I love your videos guys!!! I'm just a blue belt but many of your advises and explanation helped me to improve myself in combat. Still I have MUCH MUCH to learn!!!!

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

ShArKo Awesome! We are always learning 😁

[@jaypeve]

Your mind is like water, when it’s disturbed and agitated things get blurry and difficult to see, but when it’s calm and settled everything becomes clear, transparent, better reflection and easier to see

[@nytrodralyg5268]

Aaron you really should do a collab with Jesse Enkamp, the Karate Nerd about Bunkai and traditional martial arts form application

[@isaacyeon6334]

Nytro Dralyg YES

[@rtyler1869]

Agree

[@joaoluistavares6046]

This gives a better view of how to apply these block techniques. I also need to practice more.

[@danielskrivan6921]

Part 3 should be about how to properly block kicks. I get into this argument all the time in forums that the down block is useless because a kick is stronger than your arm. But in my experience: 1) With a front kick, you're not blocking in the direction of power, so it's very easy to knock it off kilter. 2) With a roundhouse kick, you don't block the foot, you block the thigh, and so you're not catching the kick at it's most powerful spot.

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

Daniel Skrivan Thank you for your suggestions and input 👍🏻😁

[@brawlaction8798]

I personally wouldn’t low block a kick. If someone punches me low, like in the hips or something than I will low block. But for a kick I would do a Muay Thai leg check.

[@omicron5128]

Another thing is do not block spinning kicks.

[@danielskrivan6921]

@@brawlaction8798 I don't block the foot or the shin, I aim for the thigh.

[@brawlaction8798]

Daniel Skrivan the way I see it the low block is not for kicks but it’s met for low punches like to the hips or groin

Ever considered of making a video on how to make martial art knifehand strike work in modern stance?

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

Hungry Britishshorthair Maybe in the future 👍🏻😁

[@rtyler1869]

These are great videos. Take what is seen as complex movements and really breaks them down to their simple real world use. Small efficient movements to receive the attack and count effectively.

[@jaypeve]

Two Taekwondo practitioners(Samery and Donavan) went to an open karate tournament, it was interesting, if it possible would you go see a karate competition and compare similarities and differences from karate tournament and Taekwondo(WTF, ITF, or ATA)competition

[@jaypeve]

I recently saw a video from Donavan Barrett I think it pretty good on why some black belts sometimes loose motivation, have you experienced a student reaching black belt and start to loose motivation, why do you think that happens, how would you help that person, what do they have to look forward to after they get their black belt

[@mikel-castillo]

Good way to block and counterattack with a fist, in a simple and forceful way, I would like to know what you think of the wing chun and how efficient it is, greetings to the two teachers and for the entire KZbin video audience

I love the way it's GNT's video but Carl is using him as a demonstration! 🤣👍

[@feralmode]

Love your channel. Love what you're doing. Can I suggest, as a professional photographer, that you consider making an investment in some decent cinematic LED lights to light your videos? I think it will make your videos look 10 times better. Please keep doing what you do. I really appreciate your videos and your amazing content.

[@tempurtv228]

Good job guys. Hope you'll cover about the lower block too in the upcoming videos. Your loyal fan 🙏

[@blokeman9151]

What about a demonstration showing traditional blocks while sparring against a boxer or Muay Thai exponent.

[@Vscustomprinting]

Why not save those for the mauy thai channels, eh?

You see them in fights all the time but modified like we are explaining 👍🏻😁

[@danielskrivan6921]

0:43 what's stopping you from using an outward block at that point to block the second punch?

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

Daniel Skrivan he’s over committed to the inward so it would be too slow when I throw left right as a combination 👍🏻

@@GingerNinjaTrickster I guess it's hard to tell when we're doing stop-motion drills.

[@khizarzulfi8517]

Hi #gnt sir! I want to ask you how can I increase power and strength in my legs because whenever I do a kick or flip, I can't make a higher jump like in backflip, I can't jump higher to do the flip completely and because of this I landed wrong and got pain in my knee and had to rest for a week. Any suggestions? ❤

[@maxzhao8331]

Just a honest question, I hope you reply :) Why do you say "tshhh" every time you punch or kick? just a question :)

max zhao late as fuck but if u haven’t figured it out by now it’s because of explosive breathing:)

Strange thing is in my class one guy he is now red belt and he's the fastest out of ALL of us even faster than our instructor who has 23 years experience in ITF. But when I spar against him I can't hit him AT ALL BUT....I can block ALL his attacks. Isn't that strange?

[@Vscustomprinting]

Maybe he's being nice to you

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

Not really. Sounds like you are both telegraphing or he has really good movement when defending but inefficient movement or lack of combinations when attacking so you have time to defend.

Taekwondo training is thought to contain the spirit of Taekwondo, which is Korean martial art as well as ability. Please respectfully exclude the word ninja.I will continue to support the good video and taekwondo training
