@CombatSelfDefense 2 жыл бұрын

My opinion: spinning/jumping techniques can be a sign of mastery/dominance in a fight. Either you’re so good you can set up and pull of something flashy - which is awesome…or you CANT set it up and you make a failed/obvious attempt. Tl;dr if you’re a good enough fighter, you can do pretty much any technique you want and it will work.

@xenoherder6491 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah I think this lost on the overly practical practitioners. It’s all theoretical, it’s a science. Taking the time and dedication to learn something difficult that may not have a high usage rate will give you something that no one else has, and in of itself will train you to pull of easier techniques more efficiently. It doesn’t hurt to have, as well as adding a variable that is possible set up. A tornado kick has a very limited niche implement, that someone shouldn’t throw without caution but because it’s seldom used in fighting makes it very much an unknown factor. In short I agree, the best martial artists make the impractical practical.

@kamenwaticlients 2 жыл бұрын

Yup as far as I'm concerned the highest level of martial arts is mastery over one's body once you reach that you can do pretty much whatever you want and it will be usable on some level. Look how quickly he learned that jumping spinning kick

@gromse5616 2 жыл бұрын

This makes sense. We see it a lot in combat sports. In some fights one fighter is so dominate and comfortable they just start doing wacky flashy shit because they can. It's not practical but it demonstrates just how mucy better they are compared to their competition. Of course they can be humbled real quick if that gap is not as wide as they think.

@0Bonaparte 2 жыл бұрын

So I am less versed in unarmed martial arts, but the armed martial arts I have been studying almost all talk about spins and the like in very specific contexts. I.e. to break the bind when your opponent relies on feeling through it. Or as incidental to an entirely separate motion usually used to close distance. There is one weapon that almost entirely works on the idea of spinning and that is what most people pull in their heads when they think ‘long sword’. A big sword as tall as the person wielding it. But this is a highly specialized weapon that was largely used in body guard roles as you can deny access to a very large area while keeping someone close to you safe. Or hold an alley effectively as one person.

@ambulocetusnatans Жыл бұрын

@@0Bonaparte A lot of things that don't make sense or look impractical in styles like Aikido or Tai Chi, start to make sense once a weapon is involved. Most teachers say that you practice weapons to help your empty hand improve, but the truth is you practice empty hand to improve your weapons.

Even as a kid, I always thought the "knocking opponents off a horse" explanation was weird and unrealistic. But, I think there is a practical function to flying kicks, one which historical practitioners on Okinawa might also have found occasion to take advantage of. Self defense isn't always about *self* defense. Sometimes it's about protecting other people. Maybe you see some people picking a fight with your best friend, your partner or a family member, or trying to rob someone or something of that nature, and you think you ought to get involved. So, you charge into the fight as fast as you can. You want to arrive in the fray, not run right through it, so you have to actually come to a stop. And you have at least one opponent who's not giving you all their attention, because they're already dealing with someone else. So, you can kill two birds with one stone by transferring all that extra momentum into your opponent, ideally knocking them out of the action in one swoop. It's like a running tackle, except it leaves you on your feet to deal with other opponents.

@cyborgchicken3502 Жыл бұрын

Flying kicks are great if you're trying to run away from a group of attackers and one of them cuts you off in front... Then a flying kick is absolutely necessary to prevent yourself from losing a lot of momentum as you're trying to escape

If you can do flashy kicks, like those in TKD or sport wushu, which requires a great deal of athleticism, speed, strength and understanding of body mechanics then the more pragmatic grounded kicks are simple to learn. Doing flashy kicks is getting your muscle and body to overcompensate like swinging a weighted bat and then swinging a regular bat.

Interesting that Jesse says karate’s high kicks originated from French savate because S. Korean TaeKwon-Do is best known for its high kicks, which originated from its historical and cultural martial art called TaekKyon, which dates back to Joseon Dynasty, around 1775-1800, before modern Korea was formed. I always assumed that modern karate borrowed its high kicks from TKD, which also borrowed lot of its hand techniques from Shotokan karate. I could be wrong 😅

@YoGribouillie 2 жыл бұрын

Taekwondo does not come from Taekkyon, but from karate. because Taekkyon bases its kicks on sweep, crescent kick, push kick, and above all is fought on rhythm, taekwondo has little in common with Taekkyon, but everything up to the forms is a copy paste of karate but adapted in Korean.

@streetsurfer00710 2 жыл бұрын

@@YoGribouillie Hmmm…Not sure I totally agree with you on that one. Yes, TKD did have influence from karate as General Choi Hong Hi was a black belt in karate, but TKD was also a fusion of indigenous Korean fighting styles such as TaekKyon, Subak, and and Kwon Beop as well as having influence from Chinese martial arts. Of course TKD is not TaekKyon. On that I agree 👍. Before there was ITF and WTF/WT/Kukkiwon TKD, there was KTA (Korea TKD Association), which was comprised of 9 kwans or schools, including Chung Do Kwan (my instructor’s heritage), Oh Do Kwon (General Choi’s heritage), etc. So origin of TKD is not as simplistic as just saying it came from karate unfortunately.

I trained primarily in Tang Soo Do w/ Hapkido. We were also always taught that jumping side kicks were for knocking mounties off their horse.... Also that pole vaulting, was invented the same way, where as shorter attackers would use a staff or spear to vault and increase their jumping height. Can't say I ever lived in feudal times to witness this, but that is what we were taught. Does kind of make sense too when you consider pole vaulting, heights, and the evolution of the arts. Have to say, you 3 are the best on tube, of the many out there. You keep your teaching respectful to all arts, accurate, and humble. Thanks for all the great videos guys!!!
