You mean asian martial arts vs asian martial arts in America. There is no such thing as American karate. All martial arts is asian originated.

[@KARATEbyJesse]

@@mikebradshaw8530 Agree to disagree 😄

[@kdoesgaming5039]

@@mikebradshaw8530 American Karate is simply a karate system adopted into the west that has undergone changes and tweaks overtime. But I have to disagree with you that “all” martial arts originate from Asia, as martial art simply just means fight/conflict/war arts. Any country can create a system of fighting, such as capoeira (Brazil), pankration (Greece), fencing (throughout Europe such as Italian rapier) and so on. I apologise but to claim that all martial arts come from Asia maybe because their culture for it is so huge or that they created the first is ignorant. It’s like saying all literature is Babylonian because the first poem was the Epic of Gilgamesh. Also hello Jesse! Love your videos, still wondering if Steven Seagal’s hair is real

[@theironfox2756]

Japanese kicks are more accurate and not only harder to catch, but harder to destroy. American kicks use power and eschew accuracy. So with japanese style, you must attack the specific targets and not the general area.

[@robinsonder]

I practiced Isshinryu for 3 years. Punches, kicks and everything were supposed to be snapped back twice as fast as they went out. Not sure about other karate disciplines but that’s how ours was.

[@cancel935]

@@giorgiociaravolol1998brother what? Rafael was undefeated for years. They changed whole rules on throws to slow this man down and he’s continued to win. So he lost twice to him? He’s also beat him multiple times as well. In terms of longevity, Rafael has been successful for longer and has har a larger impact on the sport. Busa is a beast and may eventually outdo aghayev but as of now, personally I don’t think so

[@realityjaunt]

I think it is very evident that Sensei Seth's karate has gradually changed over time as he has absorbed other styles so his is very pragmatic but definitely less pure. His side kick lacking a true chamber probably being the best example. Honestly I love both styles.

[@MrOlleyOlley]

I trained in traditional Karate in the Uk. Only reason I snapped my kicks back was for balance. If kicking to hurt I would push my whole weight through a kick.

Snapping kicks send the force further into a much more specific point of contact. A white belt can use a "push" kick but learning a proper snap is like aging a fine wine.

[@enekaitzteixeira7010]

That's so dumb.

[@leon_redgrave]

​@@enekaitzteixeira7010its meant to focus all the mass and speed on one point. Its called kime in karate. Its a bit difficult cause besides the actual form you need to check out the spacing as well. Hitting with a full strike at the maximum momentum. Harden your body, instantly soft your body and get back rather than pushing through. Sure when your built like a tank just push him away with mass nothing wrong about it but yeah. Thats the tequinique the fella was talking about i guess

The spinning side kick from sensei jesse was a thing of beauty 🥋

[@rasalghul9331]

When I used to practice traditional karate - I was totaly convinced the way Jesse executes his techniques was the way to go because I had been convinced that throwing your body mass into a technique would be evaded and you would go falling off balance and KO'd beyond consciousness. It is funny because I was convinved of this even though I never sparred with live, resisting partners. Once I trained with resisting partners in Muay Thai - I understood the practical reality of throwing your technique and NOT snapping your legs and arms back llike you would if you were hitting thin air.

I don't know if this translate the same since I'm a boxer. But at beginning I was throwing this punches and pushing the bag away. Until the coach aproached and landed some very powerful punches and barely moving the bag. " There's a big difference between hitting something and pushing something. I think this is the same example.

[@combatsportsarchive7632]

@@rasalghul9331 The fact that you trained a dojo where you never sparred with resisting partners is clearly a mcdojo. A real example of traditional Karate mush have hard and freestyle types of kumite with grappling session like International Okinawan Goju Ryu Karate Do and Daigaku Karate for obvious reasons. Without those, you have NO clue how to apply Kumite methods correctly in different ranges for realistic fighting. The Ryukyuan predecessors from pre 1900 had those structures of training alongside the various forms of Quan Fa before the emergence of sport Karate. No sparring and grappling sessions are not the traditional ways.

