Shotokan Karate Kumite Techniques

@kcBombe Keep with your training! :) I'm 18 years old and been in Goju Ryu for almost 13 years now, it works so many wonders. The fact that you're only twelve and believe in a lot of practice and training shows you are going to have a fruitful life in Karate Do. Don't let it squander.

[@TopGunGEneral]

@berner Shotokan does have deeper stances but that's mainly for traditional kata. I study shotokan and I believe it is a pretty brutal style. I am a brown belt at the moment.

[@ColRaze]

@Artandor The shouting, is actually used for the sudden exhalation of air, which moves the diaphram, allowing the stomach muscles to tense. providing protection to the abdomen should you take a hit there while attacking. If you don't release that air you have a very high chance of being winded. The shout also eases your nerves, and reminds you to breath. as a lot of amatuer fighters hold their breath while attacking. too focused on assault. and pass out.

[@TopGunGEneral]

@Artandor the shouting, or KIA, is like Chi. It increases the power and strength of your attacks making them for damaging and painful.

[@mooseven]

Surely the second technique in the video, the leg catch, relied on the opponent kicking lightly into the shoulder rather than hard into the head? The catch and sweep only worked because the "tori" kicked into his shoulder - which is something unlikely since round kicks are usually to the head or ribs?

[@McLainACS1978]

What are you disagreeing about? GSP,Machida, Silva,etc. are not limited to Karate they practice MMA. MMA is a combination of all the disciplines. If you only used Karate in an MMA fight you'd get your ass kicked.

[@erodebucket]

that second technique is awesome!.. if he's aiming at your shoulder...

[@nogek]

@s0ulshad0w I'm talking about the sweep at 0:22 and repeated in slow-mo at 0:38. The defender sweeps the front of the attacker's leg, about 20cm below the knee. I call that shin. The part where the shin and foot meet is called "ankle". Either way, it's sweeping into hard bone. I've never seen a Judo-ka do a sweep against the shin and those guys are experts on sweeping.

[@CPMichael100]

Thanks alot I needed this for my grading your a life saver

[@lewisdemetriou]

The man on the right taught me. Rich cope. He seems aggressive but it's only cause of how passionate he was, out of it he was one of the nicest guys you could meet! Rip x

[@TheLaffey01]

this i what i have to do in my next class a kata and defenive techniques for my grading

[@ademiranda2]

Who gave the camera to Michael J. Fox?

[@blackwater43]

no this is not aggression, he is being firm with his motions. you need to scream, it helps with your punches. aggression is the thing that can get you hurt. you need to keep calm and keep eye contact

[@s0ulshad0w]

@nogek you don't hit the shin there, you hit the part where the shin and the foot meet

[@nogek]

Some of the sweeps were good, but a couple were real crunch techniques. The second set had a sweep to the front of the shin: must have hurt the sweeper and an inefficient way to sweep. One of them was against the side of the knee where there is little give, especially if the stance is rooted - it's an attack to the knee, fine for real world applications but for every day practice could easily cause serious damage.

[@MegaMoh]

But in the karate training, our captain said we cant grapple/hold in karate, then why is he grabbing the other guy

[@Patcherson]

dont know where your fighting out of but in ireland you get a point for it under some sets of rules

[@levicampbell8337]

i will use these techniques domo arigato gozai masta.

[@EcuadorianFlagShip]

I honestly enjoy practicing this at my school. However its sad, no one takes it seriously and our sensei is never around. I always knew that you could sweep the leg as a counter to kicks. I wish we did Kumite more often, but really, we hardly ever do. 2 months ago we had a half assed tournament. I got champion in my division, and a friend in general (all). He is a black belt in Tae Kwon Do. But he sucks at kumite, had I fight him I know I could have gotten him. I honestly wish i could do more.

[@maofas]

A lot of these defenses are relying on the kicker to throw the roundkick into his shoulder for a scoop and aren't coming horizontal into his head with intention.

[@HairofSteel555]

Has anyone else ever noticed you can tell a persons experience from their hands. Younger Karateka always have tight closed fists, where as older more experienced karateka tend to have their hands loose. Not saying this is 100% true, just a quick observation.

[@lawmaralte7116]

good Techniques

[@ANZACJugger0]

@Artandor Its because its supposed to inimidate the opponent, lots of martial styles do it, Silat for instance does some ye olde boxers did it as well think of it as Japanese smack talk lol

[@reipinnioco]

This is really helpful for me :D

[@ZEN824]

techniques must be simple,easy to execute,effective and yet destructive. some of the techniques in this video deosn't reach this. but many does!! :)...

