Why do modern Karateka stand so low, while the old masters stood high? In this video, we analyse the 150-year evolution of Karate stances (dachi waza) from the natural, mobile postures of 19th-century Okinawa to the extreme athletic lunges of the modern Olympics.
We break down the four critical phases of this evolution:
1. The Okinawan Paradigm (1850s): Why masters like Motobu Choki used high stances for grappling (Tuidi) and civilian self-defence.
2. The Itosu Reforms (1900s): How Ankō Itosu lowered stances to build "bodies like iron" for military preparation.
3. The Gigo Funakoshi Revolution (1930s): The introduction of Kendo-influenced deep stances and the "straight rear leg" to generate linear power.
4. The JKA & WKF Era: How science and sport regulations optimised Karate for reach and aesthetics, often at the cost of joint health.
Are deep stances actually practical for fighting, or are they just for conditioning? Let’s look at the biomechanics.
