All you need to do is neutralize a competent Bjj black belt with neck jabs, and you'll be golden.
Im ok with that and in time i will look to collect some material for us while ill prove my claim/point. Again i must reiterate the concept of what you would interpret as neck jabs about what i did in reality. Not only the boxe or karate sole punch. In my drill i prefered and used a wide array of fingers and fore knucle strikes such as ippon ken, hira ken and my nukites at the throat when i got mounted.
Those are some of the karate very usefull cantrips (wich other MAs styles lacks or denies) that can serve even the beginners and neophytes in a more realistic SD scenario and that most people simple deny coz are not being presented on the mainstream and not presented usually in most karate classes and in most of their core training. Thats the whole point of my said "claim". Not the purpose of being a millionaire ofc and to bash a specific grappling art wich btw i respect. I wasnt thinking of that when i joined here to participate on this very thread. And also im not creating nothing out of the dust. Those moves were always there. Hidden / Forgotten - maybe coz they represent in part warfare ways of being authentic ''no rules'' and its the kind of stuff not much marketable nowadays. You cant put that in a show. Think of that.
I was studying some material about that subject when i entered on that forum to check what was going on with shotokan as SD around the world. And as i was reading this extensive thread during the weeks ive found that would be of a great help (for me and for others) to spread some words of what i find thats ideal and applicacle in real SD scenarios concerning what i have did and seen using some shotokan techs and also to share with others experiences aswell. Wich IMO im founding to be an ok discussion and sharing. Specialy if it have potential to help others and to bring more light uppon the said subject.
Shotokan and other forms of karate for SD its highly underestimated and IMO theres no one to blame by that. If the majority of students, instructors and most associations aim for the sports and physicalty conditioning i would just let them alone, and if i train with them sometimes i keep only whats good for me, the rest of what doesnt interest me i wont be focusing on my own training. Like i told in before the quest must be personnal. The ideal training that few people are searching doesnt end in the dojo. Theres really a LOT of gap that we have to fill by yourselves if we wanna apply what we developed IRL scenarios. Ofc competent instructors always help but theres a limit for that help extent, some of the times we must have to go deeper and seek in other directions by ourselves applying the lot of things we are seeing for our own particular world and limits.
Sorry for the walls of text. Im really trying to be more objective to express myself but i think most people are missing a lot of things. Common sense and mainstream can bug people out sometimes. Im not special and not above anyone, just wanna share and spread some words and maybe others can use as shortcuts in their personal quests. Always take only wich will serve your own reality. There are a lot of MA styles with their masters and paths out there but the end/objective of being effective in SD will be the same for most. Follow the path or paths that will serve you better, we already as human beings have solids foundations regarding SD and MAs. Keep practicing and adapting for yourself and in time you start to walk your own path about what to be the ideal.
Im replying Hanzou here but for the first moment i dont wanna expect nothing of him, i even doesnt know him, his limits or what will be ideal for his own reality. But here are my words so everyone can see and take their own conclusions about what will be ideal on their particular cases. Like shotonoob already stated also, there are really a lot of gap for us to fill with about what those foundational masters are telling us to do. Those sometimes tend to be very generic in some of their principles (recap M Funakoshi). For me thats implied that we just have to figure out by ourselves coz they know everyone as individuals are commonly different worlds. Thats why some principles seems so vague in general. Sometimes its intrincate sometimes seems to be unachievable but its very simple and right behind our noses.
