,199 Speaker 1: help with that, which it did. But he did dive 156 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 1: tuberculosis at thirty nine. But they were the modern founders, 157 00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 1: and Dad was a little more aggressive than son. He 158 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,960 Speaker 1: was full contact. And the sun came around and said, 159 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 1: you know what, I believe in a more peaceful application 160 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 1: of this and this karate dough or the karate way 161 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 1: is more of approach to life and um than just 162 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 1: like a combat style. Right. He took it from like 163 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:23,199 Speaker 1: being a like a kind of a lunghead, like just 164 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,680 Speaker 1: like his old man, right, just beating people up kind 165 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 1: of things too. You don't really have to actually hurt anybody. 166 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 1: You don't even necessarily have to land a blow on 167 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 1: another person to be a karate master. And that's what 168 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:39,080 Speaker 1: he came up with, Like you said, the karate dough, 169 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 1: um and this is this is all fairly recent. I 170 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:47,160 Speaker 1: mean we're talking like the early twentieth century. Yeah, um 171 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 1: and the dad uh Funukoshi ji chin he took it 172 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:56,959 Speaker 1: from Okinawa to Japan. But his son, um Funukoshi Yoshitaka 173 00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:02,840 Speaker 1: what did you say, his nickname was sure he uh 174 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 1: kind of introduced it to the world, made it a 175 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 1: lot more like two guys like you or like I 176 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,880 Speaker 1: don't want to get kicked in the face. Yeah, he said, 177 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:13,680 Speaker 1: no one's gonna kick you in the face. Let me 178 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,000 Speaker 1: teach you the karate way, and he did. But a 179 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:17,720 Speaker 1: way to really know you're not getting kicked in the 180 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:21,439 Speaker 1: face is to never take karate. Let's just watch from 181 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 1: the sidelines. Yeah, to be a student, and the students 182 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:30,319 Speaker 1: are called a kata taka um or karate ka from 183 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 1: the American South, And like you said, that's actually two 184 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 1: words in Japanese. It means a kada is open and 185 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:40,400 Speaker 1: ta means hand, So it means open hand and reference 186 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:44,560 Speaker 1: to your body as your weapons. And there is the 187 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:48,200 Speaker 1: weapon and then openness. It's all about being open to 188 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:52,720 Speaker 1: the world around you and very observant um for many reasons, 189 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 1: but one reason is so you can be aware of 190 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:58,559 Speaker 1: when the street thugs are coming after you, right the Yeah, 191 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 1: you're open to your roundings. And I didn't realize that 192 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 1: they were, that they signified two separate things. I thought 193 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 1: it was open hand, like you know, like slat fighting 194 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 1: or something like that. I knew it wasn't. There wasn't 195 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,640 Speaker 1: a lot of slapping in karate, but um, I thought 196 00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,240 Speaker 1: open hand meant that you had no weapon in your hand. 197 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 1: But that's just what the hand meant. The open part 198 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:23,319 Speaker 1: was I'm aware of everything right now, and I'm open 199 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:28,360 Speaker 1: to changing possibilities and options, which is a huge fundamental 200 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:31,640 Speaker 1: part of karate. Yeah, your spirit is open as well. 201 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 1: Yeah this, uh, this UM article gets kind of esoteric 202 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 1: at the end. It does, but I think that's part 203 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 1: of it for a lot of people. So we'll cover that. 204 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 1: So if you are a non cobra kai member of 205 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,280 Speaker 1: a karate school, you're gonna wear what's called a G 206 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 1: in white. It's the loose fitting pants in the robe 207 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,320 Speaker 1: that's pulled together by a belt. It's not a black 208 00:11:56,400 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 1: muscle shirt. I know that's disappointing with a cover on 209 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:02,920 Speaker 1: the back. Uh, that's right. And you are ranked by 210 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:06,920 Speaker 1: your dawn d A N and these are the rankings 211 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:12,440 Speaker 1: in ascending order, from ninth to six Q. That's your 212 00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 1: skill level. Right, you can mean novice. You can just 213 00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 1: give a little white belt. Your your belt is gonna 214 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,920 Speaker 1: match your g You're gonna feel silly. It's a little 215 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:24,559 Speaker 1: white uh mess of a six year old. That's probably 216 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 1: when you're gonna do kta tell these days. The fifth 217 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:29,560 Speaker 1: que is you're gonna get the yellow belt. You can 218 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:31,560 Speaker 1: feel a little bit better about yourself because you have 219 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,600 Speaker 1: color now. Then you're gonna get your orange belt at 220 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,040 Speaker 1: the fourth level. You're gonna get your green belt at 221 00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 1: the third, your blue belt at the second, the brown 222 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 1: belt at the first, and then from first to eighth. 223 00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 1: Don you're gonna get that old black belt, which I 224 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 1: always thought was the top level. Apparently there's a red 225 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:53,439 Speaker 1: one after that, did not know that ninth and tenth 226 00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 1: dawn And it even says in quotes rarely awarded. Um, 227 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:00,959 Speaker 1: but now that you mentioned it, the bad guy from 228 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:05,320 Speaker 1: Karate Kid, I believe we're a red belt man. What's 229 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:08,840 Speaker 1: his name? I don't remember. He was from the pac 230 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,959 Speaker 1: Man headroom. Yeah. I was gonna say Mr Lawrence, but 231 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,760 Speaker 1: that was the kid because he's the one that said 232 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,200 Speaker 1: you have a problem, Mr Lawrence. Oh yeah, with sweeping 233 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,080 Speaker 1: the leg just since. Yes, everybody knows him as since. 