I appreciate the comment. Thanks for watching

Each variation I gradually increase hit force until they say enough.

Thanks for your support

You can definitely get more power that way but this is more to demonstrate the difference in striking surface and chambered vs unchambered leg. There are other footwork variations that may not be as powerful but still very effective leaving the opponent more vulnerable. Thanks for watching

The pop up doesn’t really matter. Yanking someone forward is what matters. When you pull someone forward in a fight, or down, the natural instinct is to gain distance or to use a take down. A. He steps back This leads to the guy getting his legs sweeper. B. He tries to perform a takedown This leaves his neck open and you can try to put him in a chokehold. -- I have very limited knowledge on fighting, and this is just my best guesses. Anyone feel free to correct me.

Depending on how hard you pull them forward they may not pop up immediately but in most cases if you push/ pull someone off base they will need to correct it before doing anything else. If he falls forward or attempts to shoot you will have enough distance at this range to react to either defend the shot and/ or look for a front headlock. You can also create this same movement and hit the foot sweep by pushing your opponent but this is not common against a trained person.

Thank you

Thank you for the comment. Keep up the training , the journey never ends

It is possible to be quick and mobile from a Thai stance but it seems to be rare. I saw saenchai sparring 2-3 people at a time when I was training in Thailand. Granted it was sparring and not real fight but his dynamic speed changes and foot sweeps kept everyone from touching him until he let them. It was quite impressive and opened my mind to being able to use multiple styles of movement and footwork in any given situation. Thanks for the support

​@@JasonNishime I guess i'm kyokushin at heart. But i did study various of kickboxing styles since i'm wanna be kickboxing nerd, i think i'm mid with my Muay Thai. Not as Dynamic/good as Seanchai he got this lean back on point/one-handstand kick/tricks. I don't know I wish I could test it out. like I done TKD/Western kickboxing/ Muay Thai with Muay Boran it's was strange they didn't bother to tell me. if was Muy Mat. i did leth wei and Khmer kun/Viet kickboxing/Yaw yaw/Sanda. Last year I updated my MMA skill I learned Machida footwork. I guess if kept switching all the style stances I learnt. i could use in a 3 vs 1 situation would work idk. But thanks I'm search video you mention tho.

@@hotpopcorncake keep in mind if we’re talking strictly self defense I’m not picking a particular stance. Whatever gets you home alive is the one you need.

@@JasonNishime Oh ok Thanks

My primary style is shorin ryu, but I’ve also crossed trained with Muay Thai for 8 years and did some kickboxing. I’m also very open to training with other karate styles and have had the chance to work with kyokushin fighters and other full contact folks out there. Thanks for the support

@@JasonNishime Oh cool, I guess my feed lead your channel since I been very curious how Shorin Karate works. Becuase when I was in Kyokushin I notice They didn't go into detail in Bunkai. I talked to my Senpai , He said its self-explanatory the Katas that I learn. He said i look like i was smart enough to understand it. But Sometimes i have this obesion watching the Old TMA Karate videos on KZbin. Looking for small details that i miss.

@@hotpopcorncake there are a lot interpretations of bunkai and kata. My father trained in Okinawa before being sent the United States to take over a dojo. He has been researching technique for as long as I can remember and one of the things he always stressed was finding a way to make the technique work for you. I plan to do some video on this topic at some point.

The first and last are both considered traditional karate kicks. Depending on the school or style they may use both. The ball of the foot is probably the most traditional way while the top of the foot is used more in sport applications ( both point and full contact) Thanks for the comment

That’s a great combination to keep you well rounded. I love the carryover from one art to the other. Keep it up Thanks for the comment

That’s sick

I do Okinawan kenpo karate it’s legit and also boxing and jiujitsu and weightlifting since middle school

Hahahahahahaha hahahaha

You sound pretty foolish and incredibly judgmental - maybe you should read more of your bible and try to be more accepting. But being an amateur boxer and school athlete you’re obviously a tough guy already, I’m sure there’s nothing left for you to learn.

This amateur boxer must know a lot!! This instructor Jason is actually benefiting from not having you as a student to be that disgraceful and judgmental that you cant accept learning something from a very decorated martial artist. Sounds like you have a lot of growing up and understanding of what actual self defense could do for you. There’s a chance maybe one day you’ll be in a situation where a man is sitting on top of you trying to harm you and maybe this comment that you left will be ringing through your head. Carry on with your senseless trolling.

