I agree if you have weak legs &/or overdo it. Moderation is the key, even if you are very strong. This is the key along with commonsense. After 31 years of karate, I have found that works well. I have a very serious old injury which I really have had to work around. In my late teens 20 years ago the hospital told me "you have to stop karate". Of course I'm still going... Moderation, listening to the body and commonsense are the keys! Things aren't so simple! Kindest regards, Andre

Hiii evwrithing

[@andrebertel]

@ryvoltz Teisho-zuki or shotei-ate depending on your kaiha or ryuha. This is an orthodox karate-waza. However, some Shotokan schools neglect such techniques in general training due to too much emphasis on competition techniques. We must practice tsukiwaza (punching techniques) with a variety of karada no buki (weapons of the body) such as teisho, ippon-kne, nakadaka ippon-ken, hiraken, shihon nukite, koko etc. All the best!

[@55Chimeras]

Great video! His moves are very good, a true karateka. Respect!

[@alexandre-ei7dg]

you keeped the ancient very hard training men it s fantastic! shotokan leg the real! thanks men!

[@didiervidry7687]

Encore une très belle vidéo technique et physique. Grand !

[@MetalJassim]

Actually, I fully agree. I'm 40 now, I was like that when I was 20, and today I pay the price for being foolish... from what I see in his videos, Andre is superb in what he's doing, but it is mandatory to think about safety as well.

[@andrebertel]

Thanks for the videos Oliver. Osu, Andre

[@DragonKarateka]

[@olliwaa]

Some tosspot marked Andre's comment as spam today . I repost it for him: "Next stop England, then back to New Zealand, after that South Africa and Japan... I am supposed to squeeze in India in December of this year, but that seems impossible. I'd love to go to Germany again due to my wonderful experiences thanks to Oliver and Yan, and all their karateka friends there. OSU!"

[@andrebertel]

Sure, hopefully the middle of next year. Osu, Andre

herr bertel seit andy hug ist uns was klar sie sind unsere Zukunft

[@engela2]

wow very strong!

[@ryvoltz]

@andrebertel I've just watched the second video and you got me very, very curious about one thing. I am a purple belt in Shotokan Karate and I've never seen anybody using the palms to attack like you did - except when you thrust your palms towards the opponent's chest. What is this technique? And what is it based on? Thank your for the attention, already. Osu!

[@deadmike2]

nice when will you be back in germany?

[@mohitshah728]

Is it computerised? Very fast kicking!

[@shotokar4211]

Of course I can also see that Bertel has good physical qualities. However, I cannot follow the enthusiasm of many people who think that they confuse this with actual effectiveness in a real fight. Would Bertel know how to do these things against a well trained fighter in Thaibox or MMA? Or can he only do them with pupils who (between fear and respect) do not really attack?

[@williamwest7008]

Nobody is going to attack an instructor demonstrating how to do techniques. Do you even know what a demonstration is? Would you go to an MMA gym or a BJJ class and attack the instructor demonstrating a takedown or armbar? No you wouldn't and yet you wouldn't doubt it's effectiveness. You only doubt the effectiveness here because it's traditional Karate and not Muay Thai, BJJ or MMA. lastly Karate against MMA would be unfair just as BJJ, or any other art would be. MMA is multiple arts, Karate is one.

[@briankeiththomas15]

Good question? Now, why don't YOU run up on Bertel Sensei and test his effectiveness personally? Let us minions know how that works out for you.

[@shotokar4211]

@@briankeiththomas15 No problem, I am a professional MMA fighter. Would you be ready to bet 10,000 Euros against me?

[@shotokar4211]

@@williamwest7008 The BJJ and also the MMA has already proven its effectiveness numerous times against all sorts of opponents and not only in training or in Seminars. Exactly contrary to this, Bertell in these seminars shows ONLY certain of his athletic qualities without ever having really fought. If you do not see the difference between these 2 things I recommend a good Ophthalmologist (I know very well what I am saying, since I am 6 Dan of Karate Shotokan and I am a direct student of Sensei H. Shirai, great legend of Traditional Karate. He is also an MMA Instructor and I know what I am saying here too).

This guy is famous for slapping his students around...

[@cesarmontera2247]

That's how he become good in what he do in karate, bec he also gone into that kind of training with his Japanese Master.

[@zebbanister2348]

JGS Music did you ever think that this is what he enjoys doing? The students can leave no one is holding them there against their will SHEESH...

[@nakayonghae9429]

It's a martial art as in fighting, you don't learn to fight without getting hit

[@johnblair2939]

this is absolutely unwatchable because of the music. where is there any need for bloody music on a karate video of any kind.