I do Taekwondo but that snap back to the chamber is something my instructor will always remind me about- Over and over again- To the point that my legs hurt from doing kicks over and over

[@RobKHere]

In old school hapkido they do not snap back. I have been in old Korean and an Okinawan style. And kicking in the air with no resistance has its place, but over time it can damage the knee. And not just the kicked leg, but the supporting one. All that energy goes someplace if not hitting a target. It’s mostly to the weaker parts of your frame, namely the joints.

[@maitreyand7876]

The logical n intentional difference that i find between the two approaches is that, when you want to hold your form n repeat the action, you snap n pull back, as in Fujian White Crane n Okinawan systems... On the contrary if you want to utilise full body power n don't want to hold previous form n rather flow into another subsequent form, you don't snap n pull back... This is also the concept of Taijutsu... So its a choice of intention n requirement... 🤗😇🙏🙏🌼

[@Q40009]

As someone in taekwondo, I am not a big fan of the japanese side kick, but the backfist was smooth

[@DLotS42]

Isn’t the snap more effective? My sensei explained to me that when you snap the strike, the force will not go back into your body(as per physics laws), but will travel deeper into your opponent body because it has nowhere else to go. He demonstrated both kinds of strike to me and when he punched quickly, I felt the impact deeper.

[@tomzzzen866]

He is a conman

[@Bleedthefreak]

When I was a young 13 ye old brown belt I was always taught to snap certain strikes like jabs and “poke” type moves. But I mean a full power sidekick is meant to break ribs, its slower so its not something you throw out there for shits and giggles cuz if you don’t pick your timing and opening right your leg will definitely get grabbed then you resort to the “super dope jumping roundhouse to the face that hopefully works” I mean if someone has a hold of my leg I’m already off balance, so they have more control of you at that point, usually in my experience you’re either going to be dropped to the ground or go airborne for a Hail Mary kick that’s totally gimmicky and if it fails your probably gonna be on the ground anyways, unless you miss and stick the landing. BUT think about the other guy, it takes two hands and a lot of strength to catch and hold a kick and probably eat some of the impact of it as well, then then you have to do something with it, non martial artists might throw it back at you, or try to pull you in for like a headbutt or to grab you, during this time they have no way to guard the whole top 1/3 without releasing your leg. You just gotta use both your momentum and their arms as leverage to vault a foot or shin into their jaw. Nobody wants to see someone jump kicking at their face with no way to block it. At least that’s how it goes in my head xD

The snap we called ‘shock factor’. It’s not so they can’t catch your leg, it’s more about a shockwave going through them. My teacher always talked about flicking a towel and how it’s only soft cloth, but the ‘snap’ makes it sting

[@mariusflekats9422]

I think it's also about the oponent. When fighting someone with no martial arts experience putting your whole mass in one hit can end the fight in one hit, on the other hand it makes it easier to catch if if the oponent knows what they are doing. And there's one more rather obvious difference in the last uraken.

[@keltenbleich]

Karate and other similar martial arts, are made for scoring points in a competition where everyone abide by the rules. For self defence purposes one should practise fighting systems where you learn to neutralize an attacker in a few seconds. As those mostly have a deadly outcome, they cannot be used in any competition. As inflicting pain in a competition it´s not the goal, the faster tecnique where you snap back your blows will be best for scoring points.

That is too funny! Right after you finished showing us each of the techniques, I literally said out loud "Dang, Jesse's snap is crazy!" I would NOT want to get hit by one of those, sheesh! Honestly, as a now disabled ex-martial artist, I can tell you kick harder/more effectively. Japanese Karate in my humble opinion, in general, is superior to American. I've seen American Karate schools many times, but when I saw a few Japanese Dojos for the first time...I was like "Oh my GOODNESS." They train HARD. They are also much more strict, and they take earning belts very seriously. Unlike many American Karate schools, you can pretty much buy your way to a black belt. Sad, but true. 😅

Jesse, isn’t a shotokan punch supposed to not be fully extended at the point of contact to be able to drill into the target, for example the difference between the length of my fully extended arms and the one when it comes in contact with the target is about 2 fists long. That’s the way funakoshi taught.