234 00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:22,599 Speaker 1: But yeah, I think he had a red belt. But 235 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:24,720 Speaker 1: boy he got his come up and send the parking lot. 236 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:29,120 Speaker 1: He sure did. Spoiler alert. But the Q actually the k, 237 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:33,720 Speaker 1: the kyu, the different levels. Um, that's not just used 238 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:39,720 Speaker 1: in karate. They use it in flower arranging, ichibanabana um 239 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 1: and tea ceremonies and basically any Japanese pursuit where there 240 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:48,880 Speaker 1: are masters and there are novices. Maybe I didn't see that, 241 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,000 Speaker 1: but I wouldn't be all that surprise fly catching with 242 00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:57,319 Speaker 1: chopsticks maybe. So, Um, you go through queues. Interesting, that's 243 00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 1: pretty cool. They really take that stuff seriously, Like it 244 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:04,440 Speaker 1: seems like I don't know, I just appreciate the culture. 245 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:07,560 Speaker 1: Of like if something's worth pursuing, it's worth pursuing, like 246 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:09,800 Speaker 1: with all you got right exactly. They don't do things 247 00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,440 Speaker 1: halfway like we do here in the United States. Like 248 00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,440 Speaker 1: I'd stop at the green belt, right, you'd be like, 249 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,840 Speaker 1: I'm at the green I'm doing good now you you you. 250 00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:22,520 Speaker 1: They definitely do pursue things all the way. Um. And 251 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:26,440 Speaker 1: there was another point that I went and clarified with 252 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 1: your cue with going from like a white belt to 253 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:32,600 Speaker 1: a yellow belt to an orange belt. It doesn't necessarily 254 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 1: mean like you are like a karate master or even 255 00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:40,120 Speaker 1: like a tea ceremony master. What it means is, um, 256 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:47,280 Speaker 1: you are capable of performing certain um acts that are 257 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:52,400 Speaker 1: expected to be performed by somebody of that level. Okay, 258 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 1: because I wanted that, because I'll see on Facebook, like 259 00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:57,240 Speaker 1: a friend's like eight year old son is a black belt, 260 00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:00,760 Speaker 1: and I'm like, really, like really, I mean that means 261 00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,120 Speaker 1: that they can do like X kicks or something. It 262 00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:06,760 Speaker 1: doesn't necessarily have to do with talent, although I'm sure 263 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:09,840 Speaker 1: a lot of people dispute that. I think it's more 264 00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:14,360 Speaker 1: like your technical proficiency is described by your belt. I think, 265 00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 1: all right, oh man, we're gonna have a murder for 266 00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:20,760 Speaker 1: that one. I can already hear the keys, the hands 267 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,440 Speaker 1: on the keyboard. So we're gonna talk about physics and 268 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,280 Speaker 1: probably a lot more about the karate kid right after this. 269 00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 1: So physics, buddy, If you're moving and doing anything in 270 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:36,920 Speaker 1: this office, it's going to be described in terms of physics, 271 00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:40,240 Speaker 1: because that's what we do here. And when it comes 272 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:44,440 Speaker 1: to katte or any fight, really, um, you've got potential 273 00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:48,240 Speaker 1: energy going on, and uh, just because you're a big, 274 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:52,680 Speaker 1: strong dude doesn't mean you're gonna necessarily win a fight 275 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:55,560 Speaker 1: against someone smaller and weaker, because there are different ways 276 00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 1: of applying that energy, and karate exploits all that it 277 00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:01,880 Speaker 1: does not exploits, but I guess well, it teaches you 278 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,840 Speaker 1: to exploit it because if you've got your energy and 279 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,360 Speaker 1: you've got somebody else's energy, if you can figure out 280 00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:11,160 Speaker 1: a way to put them together, then you have just 281 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 1: doubled or done whatever to your energy. By adding theirs 282 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:17,960 Speaker 1: to yours, that's right, you create an advantage for yourself. 283 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:22,040 Speaker 1: And that's kind of the key to being a little 284 00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:24,720 Speaker 1: guy like Ralph Maccio and still winning the tournament like 285 00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:28,480 Speaker 1: a broken leg even that's right, Um, so the first 286 00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:31,840 Speaker 1: stuff you want to focus on is learning to concentrate 287 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:37,040 Speaker 1: your energy. Um, I think manipulating your opponent's energy. What 288 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:38,920 Speaker 1: we'll talk about next. That seems to be like a 289 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:42,440 Speaker 1: possibly a more advanced step. First you start out on 290 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:45,920 Speaker 1: yourself and um, there's a couple of ways to do this. 291 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:50,320 Speaker 1: By concentrating your energy, we mean you're concentrating the force 292 00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 1: that you're delivering with a punch or a kick to 293 00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:58,840 Speaker 1: a very small surface area of your body. Like if 294 00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:01,120 Speaker 1: you come up and you shove me, and you're like 295 00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:05,480 Speaker 1: you got something to say, huh, and your hand displayed, Um, 296 00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:08,520 Speaker 1: like you're gonna push me backwards, but you're not gonna 297 00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:11,800 Speaker 1: break my rib because the force of your shove is 298 00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:16,560 Speaker 1: distributed across your palm, your fingers, your fingertips. Um, you 299 00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:19,359 Speaker 1: know all the jewelry you wear, all of that is 300 00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:23,639 Speaker 1: going to be spread across my chest. If you took 301 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,720 Speaker 1: that same amount of force and put all of your 302 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:29,920 Speaker 1: fingers in your thumb together, I delivered it all form 303 00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:33,920 Speaker 1: basically a point um with your with your fingers and thumb, 304 00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:35,960 Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, you are going to break 305 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,240 Speaker 1: my ribs. You probably would punch right through my chest 306 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:40,480 Speaker 1: and out of my back, I would rip out your 307 00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:44,000 Speaker 1: heart and like a street fighter, right. Um. Yeah, and 308 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:45,359 Speaker 1: you can do that on your own body. If you 309 