Jesse Enkamp haha I was just practicing the hook kick today on the beach! Hook kick=💟

[@katherineroldan2223]

Can you do a spinning hook kick tutorial how to kick the target while spinning?

[@samuelhildebrand344]

I'm needing to improve my tornado kick.

[@bulliwrestler1069]

Jesse Enkamp really you r good mAster

[@mxmartin85]

Pleas make an video about the do mawashi kaiten geri.

[@sukotsutoCSSR]

I used to train this kick so much on a pillar wrapped with rope during my teens. It's one of those perfect unexpected kicks your can catch people off guard, since most people are used to roundhouse and front kicks - and that was exactly the reason why I trained it

[@robbybee70]

for me it always looked like I was about to throw a sidekick so I got a lot of use out of it, back in the day

[@Froge4291]

@@robbybee70 Bill "superfoot" Wallace was also known for tricking his opponents with this way of executing simmilar kicks (Yoko geri, Mawashi geri, Ura mawashi geri)

[@WiduliyaComExploretheFuture]

I think this is a useful but underestimated kick, specially against a trained fighter. Also, that's a good way to train it.

[@otutut]

Thank you for explaining so lucidly. Never paid attention to the word "ura" despite practicing a lot of urakens and uramawashis. The step -by- step explanation is super helpful and can be a great way to self-learn. Thanks brother Jesse for your superb videos.

[@freddiethomas9505]

I literally just got Hook kicked in the face at a tournament by guy and all I thought was this was a nice kick I need to learn it like that. Thank you for explaining it

[@sebastianmuller804]

Hey Jesse, thank you for sharing your passion with other Karateka all over the world! Your videos help me a lot, especially in the last months, when i had to train at home.

[@MexicanMartialArts]

My favorite kick :)

[@KARATEbyJesse]

+Voto Studios Awesome! 👊

[@SonicPAJ]

Oh hey! It's the Grandmaster of Mexican Martial Arts!

[@blaircarnegie2738]

Love your videos question Jessie where do I go to find your karate nerd merchandise being someone new to your channel I am not sure if you sell any? Any info in this regard would be greatly appreciated it take care

[@Daniel73-51]

I wonder, did you more often throw it from the back leg or front?

[@caelinthacker4106]

Absolutely love this kick, seeing it done live in a kickboxing match is what motivated me to learn Taekwondo and Muay Thai

[@SuperGangadeen]

I've just started Kyokoshin training and have found your footwork tips invaluable. Can't wait to translate those into practice

[@katanaburner]

Hey I really enjoy your how to improve videos. I've been practicing kenpo and jiu-jitsu since I was 6 and very recently I was diagnosed with a softball sized brain tumor that took 4 brain surgeries to remove and even still I need radiation therapy sessions. In doing so I was living in the hospital for 4 months and learned that many things that i used to do would have been forgotten. Things like auto racing, playing the piano and martial arts are taking a very long time to relearn. Your how to vids are helping me regain my old self again. Thank you.

[@christopherblade5984]

This is a great method to teach this kick. This kick happens to be my favourite of kicks. As it has worked for me for so many years. Great description. Looking forward to more. Keep it up. You are doing one fabulous job.

[@KARATEbyJesse]

+Blade Martial Arts Academy Thank you so much! 👍 It’s a tricky kick, but pays off when you know how to deliver it. Thanks for chiming in! 😃

[@jezza8969]

Hello Jesse, because of your videos I am one colour from black. You inspire me to be the best I can be and inspire me to keep going. I hope one day I can be as good of a martial artist as you

[@KARATEbyJesse]

+Jeremy Gray Fantastic! Keep going, you’re almost at the “starting line” ✊ The journey never ends!

[@jezza8969]

Jesse Enkamp Arigato Jesse-san. I shall continue to watch your uploads and learn more. That way you can be apart of my journey also :)

[@robeyjenkins1711]

Great training tip, Jesse Sensei. We've just started teaching ura mawashi geri to our juniors, and I'll bring this exercise to their next class!

