    I think in this lesson I needed to focus on the most tangible point of elasticity... you are correct in all strikes starting from the ground though.

    I love the way you explained the triceps concentration! I am an instructor, I use to box so I incorporate a lot of boxing techniques into my classes (because women love it and its the best training :) This was something I never thought of explaining in this way! I always explain the twisting, the arm extension, the push and pull back with speed and the way you do it makes so much sense! Thanks!

    I have not trained shotokan, but I study what WORKS in fighting, and kinesiology. If you guys teach this stuff in shotokan, then I should probably take some classes. That said, you might just be very fortunate to have found a GOOD school... they're not easy to come by.

    These videos are excellent. I've been trying to increase my punching power / explosiveness, and I figured it came from my basic stance, movements, but have had a difficult time finding videos and such that really explain it (ex: "Step and snap your shoulder!" What tf does that mean?!") Your entire series is great.
    Plus, who new Tosh.0 powerlifted and fought MMA?!

  • @FightSmartTrav
    @FightSmartTrav  10 років тому +1

    I have a full program for sale in the shop on my website. It has over 5 hours of lessons on head movement and counter punching, and you can improve DRASTICALLY without a sparring partner, and they certainly dont have to be good to help yoiu improve.

    Nice lesson and reminds me of Shukokai karate. The hips fire forward first then torso and arm with fist turn at the end and al important muscles tense (made strong) but only on impact then tension immediately released. Cheers the noo :)

    First of all, this is fucking awesome and you really bring something to the martial arts youtube community that is unique and invaluable. Second off is a question: Why not start from the legs up when training with your method? Is it because you can't hit something with your legs?

  • @txmunds
    @txmunds 10 років тому

    That all depends on the range. Stepping in is always gonna give you more penetration which is the key to more power but a good knock out is done by design and not by power(IE Silva v. Griffin) If you are close range then you probably just wanna pivot, that's what i teach at least. Long to medium range is definitely a step in though because you have to be able to strike at least 6 inches deep. Hope that helps.

    I took martial arts for a few years in my teens. I got pretty good at it, but with little help from my "master". He was a greedy Vietnamese guy that had a 16 year old girl teaching us most of the time. He never taught us any of the stuff I seen in your videos. All you need is at least one friend to practice with and these videos to get good at self defense.

    • @guiskard6165
      @guiskard6165 7 років тому +1

      you usually only turn your back leg a little forward, so you can bring the momentum to the hip, which brings it to the torso and so on. but you need to pay attention that bot your feet face the target, when you punch, so you can hold the balance, keep more stamina and have an even stronger punch

    • @guiskard6165
      @guiskard6165 7 років тому +1

  • @gohan4585
    @gohan4585 8 років тому

    Sorry Mr.Trav but, you're actually not supposed to tense everything at the same time because it breaks the body's natural momentum. The muscles are supposed follow the kinetic chain of movement from ground up to minimize the energy used and also accelerate the traveling momentum in a fluid motion. Also why the hands should clinch only on impact. I can demonstrate if u like.

    is this all fiber thing based on the fact that when you consciously use your muscles even in the gym or whatever you only use around one third of your muscles strength potential because that is more energy efficient? and the way you unlock all your strength is when in survival mode which is why you hear stories about people lifting cars to save kids or dogs or their homework or something haha
