3 Kata BUNKAI To STOP MMA Takedowns! 💪

[@teresadrag3213]

I will watch a few more times focusing on the technical aspect .... because the first few times I was just smiling at “my two little brothers” and how well you both do at working together to explain things

[@KARATEbyJesse]

😜💪👍

[@sallywarner6023]

Love these practical applications to MMA offensive maneuvers! They make so much sense!

[@satrioekowicaksono7452]

This is better than many so called karate dojo out there. The meaning of kata is much important than the "correct" position of kata.

[@KARATEbyJesse]

Thank you! 👍 Form and function need to go hand in hand 😊

[@tustudyis4life51]

I really like he explains practical application of kata people told me they were just tradition and not all have application I think the purpose of them is becoming lost to some places I like he teaches that. It could just be my limited experience with 空手 as I'm very much a beginner to these arts and misconceptions defanantly effected my perception of these awesome & beautifull martial arts

[@StaticNoise79]

@@tustudyis4life51 Every move in all 26 of the traditional Kata has bunkai associated with it. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

[@borntoclimb7116]

True

[@alexhenke1979]

Looks like Karate (or To-De in former times) was the ultimate MMA back in the days but many kata were encrypted so much, that their meaning got lost in time. Therefore it is wonderful to see the brotherly dynamic duo Jesse and Oliver showing us the relevance of certain movements in Karate kata. Absolutely love it! PS: Found this channel just a few weeks ago and still catch up with all the great content! Well done!

[@safdarkh786]

Congratulations Oliver👍👍👍. Bellator has gained more attention nowadays.

[@MrLavajet]

Congrats Oliver! Not only are you Bellator, but you're a cool brother :) Jessie, love the videos and enthusiasm. We need more positive, non-douche bag martial artists like you. I've learned a lot, thank you and keep it up!

[@julienloze7292]

The explanation about how you should angle your opponent away from you (at around 5"17) is the application I think of everytime I practice the opening moves from Pinan Sandan. Congats Oliver on your entry in the Bellator, hope to see some of your fights soon ! Btw : thanks Jesse, your channel is one of the few YT channels that got me back into Karate :)

[@KARATEbyJesse]

Awesome!! Thanks, great to hear 😄👍

[@STUFF_-oy5zp]

I have studied the video quite a few times, and definitely see how the sprawl is more practical and logical to explain the movement especially in Kusanku. Most teachers and the bunkai show a duck for an attack with a staff. Thank you for the video. 👍🙌

[@robbaldwin2402]

Congratulations, Oliver - I hope you have a challenging career and continue to grow. The pair of you are such great examples of the spirit of martial arts applied for the benefit of the community.

[@mwrobinson1169]

Oliver's movements in this video are very polished and natural from the many repetitions in training. Very good!

[@unemployedmarioyamasaki1476]

Good luck in the big leagues Oliver 👍🏻

[@blockmasterscott]

I’m sorry to say this, but I never saw Oliver. All I saw was Jesse and Master Ken.

[@KARATEbyJesse]

😂😂😂

[@larrycope8034]

Congrats Oliver... also a great video. I practice traditional Kung fu, wing chun,seven star praying mantis, and yang tai chi, and I am taught what all the moves in the forms(or kata) are for. Every move has a purpose. It is always a pleasure watching your videos Jesse . It helps keeping traditional martial arts voice out there. I do get tired of hearing how TMA is outdated. It is not,you just have to find the right teacher . Keep up the great work..been a subscriber for well over a year now and just love your stuff.

[@KARATEbyJesse]

Fantastic to hear! Agree completely. 🌟

[@ryuutobi]

@ I blame those over the top wuxia movies/TV series for that. They're cancerous yet popular that some dojos/gyms started teaching students flashy moves instead of the more practical ones. Though what I hate the most is that they corrupted children's mind. Just imagine you teach in a dojo then a little student asks you "When will I be able to fly like in those movies?" In one hand, crushing the dream of an innocent kid makes you feel bad. But on the other hand, letting his imagination run wild is bad for the development of his martial skills.

[@philm6763]

Absolutely fantastic and valuable ideas, no hidden games, clear and crisp with a healthy friendly attitude ... as always !!!

[@KARATEbyJesse]

Thank you!