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:47,760 Speaker 1: take like your five fingers and just kind of pound 310 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,080 Speaker 1: them on your chest and then with the same amount 311 00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:53,640 Speaker 1: of energy put them all together, it's gonna feel much different. Yes, 312 00:17:54,640 --> 00:18:00,080 Speaker 1: very simple concept. You're you're diminishing this the s this 313 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:03,960 Speaker 1: area of the point of impact and thereby increasing the 314 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,360 Speaker 1: amount of damage you can do to an opponent. Yeah. 315 00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:08,960 Speaker 1: And in case of punches and kicks, you're you're probably 316 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,520 Speaker 1: reducing that to a bony area of your hand or 317 00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:14,840 Speaker 1: your foot. And uh, a lot of training goes into 318 00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:18,879 Speaker 1: strengthening those areas of your body. Um. And that's your 319 00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:21,840 Speaker 1: technique because uh, you know, if I just went and 320 00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,439 Speaker 1: flailed at someone and punched them, I'll probably break my 321 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:26,840 Speaker 1: hand because I don't know how to do it. But 322 00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:31,159 Speaker 1: it's all about technique and karate. So um, you're you're 323 00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:34,320 Speaker 1: gonna have those parts of your body ready to absorb 324 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:36,880 Speaker 1: that impact on your end as well. Yeah. And apparently 325 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:41,240 Speaker 1: up until not too terribly long ago, UM kata techas 326 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:45,560 Speaker 1: which are karate students again, UM would in their training 327 00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:47,960 Speaker 1: once they said Yeah, I think I'm gonna get serious 328 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:51,000 Speaker 1: about this. Yeah, they would break their middle fingers of 329 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:54,320 Speaker 1: their own hands and larger knuckle. Yeah. Crazy, As as 330 00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:57,240 Speaker 1: it healed back, the knuckle would just be larger, and 331 00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:01,680 Speaker 1: so that little point of impact is strengthened and um 332 00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:04,240 Speaker 1: made just a little larger so that they could really 333 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:08,160 Speaker 1: focus it in there and hurt people. Wow. Yeah uh 334 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:09,880 Speaker 1: and that that they don't do that anymore, Right, that's 335 00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:14,160 Speaker 1: out of practice, out of fashion probably you never know, Um, 336 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:16,159 Speaker 1: did you see that article I sent to the Science 337 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:20,000 Speaker 1: of Bruce Lee's one inch punch? That is a pretty 338 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:25,320 Speaker 1: good example of concentrating your energy over a small surface area. Yeah, 339 00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:27,439 Speaker 1: And and there's a video that goes along with it too, 340 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:29,240 Speaker 1: that was it's pretty cool to watch, you know. He's 341 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:32,240 Speaker 1: he was famous for that for being able to hold 342 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:35,120 Speaker 1: his hand one inch away from a board and then 343 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:39,040 Speaker 1: send that fist through the board without like reaching back 344 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:41,359 Speaker 1: and rearing back. And he does it so quick and 345 00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:44,200 Speaker 1: there's so much power. It's it's just like it really 346 00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:46,480 Speaker 1: comes through even this old, grainy black and white video, 347 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:48,639 Speaker 1: like you have to rewind it ten times just to 348 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,679 Speaker 1: be like, man, did that just happen? Yeah? That quickly. Yeah, 349 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:54,200 Speaker 1: and the bride famously used it to punch her way 350 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,119 Speaker 1: out of a coffin when she was buried alive and 351 00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,840 Speaker 1: kill Bill. Yeah. I'm calling total bs on that now though, 352 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:02,119 Speaker 1: what that she the way out? Yeah, because if you 353 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:03,879 Speaker 1: watch and then I guess it's a good time to 354 00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:07,040 Speaker 1: talk about this. Uh. Karate is all about putting as 355 00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:11,040 Speaker 1: much um impact with your whole body behind that puncher kick. 356 00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:15,720 Speaker 1: So when you see someone kicking karate, it's uh, they're 357 00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:18,359 Speaker 1: not just kicking at you like Daniel Son did at first. 358 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:22,440 Speaker 1: They're usually standing sideways and winging their whole body around 359 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,360 Speaker 1: to get their whole the whole energy of their whole 360 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:27,639 Speaker 1: body into that kick or punch. And that's what Bruce 361 00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,760 Speaker 1: Lee does. You see him, He lunges forward super fast 362 00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:33,120 Speaker 1: with his body and just puts all that energy into 363 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,800 Speaker 1: his little one inch punch. But Uma Thurman's in a 364 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,639 Speaker 1: coffin like she can't move at all. So I just 365 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,840 Speaker 1: called total bs on that. So with Bruce Lee's punch, 366 00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:44,320 Speaker 1: and that's the only thing that movie that wasn't realistic, right, 367 00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:48,720 Speaker 1: everything else is totally dead on. Beat somebody baby, Uh. 368 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:52,520 Speaker 1: When uh Bruce Lee does that one inch punch he 369 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:57,160 Speaker 1: um and you say he lunges forward a little bit. Yeah, 370 00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:59,399 Speaker 1: what you're seeing right there from that lunge to the 371 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:03,320 Speaker 1: point where he's broken through the board um is actually 372 00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:07,560 Speaker 1: a sequence. They figured out. It's a sequence of muscle 373 00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:13,399 Speaker 1: movements to where he starts out generating energy or force 374 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:16,359 Speaker 1: through his huge through the big muscles in his legs, 375 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:20,399 Speaker 1: and then moves him up through his hips by and 376 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:23,800 Speaker 1: then twists his torso and then basically shoots it out 377 00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:27,679 Speaker 1: of his arm. It's crazy. So basically he's he's generating 378 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,520 Speaker 1: a tremendous amount of force and power in his legs 379 00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:32,919 Speaker 1: and directing it up through his body and out his 380 00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:36,720 Speaker 1: arm and then shooting his his hand and inch out 381 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,560 Speaker 1: and all of that force that's been generated by his 382 00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:44,480 Speaker 1: muscles is focused right onto his little knuckles and it 383 00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:47,439 Speaker 1: goes right through a board. It's it's pretty awesome, like 384 00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:51,640 Speaker 1: someone should animate that, like the the energy of that 385 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 1: from the who knows, from his little toes all the 386 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:57,280 Speaker 1: way up. It seems like every part of his body 387 00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:00,400 Speaker 1: is going into that tiny little area. Yeah, it's pretty pressive. 