How do you kick a soccer ball? That’s why Higa Sensei is a great teacher.

[@daiblaze1396]

This sensei is amazing. You can see the power that he can generate effortlessly. I was wondering about power. Brute force generates power but not for long and I guess you could get better by using your body properly. Martial arts are truly wonderful. It feels like I don't know my body yet !

Arigato gozaimasu 🙏💪 Sensei. Thank you for the hip rotation lesson. The method for training that hips with an object is interesting to . One thing I practice with the sai is flicking from one grip to the other using the hips. Your bag example gave me some good ideas.

[@KarateDojowaKu]

The sai usage is perfect too! Nice one!

[@KarateDojowaKu]

What are you planning to do from seeing my bag practice?

[@christiandulworth4427]

@@KarateDojowaKu I was thinking possibly filling a 5 gallon ozarka water bottle with sand or some dense material. Possibly maybe using resistance bands. Some gym equipment uses a corded handle attached to weight for working out the arms . Rather then using arms, it may be possible to keep them stationary while using the hips to make the movement. I haven't tried though

[@johndough8115]

FYI - A lot of the things you are being taught, about whole-body-mass unity... is the same types of things taught in "Internal" arts like Tai Chi. The details of how you connect and direct energy inside of you... make a huge difference in the kind of performance that is possible.

[@camiloiribarren1450]

Yusuke stole Jesse Enkamp's famous line of "Okinawa, the birthplace of karate" and his soba review is still making hungry lol In all seriousness, I am learning so much from these Yusuke in Okinawa videos to improve my Goju ryu. Very nicely done

[@KarateDojowaKu]

Thank you! Were there any similarities between Goju and the tips covered in this video?

@@KarateDojowaKu the hip rotation is something that is very emphasized in order to shoot our seiken or tsuki or even our Mae Geri/mawashi Geri. Kakie training is something that’s practiced a lot in Goju Ryu, to help with both back-and-forth forces and how to manipulate strikes in a circular movement

[@acca4612]

I always thought it was a matter of synchronising muscle work with the obvious hip work for energy transfer more than like pendulum mechanics with a specific sequence, but there get a completely different perspective from these seminar

[@hydroturd]

9:20 we also did this in goju-ryu class. In english we say "sticky hands". We just did it for training, sort of an introduction to grappling "sensitivity". Supposedly it by itself is popular as a competition as well (whoever loses balance) and found in some chinese arts. I never thought to try this on the heavy bag, might have to give it a go. Loving this series

[@KarateDojowaKu]

Thanks for the English phrase! Sensitivity is the perfect word I think. Love to hear how your bag practice goes!

[@johndough8115]

In Tai Chi, these drills are called Push-Hand drills. In Wing Chun, they use a slightly more simplified version, called Chi Sao (Sticky Hands). There is much less force being used in the drills, as the main focus in in relaxed sensitivity. Trying to feel when the OP presents a weakness... and they trying to sense when you present a weakness... and immediately trying to take advantage of the weakness, using the proper technique / energy. Of course, there are elements in both... where you can use speed and raw power. It is then up to the practitioner, to know when is best to use either method: Whether to use speed and power (often against a weak structure / person) ... or to "listen", and use relaxed soft power methods (often against very strong forces / stronger OP) , to deal with things.

[@djoetma]

Another popculture idea: Fighting games. Several games use the depiction of karate in several ways. F.e. Street Fighter 6 came out recently, and it has several karate styles (fictional as well as real) of karate. It would be interesting to hear your view on how realistic these moves look and if they are a clear depiction of what karate is or could be. I guess since several karate-oriënted characters are missing in SF6, you should include SF5 and especially SF4 as well.

I am enjoying more of your vlog style videos! I am waiting for your "smash that SUBSCRIBE button" prompt!

[@BLenz-114]

So, I’m Goju, for many years. And I don’t know how similar this is to Goju, but . . . I see this in newer students often . . . Between about 10:30 and 11:00, I can just see that your weight is “up” and his is “down”. There’s a feeling of getting into the stance and then “sinking” your weight into the ground. I’m honestly not sure how it is accomplished but it’s something you can feel when you do it and something you can see in others. In that same section, can you see that you’re tipped a bit forward, too? No criticism; you’re doing much better than I would! Just observations. Really enjoying these deep dives into detailed technique. I can see you’re asking him some questions about things he hadn’t maybe considered consciously.

[@KarateDojowaKu]

I 100% agree with your observation as I still have lots more to work on! Which tip from this sensei did you like the most?

@@KarateDojowaKu I really thought the kakie stuff was very good. I know some folks do that, and I have never really understood the benefit, but now I do. It's not about the arms, (which I assumed) it's about the stance and structure.

@@BLenz-114 Exactly!

