fantastic to receive content from a competing athlete! i'm not even a taekwon-do practitioner but the insights you're giving apply to many other martial arts. also, really appreciate that you are giving proper theoretical explanations, and not just some magical tricks looking tips to uncritically swallow... double thumbs up to you, my friend!
i might just add that it is a bit sad not to see your feet in this video as the variations between your kicks surely hinge a lot upon the twist in your supporting leg... but well └(=^‥^=)┐
@@MrDzeta Yes it's a good point and one I thought of too retrospectively. I think that could be a good topic for a future video. And thanks for tuning in!
@@VanRoonMartialArts Hi, sir! Your videos are very helpful, not for me, but my 8-year-old son who is a taekwondo player. I try to learn as much as I can so I can teach him more. If you could write a short word of encouragement for my son, Leon, I would really appreciate it. I also think it will go a long way in his learning journey. Thank you so much!
These are the single best taekwondo tutorials I have ever seen. If I ever go to wherever it is you're located, you'd better believe I'm taking some classes.
Auckland, New Zealand. I travel frequently for seminars however: March 16-17 I'll be coaching in Australia for TKD and long distance striking for MMA. Late April / May I'll be in Germany, Spain, England, Wales and Scotland Then more later in the year
Awesome video! I'm a coach in WT sparring but the only thing is I've been out of the game for some 15 years, a lot has changed since I've competed. I love how you break it down!
Wish I had long legs like these dude. This guy got great kicking skills...I'm 53 wish I could go back 20 yrs...gave up on karate back in the 80s...regret I stopped...chamber, lol word never used back then...😁! Great video!
Love it! I remember a Maverick movie with James Garner where he told a friend "I'm not fast (at drawing his gun), just faster than you." As a skinny person, who's also a 4th black in Kyokushin, I've said that many times to tough guys picking on me.
You are a great teacher and athlete Karl, I am a martial arts instructor and practitioner myself and I really appreciate you give people super valid informations instead of crap like many others. Cheers!
I have done both karate and TKD. When I did TKD, we most often turned into the kick for a bit more range. I like what Van Roon said about this. Now I have another way to the it "right!" This is a good vid.
Thank you sir very much from deep of my heart , your lessons are really helping me as I'm new to martial arts in general , your explanations very clear, simple, and informative.
Great video. Very well put together with excellent teaching. Really looking forward to your future content. Hard to find ITF focused instructional videos since GNT moved away from that kind of content.
Great content!!! How about a video for those of us who are big, old, slow (think over-the-hill linebacker) and inflexible (side kick is limited to lower rib height)? ....seriously. My only advantages are length, power and durability; and the last two are not helpful in point sparring.
Thanks for your comment! I will take that into consideration for future videos. Perhaps I can discuss mobility based practices and how this is where flexibility and strength intersect. Don't despair! Even a small amount of progress each session is great. Keep it up
Looking forward to it. 'mobility based practices and how this is where flexibility and strength intersect' I have no idea what this means, but i am intrigued.
@@AL-og4sp Obviously Mr. Van Roon will have a better answer than me, but heres my take: Flexbility increases your range of motion, but in this new, increased range of motion you will lack muscle strength. You need to combine both strength training and flexibility training. Flexibility can be though of unlocking new range of motion, but that new range needs to be strengthened and conditioned. If you are very serious about martial arts and kicking in particular, check out elastic steel. I've purchased the full set and it's spectacular. Mr. Van Roon is of course incredibly skilled, but Paul Zaichik is unmatched when it comes to Kick conditioning.
Hi - that got me thinking [ie. the unpredictability of it]; so if going against someone like that, then going into a 'full crouch' (the way they'd describe it in boxing - I personally like to refer to it as 'torso bend'): but going into that will give them only two choices. ie. either upper left or right.
The sequence for kicking ( rise with the front arm and then lift and shift ) makes it easier to perform most techniques and to hit, because you can cover quite some distance with shifting.
@@VanRoonMartialArts I will thank you. My sons are taking their Red Tag grading with Grand Master Walton this weekend, and the universal chamber will be useful in my next comp if I can crack it in time.
Amazing! Could you please do a video on how to actually drill these? How to structure a training session? I have really crap flexibility and hip flexors from sitting down a lot. I really want be be able to head kick. How do I start my journey?
Thanks for the Advice, i appreciate it.. I always Adapt the Techniques and Style depending to the Fight Situation.. BTW you should do Videos for: Improve the kicking Height, Kicking Flexibility and the Reversal Kick
I practice WTF Taekwondo, but I have never seen this position before? Did I miss anything or is the "Universal Chamber" an ITF Taekwondo thing? However this video described it very well, thank you :D By the way: Thank you for fixing the sound volume ;D
Thank you. Yes I attempted to improve sound quality here and welcome your feedback as always. The 'universal chamber' is not technically an ITF term but it is one that myself and others have adopted to describe this position. In today's WT game this approach is vital and it's amazing how creative the new generation are with their chambering and combinations.
thzt was very nice. you showed it very well but wish i could have also seen the placements of your base foot. That and what kind of stretching do you recommend to get the height for head shots. in other words what goes before the chamber, and can we stop a jujitsu person with a chambered kick? Thank you again. extremely helpful.
Hi Jim - I've had a few people mention that! I'll try to ensure I take more footage of full length shots to allow for observation of details such as the supporting foot etc. Perhaps the stretching / strengthening are good topics for future videos! Thank you for your feedback. CvR
Great video. Has just gotten into sparring (have mye second tournament in a couple of weeks) and your videos are a great help for practicing techniques. Could you maybe do a video about offensive v defensive roles in sparring? What would you recommend? Pros / cons, and against different types of opponents?
Excellent video. I've just discovered you. Could you post a streching video for men in their fifties with very limited flexibility. Well done . Very Impressive kicks.
Hi Carl, your videos are incredibly informative! One issue that I'm facing is that i tend to lean back too much when i kick and that reduces my momentum and its harder to move faster forward. I notice this happens with almost all of my kicks. How can i get better balance and actually carry my momentum forward morem efficiently? Could you advise please?
One way that helps is to stretch in a position known as a hurdlers stretch. Perhaps google that... I like to call it a universal chamber stretch :D Perhaps the topic of a future video...?
Absolutely. Sorry if I'm wrong, but it looks better than boxing jabs. I can always try to dodge a direct punch or a hook one because the opponent has to move to reach me. But with the Universal Chamber, at least for me, is hard to say which kick is going to be.

