Jean-Claude Van Damme - Full and complete KARATE class

[@abdiver12]

What a fantastic coach Jean Claude is. He really seems down to earth, looks people in the eye, speaks from the heart, and is a great motivator. Much respect.

[@benYMSB]

Shit fighter though.

Van Damme knows how to throw a real punch and a real kick in karate.Amazing!

This man is the reason I started in karate. Much love to JCVD

[@oldironsides4107]

He’s awesome but I hope you ditched karate when you knew better I had my young boys in karate when they were too young for other sports. And just for fitness. In no way we’re they learning self defense.

[@OGMrWayne]

@@oldironsides4107 Nah, I went all the way to 2nd degree black. Now I just use it to maintain what I already know and for fitness as well. And, yes, we did learn self defense. 😇

[@rswpt]

I have alot to thank JCVD for, because of him i went to a karate school to learn.. and all the fun we had when kids watching his movies, trying to make the same moves. Jean Claude is not only a great action movie icon, he is also a nice and great guy, thank you for everything, and we, the fans, we will always be here to support you JCVD! ever!

[@HologramJay]

His analogy of aiming a gun in relation to the position of the knee is superb.

[@hellahung]

The height of a kick has always been on the knee. But using it like a chamber gun with explosive power. Thats new for me. Thanks JCVD for that awesome insight. Fan since the 90s. Lion Heart!!

[@ExodusPessoa]

Anyone who is a fan of Lion Heart, will always be a friend of mine :).

[@knightveg]

When I did karate as a kid it was always told us about the height of knee to get the power in our Kicks

[@johnlloyddy7016]

I think it is just a problem with semantics. Although Van Damme speaks English, his native language is French, so there probably was a problem with translating what he meant to say. I think the proper term he should have used is leverage not power. By raising your knee above your foot you get better leverage to generate power from the hip and project it thru your knees.

[@likwidatorpa6879]

[@boshirahmed]

It's rare to have that much flexibility, plus big muscles .

Always thought Van Damme was cool, this proves it, very humble.

JCVD the greatest kicker in martial arts ever you've got to love those jumping spin kicks

[@ricardomacias9035]

"Thank you for the knowledge" Years of experience n constant training n hard work makes your teaching great to know. Thank you again.

[@80casino]

Jean Claude van Dam is the best in my eyes he got his own skills and style thats what makes him a Legend.

[@thanethagreat]

He is not saying the power comes from the knee itself, but the location of the knee when you chamber your kicks

[@ericmonnot8121]

@Paul Blackman it has be proven!

[@ericmonnot8121]

@Paul Blackman that he can fight.

[@smiley-qb3nt]

You don't have to be a pro fighter to know how to fight or throw a kick . No one said he was beating up bad rutten .Jesus

[@RAPEDBYBLACKS]

@Paul Blackman he is not a competitive fighter but he knows about kicking. Cus D'amato never fought but no one would question he could teach you to fight

[@boshirahmed]

@Paul Blackman different sports..different kicks..point kick boxing, he was very good at his own sport..he never needed to to pro kickboxing, his dream is to be a movie star not a pro fighter. Al Pacino can never kick like him.

[@kanzenchowa9868]

Geesh, he IS the master of kicks. That explanation at 2:11 is amazing. I never realised that concept before (knee has to be higher, in front of you etc). He also has excellent control over his kicks.

[@SeanQuinn]

Its cool to see someone like JCVD take some time to sit and talk with a young kid. I was pretty surprised to see how small and unimpressive JCVD was as a child. It goes to show what a determined person can achieve if they really desire to.

[@muyapmuyapp4970]

i seriously love this guy van damme ! Love from Turkey

[@daniel-san836]

What an inspirational way to be, so warm, so humble.

[@W140MercedesS600]

Love Van Damme!

[@JoshLavian]

I've read people say online that he had a reputation for being egotistical. If this is true, it must have been regulated to the film sets, because I've seen interview after interview, and video after video, and he always comes across as humble and pleasant.

[@21stcenturyhiphop]

Most likely it was the cocaine talking at the time; he did a lot of blow.

