How to Train Karate at Home (with no space)

[@equusband6418]

PLEASE do the body weight session video! I do calisthenics at home and have dip and pushup bars. Would love to see one.

[@Mraymankarate]

I want to add something to this inspiring topic. Stretching doesnt only improves your high kicks but your karate in gwneral such as ease of movement and smooth transition between stances and it can improves your agility and strength too.

[@jkgardiner]

@@Mraymankarate absolutely 💯 and upper body stretching and mobility is just as important as lower body for the reasons you mentioned.

[@SolomonMcNeil2]

Reaction time buzzers for kumite timing is one I really recommend

[@jamiet7728]

Great video. Also nice to see your progression and confidence in presenting your content too. Oss!

[@jkgardiner]

@@jamiet7728 Thank you, i hope it’s getting a bit more natural now

[@jamiet7728]

@jkgardiner definitely mate, you can 💯 tell 👍. That's a hard skill in itself!

[@philippesevigny4959]

Thanks sensei, quick comment for the algorithm. Happy holidays !

[@jkgardiner]

Thank you, have a good time 🎄🥋

[@greygo_of3928]

Thank you for your insight. It is honestly helpful. Being away from martial arts for 10yrs has taught me how much I’ve been neglecting so many basics. Getting back into it has definitely been a challenge. With your amazing vids and Naka sensei’s vids, it has been a life saver. I studied Shotokan first and transitioned into Shorin Ryu. We used to train with chi-shi a lot in Shorin Ryu, I wonder why Shotokan don’t train with them? But my point is, I believe you are correct, when you say weight training should be apart of our normal karate training.

[@pratapkumarnayak9717]

Sir ,Oss Name of the kata is Jion Thank you 🙏

[@karate_girl_ibiza]

Jion is a nice kata.. i on tekki shodan, not an easy kata

[@Stebs_Paintings]

The kata is Jion, and I was doing it tonight under the watchful eye of my Sensei Bob Rhodes.

[@DuncanMitchelOfficial]

Thank you John, all the extra lessons help! May Jesus always guide and protect you under the shadow of his mighty wing! Amen

[@Vincentorix]

Watch videos of your favourite content creators or read books on Karate. 😊

[@nellytheelephant7794]

Hi, in Shotokan do you always have a bent back leg in forward leaning stance?

[@jkgardiner]

@@nellytheelephant7794 not always, depends what you’re doing

[@harshaltheboss]

Sir upload your leg b session and others weight training sessions as well

[@karate_girl_ibiza]

My kata is tekki shodan..😅 Nd with RESPECT Sensei Sir, you have devastatingly gorgeous eyes, OSS

BEST at home training.....conditioning your body (old school style) fists, feet, fingers, toes so you can ACTUALLY hit someone full force w/o breaking YOUR bones. In my opinion this is the most important thing that is almost universally (except in really old school okinawan styles like Uechiryu) left out of training now!

[@jkgardiner]

@@USGrant-rr2by we do conditioning in Shotokan as well. I’ve always done it

[@USGrant-rr2by]

@@jkgardiner Um, I trained in Shotokan from mid 80s to late 90s (3rd Dan under Okazaki Sensei). Arguably "the heyday" of Shotokan. Had to retire due to the accumilation of all the injuries. Toughest training, toughest and best fighters, and we (ISKF) NEVER did any extensive body conditioning aside from what we gained during actual training (literally getting beat up, broken bones, torn ligaments ect.) Hitting the Makiwara a few dozen times a week does nothing. So, unless training has drastically changed since then (and from what I see, it has......for the worse. Most students today wouldn't last a month back then) I would say speak for yourself and your organization?

[@jkgardiner]

@@USGrant-rr2by yea I’m obviously speaking for myself. Shotokan on the whole doesn’t tend to do much if at all. But I always took ideas from elsewhere, sandbags and makiwara, all kinds of things since I was about 14

[@vikingfromthenorth7]

Was the Kata Chion?

[@jkgardiner]

Yes, I spell it Jion 👍🏼

[@vikingfromthenorth7]

@jkgardiner ah right,i didnt know how to write it right 👍🏼

[@RubenTavernier]

Jion!

[@justinstuart8382]

Can I ask you do you supplement your Karate with weight training because that's some arm you've got there 😮

[@jkgardiner]

Yea, I have a few videos on this channel about my weight training programme etc

[@justinstuart8382]

​@@jkgardinerI'm sure I've seen you in Jersey a few times & also Summer Course. Did you do Ishinryu with Ticky as a kid?

[@jkgardiner]

@@justinstuart8382 yes I taught a couple of seminars in Jersey and trained with Ishinryu for 10 years 2005-2015

[@justinstuart8382]

​@@jkgardinerI thought so. Jonathan Mottram used to come over as well, our club was started in Jersey in 82 by Peter Dennis. I've trained with Ticky when I was 19. Scary guy 😮

[@slowgamer7076]

[@kameronwraithd.k.5363]

Is it Jion?

[@jkgardiner]

✅

[@juliesonnenblume]

Since you've talked a lot about the "how to practice in a small space" problem: maybe mention it in he title? It seemed to be an issue people might search for. 😊

[@jkgardiner]

@@juliesonnenblume yes good idea, I’ll add it to the title thanks 🙏🏼