[@TJtoho]

One of the best all time hook kick demo vids I've seen with great visuals on the sole of ur foot with descriptions of various ways to land it 👍

[@ArtofOneDojo]

Excellent drill Sensei, I like the concept of teaching them on the floor first. One drill I loved when training was my instructor taught us how to do the spinning hook kick by standing in a doorway (To prevent it from turning into a wheel kick or elongating the path of travel). If you use the right mechanics, you should be able to spin in a doorway, snap the hook kick out and retract it back to your fighting stance without touching the frame. It REALLY made us aware of our technique!!

[@KARATEbyJesse]

Love it! Great exercise 😄👍

[@gody09gody69]

It feels so good when you pull it off. I got better at it by kicking apples out of the air with the kick.

[@MrFacundo7]

Excellent tutorial Sensei Jesse!!👏This kick gives me more work than than side kicks, I'm gonna practice it this way and I'm sure little by little I'll get it right💪👍👍

[@danite620]

I think I understand better with this video than I have in the last 15 years . Thanks .

[@N8_8L]

I don't know what's going on but once I saw this video I was able to master it without doing any exercises!

[@SolomonMcNeil2]

One of my favourite kicks, it's beautiful!

[@johanjonsson6504]

My one and only knockout was by this kick in kumite... then I learned to keep my hands up! :)

[@raydrexler5868]

An excellent explanation, with practice the hook kick is super effective.

[@olly783]

Nice exercise. I'll show my sensei this as well since he has trouble doing this kick now since he's in his 70s

[@KARATEbyJesse]

+olly783 Wonderful! Hope he can do it 💪

[@phillipmoore9012]

I don't know if you noticed, but Bill Wallace would chamber his left (front) knee the same to not reveal whether the kick was a hook, side, or roundhouse kick. Without a rotation, the power of his kicks depended on speed, a 'bump' of the hips, and usually forward motion. Also, I have read discussions on position changes in kata based on rotation near one's heel, but a rotation into a kick should be on the ball of the foot. If your toes are then pointed in the opposite direction of your target you don't even have your heel on the ground that moment. Admittedly, performing a kick even slightly slower than it should be needs the heel down for support.

[@steviek1980]

Very great tutorial! I love the floor drill. It makes you focus on the form of the kick. I like to throw a hard side kick off center to my opponent and snap it back along that line you mentioned to increase speed!

[@Sigma-Videos]

It’s my favorite kick because it is so effective I train the Ura mawashi Geri every time

[@saidfarid6382]

Oss Sensei Thank you so much for your interesting training and excellent coaching,i do appreciate your job, i wish you peace and happiness under the sky of prosperity,all the best, take care and have a good time. Your Student from Algeria

[@kevinmcgrath127]

Great deconstruction of the hook kick elements...I would love a breakdown of that low feint roundhouse which suddenly changes to a high roundhouse...I was caught out by this deceptive technique quite a few times!

[@FightCenter-Coimbatore]

Thanks Jessy I got few steps from u to improve my kicks

[@maduroholdings]

For an older fighter trying to regain some of his kicking prowess this is a nice training for me

[@erickgabriel1695]

As always, love all those tips to improve myself. Oss sensei jesse 💞👊

[@FlyingSpaghetti171]

I love how the exercise lying on the side helps you feel the right muscles working for the kick without any confusion with the muscles keeping you upright. Is that what they call “muscle activation “?

[@hassanphm]

i already knew how to do this kick but you’re great

[@zumbaconrobertosouthwestde1577]

Very well explained, muchas gracias 🤗

[@mckenzie-grayeevans5876]

Cheers man.This is a kick I struggle with, perhaps the most.It’s partly due to my fitness level (which is about average, maybe slightly below) and the fact that I’m Dyspraxic.This video’s helpful.Osu.

[@warrenchu6319]

My favorite offensive weapon: That the opponent does not see it coming from the direction of the back of his head gives it an element of surprise. But be aware that your back is exposed during the kick so your attack needs to be fully committed.

[@stretchingsamurai2047]

Awesome ... Im definitly trying this exercise

[@louieluna3039]

Thank you very much, Enkamp Sensei. Peace, from a Wing Chun Gung Fu practitioner in Seattle, WA.

[@MegaLadyI]

This is fantastic, training became much more easy.

[@lizardeditz9185]

Master I was unable to do this kick.. But after watching this video I was able to do but while I try to increase the height my joint are paining. Please put an video of streching

[@itz_just_me594]

You are kicking awesome 👏

[@helened8449]

My favorite teacher!