[@Kasunkass]

in the slow motion kiyai is like a barrrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaa

[@MrKarateka123]

I liked the first counter move :-D

[@Blitsun]

@20nineaug94 Quite wrong. When was the last time you asked the guys that invented the thing? The Japanese are quite quite particular about the formality of bowing, in general. My instructors come from the source- straight from the hips of Gishin Funakoshi. Whatever filtered down UFC ideas are floating around therse days are a corruption.

[@zakaria600]

THANK'S FOR THIS ! :)

[@thinhhenry]

actually, no we shout while in a sparr or fight to claim the point for that attack

[@guird4]

see here's the thing, these are not the techniques in the katas. why are these effective techniques not there?

[@Soxerish]

I just got my green belt last Friday. :)

[@Simon0]

he sounds like the incredible hulk when it goes in slow motion! haha. how you gonna win against the incredible hulk. Its not possible.

[@jitteryjoe]

I love guys who have so little confidence in their actual combat effectiveness that they trawl the internet looking for small breaches of etiquette or techniques that don't look the same as their own. For the record, most Japanese karateka in the JKA at least boy without keeping eye contact because it is considered rude and suspicious to keep eye contact when you bow.

[@berner]

I thought shotokan had deeper stances?

[@checkyerself]

@ColRaze should be carefull with kiai, cause with the mouth open the jaw can get broken. I know someone this happened to.

[@hghgyufguyfg]

your only allowed to show eye contact when your going to compettion not in the dojo because if you bow with eye contact in the dojo your not showing trust

[@Blitsun]

I started watching and then had to stop a few seconds in: TOTAL LACK OF RESPECT! Who bows while keeping their eyes on their opponent? That is completely anti-traditional... and disrespectful. We show our partner the top of our head, and drop our eyes, as a sign of trust in them and their skill .

[@unknown4art34]

Waww.. keren coy. Ty...

[@DrCooper1992]

@MichaelTheSilageMan Sure.....okay...Whatever floats your boat man...

[@TheBronx98]

@HerbicidalManiac bruce lee says never take you eye off the oppent even when bowing i do shotokan karate to i am 6.dan

[@ArdemashRED]

@wskfqld yeah cause he blokced that second mawashi wrong and at that horride distance a real kick would have taken his head completely off.

[@ColRaze]

@checkyerself Very true ^^ which is why i don't particularly Kiai, i settle for a sharp exhalation of air, more of a "Hmpf." than a shout xD keep the jaw movement to a minimum :) Although in Kata, and other less combative excercises i will show my spirit with a proper Kiai

[@Simon0]

either incredible hulk.. or Chewbacca. one or the other.

[@armanyoo]

@wskfqld If you've trained in shotokan karate for your whole life like I did, training like this is an important basic, which will later be used more practically in higher national fighting tournaments, and street fights

[@roopa8216]

👍

[@DrCooper1992]

It is incorrect how they look at each other when they bow.......in Japan that is considered very rude. But good techniques.

[@xxOfficialEpicBlogxx]

Me gusta.

[@McLainACS1978]

Karate is great for self defense, but when they demonstrate their skills it's all just choreographed ! It would help defensively in a real fight but MMA/UFC have already proven it's not enough.

[@todaywithjerdin]

I disagree Shotokan Karate Has Made It quite far in the ufc look at Lyoto Machida Vitor Belfort and Big Foot Silva plus many more if you look at Kyokushin Karate Daughter Style of Shotokan GSP is a black belt as well as many other guys im not 100% sure but i think Bas Rutten also practiced Kyokushin

[@elliefrost1062]

todaywithjerdin hehe Lyoto Machida is my inspiration and i do a lot of kumite in competition (jka shotokan karate)

[@todaywithjerdin]

ok cool im in the jska

[@joshuaesparza2984]

Stephen Thompson is a good example of what Karate can do in MMA you just have to mix it with other arts that's why it's Mixed Martial ARTS lol

[@raresstoica97]

1:10 yes sure

[@janamswag]

This is Bunkai, not Kumite

[@Luigibett]

kiai seems Gozzilla

[@DrCooper1992]

@MichaelTheSilageMan Hmmm...."I think I read somewhere...." Yeah, that's pretty accurate buddy. Nice try.

