Thanks for your awesome comments! 🤩 Happy to hear that people are finding what works for them. After all, it’s not WHAT you do it’s HOW you do it. 💪 Check out my website to learn more about Karate:

As Bruce Lee said " A punch is a punch, and a kick is a kick." Just knowing where and when to use them is up to the fighter.

“Never limit yourself to just one style.”-Bruce Lee

"I never said this"

[@AsaruKhem]

Karate is very useful when you understand the application and mechanics behind the techniques. A solid karate base will give you an advantage over the average person in a combat situation

[@rorschach8167]

If you think karate is bullshit, watch a full contact karate tournament. I practice Muay Thai and have for a long time. A lot of those hard core karate practitioners are pretty badass. Respect man.

"Miyagi no fight for points. Miyagi fight for life!"

[@TheMegaregister]

I am a Kyokushin Karateka and full contact karate is one hell of a martial art, also practiced Muay Thai and kickboxing, and i have go say, Kyokushin is one tough and useful martial arts

[@stndsure7275]

I have been training for 40+ years. Karate saved my life a number of times - only one of those times was in a fight against multiple opponents trying to mug me. The other times were in life’s difficult situations, when major loss had occurred - when life did not seem to matter much. On an everyday basis it has helped me to live an authentic life - in that sense it saved my life every day. I know who I am and I know what I am doing - that seem like a rare condition these days. I am not sure that I completely agree with the clean divisions being portrayed by Jesse - but I occasionaly enjoy his videos.

A Crane Kick always works, except in every sequel of course...

[@robadams2274]

I trained in Isshinryu Karate growing up and competed in some local tournaments back in the day. Sure, maybe wrestling, or some boxing, or Jiu Jitsu might be better at self-defense in many ways, but my Isshinryu got me through a very rough childhood. I was bullied when I was really young and once I got good at karate, I started fighting back. I got into a few fights, won them all with ease, and the bullying ceased altogether. Does karate work? It sure did for me.

[@michaelperez1319]

My Sensei always told me: "one hit one life". He always explained me that each hit I throw must be thinking in breaking bones or causing so much pain that the attacker should rethink in going on with the fight or if u are lucky or good enough one simple hit must "kill" (KO) the oponent.

[@armyparty]

I am a taekwondo athlete for more then 20 years. I must agree with everything Jesse is saying. Taekwondo right now is a sport. Self defense isn't priority anymore. It is about winning matches or depends which shool you go to developing character. I don't mind this. I just wish the leaders would stop calling it a self defense "sport". It is not a self defense sport. It is just a sport.

[@jwgitface]

I was involved in law enforcement for 30 years , the low side kick against an aggressive determined attacker saved me more times than I can remember. Karate do.

[@Jauzness87]

I would not mess with an experienced kyokushin fighter. Those guys are tough as nails

[@hanzoverlord6720]

“Karate is uless”

[@ameliaf.n1064]

I have been training in shotokan for almost 3 years and my sensei once did a demonstration of the origin of our style me and my club members acted it out it helped me understand shotokan better by showing me that our style is purely defensive.

[@adamhawke9191]

studied wado-ryu for almost 23 years, got me through hard times due to severe bullying at school. helped me keep a calm rational mind whilst in tense situations. don't know where I would be without it. karate keeps me steady and true to myself. works well for me.

[@ianforbes7286]

Karate works. I was attacked by a violent, drunken neighbour who was beating up his wife in the street. I walked into the conflagration by mistake and he turned on me. I defended myself using my limited knowledge of Karate. I only ever went up 2 belts in Shotokan but it was enough to hold my own. I stopped my attacker with a swift kick to the Bojangles.

[@rickastley5900]

I bet that the karate inventor had a younger brother or who would he try those moves on
