FIGHT Like Goku! | Goku Day 2023

[@riversedgekickboxing694]

I love that your outro is Real Folk Blues, I've legitimately asked my family to play that song at my funeral if I pass. "See you, Space Cowboy"

[@metrolinamartialarts]

I thinks it's such a good tune

[@lady_draguliana784]

Goku Influenced me in 2 ways: Hit-Move-Hit, and hijacking any tech's his opponents use that he likes (esp. if they worked on him, and otherwise mesh with his style)

[@metrolinamartialarts]

He definitely is good at hit-move-hit

[@FreestyleMartialArtist]

Todays workout: we’re gonna head home, pick up the manga and read it for 24 reps

[@metrolinamartialarts]

Nice lol

[@christophervelez1561]

I love these videos. Keep martial arts nerdy haha.

[@metrolinamartialarts]

Haha absolutely!

[@krioni86sa]

To be honest, I don't want to fight like Goku. Because Goku tends to relax and play around his opponent. I want to fight like Vegeta.

[@SFLaughingGiant]

Canonically krillin is the strongest human on earth so I'd take some lessons from ol baldy

[@metrolinamartialarts]

@@AG-ur1lj Freiza is an interesting choice!

[@metrolinamartialarts]

@@SFLaughingGiant Krillin would have some good stuff to teach that's for sure.

[@metrolinamartialarts]

I, too, wanna fight like Vegeta.

[@SFLaughingGiant]

@@metrolinamartialarts I'm not saying that'd make a good video at all 🤷🏾‍♂️🤔

[@lady_draguliana784]

I learned to fight because I was often being attacked at or around school, and I'm too damn big to run anywhere fast, instead, I suggest mobility training: rapidly close and open the distance to your target for in-and-out, hit-and-run attacks: essential skills for fighting larger opponents, armed assailants, and groups. Controlling Distance/range is ESSENTIAL and mobility is a vital part of that.

[@lady_draguliana784]

Here's an exercise my sensei had me do to increase my mobility (i'm 6' 260# and not lean with it) take a thumbtack, cut the pin short, tape it to your heel for a time. increase this time until you can walk (and train, no sparring) ceaselessly without letting your heel touch the ground. the next step is to learn when to strategically plant your heel for power, but float your heel for mobility all the rest of the time. 👍 EDIT: the goal here is to float your heel, you should be able to slip a piece of paper under it, but you're not trying to tippy-toe around. this engages, or 'pre-loads' your Achilles and calves to give you more spring on your push-off.

[@TheNinjaEveryDay]

Cool video man and Happy Go-Ku Day!

[@metrolinamartialarts]

Thanks brother! Was fun to make.

[@MarkoObradovich]

Fun spar bro 👊

[@metrolinamartialarts]

Thanks much!!

[@ComicusFreemanius]

The urge to run only comes at 3am for me. I've been doing a lot of hook and round kick combo drills, putting only the kicking foot down, jumping off the same leg as you kick with like a 540 but pivot-180-switch-180 because of analyzing the Williams/Bushido Brown style. You wouldn't happen to know what that flying guillotine take down thing is, would ye?

[@metrolinamartialarts]

Haha I'm not sure I do

[@magvs_mæstro216]

Happy Goku day, sensei!!

[@metrolinamartialarts]

Happy Goku Day!!

[@cjsher90]

Yes yes yes!!!!!

[@metrolinamartialarts]

🤜💥🤛

[@hiitznotnice5918]

Please teach me how to fight like street fighter game chung li please..... And chung li workout please Do these I shall be motivated and never back down

[@pangopod2969]

I prefer sprinting to running.

[@metrolinamartialarts]

I prefer neither 🤣

[@pangopod2969]

@@metrolinamartialarts Maybe find a route with a lot a variety. Do some parkour while running, do kongs over some obstacles, run huphill and downhill, run in stairs, add some safety rolls, jumps and dives. Climb a small wall and then sprint. It could get rid of the boredom of just going forward.

[@Lokesvararaja]

Where is the Kamehameha?

[@SFLaughingGiant]

I think this is the power ranking in DBZ for just earth and who'd I'd want as a sensei/trainer. This list will be from strongest to weakest and this is also just my opinion feel free to add your own or correct me. 1- Goku. 2- Vegeta. 3- Piccolo. 4- Krillin. (Not stronger than the bottom two but he's more experienced and he's stronger than all humans on earth so that helps.😂) 5- Gohan. 6- Goten. 7-10 (Every other half saiyan from earth.) 98- Tien. 99- Chiotzu i think thats how that spelled. N/A- Yamcha.

[@metrolinamartialarts]

I'd switch 1 for 2 - because I'd feel he'd be a better teacher

[@SFLaughingGiant]

@@metrolinamartialarts yeah I can see that it'd be like if icymike trained you x20😂 but honestly I'd feel like Goku would beat on you till you somehow get better vs Vegeta's slightly condescending but helpful physical and verbal teaching

[@riversedgekickboxing694]

You're sleeping on Master Roshi dude. None of what Goku accomplished would have been possible without the OG Coach.

[@SFLaughingGiant]

@@riversedgekickboxing694 ah you're right how could I forget the dude that trained both krillin and Goku and he could still hold his own against most people

[@maddinkn]

Goku day is a thing now! Nice Can't wait to see what you come up with. So we need a Rock Lee day aswell don't we? The 6. Would it be... I can barely count to 10 in japanese

[@metrolinamartialarts]

That would be!! June something... maybe 2nd? Ni is close to Lee? Lol

[@maddinkn]

@@metrolinamartialarts make it so. ❤️

[@metrolinamartialarts]

@@maddinkn I'll do my best! Short notice(ish) but love the idea

[@maddinkn]

@@metrolinamartialarts hey on my way back from work I thought: "how about 26. September?" Now you have more time and it is in fall... which doesn't sound bad in my head. Rock Lee's techniques and falling leaves go together, right? But ni-jû-roku may sound wrong...

[@BMO_Creative]

I don't think running would help for sparring endurance. For sparring endurance, just spar more. You workin out more? you have bigger shoulders and traps!

[@Tan12]

It won't cause as direct an effect as fighting-specific workouts, but building a strong aerobic base through regular low-intensity steady state cardio (whether running or otherwise) will lead to improved endurance across all activities.

[@metrolinamartialarts]

Yeah, but running is good for baseline so I need that to improve overall.

[@metrolinamartialarts]

@@Tan12 yeah exactly!

[@BMO_Creative]

@@metrolinamartialarts Hey man, i love runnin! I run at least 3 miles a day... I'm fit over 50 baby!! LOL

[@Dave-lx3vt]

I haven't been watching your videos for very long (sorry about that), but yeah, cardio is essential. I hate to run, but I do it.

[@danlewis7707]

You must enter the time chamber and train under 10 x gravity until you face your demon! On the day of monsoon he will come and be bright green with antennae and a giant head and have a pickle joke name. I have spoken.🥷😁
