[@thammons80]

personally ...I would say i don't prefer mawashi geri strikes with the top of the foot, obviously its valid strike either way of course, I studied sho-rei ryu here in the U.S. and TKD and some various other styles through the years... but i was trained to use the ball of the foot while curling the toes back so you don't break them as it has a more concentrated point of impact...the power penetrates more in a kick to the ribs or stomach rather than the top flat of the foot, and also even if your leg is blocked you still have the reach from the extension of the foot rather than having to extend the top of the foot , you get to the point of power at the centerline a few inches faster due to the closer distance of the striking point. also in sho-rei the mawashi geri ..off of a back leg for instance, we were trained to lift up from the back sooner. for example...our sensei basically said do zen kutsu dachi , place a chair roughly chudan level and in front of the kicking leg.( back leg) .bring the leg up over the chair with the knee pointing to the intended target , that's when you hit the hip rotation/ extension into the kick and return back to the zen kutsu dachi exactly in the same manner over the chair. one of the logical reasons he gave us for this was when you are in a real situation you never will know if you may wind up having to kick over a table, chair, log, etc. it helps train balance, and leg strength as well ..if you haven't ever tried it I would say its a highly recommended addition to your arsenal.

[@harolramos4652]

This kick has been the most problematic to me. Very well explain, many details to practice. Thanks a lot.

[@bencebuda4599]

My boggart is Yoko geri keage but doing Mawashi with koshi is pretty hard too... toe killer 🤣

[@Menyhard]

I’m 54 right now and I have been training a very long time. I’m not say this sir. I wish I have this 20/years ago. One of my favorite kicking techniques is the Shotokon kicks. Thank you sir you never to old to learn something new. Right. God bless

[@Vincentorix]

You are the first instructor who mentioned bending the back knee when kicking. Thanks for the tip.

[@donelmore2540]

I, many years ago, heard the story that when mainland Japanese came back from Korea, they brought back the roundhouse kick. When they brought it back, some Senior exclaimed, “Don’t accept! Don’t accept!” I think that using the instep is a more recent adaptation for Shotokan. In my observation, the Koreans have used the instep traditionally. In Karate-Do Kyohan (written by Master Funakoshi in the 1930’s-as I recall), the Mawashi-Geri is done with the ball of the foot.

[@MinhPham-io2rt]

I strongly believe in what you said. So do Norther Chinese Kungfu kicks with instep and fully extended hips and legs while Souther styles hit with ball of the foot/toe tip with rather shortened leg.

[@sassuki]

Koreans didn't have a similar martial art to begin with, so fake story.

[@donelmore2540]

@@sassukiI read a story years ago by a TKD Senior who said that there was no difference between TKD and Shotokan-nothing.

[@sassuki]

@@donelmore2540 yes, very similar. General Choi learned the Shotokan Style in Japan and brought it back to Korea. Now it is called Taekwondo for political reasons.

[@acronym8273]

Not true. The Koreans traditionally used and still use ball of the foot. See tang Soo do, ITF TaeKwonDo

[@riannsusanswart6555]

I really like the concept of the point of impact being slightly "airborne" so as to get your full weight into the kick but I can imagine that it takes a lot of practice to get the timing right... for now I think I'll focus on trying to kick anything higher than Gedan height without my hips "pinching" me lol - getting old is such fun :)

[@Docinaplane]

I found that saving the hip till the last possible moment then violently turning the hips gives me the most powerful kicks.

[@OnkelOh]

Thanks!

BRO,THE CORE TIPS IS REALLY HELPFUL,BEFORE THAT MY BALANCE IS VERY UNSTABLE,BUT BECAUSE YOU KNOW IM VERY MOTIVATED TO LEARN KARATE AGAIN,THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@Abluemoon9112]

Very good explanation of the karate roundhouse kick. I was always wondering why you kick with the knee bent, now I know. The sliding roundhouse kick is what I do in taekwondo all the time. We also do it with the front leg as well.

[@Elektrifekt]

What an amazing Sensei. I am so glad I took private lessons to improve.