388 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:03,520 Speaker 1: And that they in this article that was on Popular Science, 389 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:07,760 Speaker 1: they figured out that, yes, the the muscles definitely count 390 00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:09,920 Speaker 1: like somebody who didn't have these muscles wouldn't be able 391 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,960 Speaker 1: to do this. But even more important was um the 392 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:17,160 Speaker 1: white matter, the the the material that connects neurons, that 393 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:23,440 Speaker 1: transfers energy or not energy information between your brain cells. Um. 394 00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:28,560 Speaker 1: Because the timing that was required to fully focus this 395 00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 1: force in this perfect sequence over this very short period 396 00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:35,520 Speaker 1: of time took a lot of white matter and Bruce 397 00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:38,000 Speaker 1: Lee must have had that stuff in aces. Yeah, he 398 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,800 Speaker 1: was awesome. Man, those movies are still so great. Uh. 399 00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:43,960 Speaker 1: The other thing Bruce Lee is doing there is following through, 400 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:48,800 Speaker 1: which is huge in uh in Katte, what's it called 401 00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:51,480 Speaker 1: the the breaking of the boards that has its own name. 402 00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:55,399 Speaker 1: It is called temeshi wari. Yes, and that's when you 403 00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:57,760 Speaker 1: see people breaking bricks and boards and things like that. 404 00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:00,800 Speaker 1: It's a demonstration of force. But Bruce Lee is doing 405 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:04,560 Speaker 1: there is he's following through. He's not looking at that board. 406 00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:08,760 Speaker 1: He is imagining punching through to Utah, you know, like 407 00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:12,280 Speaker 1: at some point well beyond that board. Because humans have 408 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:15,520 Speaker 1: an instinct if you're gonna punch a wall, even if 409 00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:18,520 Speaker 1: you're super angry, you're gonna hesitate. You may not even 410 00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:21,399 Speaker 1: realize it right before you punch your fist into that 411 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:24,359 Speaker 1: brick wall out of anger you made even know it, 412 00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:29,000 Speaker 1: You're gonna be hesitation, hesitating because you have that hesitation instinct. Yeah, 413 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:32,959 Speaker 1: so it's called self preservation. Yeah, and katte basically trains 414 00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:37,480 Speaker 1: you to get past that and through breathing in and out. 415 00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:40,920 Speaker 1: Remember karate ki again, it's all about the breathing breathing out. 416 00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:44,960 Speaker 1: When you're releasing that punch and following through. You are 417 00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,520 Speaker 1: not punching that board. You were punching two ft beyond 418 00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:49,560 Speaker 1: that board. Yeah. The board just happens to being the 419 00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:52,720 Speaker 1: way and the board is sorry, it got in the west, right. 420 00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:56,639 Speaker 1: So that's offense. Basically, you're you're learning to focus your 421 00:23:56,720 --> 00:24:01,440 Speaker 1: energy um into punches and kicks, learning how to um 422 00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:05,240 Speaker 1: lower the surface area of the point of contact, and 423 00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 1: just basically becoming an explosive force of the universe. That's 424 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:14,359 Speaker 1: the first part. The second part is defense, learning to 425 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:17,879 Speaker 1: take your opponent's energy and use it against them. Yeah, 426 00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:20,920 Speaker 1: and this is a very important part of karate as well. Yeah, 427 00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:22,600 Speaker 1: and it also has to do with physics because we're 428 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:27,320 Speaker 1: talking about momentum, which is obviously a product of mass 429 00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:31,600 Speaker 1: and velocity, but also of direction. So, um, let's say 430 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:35,560 Speaker 1: you are a brick wall and your opponent's fist as 431 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:40,399 Speaker 1: a car. If they drive straight into you, it's gonna hurt. Uh. 432 00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:43,159 Speaker 1: Let's say you're a guide rail on a highway and 433 00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:46,560 Speaker 1: the car is driving down the highway and sideswipes you. 434 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:49,560 Speaker 1: It's gonna hurt a lot less less And that's the 435 00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:54,560 Speaker 1: whole basic premise of codat a defense is to try 436 00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:57,600 Speaker 1: and angle yourself to deflect as much of that blow 437 00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:01,000 Speaker 1: as possible at a different angle and take it straight on. 438 00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:04,240 Speaker 1: You want to deflect their the momentum of the force 439 00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:08,959 Speaker 1: of their punch or and apparently you use your arms. Um. 440 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:13,000 Speaker 1: I've seen people like use their legs to deflect blows, 441 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:14,959 Speaker 1: but this article makes it sound like you just use 442 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:18,320 Speaker 1: your arms and karate Daniel Son uses legs. Yeah, it 443 00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:20,560 Speaker 1: makes sense that you would use your legs. Yeah, because 444 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:24,959 Speaker 1: that was which one was the training thing was the legs. 445 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,880 Speaker 1: I don't know, was it the crane kick training? Now? 446 00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:33,639 Speaker 1: Because he had already uh had something. We'll see. He 447 00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:36,359 Speaker 1: waxed on, he waxed off, He washed the car, that 448 00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:39,440 Speaker 1: was the cars he painted up and down the windmill 449 00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:43,800 Speaker 1: on the refrigerator box, he sanded the floor. No, I 450 00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:45,760 Speaker 1: don't think he used kicks. He defended the kicks with 451 00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:47,720 Speaker 1: his hands. That's what I'm thinking. Okay, So then that's 452 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,760 Speaker 1: the premise of karate. Is like when you defend yourself 453 00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:54,960 Speaker 1: against blows, whether it's a kick or a punch. In defense, 454 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,600 Speaker 1: you're using your arms the whole time, and like we said, 455 00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:01,199 Speaker 1: you're you're deflecting it, so you're forcing this um, the 456 00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:04,600 Speaker 1: momentum of this punch off of yourself at an angle. 