Anything you didn't understand? Let me answer them for you!

I find the best combination for movement in kickboxing is a mix of boxing and karate. The fast angle changes of boxing with the fast distance changes of karate makes you very hard to find in the ring.

i watched some of your previous videos, and you have improved a lot and seem much more comfortable!❤️The new setup is really good as well

I'd always learned when I boxed to move forward with the back leg, similar to what you're doing. This also reminds me a lot of when I tried kendo and all the forward stepping movements came from the rear foot. I love all your content, please don't stop!

Just Perfect. We started with kumite basics at my dojo.

Thank you for this. The kumite footwork is totally different to boxing footwork and I've always been really curious about it, this was a great explanation thank you.

Wonderful work. Great lesson.

Thank you so much for this video !

I loved it. Footwork is vey important in karate! Thainks Sensei. Os!

Great explanation. I particularly like the explanation on lateral movement.

Thank u very much... I watched many videos... But urs one ... I got it now❤️❤️❤️

So interesting! I think this is one of the points that most distinguish karate and taekwondo superficially. I mean, I believe that the principles are the same, but in the external appearance, the resulting movement looks so different! The basic stance also looks quite different.

Im going to try this during training thank you this seem very helpful

Excellent!!!

Thank you!! My karate championship is coming up and we were practicing it in school but our coach wasn't free so we couldn't practice much and I was having problem with this but after seeing your video, I can understand it. Now I can practice. Thank you so much!!:)

tnks a lots! regards from Ushuaia(Argentina)

My favorite counter is from a left facing stance(southpaw) step/juke to the right with the lead leg while using the knife edge of my left hand to redirect their lead hand while also dropping into a rightside back stance and launching a reverse punch to their ribs. With practice, the goal is to be fast and fluid. Might even be a kihon. Lol 😅

Wow thank you for this great video ! Oss 🥋

best videos on youtube, Arigatou!

Thays accualy the best thing in karate moving in and out

Thank you!

thank you coach

Its very helpful... arigatou gozaimasu...love and respect from indonesia... OSU!!!

Good Technique

Nice explanation.. From my limited experience (10yrs or so point karate, then some kickboxing and bit of mma) I had to change my footwork somewhat in the full contact setting. Bit more grounded and bit less bouncy :) Bit principles remained very close.

Damn, i'm taking my black belt exam soon, i need to practice free sparring, this was an insane tutorial, thank you so much..

Very good video

This is really similar to the foot work that I practiced in taekwondo. The positioning, the guard and the way you keep a constant spacing even when moving is the same. The only difference I see is the use of punches and the way kicks are set up. really cool.

Nice video

Thank you so much for sharing bthis video Sensei..I really missed all those days way way back,,when I was in competition...all of your teaching is one hundred percent true and accurate...

Super interested in this one. Practical application is my passion

If you keep the legs shoulder width apart (no toe heel line) then lateral movement becomes easier without the triangle step.

So I just wanted to add this about boxing. The stance is slightly different but they move basically the same way. They teach you who’s to throw a jab from pushing with the back foot as well as of a heavy front foot. That way you can condition you opponent seeing you shift you weight back before a jab and catch them off guard by doing with you weight forward.

Love From India ❤️

A question to which I can't find a good answer? What is the name of the kumite/fighting stance? My sensei called it something like "kamo-dachi" but that means duck stance? What is the Japanese or rather official karate name for the bladed fighting stance that we all use?

Great video Sensei.. One point to mention though. Boxing stance weight distribution is either 50/50 or more on the back leg. A bladed boxing stance is virtually the same as kumite stance. Soviet/Eastern European schools of boxing is quite similar to karate. Apart from being a full contact sport and lack of hooks and uppercuts in Karate of course LOL. Anyway, I encourage my fellow Karateka to expericence boxing just to see how similar they are. Maybe you should for the future videos Sensei??

Tried messing around with these types of footwork in a sparring match they seem to do good results

Thanks ! So I understand that for quick front move you only advice yori ashi and not ayumi ashi nor tsugi ashi ? For the side movement I have troubles to get the right feeling as I feel unstable and if my opponent strike at this moment it's more or less game over and I don't look very fast, isn't simpler to just move your gravity centre (/hara) in the direction you want ? :)

45度じゃなくて横に近い感じで立つと間合いが近くなりますよ。それと、45度に立つよりも腰がリラックスしますよ。後ろ足で蹴って前に出ようとすると後ろ足が残ってしまい二つ目が遅れますよ。前足の膝を前に押し出して体重を前に移して前に倒れるように動くとテレグラフも少なくなり速くなりますよ。 突くときに脇を開けるなと言うと肩に力が入ってしまうので肘を真っ直ぐ目標に向かって出しなさいと言えばスムーズに出ますよ。一度試してみてください

Good

Thank you and can you explain about jumping rope is good for footwork or not...if yes how to train ...Thank you form Myanmar.

