This Mysterious Drill On BREATHING Changed My Karate Forever

[@FortniteDad39]

Excellent! The first thing i worked on when training for boxing was breathing in relation to punching and moving around. It really improved my stamina.

[@jamiearnold1711]

Thank you Sensei. As a TKD practitioner, I find your advice invaluable. TKD shares similarities with Shotokan. Could you please do a video on keeping hips and knees healthy via good alignment and form?

[@philipchan8294]

Correction: Everyone always drops his diaphragm when he inhales regardless of whether he does abdominal or chest breathing in order to increase the volume of air in the lungs. Check in any physiology book.

[@Eternaprimavera73]

I agree, so maybe he meant something else.

[@thibautmuzart4114]

Yup. When you breathe in, your diaphragm actually flattens and tenses to allow your lungs to expand; when you breathe out it "curves up" into a relaxed, dome shaped position, and air goes out of your lungs.

[@josephannett3471]

Thanks to all 3 agreeing here. I thought it was just me. :D

[@jimboyer3528]

I really enjoyed your video and have learned a lot of subtle ways to improve. This breathing exercise was excellent. Thank you for offering such unique instruction.

[@KarateDojowaKu]

No problem!

[@Hiteshjariwala-24]

Pls make 15 min.30 minutes training video for shotokan karateka

[@keerthanas4144]

As someone who practice their katas in 5 forms, I'm so glad you've made this video!

[@KarateDojowaKu]

Thanks!

[@jacksonjohnson9674]

Thank you Sensei for the breathing tip.

[@KarateDojowaKu]

Glad you liked it

[@camiloiribarren1450]

Love this. Basically, in Goju Ryu, go do Sanchin and Tensho to fix breathing techniques and match it with technique

[@KarateDojowaKu]

Nice!

[@angeloferrari379]

You learned very well from the Masters on your trip. Excellent!

[@fodayjawara7879]

Hello 👋 sensei, OSs Well, thank you, I have learned a lot from your videos. I have been following you for long time now, and your videos help me a lot. So I will not be fair to you, if I don't comment and say at least thank you. All your videos are appreciated, keep it up. Mark it in your book 📚 that am also your number one fan, all the way from the smiling coast of west Africa The Gambia. OSs 🥋

[@rachidrobert609]

Thank you very much for these advices . I believe you are a great master.

[@renenavratil9796]

During inhalation the diaphragma gous down, not up. While during expiration, diaphragma gous up.

[@camunizba]

As I do Kata or Kihon, I tend to forget to breathe correctly. As a result, my shoulders get tense. I think this practice will help me fix this. Thank you!

[@PecanLane]

Your diaphragm descriptions are incorrect. When you breathe in the diaphragm moves down, this creates the negative pressure to fill and expand lungs. The diaphragm moves up when exhaling.

[@KarateDojowaKu]

I'll look into it once more!

[@marclerner3344]

From a retired Respiratory Therapist and RN your description is pretty good. To really get into it would end up being too much for most people, especially the gas exchange in lungs..in Kyokushin, we breathe on blocks and exhale with defense techniques. I have not finished viewing but I want to know the real way breathing is done in Uechi Ryu Sanchin. I'll continue and see the rest. ☮️ 🥋🥋🥋

[@vivalaskelton]

Stay in your Pecan Lane. Leave Sensei alone

[@jewelweed6880]

​@@vivalaskeltonSensei is human, too. Do a simple Google search right now. "What does the diaphragm do when you breathe" He is right about c.o.g. changing and working with it for better results. He is wrong about when the diaphragm moves up and down.

[@bahamut7028]

Very good Information

[@KarateDojowaKu]

Thanks!

[@PeterLipcsei]

Thank you Sensei. This was my "first" virtual training and it was fun! I do run out of breath and I knew that my breathing techique is faulty. Almost fainted once after a Jion, when doing Kanku dai usually my movements are getting weak by the end of the kata (tobi geri before the end...).

