A least one foot should stay on the floor

Great, now GET YOUR HANDS UP WHILE YOU KICK!!!!!!!

Is how the Spanish and Japanese world champs train, resistance bands all the way. More fun... ive seen the coach do.., tie it against the training parner for reaction exercises.

Also a great defensive if u find yourself on the floor

Hi, Sensei MA Dione (SKIAF) told me in 1989 that Uke doesn't mean to block something. He said it's more receiving or reacting on an attack. He said that this wide movements in Kihon are only for Training. Add on he told me to interpretate the Uke more as a short range attack. Greetings from Germany

That Looks Very challenging & hard work John..but i can see it strengthening the whole body..its very Clever,i havnt seen this done before..❤😂🎉😊❤..Greetings from Australia..

Hey man, how do you deal with knee pain

Sadly so many people don't know both hands should work together ON the opponent. Just this simple thing changes everything.

Thankyou for that tip ...Love it ❤

Damn, kinda like traditional.

Great vid! Always nice with bodyweight workouts. Been thinking of switching the gym to Kettlebells and Calisthenics, alongside martial arts. Mainly due to a busy life. Got any thoughts?

Other than martial arts, I've been looking to use Kettlebells as my main workout, mainly because I can do it from home. Not quite the same as some exercises in the gym though. Busy life.

A side kick can be deadly that after kicking once...the leg is held up cocked and foot is not put down ready to strike... if the opponent comes forward.

Mawashi geri ...properly executed

Thanks 👍

Sir as a competitive martial artist how should I weight training so I can't get out of my category because of muscle gain?

Don't use slow poorly executed high kicks in a real fight.

but, why??

Does this mean i can become a turkey? :D

I can't believe john gardiner was the bay Harbor getupper

🥋👍

I know lots of people recommend this exercise but I don't get it... It seems overcomplicated unnecessary...

Dumbbell punches can be good for shoulder endurance but yeah will do f all to improve punching power/speed 😂

First lets goooo

What’s up JG you absolute legend. I got told to punch with weights when training in Japan, but a special kind called sachi or something similar. The weight was like a handle with a 3kg block above the knuckle. We did lines of basic tsuki, standing tsuki and other variations. From what I understood the weight was partly for endurance, and partly to help fully extend the tsuki as soon as it’s been thrown from the hip. It was also to help stretch the tendons of the arm on impact which sounds gnarly. A lot of this can be achieved way more safely with a resistance band 🫡 Love the channel, keep it up!

Absolutely agree. I saw a video recently of a Japanese master practicing punches with a light dumbbell in his hand and thought that isn't much use. Then up pops your video to confirm it!

Another good thing that I've started doing lately is cables machine in the gym, fixated right behind my shoulder, it's very similar to bands but with adjustable weight

That's why "original" karate, in Okinawa before introduction to Japan, didn't have high kicks (never above waist). Being a close range combat system for self defence. They appeared only in sports karate, mainly from French savate.

That’s awesome gave two variations of the same movement great advice

Man I wish I had a set up to use a resistance band to practice punches. But I'll use the dumbbells I have punching upward but only my 5lb one

What is the real reason for not recommending to.use dumbell in punching horizontal ?

Love your videos brother

Awesome stuff! Do you have any advice for kumite training? Like things we can do I'm our resistance training to improve speed and strength?

Tong Soo Do its called a quarter kick. Last kick was a round kick.

Nat's facial expressions are KILLING ME lmao

I wonder if people kick with those bands too.... Anyway this is very helpful! I just got a weight and now I know how to use it better :)

Blitz?

Henri Plee advised this, it really works ;0)

Thank you, just ordered bands

Excellent 👌 advice thanks 🤩

Dumbell punches should be slower and controlled to work stability. Bands are awesome.

Yes! Just like Jason Stillwell ( Kurt McKinne) training montage in No Retreat No Surrender!

Sir how to do weight training while be in my weight class of martial arts?

Thanks for the advice coach, appreciate 👍🏼 ❤

Great advice, resistance is better for the joints snd technique.

I still believe dumbell punches are good for early beginners. They tend to aim below head level (this forces them to put effort in which height they aim at) and often need some shoulder conditionning.

How to use resistance band for kicks speed and power or weights on legs?