[@ivangardiol4436]

Congratulations Oliver and Jesse too!!! You're amazing. I think your work is the best thing I've seen in years. I practice Kyokushin, but I'm trying to find my own way!! Greetings and a big hugh from Uruguay.

[@squibster]

Thank you Jesse for these traditional okinawan takedown defences! Congratulations to Oliver on his move to Bellator!

[@maxprimemalick7972]

Awesome congrats Oliver so happy for your whole family. You seem like such great humble martial artists .🔥❤💯

[@narutouzumaki0787]

I totally agree. And I intend to show you guys my badass ninja skills.

[@geraldaitken478]

"Hiding from Ninjas in tall grass". Good sense of humor, Jesse!

[@chrishansen9379]

Can you do more of these? I no longer practice but every karate or kung fu class I’ve attended over the years couldn’t explain the forms/kata so it’s fascinating to me seeing how they apply to real self defense.

[@zacharygreen1128]

I agree with the first two my only issue is number 3 in that your knee in the kata is in a differnt position than in a sprawl. It eoudl be cool to see you sir that kaya to defend the takedown. What I did notice was that his overhook the way I teach it is very similar to the wong block and could be a grat bankai in this case.

[@jackspratny99]

Congratulations Oliver! Thanks as always Jesse!

[@bigal7843]

Good job, Oliver. I know that I will proudly cheer you on with your Bellator endeavors. As a Karate black belt and a fan of the sport, you make me proud!! Good luck.

[@tomdewyn5689]

Would love to see you do a video with Machida or Wonderboy

[@taekwondobro]

I'm happy to see you two understand the kata for what they are. Not just doing them blindly

[@zagorith14]

Congratulations Oliver, my brother. Hope you're enjoying Bellator and thanks for helping Jesse make these videos so informative and great.

[@kobayashimaruaikiken]

The third technique is obviously derived from the thrust of freedom.

[@PhDMario]

The thrust of freedom is actually used for mae geri, yoko keage and ushiro geri.

[@samiratilainen7390]

A little late, but congratulations! Jesse, thank you for application for practical techniques to show how to apply in "real fight". My seboumnim (Taekwondo teacher in Korean) doesn't show how to applying poomsae for practical self defense. And I'm doing some research myself.

[@SteveAChriscole]

Regarding the 3rd application shown in your video. You know, I've been trying to figure out a real life application for a move in Kanku dai (kushanku) where that drop to the floor occurs. Wow! Thanks so much. I would not have thought of that!

[@jasperdenney4997]

Congratulations Oliver and great video guys

[@striq7074]

It's really fascinating how much knowledge that has been embedded in traditional forms, that seems to have been lost or forgotten. With the way most people train forms today, much of it doesn't really make any sense. Thanks for sharing these insights! However, even if the techniques can be seen as being included in the forms, do you really think that it's useful to practice them in that format? Personally, I'm very sceptical. I think forms won't really help us apply the techniques-or even train them correctly. Either way, I find the subject very interesting. I made sort of a response video, if you'd like to check that out.

[@alisonbennett175]

Congrats Oliver, I love the fighting in Bellator!!

[@alafosca5724]

I'm glad for your brother! That's a huge step. I was thinking yesterday qhen I was training, that I am struggling to get better at "the form" of katas (faster, stronger, more relaxed specially, and flashy). And I think that I'm just getting tired of trying to master some movements that seem either unpractical and unnatural for the body, or simply a miss-use of the real technique behind a movement. What I mean is that we spent too much time in "perfecting" a kata just to make it more flashy rather than just to remember the techniques and use them for a better assimilation of the real combat applications.... And that, lately, has been bothering me quiet a lot

[@MarcoECDC]

Yes! I think one must distinguish what one is working on - am I working on the application, or the aesthetic component/s of a stylized form? Neither is intrinsically "wrong," it may be more a matter of what your particular intent at the moment may be. Eg, I can "speed" jab (looking perhaps to cut my opponent ['s zygomatic process ] ) or I can jab and "hold" (delay) it for a split second, occluding his line of sight ("blinding or obscuring jab") - which of these would be "incorrect?" ;-) Osu!

[@martialmusicman]

Awesome video as usual, and I hope to see some great fights from Oliver in Bellator!

[@oleksiyraiu7190]