[@darque1860]

Thank u sensei Jesse. Question: how many revolutions per exercise session Do u recommend doing? Thank u much!!!✌

[@mariostekic]

Great explanation and exercise to practice the kick 👌👍🥋

[@zaferyener6162]

Very sympathetic trainer and very nice explaination thanks a lot

[@WolfAs243]

Very educational!! Next kick I want to improve is the Jodan Mawashi.

[@mayasthaamayasthaa9964]

Thanks upload this video I love this cheanal 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@thomaspeyrou-lauga5024]

OSU, in the style of karate I practice, we call the hook kick "kake geri", so I was wondering if there was a difference between "kake geri" and "ura mawashi geri"?

[@razorart4356]

2:30 'draw me like like of your French girls' pose.

[@rogerbyrd3524]

Love it yea a cool thing to try too is to set up maybe a plastic bottle Bc it’s light and do the kick but using the BALL of your foot to hook kick so for this if done correctly the bottle should come back toward your kicking side not out to the side. 🙂

[@LESTERZX10]

Thanks sensei Jesse . Brilliant explanation . I waited for this ;)

[@Ironman-st7ze]

You teaches very well😊I am also a karate student

[@MDRhioui]

li love your videos teacher

[@minakshiajay9081]

i am karate girl and this really helped me

[@kagezay]

Mawashi geri tutorial would be great love everything so far

[@Nespico]

Thanks so much for this nice and relaxed instruction!

[@RobinYoulton]

Inspiring Jesse, thank you for this excellent training instruction.

[@pwnerneo]

Hi Jesse, Very nice tutorial! I am a second degree black belt but this was not one of my specialties. I notice now after training a while i can get more power in my kick already! I only have 1 question: I have a bit trouble with lifting the knee up first. In theory it sounds good and it helps to develop the strength and proper way to generate power in your kick but when performing the kick at full speed i tend to not fully lift my knee up first but do it more fluently like a swing. Is this ok? It feels ok, while the kick becomes less fluent when I Lift my knee up first. Hope to hear from you! Also an idea: can you give a tutorial explaining the proper technique of doing this kick in a full spin?

[@issue5502]

Thanks for the lesson, Sensei !

[@rramadhan68]

This video help me improving my karate skill for black belt exam next week😂😂

[@Hogib35]

Wow I got it..makes sense. The brain will tell the body what just happened and connect and save it on the ground with practice so when you standing up it's super identical and all you need is The motion the brain saved

[@ezekielpresentacion1088]

I was using this kick plenty of times in some of my matches before and i score everytime i do it

[@CinematicTendency]

Thank you for this tutorial 💯

[@KARATEbyJesse]

No problem!!

[@hongquyenpham9070]

Thank you for good idea 🤗🥰

[@ゴンサレスカナーンツィ]

Hey Jesse! Good video! Could you make a video doing preeliminar exercise for improving Mawashi Geri?

[@johnsonc5702]

Arrigatto Jesse San, from India

[@llcoolmartine]

Good tips for sure. I'm an old fart and last time I graduated I almost tore of my hamstring doing an Ura Mawashi during Kumite. It's an invaluable kick for sure and really good when you are close to the opponent.

[@Gutisusa]

Thank you. I needed this!

[@WarthunderVideos4U]

I like this kick with the lead foot, it's faster, great outside of a jab thrown. To the kidney or liver, . . Sometimes follow with the other foot, spinning back hook kick after the first one.

[@89334726]

So is this to be used only against the head or is landing one to back of the thigh ok?

[@varunshah7205]

Awesome exercise!! Kudos!

[@indrinimazumder7252]

thank you , I hope it will help me .

[@senior2010]

I will try to do it!

I have scored sooo many ura mawashi head kicks and I wasn’t even doing it correctly, thanks for teaching me how to do it properly

[@KARATEbyJesse]

+Fishe Fantastic! 😃👍

[@chriswalker7632]

Any tips about managing your mood while training so as you don't counter act the mood enhancing benefits of exercise by over doing it? (even if it feels like you are doing less and resting more - for example less energy and more muscle aches due to stress and tension). Yay! :D

[@syk_]
