with so short legs he looks like a disney badass character...

Do you have a workout fitness routine for coming back from hip replacement? I’m 63 but want to get back to it!

Not really

It’s very interesting that one of my Sensei, who was trained on several different disciplines of martial arts including karate, teaches blocking exactly the same way you do, with an open hand, while the other, who is a traditional karate-ka, teaches blocking with a closed fist.

It’s from heian sandan. Another application is if someone grabs you from behind you can punch them in the face.

Terrific insights! Thanks a lot for sharing!!

why ur black belt is white

The problem with karate blocks is the distance you work at and the fact you are linear. Any closer, you have to parry and slip like boxers do. it's what works and karate needs to evolve, Kudo did.

Have you ever thought of learning a martial art that works out of the box, without having to daydream 'creative' stupid shit to patch it and make it at least somehow work? And are you not afraid that this 'creative' stuff you create can make you or somebody else suffer injury or death in real situation, because, let us face it, you pulled it out of your ass?

As usual an excellent video..Very useful for my own training. Thank you

Very thoroughly and clearly explained - great video. Thank you.

Do you have any videos or plan to do any that look at the bunkai of various katas? For example, looking at some of the heian/pinan katas.

Another tip would be to do your karate practice homework, at HOME. Learn, and tweak your techniques (corrections, by your Sensei/Sempai of your personally practiced training), and learn concepts in the Dojo- But do 80% of your karate training and practice OUTSIDE of the Dojo. You won't excel very much at all if you only train 2-3x a week. Thank you for the tips!

Great insights! Thanks for sharing!!

a block is sometimes also an attack! for example uchi uke its not a silly block its also a armlever, etc

Excellent, concise breakdown of "receiving techniques". Thank you for sharing such important distinctions, such as these in your video, so that, at the very least, potential (or even current) students of Karate can see the true applications of various techniques throughout the curriculum. Well done, Sir.

That’s the way Benny the jet used to throw his spin back kick that devastated opponents throughout his career

Thanks 🙏🏾

Good work, but instead of using the block element as control, use it to counter hit. Also consider applying the blocks from clinch. Standing grappling is half the art. Great work.

That was helpful. Thank you. Very clear moves.

Nah he didn’t speed it up he’s been training for so long he has developed very fast and powerful kicks and you can even tell This is not speed up he is actually this fast keep up the great work I just subscribe I came across your channel

I train shorin ryu and in this style it is obvious that we cross our arms when blocking.

Thanks for taking on directly this frequently misunderstood aspect of karate training. Keep up the great content!

The Hikité is often forgotten with these techniques, as it clearly shows that you are pulling the hand of the opponent at the same time (written black on white in Funakoshi's first book; I don't know why this is basically forgotten knowledge nowadays); which makes all blocks actually destroying techniques towards vital points around the elbow or around the neck (pull with Hikité, strike with the other hand) Obviously not ment for competition, as these techniques are too dangerous, and thus you kinda see those shortcuts you show in the video when doing competition as an "explanation". For me just hacks of the original techniques. Karaté was never ment for competition. Karaté is deadly.

But i saw what naka sensei application different from you

Good video. I practice shotokan and always wonder how effective it would be in the real world. What dan are you now sensei?

A block is a lock as a blow is a throw. With creativity we can make anything work for something 🥋

Thank you so much!!! Keep it up ❤

Hi Sensei John, can you please confirm what type of gi you use and the Oz? It looks really crisp and sounds fantastic! I’d really like to purchase one as my current Japanese cut 14oz gi restricts my kicks

This is what Shotokan karate should be, keep showing them that this stile is as beautiful and powerful as any other, mad respect 🥋

Las Katas, siempre serán relevantes. Hay mucho en las katas. Desde el punto de vista técnico que es buscar perfeccionar la técnica. La mejor forma de hacer todo incluyendo tus actividades diarias en tu vida personal. Con las Katas prácticas tu fuerza de voluntad. Físicamente prácticas la coordinación, el equilibrio, tu kime y tu sanshin, en la Kata encontrarás avilidad mental y mejorar tu memoria, también alimenta tu mente y tu espíritu. La aplicación de las técnicas de la Kata en un combate real. Es por ésto que practicar las katas también dejarán un acervo para próximas generaciones. Es siempre importante seguir haciendo las Katas. Gracias por mostrarnos como hacés tu Kata. Arigato 🙏

Yes, with front foot remaining straight, standing leg hip drives power forward like gyakuzuki. Rotating the front foot is not the way to extend range; instead, front foot straight plus tobi komi.

Im 56 years old and I still train

What is your current Bodyweight Sensei?

Thank you for this small but effective detail. I think I missed that point in class. 😁👍

Muy buena técnica. La condición física que muestra, también porque hace ejercicios con pesas. Esa musculatura no es nadamás por hacer flexiones y ligas. Exelente preparación física y se ve la dedicación. Deje de entrenar por qué tuve un accidente y quedé con una lesión permanente. Pero al ver estos vídeos me inspira a regresar a entrenar. Muchas gracias por haberme enseñado. Arigato.

Es una buena técnica golpeando con el empeine. Hay una técnica que es más contundente y es pegando con la bola del pie.

THIS IS SHOTOKAN!!! I've been 5th Dan for pasy 63 years, l am 84, and in very good shape. I am 2 months older than Chuck Norris!!!

Shintei

Man where are yall located

There is no miracle. The key is the flexibility work. One has to be flexible for the martial art involving kicking. Mobility comes AFtER flexibility.