Waiting......

I noticed at 6:09 you are doing a split step prior to moving to your right. You mention that it's faster than just stepping to your right. Is this the same theory of split step in tennis where the wider stance and lower cg enables faster lateral movement?

Keep doing

I was practicing my footwork, then I see my phone notification pops this vidéo ! How does he know ?!

Could you please demonstrate verious hand and leg technic with this footwork combination? Now I am practicing this basic footwork. Thank you. My name is Soumen Mitra.

I really liked it, but only thing I would do differently is when moving forward is moving my back leg to front leg then out so I’m not Telegraphing to my opponent that I’m going to attack or move forward.

Are the stances (like as stance while standing at a spot) of sparring are not same as we practice in kihon (like zenkutsu dachi, kiba dachi etc) ?? Then what is the importance of stances in kihon?

❤❤❤❤

Hey Sir when Will U Start ???

❤ Move like a crab - awesome

Excelent content! I’m a choy lay fut practioner and I love it, but I feel it has very poor footwork.

Seems very applicable to kickboxing and mma as well, maybe with some small modifications.

Sir , please give kumite tips for sub juniors (14-15) .

O practice kyokushin karate and Taekwondo, this stance is sou beutiful, but is it good to kick? I feel that kick using a wide stance is soooo bad. Can you record a video, teaching us kick using front and the back leg, kicking fast? This stance is good for kumite point, but teach us how to use combos using this stance as well? and using it in a street fighter or in mma. I love this stance, but I dont know how to use this in an effective way out of kumite point

Are you supposed to keep your back leg straight or bend it a bit?

🥋

Im a yellow belt and some times i fight with someone taller than me how can i bet him? Im little short and i want to know some tricks to do and win pls and whats the mistakes that probably do it and i dont know pls give me some advice that really help me💗

Do we have to bend the back leg like we do in gidan barai?

Is it possible can you dodge attacks when you're using your stances or person like comes at you with a gun possible can you try to move quicker orchard at this on the person that's Amy a gun that you were having a gun can you still move quick enough and Dodge out of the way when the person that comes at you were for hit open you tried to use a takedown move you have to build up straight into your stances and you're using your stances can you really move faster in a straight full line or move sideways🥋 🤔👍🥋🙏🥋💪😉👍🥋

Can these principles be applied to a squared stance instead of a bladed one?

How can we overcome our fear while doing fights..... Can u help me plzzz

I need a punching combination and a kicking combination

tks, i was always don't understand why my senpai move to the side so fast

I'm also jkm member in srilanka , I'm a fan of your work and style , I like your black tshirt it's so cool can you just sent me as a present 🎁 ☺️

Still waiting

how to strengthen the knee as I am 50+

How are you meant to stand as a left handed fighter?

Oss

YES, only something like that can work. Conclusion? Kihon and kata are shit with regard to fight preparation.

