"Think like a Beginner, and you will be a Master, before you know it" Very deep message Sensei Ando. Many thanks*

I wear red so the bad guys can't see me bleed....

Thanks for all the tips because today is my big day I’m going to martial arts

Hmmm yes I hear what your saying but.... what if he doesn’t have a head That killed me🤣🤣🤣

I have my first karate class tomorrow. This is really helpful and now i’ll know some key tips before I go. Thank you so much Sensei Ando!

Wise words, Ando. Seriously though, this channel and FightTips are my go to 1 place if I want to learn more about fighting and information about it. Thanks for this great video 😉

Great video... Thanks for the uplaod

Wow! Great advice, not just for martial arts class, but also for life. I've been doing martial arts for years, but still get something out of every video you make. Thanks!

Great information! I have been taking Martial Arts classes for a year. This helps me a lot. Thank you!

Sensei Ando, I seriously hope no one asked you, "What if he has no head?" 😳

I just signed up and this video was really helpful.

Forever a white belt state of mind for me! :D

Thank you for this. I am a White Belt in Taekwondo, and I really enjoy learning from you on top of my own classes that I attend.

Thank you for putting up a new video sir. Very informative and stone great tips. Keep the videos and podcasts coming. BTW podcast episodes 1-7 are not available on android via play store

I write in margins and highlight text in my manuals but don't know why I never thought about bringing a notebook. I've just started a new martial art so this was really helpful.

Thank you for these tips, I'm starting my first taekwondo class this thursday, and these tips all helped.

Its amazing and beautiful that you can spread the knowledge of your art and at the same time give it a unique touch of humour! Keep it up sir, i wish many teachers of martial arts and in general could be like you!

Starting my martial arts journey this summer. Thanks for this

Thanks for the tips ^^ I think they're useful in every day life too.

I like what you said about the plateau and how the learning process works. It's so true that we see those sudden jumps only after a long time being "the same." Too many people say the same thing, that things start to click and come together. Your brain is always working, even if you can't sense it at the time.

learning attitude is always best thanks for the video

Absolutely practical,hence shared!

Started today. Will keep all these tips in my mind. Unlike other videos these are very small but very effective tips that really matters when you are a beginner. ✌🏻👍🏻

These are some great tips! I’ll be sharing them with my students in the future!

learning to respect yourself and others is a way of life in karate! great work!

Sensei Ando, First of all thank you for your tips.. I just opened a martial art club Nd your this video clip boost me up to tell my students about it that how to maintain and take responsibility as a beginner 😇😇

Respect and discipline I love these values. Awesome vid!

I'm 65yrs old and not a martial art student but your suggestions definitely helped me learn more about life. Keep up the great work

Thanks for guiding us..

I feel like you are making "Warriors of Martial Art" over the mental aspect of the martial art! Your guidance is so simple and real that I just can't help but respect you more!

Great advice and good humour!

im at the point where i know the moves they keep teaching me its hard to stay motivated some days

Thank you you helped me to remember things. I was going to martial arts at my city but when I shifted from there I forgot everything. I decided in quarantine to revise it. Thank you

Thank u!!! Sensei

You have a great understanding of martial arts, Sensei 👍🏻 Subscribed ❤️

Good advice and a nice video! Just stuffed a notebook into my bag. I will hopefully be a white belt for only a few more weeks, testing at the end of the month!

Thank you 🙏 I will attempt my best to honor those who came before me.

You alway have a good humor. Great advice :)

Between Sensei Rick Hotton and Sensei Ando... Ya, you can cover a lot of good ground with these masters. No excuse for not training when these guys can motivate so well

THANK u sir

Oh snap. I've been a member of a dojo for over 2 years now, and for the first year and a half was attending every single day every class I could, working out and learning and practicing etc. Then I hit the wall- I knew most of the drills that we were going to be doing, I knew what I was good and bad at, and I reasonably knew my limits and abilities, so I got bored. When I was bored attendance dropped dramatically. Tonight was the first night of me coming in in well over 3 months, and I learned how much my body had degraded in the time away: technique was still there, but the cardiovascular fitness to keep my breath and stay active for longer just wasn't there at all. This video helped out amazingly with point number 5. I think it may be a while before I stop attending again.

Love u, Ando! :D

The Wise one. Keep Spirit

A Wise Advice,, thank you Sensei Ando

Thank you Sir

Thanks this helps

“But what if he has a hatchet??” 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I found the tip about the note book. Very interesting thank you.

Thanks for the plateau words, wise man thou are

i have my first class tomorrow....thanks for the advice!

Absolutely! I'd clean your mats for some lessons if you'd let me, thank you Sensei, very professional

These are good tips

Thank you

Thank you for the great suggestion Sensei Ando. You really got me there laughing on the "What If.." scenario. When i was teaching a class about Escrima and disarms, got this guy ruining everyone trainings by forcing his "what if" idea throughout the lesson. Had to kick him out. How to handle the persistant one? Thank you again, Sensei!

Tomorow is my first day of karate lessons this video will help me i will subscribe

I'm gonna get back into karate after like 8 years, so this is very helpful!

I especially love the short: "sometimes you might think you're actually getting worse," because it's so true and yet rarely mentioned. The fact is, there are a lot of reasons why you sometimes think that you are getting worse, but it's rarely true. It could be some skewed type of nostalgia, depression, or simply the fact that some people got better, i.e. had the plateau jump at a different time than you. Consistency, sparring, and open-mindedness towards other techniques make sure that you aren't actually getting worse, so as long as you keep going to the gym/dojo, everything will be fine. :)

Thank you Sensei. Now to come to think about it. I do need to trim my toenails seems my wife is slacking off lol. Great information 👍

Very nice

Starting karate classes in around 2 weeks time and I’m scared and excited at the same time Don’t wanna screw up on the first day!

I really liked the note book idea and think of yourself as a white belt great theories that I will use thank you.

It's awesome because you take your time. Which the video. I make I wanna do it. I do at home

Awesome tips! I have one issue though, Sensei. I live in Austin, TX, and everyone just LOVES LOVES LOVES to hear themselves talk. The solution in this town has been to turn martial arts classes into cardio classes! (kidding. sort of.)

Thankyou

No truer words could ever be spoken!!! I appreciate how you are speaking to us and not preaching. keep up the great work!!!

Great vid! Give tip for posture and exercise! Thanks
