Kevin Hart Tried Karate and it was Pretty Awful

Rebel's Australian accent threw you Seth. She said "all STYLE novice martial arts tournament". Not all star. The other belt was a team color belt in all likelihood, although it might have been her "medal". Prizes were notoriously cheap for those events back then.

[@veiledallegory]

Back then, like it was a long time ago. Hahahaha!

[@rupin]

American moment

[@craigjomaia]

@@veiledallegory To be fair, the prizes are still mostly cheap crap in most tournaments in Oz. But my experience with them is from 35+ years ago. Rebel is in her forties so hers was probably nearly thirty years ago judging from the picture. So yeah, "back then".

[@hbriem]

It used to be very common to distinguish contestants by having one of them wear a red belt over their own. The referees would have a red flag and a white flag to signal points or penalties for one or the other.

[@wloffblizz]

I like Kevin Hart, but this series of his is really unbearable to me. I hate the way he shows zero respect to the people who take their time to teach their sport or art and basically makes fun of everything he tries. Yes, I realize it's all a joke and a gag, but it just comes off as obnoxious to me. You can make jokes and have fun trying something new without being a prick about it and disrespecting the others.

[@senseisethreacts]

I don’t usually feel this way but I did kind of feel this way about this one

[@ajwall1]

I know they're trying to be entertaining but Kevin was just being disrespectful half the time. He should've been as respectful here as he would be in a boxing gym

[@bacul165]

I live how Rebel actually looked shocked at 8:07 - like everybody who has ever taken classes in a serious dojo would

[@iputsumcuminyourmum9755]

He's joked around in boxing gyms too.

[@Dreambrainergaming]

[@ajwall1]

@@Dreambrainergaming he seems to really care about being respectful in his own chosen sport, boxing, and I would expect him to be just as respectful here. Some humor is fine but I would've actually appreciated seeing him treat this situation the same he would at a boxing gym

[@gracekaram4947]

"Oh, he took taekwondo nice"🤣🤣🤣 oh man, this was great, I also love how whenever you saw Kevin suck at something, you did the exact same technique perfectly. Great stuff!

[@johnelliott9823]

I know belt ranks don't work that way, but she already had a yellow belt, and she remembered kata 1 and the 'num-chucks', so I feel okayish. If it was a club in this town they'd let her keep the yellow and just leave her there until she caught up. Chalk it up to "adjusting to standards". my guess as to style of the sensei is hapkido, which, while the pedigree is contentious, everyone agrees it has a daito-ryu like influence which I don't see that often outside of some jujutsu schools and aikdo of course, but the strikes are more karate like than what I've seen for hapkido

[@douglasmacneil4474]

Looks like tang soo do

[@dirgniflesuoh7950]

Fun part is the difference in what a yellow belt means. (Where I used to train yellow meant training four terms, four kyu tests, meaning testing out three katas with bunkai ((Tachi Kata) Fukyu Gata Dai Ichi and Fukyu Gata Dai Nie, and Gekisai Dai Ichi)... then you trained another to get a black stripe on it, and then at least one more to finally get a green one ... Where I train now yellow is one term, Takyuko Shodan, Nidan and Sandan, and Heian Shodan in the test.) But I start to wonder if this is not actually a stunt school? Sort of funny anyway. And she has the body memory there, that is interesting.

[@wildwaymartialarts]

to be fair modern karate has a lot of Savate influences

[@zaynes5094]

@@dirgniflesuoh7950Weird. In judo I started at 5 but my dad and sensei thought I was too young, so I came back to it when I was 9, and then I was a yellow belt for all of literally 3 months, then was an orange belt for another 2 years, THEN finally got to a green belt at 14, THEN a blue, purple, and eventually up to a brown belt 1 stripe before I stopped at 16 due to an ACL surgery I needed. Then I just went into college and got a job and girlfriend and decided no time for martial arts. I'd like to go back to at least do judo and get back to a brown belt. That would be nice.

[@dirgniflesuoh7950]

@@zaynes5094 What is weird is a matter of perspective. Where I used to train getting a black belt took five years, if You were exceptional. Usually it was more like ten years or more. But my point sort of was, it is a better idea to ask how many years have you been training than belt colour, bc belt colours can mean almost anything. Second, if You find a good enough place to train, it is never too late to begin again. For me it is a lesson in accepting that my body has aged, and also I have a "weird" perspective in changing style, and the differences in how, in what order things are taught. I believe it is good for my brain 😄

Awesome video, mate! This channel is so underappreciated... I hope you get 100K soon!

[@hughjazz4936]

Dunno if someone mentioned it, but the 2 belts is quite common in tournaments. One is your actual belt and the other is either red or blue to distinguish between the 2 combatants. In kumite judges will show a blue or red flag to indicate who they think scored a point.

[@thecubeman381]

Yeah, this is how a lot of Judo tournaments are structured. One person wears a red belt on top of his, the other wears the white.

[@ropongi1008]

Man, the number of Karate books I've seen is insane. I knew what Heyan Shodan was before I got serious about martial arts. All that training from a book would barely get you a yellow belt in TKD. We don't even learn that form. Or any of the Olympics forms that may or may not be Shotokan

[@ivanochiaramello4617]

2:50 I don't know if it's the same in US, but in Europe the red belt it's just for the referee to declare who win in a 2 karateka competition. One is called "red belt competitor" the other one is called "white belt competitor". That's why the double belt.

[@joeyfigueroa4748]

I think the best they could do for a "Karate" dojo was Ken Nagayama Martial Arts in Burbank, which I think is not Karate but this fusion and parts of styles that he teaches. I see their dojo when driving to and from work and I remember their old commercials, they've been around forever. Either way, that whole Kevin Hart skit was just cringe.