[@roter-m]

Very good explanation and introduction to the Mawashi Geri. Very helpful and already confirms some of my training methods. Thanks

[@aaronmesecher3013]

I'd like to take the time to thank you for your videos and tutorials they help me so much find the stance posture and ethics that I'm after in my marshal arts experience. Along with pronunciation and history so thank you very much

[@Turbulent2000]

Hi Yusuke! Nice explanation! What I realized during my training over the years, is that when you straighten the hip joint of the kicking leg before the impact (and there is always an angle), it gives you additional power and distance. And pivoting the supporting leg simultaneously with a knee lifting gives you a super nice speed. Please, explain ura-mawashi and ushiro mawashi. There are many variations as well, but it would be great to know how they are being taught in Japan. Btw, it's a great topic about the kicks, with tips and tricks for them. Domo arigato gozaimasu!

[@diosdadoapias]

Sensie, You kick almost like or like TKD. They start roundhouse kick like a frontal kick and then twist the foreleg, as the standing leg and body twist to turn also, to impart a kick with the in-step of the foot to the side of the body or head. I saw also a Shotokan demo of doing a round kick and is done lifting the knee on the side, which like opening the legs on the side and from there kick a roundhouse kick using the ball of the feet as impact point. I practice the round-kick like kicking a frontal side-kick with a curve direction from the rear to the front with the ball of the feet, in-step or the shin as impact point. I used the ball of the feet when I am barefoot so I can impart the ball of the foot to the target, and also the in-step or shin. But I usually practice kicking with my shoes on so I used the tip or toe of the shoe as impact point, then the in-step and the shin.

[@STROBdotNET]

Nice tips! Doumo! One I learn too for my specific case was to time correctly the movement of the thigh with the unfolding of the lower leg which almost doubled the force of the impact (we must not position the thigh and then unfold the leg but do both at the same time).

[@rishacrow99]

great video......already subscribed ....i used to do Shito-ryu karate till 8 Kyu

[@fred9796]

I used to consider my karate-type mawashi geri my least powerful roundhouse kick until I added the "jump" you show at the end. I think I already did something like that unconsciously trying to generate more force at the moment of the impact, but doing it with intention is a whole different thing. Great video!

[@landoftheninja]

Thank you so much bro. My white guy hips made this kick really hard but the step by step helped a lot!

[@joeyereneta1746]

Any tips on opening/loosening the hips to kick higher? (My hip flexibility is very bad.) I have been training Shotokan karate for 7 months, and doing a lot of hip and leg stretches before each class, but my yoko geri keage and kekomi are barely at waist level and my mawashi geri is awful. I will practice your technical recommendations for beginner and intermediate mawashi geri, but wondering if there are any good ways to slowly unlock the hips, so i can keep good vertical posture and kick higher over time and practice. Many thanks!

[@sassuki]

You don't need more than Chudan for Keage. And your posture does not need to stay vertical when kicking high. I would even say that's impossible, even for people with flexible hips. Check this stretching video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3-WpHuho85knas

Hi Yusuke, we recently learned (or should I say tried to learn?) Gyaku-Mawashi-Geri. The gyaku-version is a funny kick as you would not expect it as an opponent. You start from the inside and kick to the outside. May You show us in another video? Together with Ura-Mawashi-Geri?

It's coming as a #shorts soon!

[@bencebuda4599]

@@KarateDojowaKu isn't it the Uchi Mawashi Geri tho? It's kinda interesting, I learnt it under that name. (And yes, I'm also learning Shotokan.)

What about the hook kick side kick from the back leg. Is it the same way as you did the. Round house kick

[@rodgermoore1321]

I have some of the older books by Nakayama that show the ball of the foot being used in the mawashi geri. Do you ever do this?

[@RonaldHolt-lz4st]

the ball of the foot version is strong and penetrates in a smaller area but is a bit slower and harder to learn for beginners...I teach both ways... cheers!

I just came back to training, it has been a bit rough, I've been struggling with my mawashi geri, I was able to do both mawashi geri and ura mawashi geri with ease 17 years ago, now my hips feel stuck and my center of gravity feels off, will stretching help to get back where I was? Also my legs are more heavy compared to my old self, I'm more muscular now.