[@mustafanawaz243]

Yusuke, these movements looks similar to how the sho gen ryu senseis pratice from the okinawa series. Would love to see you revisit them

[@ricardoneves5094]

Sensei Kanazawa always put extreme emphasis on breathing. Even part of adding a deep breathing after each exercise (before rei). You should check out his kokyu exercises.

Link?

[@lucaslira7029]

Muito bem produzido seus vídeos sensei

[@KarateDojowaKu]

Gracias!

[@Burvedys]

Meh you Shorinryuka, learn sanchin and tensho! :P On serious note, tensho indeed has helped me to recover from COVID-19 to much surprise of doctors and nurses (got even into hospital, went out in less than week when it was two weeks normal).

[@KarateDojowaKu]

Nice!

[@zeweno]

Best karate master

[@KarateDojowaKu]

You go it

[@phugia963]

This is a great video. Can I ask when you do multiple punches & leg kick combo, do you also breathe out on every punch/ kick landed?

[@moblieshorts]

Nice 🎉🎉🎉

[@KarateDojowaKu]

Thanks!

[@joeyereneta1746]

where is the 2nd video you mentioned - incorporating breathing into stances and ido kihon…?

[@qa-kz6sd]

thank you

[@KarateDojowaKu]

Thanks!

[@ljubisaspasojevic1066]

Breathing is from the stomach, not grom the lungs . It starts from the tanden, and ends there as it must be with every technique.

[@tarkajedi3331]

Mind Blown!!!!!!!!!

[@Eri587]

Im sorry but i have to make a correction, the diaphragm moves down when you breath in and up when you breath out, not viceversa, im not saying the technique you explain doesn't work but the explanation at the beginning is most definitely wrong.

[@KarateDojowaKu]

I'll look into it once more!

[@ChipAltmanxD]

Don't worry, nobody understands how the diaphragm works. At least you didn't insist people can activate their diaphragm on purpose.

[@ronishchaudhary]

In the drill when do you breath in?

[@Ariandog]

Cool

[@KarateDojowaKu]

Thanks!

[@FortniteDad39]

This reminds me a lot of tai chi

[@shiromifernando3524]

Konnichchiwa sense I do karate I love karate but I cannot do kumite very much l also have a feeling with given up with my kumite too last time I went to a tournament and I lose in their too how can I do my kumite well

[@jesustallador8657]

❤❤❤❤

[@alastairfraser8177]

Hangetsu kata teaches proper breathing

[@KarateDojowaKu]

That's right!

[@GlennEuloth]

Fukishiki kokyu Ho vs. Kyoshiki kokyu Ho

[@mrdcato]

There's alot of power and sharp precision to be gained from breathing this way when doing forms, but when you do 8 forms in a row you'll be a little gassed...which means you're doing it right. Often I see students ready to go for a 3 mile run after doing 8 forms which means they didn't do it right LOL. I'm sweating bullets at that point.

[@Hiteshjariwala-24]

In biginng there were good training video but now .........no

[@plowette2146]

The explanation of the movement of the diaphragm during inhalation and exhalation is completely wrong. It is a pity that the basic knowledge of anatomy and physiology is not known. This makes the entire explanation unbelievable.

[@Wednezday11]

The comments about how the diaphragm contracts and relaxes are correct. But as I was thinking of a good way to describe how this works regardless. Or a different way of describing it. I had this idea. So think of your body/ diaphragm as a fist. As you breath out the fist tightens, and brings the body down, as you breathe in, the hand opens and is relaxed. That is how the diaphragm works with this! As you breath in it relaxes and allows you to go up, as you breath out it contracts and pulls the body down. From your friendly anatomy nerd lol😊

[@Wednezday11]

Try opening and closing the hand as you breathe in and out. It helps to get a better mental picture of what’s happening in there.

[@Wednezday11]

And might I also add how helpful this breathing technique is to my practice!! Arigatogozaimashita!

[@Deivede73]

I dont get the point here.also this is not changing anyones karate forever

[@Shudikan90]

Hinokami kagura!