Kevin Hart should train with you Sensei Seth😀

[@koraegi]

I never expected to hear the words kumite and kata out fo rebel Wilson's mouth

[@schwindsichtigaderechte5293]

3:02 I've seen tournaments where this happened, it's about how the match is judged. Two people did Kata at the same time, one of them with an additional red belt. The main judge then called upon the four assistant judges to choose their winner, and to do so they either raised a white or a red flag or crossed flags if it was even. Granted, you could just give them numbers and hold up number paddles, but that's what they did and that's why some people sometimes wear two belts in a competition.

[@EnigmaticPeanut]

books can teach you what to do, but not what you are doing wrong.

[@FS-mf5xn]

About the two belts, I have not trained the JKA way, but we still have the two belts in competitions, the reason is purely competition etiquette, we will have a red and a white belt that the two competing people will wear to differentiate between them, it’s not always necessary, but comps of the same belt with judges that don’t know the students have a much easier time scoring when they can call points for the one with aka or shiro (red/white probably spelt wrong). We would certainly not train this way :P

[@usnpinoy]

I'm dead... "I earned my Black Belt in 35 minutes" Seth: "Oh, he took Taekwondo"

[@revariox189]

Dont you need to wear a red or blue belt when competing. Usually for Kumite for points (Red and white ti be honest). I wouldn't see it far fetch that her red one is to identify her as the Red competitor for point scoring and her Yellow belt is her rank. I just find it odd that they would use a full belt instead of flags, even tough some organisations do they usually wear only the competiton one not both, or use flags (like in tag football).... Just an odd choice from that Dojo but not that crazy or anything.

[@mega1283]

Your right. But normally the make just wear the read or blue now days. But maybe that was the rules then

[@ketong71]

The Red and Blue Belts for tournaments is a recent development (around early-mid 2000s). Before, they used Red and White Belts (some tournaments still use those). Going back further, they used thin red and white sashes tied around the belts of the competitors.

[@alexkehoepwj]

The testicles are more devastating as a lever in grappling, than as a target in striking

[@MattCantSpeakIt]

I trained in Karate for a couple years (with breaks here and there but thats a story for another day), and I ABSOLUTELY was trained in the art of testicular kicks. These were taught in the self defense portions of the class. I absolutely hated practicing a combination including one of these with a partner, because I was scared shitless that this white belt was not gonna be able to stop her kick in time

[@Dbdilly]

I remember a guy that told me he learned Kung Fu from a book but it was mainly against multiple opponents

[@frodosk101]

I think that Kevin would be an excellent karate fighter. Hes agressiv and agile and moves pretty on point. But i know he wants to be entertaining, so he chooses to fool around. The Sensei also plays along as if he would take everything serious. Trust me on this. Half of every training is about humor and having a good time together rather than learning letal technique.

[@momcawesome5610]

3 weeks late but nonetheless, in JKA Karate competition (as she said that that was the style she practiced) it's common to wear a red ribbon or belt (both is possible) to differentiate between two competitors. So that says more about Seth's knowledge about karate overall than her or the dojo she trained at... Seems she legitimately trained traditional Japanese karate (as legit as possible for a child anyways)

[@Sovvolf]

The real shame was going for laughs man. It would have been more entertaining to have seen them actually go to the karate gym Fight Quest style and do a bit of a spar at the end. Just when they play it up for laughs like this it's just delves too hard into cringe humor. The only reason Master Ken works is because he's pretty knowledgeable about the stuff he's making fun of. Also, as you said. Think if he'd had played up like that at an actual gym and not one that's going with it for the skit. He'd have probably ate a swift kick to the throat.

[@nuno.picado]

Some karate tournaments use a flag system to pick the winner, when two karateka (or two teams) are simultaneously on the mat. On my style (SKIF Shotokan) it's AKA (red) vs Shiro (white), though on other associations they could use red vs blue, or other combinations. Participants will wear a belt colored after their assigned side (which changes during the tournament making us put belts on and off permanently 😁). What happens sometimes is that the rules are not clear on whether or not participants still need to wear their graduation belt. When this happens (or if the rules specifically say they should), they end up wearing two belts at the same time: One is their graduation (yellow in her case) and the other is the side identifier (red in her case). When the tournament rules specifically do not allow graduation belts, it avoids this two belt nonsense while avoiding the karateka graduation influencing the judges on their decision.

[@nuno.picado]

What I wouldn't say is that for kata we are supposed to make "sound effects" 😂😂 The only "sound effect" you're supposed to do it breathe in and out, plus the kiai at the correct moment.

[@wolfhawk1999]

Oh, yes, plenty of people ridicule fighting sports all right, don't worry about that. "Fighting" sports are nothing special, they're just that, sports. And players in those sports who think their potential skills necessarily translate to something worthy in the "real world" are in for a rude awakening. (See for example the story about this MMA guy who was attacked at home by an intruder. He was so surprised that an outside the ring unexpected fight was nothing like a codified sports bout that he was quite afraid and almost lost all his technique and abilities. At least he was very open and honest about it.)

I would definitely rather fight Kevin Hart than Rebel Wilson. She'd probably kick my ass and then call me a "Pommy sh*t-c*nt"... On a more serious note, it's clear she has spent some time training: her punches at least were pretty solid and her facial expression when Kevin kicked and slapped the gi out of the Sensei's hands was indicative of a certain awareness that there is an etiquette to these things. Then again, I don't have a non-white belt in any traditional Japanese arts, so that might just be common sense talking. I live in Southeast London and have done for most of my life. There's definitely a type of untrained soi-disant hard man who turns up to martial arts classes here thinking and they will learn that there are things they don't know about fighting the easy way or the hard way. I don't know if it's a persona or his authentic self but the way Kevin's acting reminds me of that.
