Traditional Karate Hojo Undo (Supplementary Training)

www.chrisdenwoo.... This video shows some of the traditional methods of attribute training from traditional karate. Even though this kind of training is considered by many to be 'old-skool' and 'out-dated', it is still in my view just as relevant now as it was when it was first developed. The aim of the training is not to 'body build' or 'weight train', but instead to develop and enhance the specific functional attributes associated with the effective application of traditional karate kata. Thus, it helps put into place an essential piece of the karate jigsaw puzzle - hope you enjoy!

I salute to all the grandmasters... Thank u very much for this wonderful art.......

[@chrisdenwood]

Yes, there are lots of sites to choose from. I have used before from sea of chi and plumb dragon herbs - both of these were good. Now I'm using a home-made jow. Hope this helps, Chris

I like ur conditioning, very natural and functional..unlike weight machines in the gym that only builds attractive muscles but fragile bones,, since gravity is not downwards doesnt strenthen the bones and tendons...old school is the best way to train^_^..sad to say here in philillines its hard to find those implements...I did my best using substitutes like old tire as makiwara, kettle bell as ishi sashi, slegdehammer as chi ishi, ankle weights as tetsu geta^_^..train hard godbless!

[@josephperkins4080]

Weight machines do not create fragile bones the only good thing about them is rehab

[@josephjperkins973]

how about making a video on how to develop your own Hojo undo programs going from beginner to advanced level hojo undo programs?

[@yelurikesavaraghuveer1138]

Can anyone tell me the names of every equipment used for all these exercises

[@kaustaubh1234]

What is black colour bag above stone?

[@aldebaran820]

Hi :) just another little question: where do you get the jow you use? I found so many recipes online and don't know wich one to trust, any advice would be very welcome. thanks :)

[@ZenseiRevolution]

Well done... Brother of way... Ossu!!!

[@mariopeters9241]

just wondering why sometimes you hit with a vertical fist instead of a horizontal fist

[@senseisoto5013]

Great thanks for sharing this. Hai

[@jasonsiador7161]

I would say that the old ways of karate training, like punching a makiwara, is the best way to train. They are the hard but functional and effective way of developing strength. Train your striking hand and feet to absorb impact from hard object. If you hit the head that is a hard object. If you did not train the old way you may absorb pain. Weight training is supplemental.

Domo O sensei 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@lucianohighC]

May I ask what are the weights of these equiment you using???

[@aldebaran820]

hello, great video! :) a question about conditioning: do you use any kind of dit da jow? can you please tell me the title of the song? It is very beautiful. Many thanks in advance, bye :)

[@vmi02raven]

Question, tetsu-te, what is that you have on top of the rock?

[@9thwardJust]

It's typically a sandbag, a bag of dried beans or metal ball bearings depending on your level of training.

[@________________________59]

What is the stone hammer thing for? He is making that look harder than it really is.

[@josephperkins4080]
