1. Unorthodox stance: people aren’t used to seeing the karate stance giving you an advantage 2. Mobility and agility: with a wide side stance you are much more mobile 3. Better for kicking: karate stance is just better for kicking, side stance allows you to throw faster kicks with less Telegraph from a further distance and you can safely recover from them better than a boxing stance. 4. Mastering your kicks: you kick more giving you experience with kicking in general. 5. Teaches you the outside game and when to fight inside. 6. Perfection of form for power and accuracy 7. Flexibility: karate focuses on kicking and being more acrobatic.

Being able to switch stances mid strikes is an ability I admire from Wonderboy. You always see this from him, he uses round house kicks or side kicks to switch, he is really creative & he is becoming a more ambidextrous fighter because of this. Typically for a righty: Side Kick uses Southpaw for example, but Roundhouse Kick uses orthodox.

[@SenseiSeth]

He’s insanely talented for sure!

[@charlescernoch7686]

I trained in Goju Ryu for over 10 years. After earning my black belt I began studying Brazilian Jiujitsu and Muay Thai. Eventually did a handful of semipro fights. My karate background always served me well as a base I could fall into, but also as a way to keep opponents guessing.

[@DannielleWoodward]

I agree!! As a karateka (Wado), I’ve noticed in my martial arts training that the variety of a karateka’s kicks, our distancing, the hip rotation in our strikes and our fast footwork/reactions gives us a MAJOR advantage against a lot of other martial art styles. They often take a more grounded stance and stronger approach, which often creates slower footwork (I see this in a lot of other martial arts that focus on ‘the stronger the punch/kick the better’) and this means it’s harder for them to evade our incoming fast attacks and it’s also hard for them throw their techniques as fast as us which gives us such an upper hand. It’s awesome really.

[@stupidfrog2205]

One of the big differences I have experienced in doing karate and other traditional martial arts (I come from a kickboxing background) is that theres a lot more weird kicks that make you a little bit more difficult to deal with. Kickboxing feels like a hammer where as Karate feels like a scalpel.... the problem is that that scalpel is made of glass most of the time because it isn't pressure tested enough. I'm definitely described as being "awkward" to spar with from my kickboxing buddies just because I lot of unusual kicks they really have to deal with. It's good to be unpredictable. Of course this is all my opinion and varies depending on schools and teaching styles.

I once sparred a guy who trained almost exclusively in Hawaiian Kempo and it's frustrating to do when you don't know what's going on.

5:47 it's interesting to see how style converges when it comes to comes to actual non conventionnal fighting. This stance is actually seen in Muay Boran, Traditionnal Karate and Bareknuckle Boxing. I agree with sensei Seth with the style advantage. Karate is an excellent tool and base if you learn another complementary striking style ( i e KickBoxing, Muay Thai or Boxing). You'll be able to constantly break pattern with a larger range of techniques and a better distance management. Boxing ( and kick boxing) is the art of sharpening a few weapon to the max of their power. Karate and other TMA is the art of working all your natural weapon and use it according to the situation. Another thing Karate fighters have the hability to throw strikes from the same side: for example 1, 2 and right HK while kickboxer use to work with both sides alternatively

[@tonyperez4713]

The end was amazing

[@shaynejr]

The beginning of this video sounds like what we focus on in TaeKwonDo. We love to use kicks, because our legs are the longest and strongest part of our body. The goal of self defense is to keep a distance away from your opponent. The reason we stop a sparring match after one kick to call points, is because that kick would likely finish and end the fight. For punches, at least at my school, we only call points if it's a solid punch, and not if that punch was only a touch.

[@RaderizDorret]

With regard to blitzing, I really like techniques like the Rolling Block to backfist sequence from Seuinchin kata to paw at my opponent's hands and guard and give them attacks to think about while setting up a heavier attack. It's something seen in several other styles with Wing Chun's chain punching or some boxers who will throw a rapid series of lighter punches and then unload with their heavy attack once they got the setup they're looking for.

[@SwordTune]

I would say punching is the wrestling of striking. Wrestling is the basis of all grappling. I don't mean that a specific style of wrestling (free, folk, greco, etc) influences all grappling. But in a broad and general sense, when you are grappling with someone you are doing some kind of wrestling at all times. And in striking, while kicks can be complicated and powerful fight enders, the core element of striking is using the hands. Kicks can be the jiujitsu of striking.