457 00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:07,440 Speaker 1: There's another thing you can do with momentum is when 458 00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:10,960 Speaker 1: you when you do deflect it. If somebody's going to 459 00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:13,760 Speaker 1: punch you in the chest and they put everything into it, 460 00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:16,240 Speaker 1: like they started this punch in their little toes and 461 00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:19,560 Speaker 1: now it's coming at you in their big broken middle 462 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:24,160 Speaker 1: finger knuckle school, and you managed to sidestep slightly and 463 00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:28,200 Speaker 1: and deflect the blow downward. They still have that momentum, 464 00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:31,080 Speaker 1: the product of their mass types of velocity, which is 465 00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:35,280 Speaker 1: speed and direction, and that direction is forward toward you. 466 00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:38,040 Speaker 1: You and your chest are not there any longer. So 467 00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:41,400 Speaker 1: this frequently results in your opponent losing his or her 468 00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:44,679 Speaker 1: balance and all of a sudden, what's opened up is 469 00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:48,240 Speaker 1: in karate circles known as an opportunity for you to 470 00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:52,240 Speaker 1: beat them badly. That's right, you can throw them, even 471 00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:54,520 Speaker 1: though they point out that that is more noted in 472 00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:59,600 Speaker 1: judo and aikido. Throwing isn't central in katte. But um, 473 00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:02,679 Speaker 1: I'm sure someone will throw someone if they need to, 474 00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:05,720 Speaker 1: like use their own momentum and pull them past and 475 00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:10,160 Speaker 1: then get the old solar plexus blow. Yeah. You also 476 00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:13,520 Speaker 1: could um, Yeah, you can punch them as as if 477 00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:16,080 Speaker 1: if you don't throw them, there's all they're just open up. 478 00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:18,440 Speaker 1: You can pin them on the ground. Yeah, and then 479 00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:21,159 Speaker 1: punch them. Yeah. What you don't want to do is 480 00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:26,000 Speaker 1: um anything illegal. No, you don't do anything legal. And 481 00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:28,479 Speaker 1: your your stance while you're doing this. The reason you're 482 00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:31,600 Speaker 1: able to deflect these punches and kick so well, it's 483 00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:34,280 Speaker 1: because you're not standing there like a dumb frat boy 484 00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:38,960 Speaker 1: in a bar saying come on, man, bring it. Uh, 485 00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:42,320 Speaker 1: you're standing to the side saying come on, man, bring it. 486 00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,520 Speaker 1: And you're gonna have a smaller surface area for someone 487 00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:47,879 Speaker 1: to punch. And you've got that one leg in front 488 00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:49,600 Speaker 1: and the one leg behind. You've got your center of 489 00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:53,879 Speaker 1: gravity low and um, you're you're just you're ready for 490 00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:57,480 Speaker 1: all comers at that point to deflect all those blows. 491 00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:01,320 Speaker 1: And again, all that is about being open and paying 492 00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:05,520 Speaker 1: attention to your surroundings. Yeah, you're you're watching your opponent 493 00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:09,520 Speaker 1: and you're just looking for a chance to throw their 494 00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:13,040 Speaker 1: momentum or deflect the punch or a kick or what 495 00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:17,560 Speaker 1: have you. Um, and we'll talk about some of the ways, 496 00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:22,359 Speaker 1: because if a couple of karate experts um displayed their 497 00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:25,560 Speaker 1: full power skill, there would be two deag karate experts 498 00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:28,280 Speaker 1: or at least one so over the years, because karate 499 00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:31,879 Speaker 1: dough isn't about like killing other people, it's it's about 500 00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:33,960 Speaker 1: showing your skills, they've developed some ways to do that 501 00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:45,920 Speaker 1: and we'll talk about those right after this. So, Josh, 502 00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:50,120 Speaker 1: you mentioned, um, two dead karate masters. If they went 503 00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:54,400 Speaker 1: full bore at one another, Uh, there would be bloodshed 504 00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:56,560 Speaker 1: on the mat. And that's not what you're after. If 505 00:28:56,600 --> 00:29:01,400 Speaker 1: you're a student of karate, you to display your skill 506 00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:05,160 Speaker 1: in a way that shows that you're very skilled, but 507 00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:09,560 Speaker 1: not necessarily inflicting violence because it's not about violence. About 508 00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:11,520 Speaker 1: a lot of things for a lot of people, but 509 00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:16,480 Speaker 1: never is it just about like learning violence like learning 510 00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:18,480 Speaker 1: how to beat someone up really good. Yeah, And like 511 00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:20,520 Speaker 1: you said, it's a lot of different things to different people. 512 00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:25,000 Speaker 1: Like some people go there for exercise, building self confidence 513 00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:28,080 Speaker 1: or tuberculosis and to help your health and your breathing. 514 00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:33,720 Speaker 1: Apparently doesn't work for tuberculosis though, you know. Yeah, um, 515 00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:37,760 Speaker 1: but I'll bet he had tons of confidence, you know, 516 00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:41,760 Speaker 1: sometimes just learning some self defense, maybe feeling feeling good 517 00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:46,400 Speaker 1: about walking through a dark alley at night alone, because 518 00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:48,880 Speaker 1: the point is not beating up your opponent, but knowing 519 00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:52,520 Speaker 1: or making it apparent to other people that they don't 520 00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:54,200 Speaker 1: want to mess with you in the first place, because 521 00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:57,800 Speaker 1: if they did, then it's trouble for them. And you 522 00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:02,720 Speaker 1: do that or you advance to different cues through um, 523 00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:06,360 Speaker 1: different types of demonstrations. Basically yeah, well, first though, it's 524 00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:10,640 Speaker 1: not to say that you can't like do some serious damage. 