Your teaching method is really good and good luck with more subscribers...
Thank you!
Absolutely beautiful! Ngā Mihi Carl!
Superb video - a little tricky for us 40-somethings who struggle to get that chamber much above waist height, but inspirational nonetheless.
I totally understand. Keep striving. The same principles apply even if you are executing kicks to the knee, shin, hip or ribs for self-defence etc.
Very interesting, I will remember this lesson
Thanks for tuning in!
Just fantastic explanation sir thx

Hello Van, Can we pratique these kicks techniques without dummy? and I really like how you explain your stuffs by incorporated many dimensions to it.
Thank you! Yes you can practice all of the techniques in my videos with paddles, shields, pads etc or even in shadow sparring on the air
Great

Hello from algeria and OSS
master!!!
Excellent video. I've just discovered you. Could you post a streching video for men in their fifties with very limited flexibility. Well done . Very Impressive kicks.
It's called stretching
I'm 53 years old and to keep my flexibility I should make exercises every day if not, I lost flexibility to high kicks. Is frustrated
What’s the “lift-and-shift” sequel called? - can’t find it
Hi Carl, your videos are incredibly informative! One issue that I'm facing is that i tend to lean back too much when i kick and that reduces my momentum and its harder to move faster forward. I notice this happens with almost all of my kicks. How can i get better balance and actually carry my momentum forward morem efficiently? Could you advise please?
What kind of stretching do you need for that chamber? I find that i turn into a back kick when kicking. I can only do the left side split
One way that helps is to stretch in a position known as a hurdlers stretch. Perhaps google that... I like to call it a universal chamber stretch :D Perhaps the topic of a future video...?
@@VanRoonMartialArts Yes please 😀
my hips Carl, my hips jam man
Very good 😁 feet rocks 😁😃👍
Like Bill "superfoot" wallece!
Yes exactly! I had the pleasure of meeting 'Superfoot' at WAKO Kickboxing World Championships in 2005. A true gentleman and inspiration to many!!
May I know what is the dummy called? Been looking for one online but couldn't find any. Probably because I don't get the name right.
Bob... which stands for Body Opponent Bag. Look at Century Martial Arts or Asian World of Martial Arts.
Kevin Belden thanks so much for responding. I truly appreciate that!
很有用，谢谢
不客气!
Hey im late but do u pivot the back foot while ur chambering?
Bom jogo de perna !
Hey bro why you not upload the video
Coming soon! Thanks for your patience :D
@@VanRoonMartialArts we will waiting
Very hard to tell which kick is coming. The "Universal Chamber" makes all the difference.
It's deceptive isn't it!!
Absolutely. Sorry if I'm wrong, but it looks better than boxing jabs. I can always try to dodge a direct punch or a hook one because the opponent has to move to reach me. But with the Universal Chamber, at least for me, is hard to say which kick is going to be.
@@joaoluistavares6046 I think it all depends on the quality of the boxer! :D Some are obvious, while the skilled ones are very hard to read!