[@jameslucke1798]

Josh Lavian I think he takes on a joking persona of egotistical. Kind of like a how zyzz did it. It's a act he puts on, but his that doesn't mean it's his true personality.

[@harrybunkum3753]

Jean Claude Van Damme is great. His advice about the knee works :D I would love to have a lesson with him as well, although I'd possibly be a bit nervous. One of my very favorites since childhood. People make fun of him, say he is not legitimate...they are wrong. Thanks for the video!

[@TrichsRUs]

Van damme isn't the greatest martial artist or even the best fighter, but he has the greatest control and power of his kicks.

[@gbulldog85]

Jcvd has always been one of my favorite martial arts/action star idols ever since I was a kid. Since then, martial arts has been my #1 dream. I've always dreamed of what it feels like demonstrating my martial arts skills in front of a camera. Not just for a commercial or TV show, but for an action movie.

[@tomohiromatsushige2042]

I am very pleased to see that they are practicing karate. I reallly respect that Mr. Jean - Claude Van Damme bowed when he enterded into Dojo. Politeness is the most important for Japanese Karate players. I am very happy to know that one of the best Hollywood Stars realizes that, as a karate player of Japan.

[@Tweekerhead]

Great comment, I'm impressed how much time and care JCVD had with this kid. I don't know how much this kid's Dad paid for this lesson, but JCVD is truly gracious and humble. After watching this, JCVD has become more of a "hero" to me.

Jean Claude Van Damme is a great man he is an inspiration for lot of people. They way he talks and he acts it seems that he is a man with a big heart thats why we love him . Great video man thank you :)

Uma verdadeira Lenda Van Damme

[@joanofarcxxi]

I am a grown woman and I have never taken martial arts (apart from kick boxing aerobics) but have always had a deep interest in it. I learned something from this video. The power is in the knee. Keeping the knee high, blocking. I loved this short lesson, and it's really too bad that the boy was not very responsive, but he will never forget this day. JCVD is a class act from the inside out. What a beautiful man, and a really good actor. He has evolved and his theatrical work is inspiring. I have been a fan since the first film released in the USA, I loved many of his movies, Bloodsport was epic, Lion Heart was a beautiful film, but my favorite was Double Impact. I know a lot of people will disagree, but I liked the story, I thought it was ingenious, entertaining, and a challenge for an actor to play 2 characters. What could be better than double Van Damme? Anyway, I love you JCVD. Je vous aime beaucoup, Vous êtes le package complet.

[@kevinfranca7397]

Amazing class with the great martial arts legend Jean-Claude Van Damme. What a privilege for this boy to receive teachings directly from this icon. I dream of one day being able to meet him, I love all of his movies and I always watch them. Made my childhood very special ❤💪🎬🎞️🏆🇧🇪👊💯

[@alonzotanner1226]

It's weird seeing him train in a formal setting like this. I always understood that he stopped training in this fashion once his acting career took off. It's great to see this.

Big respect to Van Damme, when i was growing up in Egypt we loved his movies!

He's very eccentric, and what he's saying in this video is right. I love it when I see athletes and actors talk about martial arts and actually know what they're saying. Sometimes you get some people who spout a lot of BS and it really misleads people into thinking that they know a lot about martial arts.

[@obleronparticles]

Hilarious, loved every second. I haven't ever commented on YT before, believe it or not, but I just HAD to right now. I used to do martial arts and the weak looking kick the kid does is a TKD kick, with the knee brought right up from the floor, and the instep turned at around 45 degrees (i.e. not fully turned). The correction from Van Damme is to make a Karate kick (roundhouse) with the knee brought up first. It's a stylistic difference and Van Damme didn't realise this! Funnay!

Seems like a really cool guy. One of his best films I think was actually JCVD. A film with very little (almost none) martial arts in it. Got a lot of time for this man now, he has really matured into one of the good guys.

[@OutsandingMan2007]

This was an awesome video. I liked how he explained to the kide how to use his knee to get more power out of his kicks. I wish that I had the opportunity to meet a martial arts superstar that would have showed me some good pointers at the school I am going to man.

Van Damme is really what got me into martial arts before Bruce Lee did, so I will always love the guy and never get tired of my favorite movies of his.
