This is one of the important and beautiful contributions of sport-karate to the wider karate genre. Traditional karate should be paying attention here and learning from sport karate (and vice versa). As the front knee triggers into a collapse, in addition to focusing on the weight shift towards the heel of the front foot, you could also mention the simultaneous weight-push by the balls/toes of the back foot. In other words, just like all techniques in karate, the trigger-collapse movement should be a full-body movement where the back leg & foot are equally engaged, as well as your breathing, hips, and core. Thanks for these videos.

I can’t help but imagine how much further along I would be in my martial arts journey if I had teachers like you. Also, using that remote instead of a fidget spinner was a perfect choice. Everything made so much sense instantly

[@paddingtonbear5172]

One of the first things Shihan taught me . A must to develop power . Great video mate . Cheers from Australia .

[@Docinaplane]

If I'm following you correctly, one instructor of mine called it stepping through the knee. He would hold a bo at top of head level and we had to go forward underneath without hitting the bo. I definitely use this in sparring.

[@shirothewolf369]

thank you very much for that sweet way of explaining that drop haha it made my day

[@SenseiNatePlaysPool]

I’m liking this series. I just wish you went into more detail about what’s happening from the floor and center. I get it though- as a fellow body mechanics nerd, I want to focus on the parts that are moving, but we don’t hear enough about the structure and kinetic linkage that provides that movement it’s efficiency.

[@سيدسيد-ص3م4ب]

Cool work sir thank you very much 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@Angelusdragneel]

Just found this video, Definitely going on to binge watch all this guys stuff!

[@GorgoReptilicus]

Ah! You've illustrated this and described this beautifully. I've a recent back injury and as I recover, I'm looking for ways to stretch and strengthen my body again. Stumbling across your series inspires me to get back into this. I appreciate your time on these videos.

[@CJ-uf6xl]

Thank you so much!

[@JoeAuerbach]

Seems like this would be handy in any sport that changes direction (basketball, soccer, etc on top of fighting arts)

[@waynesdojang]

Very interesting difference in application of body weight and movement fromTKD. It is not something we practice in TKD although there are some forms of ready stance where we apply the body drop. This is something we practice in the military though, as a way of hitting the ground as fast a possible. Last man standing dies when you are under contact. Basically we drop our knees behind and from under ourselves to fall vertically flat to the ground. It doesn’t hurt as much with gear on as it does simply falling forward to the ground and can be done on the run.

[@ronski50]

Nice detailed explanation!

[@spanishlarc31]

Excellent find! I am most grateful, thank you very much for sharing this very important piece of information. I practice kung fu and I've recently gotten the idea that "le hace falta karate a mi kung fu" or, my kung fu is wanting some karate. Where Karate is like a deeper study of a smaller set of movements.

[@Samperor]

OHHHH. This is what you taught me in class!! =)

[@KarateDojowaKu]

YES!!!

[@maryfuentes7277]

Awesome 👍👍👍👍👍

[@Froge4291]

He Yusuke. One question: have you ever tried the sport of fencing and how sparring in both of these sports can overlap (like fencing principles that can be applied to kumite and vice versa)and how a karateka can benefit from it?

[@KarateDojowaKu]

No not yet!

[@waynesdojang]

That would be interesting to see.

[@jastermareel9641]

TKD practitioner for 46 years. In today's Tae Kwon Do, there is no knee/body drop. In old TKD, there is; it is very Shotokan like.

[@danielmilord2908]

Really helpful video! Is the same principel moving foward in back stance? I have tried don't lift my heel from the floor when I'm moving foward in back stance, however I'm still having strugles with that

[@jalwardo]

For students to get this idea and not shift the front foot back when stepping in front stance we would have them try lifting the toes of the front foot to plant the heel.

[@moviebokkor115]

What is your opinion about chakra s do you ever practice chakra awakening meditation

[@gumaritoturruviates]

👏 this is deep 😯

[@Thehildalmao]

Before i training this skill i want to training my muscles 💪 First 🤣🤣👍🏼

[@yassirabusineina5526]

Thanks a lot Sensei! A quick question please! How do you do the salute at the end of a training session? I'm the oldest student & stand first in line.the Shihan looks at me to salute! What do I have to do or say? Masubi dachi! Shihan rei??? Is that right? Thanks

[@spencerorde8090]

Great information Yusuke. What is your favorite way to move into an opponent in Kumite? Striding forward, stepping in, stepping into opposite stance or pulling the back leg up and stepping in?

[@KarateDojowaKu]

I like to use feints to only go in when they cannot react. So I think I focus more on the footwork to set an attack, not the footwork to actually go in.

[@spencerorde8090]

@@KarateDojowaKu Our school has a term that I can't quite find or understand as of yet: mikanzuki sensei says it refers to a pull back punch, as if you were to grab someone's collar and pull them into a face punch.

[@alvinstjohn8363]

How important is muscle mass and strength for improving overall power?

[@andersjohansson6458]

How do you translate this to a fighting stance, when the foot isnt pointing forwards?

[@eddie854]

When are you starting Cobra Kai? I keep checking back for it lol

[@FandomCanon]

I think this is one of the areas where Western boxing mixed with traditional karate and resulted in a weaker technique. Staying on the balls of the feet in boxing is good because the goals and techniques of a boxing match are completely different than what a karate-ka is practicing for. I just tried this weight on the heel technique, and yes, it feels much better than pulling the heel up. When the heel comes up and the weight shifts to the ball of the foot, I feeling like I need to bend my knee even farther forward to spring into the next stance. But by digging my heel in, I can quickly pull myself forward. This makes sense. Having the heels connected to the ground is good for stability. That's where the phrase, "digging your heels in" come from after all, right?

[@jiokl7g9t6]

JKA doesn't drop; the step is driven by the 'rotation' of the hip ie throwing the rear hip straight forward. As the centre of mass the hips throw the whole body mass forward, the rear foot merely adjusts to stay under the mass until it reaches the forward foot at which point the front foot adds momentum to the hip movement by pushing off.

[@STANKONIA24]

Itadori's knee release got me to this video. He applied it using the Manji Geri on Mahito. But he applied the drop to his hips and shoulders too.

[@lilymoy6024]

Nice punching bag!

Please react to kimetsu no yaiba demon slayer

[@madspetersen1708]

That way of moving foot and knee like a fidget spinner is soooo NO GO in kyukoshin karate

[@AddaOrion]

He's teaching shotokan.

[@madspetersen1708]

@@AddaOrion I know, but it was like his idea was universal.

Fidget spinner???? Anyone??