[@goonersfanno1]

Do the ashi barai like you did in @0:20 and you WILL break your foot ;) DO NOT atack from that part of opponents leg ;)

[@zakardo]

why are you yelling all the time when you show your technices? i am a black belt shotokan JKA and we don't have to yell like that all the time...

[@danielbugg9568]

The thats attacking had the worst kick hand coordination ever, his hands are flying everywhere, but great techniques other than that, shall be adding these to the large collection! :-D

[@arfur76]

some people have no idea and are so simple and closed minded that they are concerned about why a bow is required... get a grip, it shows you have respect, without it your not a worthy opponent and belong in the other mac dojo's punching bags and learning nothing. I train in shotokan and a few of these techniques are familiar but its down to the clubs teaching not the style, read up on the history of all martial arts and you'll see. I wouldnt want to try and catch a roundhouse from our dans

[@blazerx900]

sadly in reality, the opponent would most likely recover as fast as they could

[@seni1975]

woooeeeerrr...

[@abasicgameenjoyer5798]

Look his a master at kumite im a karate 🧒 And i know this techniques im green belt

[@SerbianKickboxer969]

Why is a fucking bow so important -.-

[@kcBombe]

most ppl would think this is just a simple choreographed piece of shit,but realy it isnt,the truth is if u can make these techniques perfect within u then it will be easy to use them on the streets,im12, just a yellow belt in shotokan,ive gotten into a serious street fight,and at the end of the fight i sent the 14 yr old down with a straight gyaku zuki and then i finished him off while he was on the floor ,if u practise alot like me then ur reflexes will be based on proper effective strikes:)

[@tapion580]

whatever you say.

[@Eddylad2009]

gud i got a comp in 3 weeks :)

[@20nineaug94]

Traditional karate bow. Keep eye contact. You're either not a Karateka or you weren't taught right. Every dojo is doing the SAME thing.

[@Boran667]

Runaway godzila

[@MrApatchi]

Zakardo,,u dont know what ur saying..,,JKA karatedo's are thought to shout in da last attack,,like kata and tournament occasions to impress the judges...right??I think ur just pretending to be a black belt??huh??

[@sgrkuska]

lesser rank karate ka keeps eyes down,shows disrespect to look a higher rank in the eyes when bowing-that you don't trust them

[@tapion580]

-.-" No its not

[@redeyedragon00]

the very second technique is dumb never use it as it leaves the fae TOTALLY open a killed fighter e.g is able to control a kick at any position redirecting a to jodan is very easy. Technique would be better if two hands were used 1 as a block the other as a control. Poor execution OSU

[@Matt_Mosley1983]

too much slow-mo and b.s screaming

[@user-mi6hu9se1g]

This is an incorrect karate technique!! You cannot jump on the opponent with an unprotected head forward (under a counter blow), and instead of putting a block with your hands against the opponent's mawashi, you cannot try to catch his leg with your hand (leaving his head unprotected) etc. And then these karatekas with such an ugly technique are brutally beaten there are ordinary street hooligans on the street, and they complain that karate doesn't work.

[@Luigibett]

kiai wie Tarzan hahahhah

[@DrCooper1992]

@DrCooper1992 Rude to look somebody***

[@AdhithyaJino]

everyone actually believes that karate,kung fu,judo,taewkwondo etc. and all japan,china and brazil based martial arts are the best . well what you don't understand is that we indians are the ones who created these forms. we didn't go too public and kept it private to everyone except the chinese.these chinese improved it and stated that it was their martial art. its not true. our martial art [kalari payattu] is the mother of all martial arts and these techniques are nothing in front of the technique in kalari which includes nooku varmam[eye power], choondu varmam[power of pointing],uudu varmam [power of blowing ] which are techniques which can even paralyze or kill opponents without even touching them . the ideas of chi energy and 5 elements of world where already told by us before the chinese. and can you believe that are formulas of creating chi energy is true and is agreed by science while chinese chi energy is not proved yet and has no clear formulas.ours is more powerful too . our weapons were better than any ones at that time. so these karate techniques are nothing in front of kalari payatu. so shooooooooo off and JAI HIND !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! we are Indians which no British can touch if you don't believe what i said then search it and believe it !

[@madhufull]

hahaha lol :) Hey guys, please believe that all the martial arts, dance arts ,musics ,paintings and what the other arts exist in the world are created by indians.

[@madhufull]

Your filthy words are showing you don't have any valid points for your claims and you are not worthy at all

[@KomandoKenan]

the Queen of England is also Indian. LOL

[@todaywithjerdin]

Not sure if i was just trolled?!?!?