😂😂😂 I’ve heard that a few times

Which promotion ? Looking forward to seeing it

@@JasonNishime just Google it, mate

Beautiful. Perfectly timed with no telegraph right to the sweet spot. Thanks for the recommendation

Thanks for your support. I’m glad you enjoyed the video

I’m thinking about making a few videos

Not officially but we have full contact matches in traditional Okinawan karate. Mainly just enjoy martial arts and how they overlap. Thanks for the support

@@JasonNishime after all kyokushin is Goju Ryu inspired. You're learning from the true source. good job

Great question. I’ll give 2 general answers. 1st this is mainly meant for self defense applications in which I would not want to go to the ground. 1 vs 1 ground control all day but I’ve been in enough situations where it turns into multiple attackers out of seemingly nowhere. In this sense he could potentially step around but I would be able to utilize striking to slow him down if necessary. 2nd in a purely grappling context this wouldn’t be the best way to control someone as there isn’t much leading to a finish. For example if I were competing I would use the arm drag to secure back position and look for the takedown. This would hopefully prevent that situation all together. If you watch the full video the goal is to show how grappling technique can be applied in the context of karate. This is just a short clip that I found useful for people making that transition and some things to avoid. If you’d like more bjj specific content I’m open to ideas as the channel is still new. Let me know if there’s something you’d like me to cover and I’ll do my best to answer any questions you might have Thanks for supporting the channel

Appreciate the support

Thank you

Love the idea and will definitely do that in the future

Thanks for the support. Every style has some holes that need to be filled and cross training helps to cover all bases. Keep up the training, the journey never ends

Thank you for the support. If there’s anything you would like to see please let me know

Thank you for your support

This is actually considered correct in most traditional karate competitions including full contact.

Unsafe practice

Low kicks are great

That’s awesome. Karate gets a bad rap in the grappling world but there are definitely some carry over skills that help both arts. Thanks for supporting the channel

We’ve done some with padded Bo. There are competitions that utilize this method but it becomes like any other sport where the objective is to score points vs real combat applications. It is still better than nothing. It will teach you to utilize footwork, timing and distance management which are all things that can’t be trained solo

It drives me crazy hearing people call it that as well. Appreciate the support

The shinai has some give but if you watch the first video in the series this was designed to show traditional kobudo isn’t just dancing with a stick and has real power. We scale up in power and let them decide when to stop. I have a video in the works that will demonstrate some of these techniques at full power

@@JasonNishime That’s all fine. But the way joints swing sideways doesn’t look healthy to me.

You’re correct but if they held the target in line with structure it would hit them. It’s safer to demonstrate a few hits this way than risk getting hit by the target or worse the Bo. We will have a better demonstration in the future that doesn’t compromise the joint of the person holding the target

@@JasonNishime Wel that would be a lot off entertainment hitting the target whilst in a frontal position^ Probably better to place the target in some device. And perhaps place some pressure gauge in there to measure the “damage” (yeah I’m a number’s guy)

if you know of an inexpensive gauge that can survive the impact let me know. I'm interested in that as well@@Florahitman

Appreciate the support. Definitely more kobudo content coming in the future

Thank you. I will definitely have more content coming soon

Not at all I still train and teach almost every day

@Username.6391 correct I still actively train karate and Brazilian jiujitsu daily. I also did Muay Thai and kickboxing for 8 years including some time training in Thailand. Thanks for watching

@Username.6391 appreciate it. Hope your training is going well

It does take a bit of timing to hit in real time. Kind of hard to talk through it and hit it the way I have rolling. It’s based on the common responses I’ve seen rolling. Thanks for watching and if you have a better set up I’m happy to see it

One of my former trainers was a big fan of the Dutch style low kick as well. Appreciate the support

I do dutch style kickboxing and it's very much like a MT kick, we arc and swing in a chopping angle to that sweet spot above and to the side of the knee aiming for that nerve cluster and use the shin impact too. Absolutely kills even when holding kick shield

From my experience the kick itself isn't really different but the stance its thrown from is what gives its unique style.@@sorearm

@JasonNishime yes we do a similar step out on the supporting leg at an angle which aids the chopping in motion 🙏

Thank you. I look forward to sharing more of my experiences with everyone

Sorry it took some time to translate your comments. We have Thai pads as well. They do require some practice to hold properly. The people in the videos are not trained in striking and have no bias towards either. This was to demonstrate the difference in style of kicking. This is also why I only demonstrate a few and not at full power.

Thank you

No. thanks you! I been practicing on my BOB every since I saw this video! LOL

Thanks. I have one in mind but waiting on the weather as it’ll be safest outdoors

Totally agree. I’ve broken toes and my foot several times over the years catching elbows while kicking. A lot of people over look kicking with the ball of the foot or even toes for self defense. Assuming you’re wearing shoes.

A lot of people including me have stiff big toes that don't bend back as well as the other. You can live with it when you do a mae geri but mawashi is difficult. I'm envious of my wife who can bend them better, she can kick a hole in anything😆

It can be something you train to develop foot dexterity but your own physiology will have limitations @@stettan1

We’ve always just called it mawashi geri. The mechanics of the kick don’t really change much, just the striking surface. As far as a traditional kick goes I’m pretty sure the ball of the foot was used before the top of the foot as it’s a much stronger structure

I've heard it called "chusoku" mawashi geri- literally just "ball of foot roundhouse kick."

Thank you