525 00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:14,719 Speaker 1: It's just not the main purpose. Like the famous uh 526 00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:19,160 Speaker 1: eken he saw to the one punch kill is the 527 00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:22,480 Speaker 1: thing in karate is yeah, and some people say like 528 00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:25,520 Speaker 1: it's impossible, and some people say it is possible, an 529 00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:27,560 Speaker 1: others say it's not even a real thing. It's just 530 00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:32,360 Speaker 1: like a statement of attitude. One fist certain death and 531 00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:34,560 Speaker 1: it's just sort of the mindset you should have, Like 532 00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:37,160 Speaker 1: with this fist, I could kill you, but I'm not 533 00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:39,680 Speaker 1: going to. But I'm not gonna be I'm a nice guy, right, 534 00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:42,240 Speaker 1: And I'm in a shopping center between a lot smith 535 00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:46,920 Speaker 1: and a tax preparation center in the valley in California. 536 00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:49,080 Speaker 1: But I could kill them both if I wanted to. 537 00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:52,560 Speaker 1: They even said shopping centers in this article, which I 538 00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:54,800 Speaker 1: thought was funny because it seems like they are always 539 00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:58,240 Speaker 1: in a shopping center. I don't see very many like freestanding. 540 00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:03,560 Speaker 1: Joe's all right, So you mentioned the the there's different 541 00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:06,400 Speaker 1: ways to measure your skill and to flaunt your skill. 542 00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:11,480 Speaker 1: Want to combat such simulation called a kata, and that 543 00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:18,120 Speaker 1: is where, um, you're basically fighting uh ghost attackers that 544 00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:23,320 Speaker 1: don't exist. Yeah, Like anytime you see somebody going hayah 545 00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:26,240 Speaker 1: and they're just doing it by themselves, that's kata. And 546 00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:31,480 Speaker 1: the whole thing is um like a prescribed rigamarole of 547 00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:36,040 Speaker 1: moves any way, and that's that's kata. That's something you 548 00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:38,480 Speaker 1: would have to perform to move on to another belt. 549 00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:41,640 Speaker 1: That's right. Uh. The next thing, if you actually want 550 00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:44,040 Speaker 1: to get a live person involved and not just look 551 00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:48,480 Speaker 1: like some crazy person fighting nobody. You could practice sparring 552 00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:52,000 Speaker 1: or kumata. And there are four levels of that. Um. 553 00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:55,600 Speaker 1: The first is footwork only, the second is shadow boxing, 554 00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:59,040 Speaker 1: the third is blocking contact only in the fourth is 555 00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:02,880 Speaker 1: light contact. And the idea is it's a very controlled, 556 00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:09,040 Speaker 1: supervised sparring session where you're not laying blows raining blows 557 00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:12,480 Speaker 1: upon one another, you're pulling your punches, you're stopping them, 558 00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:15,760 Speaker 1: or there's very light contact. You're probably wearing headgear like 559 00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:19,120 Speaker 1: some sort of protective gear. Yeah, and um, this is 560 00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:22,680 Speaker 1: typical of what like a karate tournament will have in it. 561 00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:29,120 Speaker 1: It's mostly commit or points sparring. Um. And if again 562 00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:32,200 Speaker 1: you've ever seen Karate Kid, you'll notice that those matches 563 00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:34,400 Speaker 1: are over pretty quick. Yeah, I mean this seems pretty 564 00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:36,840 Speaker 1: accurate for karate the Karate Kid movie. Did once I 565 00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:40,600 Speaker 1: read this right and vice versa. Yeah, um, but with 566 00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:45,000 Speaker 1: points sparring, usually you'll have one to three minute about 567 00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:48,320 Speaker 1: or fight, and whoever has the most points at the 568 00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:51,280 Speaker 1: end wins or if you score a certain number of 569 00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:56,360 Speaker 1: points typically three within a fight, you're you want that's right, 570 00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:58,440 Speaker 1: and the points are called epons I P P O 571 00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:04,720 Speaker 1: N s and um, Apparently I didn't realize this. The 572 00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:09,120 Speaker 1: points are awarded not just on the the strikes that 573 00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:12,000 Speaker 1: you're getting, but also the attitude in which you do 574 00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:15,080 Speaker 1: it in your technique, so they're sort of judging you 575 00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:18,280 Speaker 1: on an aesthetic level as well on a spiritual level. 576 00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:20,160 Speaker 1: I mean it makes sense, like if your opponent walks 577 00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:21,800 Speaker 1: into the back of your hand, you can get a 578 00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:25,920 Speaker 1: point for that, you know. And then chuck, there's um 579 00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:31,680 Speaker 1: the Temesha warri which we mentioned already, which is board breaking, 580 00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:38,440 Speaker 1: block breaking, um, which is the real deal. It's not 581 00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:44,080 Speaker 1: magic or illusion like this person is breaking through a board. Yeah. 582 00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:46,160 Speaker 1: I remember being a kid and people saying, like, you know, 583 00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:48,880 Speaker 1: those boards are weakened. It's not true. They just know 584 00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:52,840 Speaker 1: what they're doing. They know how to exploit the the 585 00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:55,520 Speaker 1: weakest parts of those boards. Maybe, but there, as the 586 00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:58,800 Speaker 1: article puts it, they turned their appendages into natural chisels. 587 00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:01,960 Speaker 1: And um, they find out where the board might be 588 00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:05,160 Speaker 1: weakest and they punch right through it, right through it, 589 00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:07,080 Speaker 1: or the ones that get me, or the with the 590 00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:10,799 Speaker 1: like the karate chopped through the bricks. Let's see how 591 00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:15,000 Speaker 1: they do that stuff physics. It's crazy. And then you 592 00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:19,840 Speaker 1: mentioned schools man Um. Yes, they are mostly in shopping centers, 593 00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:22,799 Speaker 1: but that doesn't mean they're not good. Yeah, well you're 594 00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:25,439 Speaker 1: in your mom's getting too taxes done next door while 595 00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:28,600 Speaker 1: you're in there learning things. And uh, if you want 596 00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:31,560 Speaker 1: to look for a school, there are If you're in 597 00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:33,239 Speaker 1: a big city, you're gonna have your choice of a 598 00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:37,319 Speaker 1: lot of different kinds um catering to a wide range 599 00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:39,960 Speaker 1: of students. If