Which was YOUR favorite kick? 🥋Join my ONLINE GROUP LESSONS and receive personal feedback!🥋 Program Details: karateintokyo.com/ Any questions or concerns? → Email me at [e-mail]

[@edelweiss9467]

Side kick, imo is one of those simple but reliable kicks. It can be launched fairly quickly, can be easily feinted or cancelled outright, and can be used in multiple ranges (besides grappling range I guess, although you could still try to use it to push for distance). But that's coming from someone who wasn't exactly taught properly, so.... grain of salt?

[@lotusshadow2473]

Hi sensei, are the first few kicks warm up kicks or that is how they actually do front kick; with no bending of legs? Also when kicking, what's the difference in results if my standing foot is flat compared to "tip toe". As for my favourite kick, it is front kick same reason as karin first motion can be used as front kick or quickly shift to a roundhouse, or sidekick.

[@yumanbantawaa4248]

yoku geri and ushiro geri .hlo I'm from Nepal 😊

[@ilgenis]

The back thrust.

[@MayorofAlexanderplatz]

The low kick and mid kick combo

[@zomuankimakhawlhring5366]

I like the fact that even though you're a black belt in karate, your approaching this with an empty cup.

[@KarateDojowaKu]

There is always something new to learn!

[@TchallaKilmonger]

Love that attitude sensei, I try too carry that with me

[@JSwanKilowJ]

A black belt is just a serious white belt.

[@arthemas8176]

A real black belt then. Not someone to boast the color of his belt

[@hariszukic3037]

Sanda sidekicks are savage!

[@talmagetaylor5226]

I love that you have so much respect for other arts as to try them out. I wish all martial artists were like you

[@KarateDojowaKu]

Thanks! Anything has its pros and cons, so it's not smart to neglect a style completely. There is always something to learn.

[@SenseiSeth]

Can't wait for these next couple vids!

[@mr.incredible9647]

Yeah

[@justas423]

unexpected crossover

[@marcuscs2484]

Sanshou is normal chinese fighting (application of Kung Fu) and Sanda is sport fighting or sport kung fu. Also, the hammer kicks in the beginning are for dynamic stretching lol.

[@luciusnetheril]

This is surprising to me-that the hip pushing exercise is something new to a karate practitioner! We even have it in full contact ju-jutsu, so I've always assumed it was among the basic exercises of karate

[@heckyeah8292]

I've always wanted to learn Sanshou. While they rely so much on flexibility, they also maintain effective sparring strategies. And also, this is my first time noticing that your shins have marks. Sensei, I'd really appreciate it if you would share the shin strength training.

[@thunderinglions]

Good to see the younger generation carrying the torch, and enjoying their training. Best wishes.

[@nicksalvatore5717]

I love your open mind! You are one of my favorite content creators. I practice kickboxing and Brazilian jiu-jitsu, but I love karate and practice many techniques from other martial arts on my own :)

[@johnhendricks8140]

Interesting to hear you breakdown the different process of how you kick in karate as to how they chamber a kick in Sanda.

[@TheNakedWombat]

When I studied TKD, we did chamber exercises aiming for the knee, abdomen, chest and head. For kicking the inner thigh, I practiced a quick skip forward on the outside of a rear stance kick to tap the opponent's inner thigh with the top of my foot from a small angle from behind them, with the intention(if it a real fight) of using the momentum of my body moving to deliver the strike.

[@hugopedroso5247]

Yusuke-san. You´re a inspiration! Respect for other arts, training them to improve yourself as a better human being! Thanks a lot for bringing to the world a new way about seeing, understanding and developing martial arts!

[@Mr.5hady]

This guy seems like a really good trainer, wish we would have more Sanda schools in Sweden

[@bongkem2723]

that "yoko geri" from sanda is freaking powerful, it's litterally bone-breaking !!! check Cung Le kicks and you'll see it's not a push at all !!!

[@NYKgjl10]

I love the duck walk exercise. Prior to my Kyokushin Karate, I was practicing Praying Mantis wah lum Kung Fu for almost a year and a half and we did just that along with the mae keage exercise with your foot straight up without bending the knees. Love your videos and will subscribe. Keep up the good work KDW!!

[@jean4j_]

Your background is very interesting to me. I practiced Wado-Ryu Karate for 10 years, I've had a break for a while now, I wanted to get back to martial arts. Out of curiously I wanted to try Kung Fu style and I had a trial class in praying mantis Kung Fu (actually it was more a sanda class for that day). I'm also very unrested in Kyokushin. I did few classes too. How would you compare praying mantis and Kyokushin in terms of fighting applications? I'd love to read your feedback, thank you in advance

[@NYKgjl10]

To me, from my Karate teacher, we do fighting applications from bunkai self protection, deep understanding on techniques kihons to sparring techniques to no end and I feel that Its more applicable than Wah lum kung fu as they concentrate more on the aerobics, stances, e.t.c...But then again, thats my experience. Every MA teacher is different.

