Lol There’s always a lame guy like u in every comment section 😂

[@c.a.p.5388]

Very nice content again - i love how you come directly to the point always add context at the end

[@Annq_001]

Thanks, I had grading today and the instructors seemed pretty happy!

[@yogbert]

Nice combinations again! Thanks for the video 👍

[@JoseFernandez-mt1se]

Great combinations! They are fast and effective. thanks Sensei Gardinier.

[@winge-dogjones2492]

This is really good Karate. I will definitely try these techs at my club. Simple fast and effective.

[@jeffscott6514]

Superb technical karate by a brilliant practitioner.

[@lancecahill5486]

Great combinations. Sometimes I throw a jab (or maybe a couple) then a Soto Mikazuki Geri, which my opponent would not expect as the distance between us is quite short for a kick, followed by an Oizuki. The first two moves are just diversions. Since the Soto (or Uchi) Mikazuki Geri is rarely used in kumite, this tactic works pretty well for me.

[@pedrosilvestre6322]

Good technique sir..

[@user-nx6mo4qc6i]

Thanks for your place u take for teach us❤❤

[@user-me6ov3ms2w]

I personally really like, glove grab with the rear hand, step forward a bit and then gyaku zuki

[@mundodalutaoficial7855]

🇧🇷 muito bom. Excelentes tecnicas para kumite

[@salvatorecampanile6696]

Well done. Great combinations. The best for me is number 3. Left maegeri and right gyaku zuki. It always works because is simplest to apply in kumite.

[@jkgardiner]

Simple is most often best.

[@Dariet88]

greetings to Nathaniel!

[@nikosstamoulis8714]

Very good!! Oss

Blessings over blessing ❤🇷🇼

[@nndaystar]

Oh hell yeah, dem cocky blue belts are goin down now!

[@Docinaplane]

Do you have any videos on defensive footwork to avoid attacks. Thank you!

[@jkgardiner]

I can make one 👍

[@Docinaplane]

@@jkgardiner Thank you! Being short, defensive footwork is a big part of my game. I find many people don't understand how moving forward at 45-degree angles right or left can avoid the opponents attack and put you in position to attack them from the angle you created.

[@Gladiator.Trading]

1 at 0:30 2 at 1:30 and I already do 3

[@MartialArtsGamer]

Brilliant stuff John. Very helpful! Osu!

[@jkgardiner]

Which one is your favourite?

[@marcoleccese1524]

First and second... Maybe I prefer the second for the ashi barai... But i have a question for the second combo... I always struggle at doing an ashi barai, since i'm southpaw and not very "heavy" or strong... do you have any tips... Maybe my problem is about the timing... dunno... Cool Video and keep up the good work!!!

[@jkgardiner]

@marcoleccese1524 in this case it's about transitioning the weight back and pulling them off balance, it is also timing dependant, if they have too much weight on the front leg it may not be possible.

[@marcoleccese1524]

@@jkgardiner Thanks!!! I'll try it in my next sparring session... OSU!!!

[@ljubisaspasojevic1066]

The third combunation would be more eficiant if you use ashi mae geri. It is more faster.

[@jkgardiner]

The kick coming from the back leg covers the distance, you could use the front leg from closer range yes.

[@Taeraprincess]

Superb🎉

[@blazingdragon9607]

Wait.. aren't you Nat Hearn's sensei?

[@jkgardiner]

Yes

[@blazingdragon9607]

@@jkgardiner That's great, you must be proud of him💪

[@LeinonenHannu]

Other person could continue his technique - slow to show the compination. It looks silly when he just keeps his arm stiff in front of him.

[@jkgardiner]

Of course, its just a demo, the principles within the movements are what build a habitual response. These need to be drilled at a faster pace and in a variety of situations. These are things I've used.

[@LeinonenHannu]

@@jkgardiner I do understand it is a demo. It just looks silly.

[@jkgardiner]

@LeinonenHannu fair enough. Yes he would in the next step of the drill snap the punch back as he would in reality

[@LeinonenHannu]

@@jkgardiner And next step might be learning to read various reactions like you did with maegeri. With maegeri you schooled him to antisipate …a reaction. Different players have different reactions naturally. You just need to read them and use them. I like your stuff.

[@Beckx123]

It doesn't look silly at all from an experience point of view,keep up the good work brother respect from africa

[@abhinavsubramanian6440]

That mawashi was super fast

[@user-vy5ez3ic1b]

Beautiful. Please now try another approach. First combo starts with oye mavashi , which is very fast and powerfull as you do that. Now ask yourself, what is the most often reaction of your opponents to that? They usually step back. Only the most agressive and fast fighters would stay put using uke to defend and probably delivering counter punch simultaneously. As soon as all others step back that turns really problematic to reach them with the following punch. To get more chanses with your punch try another version - after geri instead of simple oye dzuki try cynchronous stance change stepping forward delivering oye dzuki by the other hand. After some drills you will be able to do that as fast as your own combo, your bonus will be 2-3 additional feet while developing your attack (works really good). In the third combo if you apply the same thing after your geri as proposed above you will feel much difference in your favour. Just try to see effect.

[@martinstower3278]

Shotokan made practical? I like what I am seeing.

[@renatozievoli9026]

good combinations to consider