[@igorbakovic5451]

Greetings sensei. Would you recommend the ''slide jump'' technique for the hiza geri to the body?

[@chengfu7063]

Yusuke well done as always as but it is better to implore various uses of any technique from any striking position always at the ready high low standing ground or air of course waste rotationing is a certain Plus for power and overall making the most out of yourself as you are the art like all techniques this one is a favorite bass kick because of its various uses you can do it standing you can do it spinning you can do it in the air you can do it on the ground keep on all the best on your journey and exploring various techniques be well 👊👍

[@myhlo3956]

Hey so when I do a round kick do I need to make my legs straight when I extend my leg and if I do then how do I get my legs to be straight when I extend them

[@nimeshmagar9391]

Excuse me what should we do if we can't balance with one leg and also have broken a leg

[@ekku1979]

The mawashigeri is a very risky kick if you don't teach yourself to retract the leg quickly after impact (unless you go all in in which case you have to continue striking not to be exposed to the opponent). Some martial arts have specific techniques to catch a sloppy mawashigeri and throw you.

[@rubengarza9544]

Great tutorial but you didn't mention about retracting your leg after hitting the target and the landing of the kicking leg.

[@angeluzerrare8170]

One thing that I did differently was that I hit with the sole specially of the toes so I can get between the ribs. Is it another waza or just wrong ?

That's okay too!

Should the knee not come up in a straight line,rather than chamber from a 45 degree angle?

Straight for Kumite, from the side for self-defense and close range

I kick with my foot bent back, curl my toes, and kick with the ball of the foot. This is especially effective to get around someone's elbow and kick the kidneys, spleen or liver.

That is not traditional shotokan mawashi geri, shotokan roundhouse is always comes from the side horizontaly traveling into a circle. Shotokan mawashi geri is lifting your kicking leg horizonataly at your side, then kick with spring action returning it back to the side of the body.

Intermediate drill: I usually prefer to roundhouse kick + ushiro geri

[@bieneulm1982]

Isn´t the version of mawashi geri you´re showing the one for competition? Since the area you´d normally be hitting with, would be the "Chusoku" (or "ball of the foot")? The Knee of the kicking leg is used to aim at the opponent, you only move it to that point, not beyond that. And the hip rotation starts at the point where the forefoot is being snapped our extending beyond the knee to hit the opponent. That is at least what all my teachers taught me. No offence or a reproach. OSSU.

[@KarateDojowaKu]

Oh no no, it's very practical as well. Not just for competitions. Of course you can use the ball of the foot to kick as well.

[@bieneulm1982]

@@KarateDojowaKu We learned it exactly as I described in two versions. One for competition and the one with the ball of the foot for self defense (because of it´s harder impact, due to smaller hitting area) ^^ But: My mawashi geri looks horrible by now. So I do not intend to critize you xD.

[@sassuki]

@@KarateDojowaKu I think you misunderstood. What you have shown is the competition version because you have the distance to lift your knee to the front. Your kick is also faster when done to the front. For self-defense and close range, it is impossible to do the competition version, there is not enough space for that, that's where the standard version comes in, where you lift your knee to the side like so: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bWewmHV8i6ydn6c So it's not a "beginner" thing.

[@tonystartup3817]

Horses for courses. Best to learn both and apply what is most sensible in that moment. Hard to kick with the ball of your feet when wearing shoes. Also kicking to the head would make more sense with the top of your foot whereas into the kidneys might make more sense with your ball

[@tonystartup3817]

@@sassuki come on, in that video your linked there are very few people that could physically pull off a kick like that whilst at that close range. It takes a pretty extreme level of flexibility and to say that it is the self defense version of the kick is hard to believe. Who thinks of doing a round kick to somebody's head in a self defense situation whilst they are standing literally on top of them? Anyone sensible would only do a roundhouse kick from at least arms length and if there wasn't enough space would either create the space necessary or would do a different technique (like strike with knee)

[@bogse]

To knock out someone its better kick roundhouse kick with the ball of your feet, there is more force. But you know, only if someone is threatening your life or you are protecting someone.