[@nikolaosmandamandiotis8970]

Ok man let's see where I agree with you and where i don't. Distance management : I can give this to karate because the distance management is very good , you can put multiple opponents in front of you and use some good footwork , Tae Kwon do has extreme distance management and boxing has close distance management ,muay Thai even closer striking distance management , so let's say karate gives a distance management between kicks and punches which is useful. Another good thing about karate is what you said about breaking the rhythm and sequence , this is really important for a real fighter you don't want to become predictable in a fight . Those 2 along that karate arts is a striking techniques library that has in it most of the different strikes no matter that those are unusable in fights . A karateka though must learn how to escape the bad habits of live karate training . Let me first say that Kudo is very close to MMA fighting and karatekas that fight in Kudo are legit fighters . First problem is the "no head punches " mentality that most karate arts have adopted , this creates a ton of bad habits for close distance which a boxer a kickboxer and a muay thai practitioner can take advantage of , after you close a specific distance karate start to become absolete , it's worse for Tae Kwon do but it's a problem . The other big problem kicks face is the injury problem, if you injure the hands the fight can continue with ease , if you hit the foot with an elbow or knee then the injured person will be a sitting duck unable to move and much much easier to throw . The other problem with using kicks is the fact that you impaire your balance by doing so. Using kicks in a fight is a high risk- high reward strategy , it depents on how good and talented you are at it ,it's up to you ofc to chose your fighting strategy .

uhmm.... Some things you say in the video make a lot of sense, others not. Be sure I love you, just a couple of notes: 1.Kyokushin...yeah, you get this cliche with the close distance punching right, this is a lot like "patterns" and we train a lot of "pressure combos", but what we also do are low kicks, KNEE STRIkES any height round kicks, axe-kicks and a lot of front kicks. Also "spinning back kicks" and "spinning hook kicks" (which are looking often more like "spinning crescent kicks" because they are "hatchet-like" . The funny thing about your Karate-Kicking-Style compared to Kyokuhin is actually, that you can not use the most traditional basic Karate techniques, Mae Geri (Front Kick) and Mae Hiza Geri (Front Knee Strike) from your stance effective. Does not mean your fighting style is "bad", but it comes from the pointfighting-development of Karate styles like Shotokan and in some ways Taekwondo, were sideward stances and "in and out"-movement are more common. But both Karate-stance-footwork-styles have own advantages. Just wanted to point out, that kyokushins have their own style of devastating knee strikes. 2. Learning only front and round kicks in Kickboxing? If you are reffering to "Dutch Kickboxing" you may be a bit right, because round kicks and front kicks are preffered. It is a fusion of Kyokushin, Muay Thai and Boxing, so you will see less side kicks because they do not work for most fighters with their boxing combos. But it really depends on the fighter, some also train and use side kicks. Other Kickboxing styles like "American Style" have a curriculum in which you need to learn side kicks and hook kicks, especialiy because the style has a choice of rulesets, from light contact pointfigting (where most score with side kicks and hook kicks because of the range) to continous semi- to fullcontact (where most fighters score more with boxing front and round kicks).

Reminds of boxing" the art of hitting, without being hit"

I hope you mention that many karate styles have good grappling too... Sweeps and throws used as setups forns strike on the ground sre common to many karate styles, like jka and wkf tournaments, or many styles that come from kyokushin but still have the point style throws in them, the sabaki challenge is an example! And some of them sctually hsve even submissions, like kudo tournaments snd irikumi go... That is the advantage karate has over every striking art that doesnt grapple too

I love your videos, but would like to see Kung Fu (Northern Kung Fu or Southern). Your comparisons are Karate, Muay Thai, Kick Boxing, and TKD. Not WUSHU, big difference. Ive done all three (TKD, Karate, and since 1996 migrated to Kung Fu.

[@SenseiSeth]

Would be fun!

[@TheNEOverse]

I think if you were to translate northern kung fu stuff into proper fighting, it would look much like karate point fighting, or just kickboxing.

[@jimmytran315]

Yay... at least someone is not talking smack about Karate this time!

[@SenseiSeth]

Ayee

You are a strong Karate warior and a very nice actor.

Lyoto machida did in fact come from shotokan, but shotokan is not a style that really spars much. Its very much a traditional Japanese kata, bunkai, kihon, and some kumite for the sake of doing something physical. The fact that he made his karate into a style of mma is more because he's lyoto fuckin machida. He could kick ass with jazzercise

Holding someone's shirt while kicking their legs is a part of Judo.

yeah haha

I've never trained karate but this video makes me think my kickboxing style has the mindset for it. I trained dutch and I usually use a lead leg kick mixed with punches and rarely kick with my rear leg. And if I need a breather I'll actually post my lead foot on my partners shin or knee. It sounds weird but I made a whole system around it. But in the end I'm more of a grappler

[@SenseiSeth]

Sounds like a pretty dope system!

[@dvldgz6306]

@@SenseiSeth it's cool until it isnt but obviously skilled guys can pick holes in it. Mayday for me means I only do boxing because I trained that a lot.

[@SenseiSeth]

True that!

[@ParisLawLess]

This is a great video I love you I do feel the only thing you might not have thought about as it in advantage having a karate or a Taekwondo background is you put a lot of emphasis on flexibility and not so many Dutch kickboxers or muay thai fighters spend a lot of time working on flexibility

This is the idea in Jeet Kune Do. Use your closest and longest weapon, the leg, against your opponents closest target, their leg, or body if you can get it.

[@burningknuckle26]

i like how karate guys can do very close headkicks

Kime is actually to relax during the entire technique then to use full body tension at the moment of impact. It doesn't have anything to do with pulling really