you're a little kid, you want to 600 00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:41,719 Speaker 1: send your you're an adult, you want to send your 601 00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:44,359 Speaker 1: little kid to one. There are lots of options, but 602 00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:47,680 Speaker 1: send your kid to one that caters to kids. Don't 603 00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:50,719 Speaker 1: take them to Cobra Kai no else they're gonna turn 604 00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:54,120 Speaker 1: out like Johnny. I actually found an article I can't 605 00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:56,880 Speaker 1: remember what was called, but it was about how to 606 00:34:56,960 --> 00:35:01,320 Speaker 1: tell if your martial arts group is toxic? Oh really yeah, 607 00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:04,400 Speaker 1: because the author um is there an opium den in 608 00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:08,320 Speaker 1: the back. It's probably one dead giveaway. But the author 609 00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:10,719 Speaker 1: was saying, like, especially if you're new to martial arts, 610 00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:13,120 Speaker 1: you may think, like, oh, you know the sense they's 611 00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:16,720 Speaker 1: supposed to be an abusive jerk who yells and screams 612 00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:19,239 Speaker 1: all the time, and it's a students and stuff like, no, 613 00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:23,239 Speaker 1: there's uh, there's it's supposed to be a normal, respectful, 614 00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:27,360 Speaker 1: calm environment. You know, it's not supposed to be like 615 00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:29,560 Speaker 1: run by a megalomaniac or something like that. So if 616 00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:31,480 Speaker 1: you have your kid and that kind of school, may 617 00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:32,880 Speaker 1: want to get them out and get them into a 618 00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:36,000 Speaker 1: different school. Yes, and what wisely as well, they suggest, 619 00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:38,200 Speaker 1: um that it all be very open to the parents 620 00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:40,840 Speaker 1: and they're not be any private rooms for your children 621 00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:45,440 Speaker 1: that are off limits. That's just good said. No matter 622 00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:48,360 Speaker 1: what kind of school you're taking to. If you're a lady, 623 00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:53,360 Speaker 1: you might want to, um find a dojo that maybe 624 00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:57,000 Speaker 1: has a lady instructor or maybe um. They they're just 625 00:35:57,560 --> 00:36:01,080 Speaker 1: respectful toward women in general. Like again, think it's if 626 00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:03,320 Speaker 1: you don't want your kids to go there, you probably 627 00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:06,399 Speaker 1: and because of some jerk megalomaniac, you probably wouldn't want 628 00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:09,239 Speaker 1: to go there as a lady either, Yeah, or if 629 00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:12,320 Speaker 1: there's like a jerk lady megalomaniac, Yeah, I'm sure they're 630 00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:14,239 Speaker 1: out there, right, there's got to be. I'm sure that 631 00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:20,040 Speaker 1: that guy had a wife in karate kid. Megalomania transcends gender. Um, 632 00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:22,759 Speaker 1: And then Chuck, we said that people go to take 633 00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:27,880 Speaker 1: karate to UM to gain self confidence and to understand 634 00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:31,120 Speaker 1: UM their body a little more. But a lot of 635 00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:33,280 Speaker 1: people find along the way, even if they're not going 636 00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:37,799 Speaker 1: for this UM, they find that they UH what's called 637 00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:41,440 Speaker 1: their center, the center of their key, spiritual center basically 638 00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:46,399 Speaker 1: and UM in in karate practice. Well, Karate is linked 639 00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:49,359 Speaker 1: to Zen Buddhism, and one of the points of Zen 640 00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:54,280 Speaker 1: Buddhism is that you can you can attain spiritual fulfillment 641 00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:59,799 Speaker 1: and enlightenment through everyday practices, including karate UM. And that 642 00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:03,280 Speaker 1: once you start to practice karate, once you start breathing, 643 00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:06,760 Speaker 1: once you start paying attention to your surroundings at all times, 644 00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:09,360 Speaker 1: when you just find yourself in tune and in focus, 645 00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:13,040 Speaker 1: you're going to find your key yeah also known as Q, 646 00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:17,520 Speaker 1: your spiritual energy. That the same thing and where it 647 00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:19,839 Speaker 1: sits in your body, and you'll be able to learn 648 00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:23,279 Speaker 1: to raise or lower it right your energy UM to 649 00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:28,840 Speaker 1: attack yeah and UH. If you're like you said, if 650 00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:32,160 Speaker 1: you're just going for you know, up through a certain 651 00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:34,520 Speaker 1: few levels, you may not hear much about that, but 652 00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:37,400 Speaker 1: it definitely comes into play at the higher levels. And 653 00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:39,600 Speaker 1: how fast you work up those ranks and get those 654 00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:41,560 Speaker 1: belts is sort of up to you. Like anything else. 655 00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:44,040 Speaker 1: If you go three or four days a week and 656 00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:48,000 Speaker 1: you're super dedicated, you might zoom up four belts in 657 00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:50,600 Speaker 1: the first few months. And I think from that point 658 00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:53,560 Speaker 1: things start to slow down a little bit. Uh. If 659 00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:55,320 Speaker 1: you don't put much into it, might take it a 660 00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:58,040 Speaker 1: little longer. But from what I've read, people to get 661 00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:00,320 Speaker 1: into it, like really get into it. Yeah. And in 662 00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:03,960 Speaker 1: this article says for the average person, getting to black belt, 663 00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:07,200 Speaker 1: um would take about three years. If you were super 664 00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:10,439 Speaker 1: athletic and talented and and went like five days a week, 665 00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:13,040 Speaker 1: it might take eighteen months. But it's still going to 666 00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:14,960 Speaker 1: be difficult and take you a little while. And it's 667 00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:18,480 Speaker 1: a life pursuit. Yeah, um for a lot of people. Yeah. 668 00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:22,160 Speaker 1: And and again this article points out getting to the 669 00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:26,520 Speaker 1: highest belt is not necessarily the pursuit of karate, Like 670 00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:29,360 Speaker 1: the point of karate. The pursuit of is to find 671 00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:33,200 Speaker 1: your center into feel self confident, and get whatever you 672 00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:37,000 Speaker 1: want out of it. Yeah, just understand the mechanics of it. Uh. 673 