looks similar to badminton footwork

Some defense video in fight

You know point karate lead to having the side towards the opponent. Otherwise kata has a person squaring off, sidestepping or other. Blocks protecting centerline. Then, others find faults with kata how it is presented and taught to them, then they practice, which then they modify with improvements, which are said to have their benefits. But old masters said were good as were. Where I can not help but true karate or tode is sufficient how done, then knowledge probably withheld is what makes original karate kata effective as was known for. But just like political decisions can be told as a reason that has large consensus that gets accepted as a reason, when in reality there's other motive. Like it requiring a lifetime to master a kata, bullcrap, kata nor karate is any use preventing death, nor what happens to which way the soul goes, so it's useless. The guy who learned Naihanchin by peeking didn't take long to become proficient. It did not take Jigoro Kano long to learn JiuJitsu and transform to judo as I understand it. Truth be known, it didn't take the Gracie's long to learn Japanese Jiu Jitsu. But made into an art, sport, Phys. Ed., It gets drawn out. Where everything has to be perfect or close to before progressing. As Harold Mitchum stated others claiming these different belts and such couldn't work on them all the time, as they had jobs to do. Then like the thing about karate being taught at night, if the truth were known, many were farmers and as so many say the humidity and heat was so terrible, Well it's that way in any coastal regions but the worst I ever lived was below New Orleans where below sea level, uhhh. Karate may been learned at night, but farming during the day in heat, it'd be reasonable to do at night to escape some of the heat. But there's picture of karate being practiced during the day after WWII. Which consider Ed Parker, if he learned other truths, thered be good reason he would present a cover form. Think about this. It takes so much of a second for your mind to realize something. As a car breaking in front of you. Then it requires so much of a second for this to go the computer, then for your computer to process and send a signal for your limb to break. Actual movement of that limb requires x amount of a second. Action is always faster than reaction. Some can block fast. Some can react fast. But a guy who is fast throws a strike, it'd be hard for another to block. Give it some thought. Again some can block quickly, Then while thinking, Steven Seagal made Aikido effective in movies. Where against untrained or less trained he has an advantage as well as actually being well skilled. But Aikido before WWII was said to be more like from its parent sryle, Daitoryu Jiu Jitsu, with the addition of Aiki as well as some other concepts. Which it's well recorded that Daitoryu was not taught to everyone the same. Where the secrets are still withheld. Even these secrets may be modified so as to keep the "art" alive. Which anyone who constantly rehearses moves, increases force, will have an advantage on the untrained. Theres always more than one way to do something. Yet, a lot of times, there is a single way to do it the best. I've seen plenty who did something all their life and it always worked, but if they knew the correct way, it would have been better revealed by longevity and otherwise. Say painting. It might reveal itself by that one best way where the paint lasts the longest. Simple minds beg for simplicity. Yet, consider, how long did it take Maeda to teach the Gracie patriarchs the full of Jiu Jitsu? President Roosevelt was taught some Jiu Jitsu, but he's not a Gracie. Challenge matches were taught in Britain too,. But why are they learning GracieJiu Jitsu? Russians learned from another Russian that went to Japan I think Oh, here's a biggie, but best I recall, when Jiu Jitsu masters were together to compare different styles of Jiu Jitsu against Judo, best I recall, Aikido was there and the guy who won for judo having had Aikido training or exposure. But I never seen Daitoryu represented nor Takeda present and no defeat of Takeda nor Daitoryu. Nobody ever mentioning Daitoryu eitheir, where they may not want to let the tiger out the cage. Jigoro Kano taught judo from Jiu Jitsu to masses who probably would not been exposed has Jiu Jitsu having lost its life as the day of the sword was over. Then Jigoro Kano obviously.having regard for Kitchen Funakoshi who reciprocated with Kano. Kano implementing some karate in his judo and Funakoshi implementing judo in his Karate. As Funakoshi stated a trained karate guy could kill with one blow, which figure, fists hardened from constant conditioning, as well as fingers more pointed and hardened from conditioning by striking into grain, people's,between strung together bamboo, moreso sand, where there's no fat, just well conditioned bone and cartilage that was also very strong. I doubt they had issues with arthritis eitheir as they probably refined the process over time if not centuries. The human body can do a lot beyond many belief. Which look at many karate, they've matched the Gracie's, Gracie's win. Now many Okinawan masters were said to have died in WWII, I do not doubt many Jitsu guys who may have known more than others as well as more proficient in WWII. Where it's said after WWII, things became more watered down. Good reason too. Not to mention there probably being those assigned to unofficially or known of. Which again Jigoro Kano seemed to see Gichin Funakoshi as an equal. Where he understood lethal blows, evasive footwork, etc. Then Shotokan evolved to having broad stances as well as leaving striking arms extended, as it's art. Original karate being more upright and using fewer kicks than karate today. Of course there are guys who are experts who are very fast powerful, even having the aggressive nature that give results and athletic as well, as General Patton was said to be. Understand, there are guys who are very fast, extremely aggressive, vicious and ferocious, who can throw a Haymaker, overhandright & lefts with complete accuracy, where when they hit, whoever they hit are going down. Naturally athletic. Generally good guys, not to mention besides being hard to hurt, in a fight they do not feel anything, maybe the next day, but not while fighting. Very tough and they get back up. In general, there are not that many, but they are out there where generally they will not be found in a dojo. As far as rough and tough, I think of Tex Cobb's. I do not know about his skill outside of boxing, but there's rough tough types, where there is no one strike it's powerful blows one after the other.

Like jeet kune do footwork

Middle fingers with fricking laser beams attached to them
