KARATE for beginners - Lesson 2

[@MartialArtsLifeStyle]

Basics are so important. It can be considered that basics are the start of mastery....when one can hone the fundamentals.The reason is because if someone has not got good basics they wont move well later on with advanced material. Great video !👍

[@ChampionsKarateDojo]

I completely agree. Repetition of trying to perfect a technique was very much how I trained growing up.

[@ChampionsKarateDojo]

@@JoseGonzalez-gg6rs when I teach techniques to my students we work on it for a week until we learn something new. But I always revisit the lesson and train old techniques so no one forgets.

[@John-ob7dh]

I trained 3 times a week from 1972 to 1980 .And even now if someone goes to touch my face for any reason ,I instinctively block them without even thinking .I am 81

[@ChampionsKarateDojo]

That’s amazing. And if anyone is reading this comment, this just shows if you try long enough, martial arts will become second nature. Thank you for watching, sir! 🙏

Im learning through these videos until I can someday take real lessons I hope that I can get a head start by watching these! Thank you.

[@israelrodriguez260]

As a 39-year-old parent and full-time student and employee, I understand the challenges of finding time to train in a traditional dojo. I am grateful to have found this channel, as it allows me to train in the comfort of my own home. I am a highly motivated individual when it comes to learning self-defense, especially in these uncertain times.

[@bryanmichaellikescats]

i love your videos. he puts the hard karate techniques in a creative way for all of us to understand. thanks a lot!

[@ChampionsKarateDojo]

Appreciate it 🙏

[@jokerrenamamiya9728]

I starting learning martial arts recently and these videos really help. Now I'm watching every lesson video to learn everything I need to know

[@ChampionsKarateDojo]

That’s very good. Keep up the training and you’ll see your progression.

[@rubyvosper4290]

I love doing this it is super fun and also learning to defend myself at the same time

[@ChampionsKarateDojo]

Those are a couple main reasons why I’ve been training in karate for over 30 years. Keep practicing!

[@oguz_han_1907]

I had taken aikido training for 1-2 years when I was a child. I felt the same way as when I was a child. Thank you for your efforts.

[@cheatbluevii9123]

I chose to wield the knifehand instead of the fist, but I found myself lacking in technique. I decided to look up a style that uses the knifehand and I found that karate uses it (although not so much). So here I am, learning techniques from you.

[@davit898]

Thank you very much Sensei✨🌟

[@ChampionsKarateDojo]

Thank you for watching. There is a new lesson out right now! Comment on that video and tell me your thoughts on the lesson

[@ChampionsKarateDojo]

I’m very happy to hear that. Thank you for watching and commenting.

[@CDGames08]

I just finished lesson 1 and it was great. I already know some kick boxing but i wanted to learn a martial art where strength isnt behind every move since im not muscular or anything. I especially want to learn karate so I can protect others, like right now someone at my church is being stalked. Usually I cant really do anything do too my short and kinda skinny physique, its getting annoying and i want to be able to protect those who cant protect themselves. Anyway sorry for yapping but i feel like these videos/lessons of yours will help me do that.

[@BobbyGuerrant]

Thanks🥋

[@Molt-d2x]

The reason why I watch his videos is so I can learn karate for self defence

[@MOTIVATION76SOUTH]

Thankyou so much now i know how to defend my self

[@ChampionsKarateDojo]

[@shivanichetty5430]

Sensei Chris, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I really appreciate your videos. How long should a beginner train for in a day?

[@ChampionsKarateDojo]

Thank you for watching. I’d recommend starting of about 30 minutes a day. Include stretching to help with flexibility

[@ItzJustAlfieee]

thank you so much sir i started from the starting and i am trying to keep up with you thank you so much sir

[@goharsaif5516]

I love that you are teaching us .I am learning a lot from you. Per lesson how much time shall we spend for practice

[@ChampionsKarateDojo]

Thank you for watching. It is difficult to to give an exact time because everyone is different. Some people will understand and get really good very quick and others may have to work much longer to get good. I still have my black belts practice basic white belt techniques. You could never go wrong with extra practicing.

Are you supposed to block your own elbow strike when in a fight like in this video, or is it just for practice?

@@possiblydeclan the open hand is you imagining grabbing your opponents head and using your elbow to strike.

[@ChampionsKarateDojo]

@@haithemdz5523 when teaching my students techniques or combos I would have them work on it for 2-3 days and then revisit the techniques every couple weeks. Longer and harder combos I’ll have my students work on it for an entire week and again redo the lesson. Repetition is key to getting better
