[@NYKgjl10]

Honestly, I would like to see more contents like this for karate warm up. These stretches warm ups I feel are super vital to work on parts of our bodies that we don't often see people do and this video is showing the goods. I will try them for sure. Thank you Sensei Gardiner.

[@Phillyboy7]

Yeah I second this! vital movements and hip opening exercises aimed towards martial artists. Stuff we can't learn from the average fitness vid. Awesome vid mate 💪

Oss, mobility exercise for karate good information,

[@cad3nce]

I've just discovered your channel and finding it really useful. Great tutorials.

[@jonyork999]

Thank you!

[@maartenr4766]

Awesome content! I really like the variety of your video's including these mobility video's, but also your fitness video's to complement Karate! Not sure if it belongs here, but I am curious on your view on nutrition to support karate and fitness. Maybe one of those " what do I eat in a day-video's ". Anyway thanks for posting your insights! :)

[@jkgardiner]

Thank you, definitely could do that, it's all tied together karate, fitness, nutrition. I'm thinking of a video on how to manage all of the training together I might include the nutrition on that 🤔

[@mountainwarrior108]

That was a great demonstration & explanation definitely will give this one a go 🤜🤛

[@JoseFernandez-gi7cv]

Fantastic exercises and very challenging. I’m going to start slowly and lower halfway at first. I hope that’s okay. Thank You Sensei Gardinier! 🥋

[@johnreidy2804]

No you can't lower half way....sorry

[@crescentinfo3233]

[@pedrosilvestre6322]

Thank you very much sir idol master..

[@JN-hg5wn]

Fanttastic. Will absolutely do this 🙏 Thanks a lot Sensei! OSU!!

[@jkgardiner]

Let me know how it goes 👍

[@JN-hg5wn]

@@jkgardiner Thanks will do Sir 🙂🙏 Have to put on some weight also. Always been so thin -190 cm and under 70kg. Had problems with my health and what I can eat and not. Tried weight training thru the years, and eat like a million supplements - Sick of it all! But since starting Karate - my longtime dream, I'm sure it will better, and that my health will finally came around, so I can put on some muscles etc. Have a Bodybuilder in the family, that did Shotokan years ago, and also have been in Bodybuilding contests, so I will get great help from him 🙌 Take care and thanks again 👑👌

[@danielharris3180]

It's that second exercise I can't do. My knees feel like they'll pop out the socket doing a half squat. And I can't get my heel anywhere near flat on the floor like yours, I'm way up on my toes. So frustrating because I've been working on it for 12 weeks and no closer. Knees of a 70 year old and I'm 30.

3 MOBILITY EXERCISES FOR KARATE

[@zadenabi]

Love the advice dude! Can you do a video, or if you have one already send the link, of the Japanese terms used in Karate? When to use them, so on and so forth?

[@jkgardiner]

Thank you, that's a good idea, I'll try to put one together soon

[@zadenabi]

@@jkgardiner Sweet! Looking forward to it!

[@5555905]

This should be good for me too. Thanks.

[@jkgardiner]

Let me know how it goes 👍

[@5555905]

@@jkgardinerFirst time trying, I have feelings that it is very good for arms and legs stretching. And also very good for a light leg day training.

[@jkgardiner]

@5555905 it's a good warm up for leg day as well

[@shadowolverine]

Could you please post more exercises to improve high kicks?

[@SmileFreestyle-hx2rc]

+ add in a little yin yoga and you'll be agile when you're 80

[@setavnaderi3810]

👍

[@cj-rb8fz]

👌🏻👌🏻

[@InfoFusionHub30]

How many reps and sets...?

[@jkgardiner]

1 set would be enough in a warm up, you could do 5-10 repetitions of each, depending on how it feels to you, if you feel tighter, you could do a few more. you don't want to be reaching a point anywhere near failure with these.

[@paulthomas281]

Do you do Yoga, Hatha or Ashtanga?

[@jkgardiner]

No, I've taken inspiration from yoga in some of my warm ups though