[@forcewayne9884]

Love this Sanda series! would love to see you try other arts like vovinam, judo, & japanese shootboxing.

[@gingercore69]

I did sanda, this brings memories

[@Zen-ep6mc]

generally speaking, the kicks in Sanda is called 鞭腿 (whip kick), that's why you kick and flick back quickly.

[@Himynameish]

I actually play taekwando and i see karate interesting we have the same moves and kicks

[@NexusJunisBlue]

Thank you for exploring Sanda!

[@tjftor]

One of your best videos, this video shows how amazing your kicking skills are ! Please post more videos like this one, thank you.

[@KarateDojowaKu]

Thanks, will do!

[@aspreedacore]

You made martial arts interesting in a partial way of that makes sense. If I tried any of this I’ll probably break my joints and be in a hospital I’m so out of shape🥲

[@DarylDSpivey]

I think it’s very cool how open you are to different styles of martial arts. So many people aren’t. Would love to see you guys do an Kendo class.

[@ignacioteran4353]

Sensei i would love to see you reacting to Bruce Lee vs Chuck Norris fight scene ❤

[@KarateDojowaKu]

Haha I will see if I can do that!

[@AK41]

Great to see you exploring and trying out Sanshou! Only thing I found was this is definitely not a beginner friendly class even though you have Karate experience. Especially the catching round house kick exercise, i can see that its an awkward movement. I feel the teacher could use more beginner friendly drills as some of these drills are more for intermediate/advanced levels

[@ChineseWrestlingCeKungFu]

Great job, guys!!!!

[@janitraclan5643]

Been sparred with some sanda athletes, i noticed that they have unique side kick, especially with their lead leg, the supporting leg slide forward while doing the kick, then backward after the kick hit.

[@magdolnavida2717]

Loved it!

[@tjftor]

Minh needs to get a KZbin channel

[@hoodlum4511]

You are an amazing Sensei!!!

[@BrunoSCosta-jj3ui]

The video is very good, I'm a Sanda instructor in Brazil, it's interesting to see the training method in other countries. Keep up the good work.

[@leledumbo]

Both the roundhouse and side kick chambering is similar if not the same as Taekwondo. It differs in the last step only, where in Taekwondo we usually don't hold the pivot for fluidity and easier launch of subsequent kicks. Here, they hold for balance, I guess.

[@dariuslithav7990]

Going Tru your old videos. Trying to learn different things. Thank you.

[@ssmd7449]

Good job bro. Awesome video

[@brianjohnson4616]

I remember the Chinese gentlemen's way doing mawashi geri and kekomi geri was taught 30 years ago at JKA Chicago. The emphasis was on the mawashi with the heel higher than toes and kicking 'downhill' with strong hip pull-back/flick-back. I always assumed this was approved by Mr. Nakayama and Mr. Nishiyama. It is probably a good rule to not assume! I do like the team warm up exercise of rotating the hip and driving forward - nice.

[@Zack1440]

Great video!

[@Bj-yf3im]

In Muay Thai and Kung Fu, it is common to use a mawashi geri followed by a mae geri both to trick the opponent and get out of the leg grab.

[@iComeInPeace8]

I'm not sure if you know this already but for the warm-up kicks, try using your lower abdomen (basically your pelvis) to thrust your legs up. You'll generate power without over working your groin and hip flexors. You can also use this with other kicks as well. I really enjoy your insights into the techniques!

[@simonostlund8165]

very good and informative video, nice work!

[@KarateDojowaKu]

Thank you!

[@fighternk13]

Great video 🔥🔥🔥

[@phamphammanhquynh174]

Fantasic i love it tks

[@tjftor]

What is the name of the sanda teacher in video? Does he have KZbin channel ? Thanks

[@KarateDojowaKu]

He is Minh, but he doesn't have a KZbin channel..

[@Anonymous.android]

I can’t speak much in Chinese kickboxing however I can tell you that the club I joined for a whole 2 sessions almost killed me with their circuit training

[@majdikamal1389]

Sensi , I really believe that you need to explore a style called Kudo karate . I hope you can talk about it in the future.

[@markgraham4732]

Good, good!!!!

[@joren6150]

Maybe you should make this a series where you try different martial arts Great video btw 👍

[@christopherchow6840]

I think it world be cool if he went to a muay Thai gym, slightly different in terms of style, but very different in terms of sparring depending on whether the gym practices traditional, Dutch or an amalgamation of styles.

[@raynerben3843]

OSS!! KarateMMA is ON the way🥋🥊

[@burningknuckle26]

Sanda kicks are fast and swift. Great sidekicks too

[@Liliquan]

These styles are created to score points and so the attacks are fast but insubstantial. No good in a real fight but super effective in a tournament.

[@yumanbantawaa4248]

Nice .