[@johndough8115]

@@KarateDojowaKu One of the sort of Secrets of Tai Chi / Internal arts.. is being able to "Root" into the ground.. and to Re-direct mass and energy. First try this: Get a partner, and have them stand in front of you. Stand in a lead leg stance, not too deep nor too wide, buy with slightly bent knees. Become relaxed, and try not to tense any part of your body, at any point. Have your partner, put a palm in the center of your chest.. and gradually (slowly) increase forwards pressure. As the energy goes into you... try to "Direct" it downwards into your legs / feet. You will Feel the difference, internally... the moment that you do it. Try both directing it down into the lead leg, and then try the rear leg. You will likely find, that One works better than the other. The more advanced, is to stand with your legs in a neutral stance (both legs side by side.. about a foot apart). This being much more challenging... because you will be far more easily uprooted. And the most advanced, is to stand on one leg, while trying it. You can see an example of this, in Jim Fungs Internal Wing Chun Demo. The old man puts a scale down... and then a single Domino on top of it. He then stands on top of the Domino with one leg raised into the air... and resists the pusher. As the pusher pushes... the scale reading increases... showing the power actually going from the pusher... down into the scale. kzbin.info/www/bejne/omjadaaXgtisps0 Described Demo Starting at 1:39. However, I advise watching the entire video. Its fairly short. A lot of people whom practice the Tai Chi form, are not doing so with the proper Internal methods.. and thus, not getting much benefit out of them. While doing them, you not only must be relaxed... but you need to relax to the point where your body is on the verge of collapse. Your body should feel very HEAVY.. sort of like you ran into the ocean with your clothes on... and afterwards... you feel your wet, heavy, clothing... weighing you down. These forms are to be performed for an entire hour, without breaks / stopping... and at least every other day... for several months time. They will develop your body, in such a way, that you have Super Flexible, yet Super Strong tendons. Your body becomes like a very Strong BOW... that can receive the OPs energy.. storing it like a spring... and then releasing it explosively. It would take a few more pages worth of texts to describe all of the other changes that occur... which greatly effect ones actual combat abilities. If you are interested in more... I have 30 yrs in the combat arts. Mostly in Wing Chun, but also some Tai Chi, as well as cross trained in several other arts methods. Ive learned things that very few teachers in this world, have managed to figure out. And those that do know it... are not so easily willing to teach it. At best, they will just show some demos... and reveal some of the more simpler aspects (Unless you have decades under them, and they like + trust you). Kungfusteve at gmail Best Regards

in kakie it's possible to see the chinese legacy in karate. It's similar to the sensibilty and empower exercise in a lot of kung fu styles. For example the tiu shou of tai chi chuan or chi sao of wing chun.

[@lawrencesounddesign1862]

"how do you kick a soccer ball" - lightbulb moment. For 40 years I've trained, and much of that is "against the grain" as it were. Lately I've started rock climbing and a surprising thing happened. When you learn to climb you are basically "forgetting" all of the phobias and limitations and returning your mind to a playful childlike state - as children are natural climbers - until they forget how. As an adult we'll spend countless hours trying to drill more power and efficiency out of our bodies but sometimes the answer is as simple as "how would you kick a ball? why is it any different than kicking an enemy?" He's right, muai thai technique is very natural. Easy on the joints. The way I've practiced kicks my entire life, not so easy on the joints. Between our shihankai at my organization I think there's about 8 or 9 replaced hips, 12+ knee replacements, etc. That high percentage of replacement joints in our older karateka (60-70yo) really sent a message as I started developing joint issues as I approached the age of 50. I can't reverse the damage I've done but I can take steps to limit how much more damage I do - so a very strong look at natural technique is important. For you young practitioners, strongly think about this and how much wear and tear you are putting on your joints with technique because damage starts young and is cumulative.

[@lawrencesounddesign1862]

One thing worth mentioning quickly is ALWAYS develop opposing muscles. Most of our stances in shotokan, in particular, are deep. Builds strong legs yes! But unbalanced strength pulls joints out of alignment and leads to torn miniscus and labrums, ligament damage, etc. Always counter-balance strong quads from stance with lots of opposing force training on weights (I do a LOT of hamstring weight training to balance out the quads and this has helped stabilize my too-far-gone knee joints). That will keep the joints equal and aligned and hopefully help prevent decay of cartilage and connective tissues. Same with hips; kibadachi builds strong legs; on one side. Do compression training to build the opposing muscles.

Here's some good advice for you... Do a video series with a Judoka or BJJ Black Belt and get a serious reality check. Try sparring with them and see what happens. Your ego will be completely crushed. The only way to learn what this guy is actually teaching you, it must be done in a live grappling context. Otherwise, you can practice for 100 years and still never be able to get it. I'm not trying to be harsh, it's just the truth.