00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:39,600 Speaker 1: If you want to go to karate school to learn 674 00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:44,880 Speaker 1: how to throw Japanese throwing stars and kill someone with nunchucks, 675 00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:47,680 Speaker 1: you're probably out of luck. Um there, Maybe you may 676 00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:51,799 Speaker 1: can take like a nunchuck class or something, but um, 677 00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:54,759 Speaker 1: it's it's not a typical thing to use weapons uh 678 00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:57,839 Speaker 1: in the classes. Um. I actually saw that as one 679 00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:00,600 Speaker 1: of the points of a school to avoid. Really, if 680 00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:03,239 Speaker 1: they say they can teach you ninja ninja to or 681 00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:07,040 Speaker 1: make you a ninja, stay away. I remember taking ninja 682 00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:12,000 Speaker 1: can make training when I was a kid. Um. There 683 00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:16,080 Speaker 1: is a funny um nunchuck video on the internet. This 684 00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:19,960 Speaker 1: just look up Redneck nunchuck And there's this guy in 685 00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:22,799 Speaker 1: a living room and his I guess his mother is 686 00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:25,719 Speaker 1: shooting him and he's demonstrating and he hits himself in 687 00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:30,360 Speaker 1: the face and breaks his glasses, and his reaction as briceles. Afterwards, 688 00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:34,080 Speaker 1: he just gets really mad, really fast, and he starts 689 00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:35,880 Speaker 1: to stomp off, and you just hear the mom go like, 690 00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:40,600 Speaker 1: don't pitch a fair. It was really funny. Even though 691 00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:44,200 Speaker 1: I typically try to avoid anything that says fail yeah, 692 00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:46,400 Speaker 1: because those videos are just so dumb. It's like the 693 00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:48,839 Speaker 1: worst of the Internet. I just hate that word. But 694 00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:53,640 Speaker 1: Redneck nunchuck fail was pretty good. You got anything else? 695 00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:57,680 Speaker 1: I have nothing else, sir um did this make you 696 00:39:57,719 --> 00:39:59,960 Speaker 1: want to try this in anyway, it made me way 697 00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:03,960 Speaker 1: said stuff to taekwondo a little more. Yeah, um, minor 698 00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:07,280 Speaker 1: regret and that's about it. Yeah. No, I probably won't 699 00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:11,520 Speaker 1: pursue karate Yeah, me neither. Um, but hopefully there will 700 00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:13,560 Speaker 1: be somebody out there who is inspired to give it 701 00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:16,160 Speaker 1: a try because it is pretty awesome. Uh. If you 702 00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:18,440 Speaker 1: want to know more about karate a, you can type 703 00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:21,600 Speaker 1: that word k A r A T in the search 704 00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:24,040 Speaker 1: part how stuff works dot Com. I'll bring up this article. 705 00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:26,359 Speaker 1: Since I said search part, it's time for listener mail. 706 00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:32,919 Speaker 1: I'm gonna call this something about um police interrogation. Um. Hey, guys, 707 00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:34,160 Speaker 1: want to write in and let you know how much 708 00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:37,440 Speaker 1: I enjoy the podcast spoiler alert a bunch. Hopefully I 709 00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:40,480 Speaker 1: can also add something I'm currently studying to be apparent 710 00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:42,240 Speaker 1: legal and we spend a lot of time learning about 711 00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:46,000 Speaker 1: trial proceedings and what evidence is admissible in court. During 712 00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:48,880 Speaker 1: the episode and police interrogation, you mentioned the rates of 713 00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:52,040 Speaker 1: convictions that were based solely on confessions. Courts in my 714 00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:55,360 Speaker 1: state of Pennsylvania have to follow something called the nanti 715 00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:59,040 Speaker 1: glow rule. In a n T Y g l o 716 00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:03,200 Speaker 1: U of ladies wrestling. Yeah, that's what I thought too. Uh. 717 00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:06,080 Speaker 1: This rule states that motions for sary judgment cannot be 718 00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:10,160 Speaker 1: based solely on depositions, or more specifically, the confessions they're in. 719 00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:13,200 Speaker 1: So basically, if a party has confessed, their confession alone 720 00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:17,440 Speaker 1: isn't enough to convict them. The record, like other motives 721 00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:20,080 Speaker 1: or affidavits filed with the court, would need to contain 722 00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:22,839 Speaker 1: other evidence in order for the motion to be granted. Uh. 723 00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:26,759 Speaker 1: If anyone confessed after being interrogated, they might not be 724 00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:30,440 Speaker 1: completely doomed. If they're in Pennsylvania, motions for summary judgment 725 00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:33,760 Speaker 1: is a pre trial motion, so this rule wouldn't affect 726 00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:35,239 Speaker 1: the case that had already made it to a trial 727 00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:37,480 Speaker 1: with a jury. And I don't remember this is only 728 00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:39,400 Speaker 1: a rule in civil cases or if it applies to 729 00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:42,640 Speaker 1: criminal ones as well. I haven't heard of other states 730 00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:45,000 Speaker 1: having a similar rule. Every few years there will be 731 00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:49,080 Speaker 1: editorials about how nanti Glow is outdated. I know the 732 00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:52,239 Speaker 1: name is outdated, uh, and it needs to go. But 733 00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:54,360 Speaker 1: as of this email, there hasn't been a case to overturn, 734 00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:57,040 Speaker 1: so still binding anyway. Really enjoy it. I hope this 735 00:41:57,120 --> 00:42:00,000 Speaker 1: is informative. Uh. Stuff you Should Know is the perfect 736 00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:02,240 Speaker 1: thing to listen to while I'm knitting, and I always 737 00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:05,200 Speaker 1: look forward to a new episode that is from Haley. 738 00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:08,680 Speaker 1: Thanks Haley. We appreciate that. In Pennsylvania. Have you seen 739 00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:12,879 Speaker 1: the Glow the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling documentary? Now? It's 740 00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:17,319 Speaker 1: pretty good. Yeah. Is China in it? I don't think 741 00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:18,960 Speaker 1: she was in Glow? Was she? Oh? I don't know. 742 00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:21,759 Speaker 1: I just that's the only female restaurant thing going. No, no, no, no, 743 00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:24,200 Speaker 1: this is I think way before her time. Anyway, it's 744 00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:28,719 Speaker 1: a It's a good, good documentary, strongly recommended. I'll check 745 00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:31,200 Speaker 1: it out.
