Prepare to take one of the most comprehensive and detailed analyses of the throwing techniques described by Gichin Funakoshi within the pages of KARATE-DO KYOHAN. Often called the “lost throws” due to their diminishing widespread practice throughout the subsequent generations of karate students, these throwing techniques described in the 1920s and 30s by Funakoshi serve as a clear historical reference that knowledge and application of Nage Waza or throwing techniques has always been an important aspect of Karate if you are to study the art fully and completely.
In over 8 HOURS of instructional material study we will delve into the Ten throwing techniques presented by Funakoshi in Karate-do Kyohan, Ryukyu Kempo Karate and Rentan Goshin Tode Jutsu and dozens of variations and methodologies. The series includes:
- The TEN THROWS of Funakoshi including BYOBU DAOSHI, KUBI WA, GYAKU TSUCHI, NODO OSAE and many more.
- A PRINCIPLE BASED ANALYSIS to each technique enabling a deep technical understanding of each technique enabling you to integrate them into your practice.
- Analysis of the MECHANICAL PRINCIPLES underpinning each throw to equip you to enhance all of the throwing methods within your arsenal.
- Analysis of the TACTICAL & STRATEGIC PRINCIPLES which will equip you to overcome the primary lines of resistance from your opponent and consistently apply the techniques in high percentage methods of execution.
- Exploration of DOZENS OF VARIATIONS, including gripping and control opponents, various atemi and variations on leg position.
- Important tangential principles to support the systematic implementation of techniques including SHIMEWAZA (Chokes and Strangles) and counters to likely responses from your opponent.
- A detailed HISTORICAL ANALYSIS of the throws and evaluation of the execution of throws within Karate.
Never before has so much detail been committed to film exploring these techniques and now its fully available for you to not simply imitate the throwing techniques of Funakoshi but MASTER THEM and breathe new life into their study and practice.

"I've always been a bit dubious about learning via online material however the way in which this instructional has been presented and the in-depth analysis provides the student with the necessary fundamentals to confidently begin to incorporate Funakoshi's "lost" Throws into their own practise irrespective of their experience, style or martial art."