[@Smokie1306]

i love sanda 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@aleksander8320]

I don't understand using just a foot in roundhouse kick for example Its not generating force that we need to hurt our oponent its good in front kick or side kick but in roundhouse kick or low kick we need to use tibia (my opinion)

[@KarateDojowaKu]

I thought that it was very valuable in a sense that I must rerecognize the importance of training the foot snap!

[@diegoalejandro9934]

Using the foot has greater range advantage, you can kick higher, and usually faster not to mention its easier to add combination kicks however it is true kicking with the shin offers greater power

[@bippins]

I mean you can use both right, just have to find the correct range for each one

[@aoshi3000]

excellent video . i just realize that my kekomi looks like a sanda kekomi kick since i just chanber very high and push explosively, i just prefer that way than traditional . i look fowad next video . "bow"

[@KarateDojowaKu]

Nice new finding! Keep it up!

[@alansaldivar6323]

buen video saludos desde España :3

[@arieffalah6845]

Looks hurt but great!

[@degosiompu8411]

Beatiful

[@CrossingFist]

Sanda's kicks are heavily influenced by Taekwondo. Sanda is the best Chinese Martial Art, and the irony is that it's basically a blend of Western Boxing, Taekwondo, and wrestling, with some Shuaijiao takedowns in the mix. Shuaijiao might be a good martial art for you to check out. I've been in the Chinese Martial Arts for over 20 years, and Sanda and Shuaijiao are the ones I recommend.

[@ysmma8627]

Lol learn your MA more pls. Sanda has majority of its techniques deep rooted in traditional Chinese martial arts.

[@CrossingFist]

@@ysmma8627 In the beginning Sanda drew from Choy Li Fut, Wing Chun, Long Fist, and Shuaijiao. But if you look at the fixed, modern Sanda curriculum, it really is derived mainly from boxing, wrestling, and Taekwondo. It’s why Sanda practitioners have much better sidekicks, roundkicks, and spinning back kicks than traditional CMA guys. And yes, I know that all of those techniques exist in CMA.

[@tjl4688]

@@CrossingFist Side kicks are a big part of Choy Li Fut.

[@CrossingFist]

@@tjl4688 Yeah, I know. I did 3 1/2 years of Choy Li Fut. But modern Sanda throws Taekwondo side kicks and roundkicks. It has a very fixed curriculum. The best Sanda fighters in China come out of the Physical Culture University system, and all of the Universities are teaching an identical Sanda curriculum to their teams. And that curriculum uses kicks primarily derived from Taekwondo, with some Muay Thai influence. That’s why they throw a lot of rear leg sidekicks, which is big in Taekwondo. Ramsey Dewey did a video on his time training with the Sanda teams at a few universities. He said most of them were also training in traditional martial arts, and he said the most popular traditional arts they cross trained in were Muay Thai and Taekwondo, though he also came across Sanda teams that trained in Kyokushin and Taijiquan.

[@KenpoKid77]

@2:14 In my dojo we call those duck walks, but we stopped doing those decades ago...too many knee injuries. I'm surprised people still do them

[@KarateDojowaKu]

Oh you get injured by doing this? Were there any other knee exercises you were doing that might’ve put too much tension?

[@muhammadizhambinismail3088]

I think the real cause is lack of flexibility. Yes, if you are not flexible enough at the hip, your knee will strain.

[@zenroy_9029]

Reaction Karate Kyokushin

[@mauriciom8430]

Sanda is basically Muay Thai with the Chinese knowledge of Kung Fu. So there is no Sanda schools near me but I spent years learning Kung Fu so now I take Muay Thai and many techniques are also done in Muay Thai but more for combat than for sport. Muay Thai is mostly sport now but you become deadly because they condition your chins, fists and elbows for fighting.

[@gepardmic6003]

:-D Having fun training is the most important. I trust a teacher like him :-) 7:00 side kick balance, what i hear you say are water element balance. Water Centre are where Energy flows free in any directions. Means Tai chi use this force a lot in basic all movements. When you balance are like floating and not rebalance in slow kicks, you know the feeling. :-) Air Element balance are for free movement, also known as in Teakwondo. (The way they move in light movement). Air element movement are good for a lot of power build, like Bruce Lee, whit out it he will not be able to be that fast.

[@jeffdoeskungfu]

interesting hip turn drill!

[@jrnav8490]

bravo 😄

[@KarateDojowaKu]

Thanks!

[@childerico1426]

I have always considered Sanshou a great fighting style. Is sanshou old? Karate is old but what about Sanshou? What are sanshou origins?

[@user-go6gs8ui1q]

basically chinese MMA

[@burningknuckle26]

It's chinese kickboxing. Chinese military took all the efficient parts of Kung fu plus Chinese wrestling and other Chinese arts to make sanda.

[@sethmcdonald4]

But its also good learning new things

[@Docinaplane]

Try to chamber the side kick by bringing your knee to you chest. See how powerful that it.
