Jesse you did a great job of explaining a concept unique to Okinawan karate!! I am a black belt in Isshinryu karate and was taught the principle back in 1974.It us easier to demonstrate than to explain!! You did a great job doing both! By the way thanks for being the karate need.You always have good insights and explanations of your studies.
I did this kind of stuff when I trained in China to learn the roots of goju, white crane. This principle is one of the key components of Sanzhan their sanchin.
Yessss..... the Okinawans had it down. Real kinetic power. Plyometrics and energy placement. Love this one Jesse Sensei. Totally awesome.
I love your enthusiasm & presentations. Keep up the great videos!
Webe Chillin Thanks! I will 👍
Jesse I find this concept of Chinnkuchi similar to "follow through" cross in classic western boxing as executed and explained by Joe Louis. You even let your back leg to come near your front foot to pass all your body weighy exactly as Joe used to do.
This is exactly the essence of Chinese martial arts.We call it zhengjing in Mandarin Chinese or Chengen in Cantonese, which means using full power of the whole body, with the flow of 'qi'.It is also emphasised by Bruce Lee under the name of 'inch punch'. Many styles for example white crane,Taichi,Xingyi and Bagua are using this wave like power and to practice the power, we actually imagine ourself like throwing a ball or be 'like a wave' and throw our all body mass. We also use stance practice with meditation and also slow motion exercises like yoga (we call it qigong)with intention to nurture the power.
The linkage between Chinese kung fu,Okinawan and karate is demonstrated here.
Hi Jessie, upload a video explaining how to train in tight spaces! That would be extremely helpful to a lot of people, since not everyday your in a dojo-like space.
ThunderWiring Cool! Will add it to my list of ideas 👊
Amazing video! Great explanation clarifying the difference between self-perfection and self-protection.
Thank you for great explanation! For a very long time I was puzzled feeling there is something missing (or rather wrong) in a way modern karate teaches strikes with hard kime. I lacks fluidity. In fact when I watched old clips of Gichin Funakoshi perfroming kata, I had impression he is not moving the way they teach today. His technique seems very powerful (as old man) but without this excessive tension we observe today. I never before heard about chinkuchi but you made me clear what I was looking for!
Nice new hairstyle.
Video was of great help.
Big thumps up.
+1 on the hairstyle
Thanks guys, glad you like the video (and my new haircut!) :-)
I'm just worried that I might lose my grip, and the kettlebell flies off from my window and kill my cat or something. 😂
Hi, I have just started karate and am loving your channel! Can't wait to watch all your others. Thanks
Awesome! Enjoy the journey and question everything! :-)
Jesse Enkamp my sensei Says i shouldn't question him...and i think that's why I'm leaving. How am i supposed to know if you don't ask questions. He just says wait till i come around and teach you on my own. Its very frustrating
Just started my kettlebell journey, Oss!
This is a great explanation.....Thank you Jesse E. Sensei......Arigato!
Live2win Uncle E. Much appreciated! 🙏
Excellent! Thank you.
Great Video! I can really relate to the terms you said like "atipa" (not sure if the spelling is correct) since I've been practicing okinawan karate. Chinkuchi means to flow where "atipa" comes in, while kime is focused power. Thanks and keep making videos for the karate community!
In Chinese martial arts this is called fajin (or fajing). You must be supple/relaxed but not limp. Power is released without telegraphing or loading if done correctly. The whole body strikes goes into this.
Keep up the good work👍
Interesting - you essentially described the "scared" power or shock power of our Bamboo Forest Southern Praying Mantis boxing.
wow this gave me a new concept I also misunderstood it with kime thanks for it and nice hairstyle please keep it only
Amrit Singh Thanks! I will try ;-)
Nice video Jesse - I always love your "behind the scenes knowledge" about the origins of karate, from Okinawa o/
Cool to hear there´s a difference! Selfprotection/Perfection of yourself and so on. Really cool!
and don´t trash your dojo :D
Thank you! Makes me super happy to hear :-) Let me know if there are any specific topics you would like me to cover. Cheers!
Any topics : As mentioned in your last video, I would like to hear something about IBUKI :)
I think everyone got "his" kata. I think it´s called *Koshiki no kata* ^^? Mine is : *SANCHIN* and ibuki is a big part of it. I´m trying to "bring my sanchin to perfection" I do this kata every morning and every evening, countless times but still my ibuki feels "weird" ^^°
So yes, that´s some topic :) philosophical input is always welcome too :D
:3 I´m always amazed by your chinkuchi answers. They always hit like a train. BAM!
I see some of the comments asked about injury on the elbows, this why you mentioned use a light kettlebell. These people listened but didn't hear.
You are The best
This is pretty awesome. I'll have to add something like this to my training regimen. By the way, how about a video on self Karate training. For those who wish to learn Karate, but there are no schools anywear near them. I know it would not be the best training, but it would be better than no training.
I can’t wait to get home to try this in my personal dojo
Like this seen many wrestling style exercises for kettlebell. In Switzerland the cattle always had bells around their necks, when removed mud got stuck inside, it was discovered to be a good exercise tool. Russia seemed to be the first to pick up on this, everyone else to be slow on the uptake. Good to see it can be beneficial for striking and technics.
The reason behind tucking thumb right under is so that the thumb knuckle joint does not get injured in contact sports or fighting, some people get a fear of injury to themselves whilst throwing a punch, also the quicker you open the fist after a punch the quicker it gets back in to speed mode.
well, sensei teaching me another mind-expanding concept today as I man my porcelain throne
Very interesting!! Similar to Fajin in inner CHinesseMA
Your explanation of chinkuchi is important and right to the (or better one of the) point(s) here. And damn ... i LIKE IT A LOT, and i LIKE YOUR EXERCISE!. BOOM!
The word "kime" i think is a little .... now well, lets say, it also focuses one point only. The suddenly "stop" through musclecontraction. In other words, the explanation reduces kime to special part of physical technic (the moment of impact). Ki can mean lot of things, such as "Power", "Energy" and sometimes even "spirit". "Me" could be understand as something like a tip/spike, something like this (right?). So Ki-me means (for me, of course) to bring "energy", "power" and spirit (represented by will, sense/awarenes, thoughs, also emotions) all together to "one point", releasing suddenly maximum striking power. Musclecontraction is only one part here. "Chinkuchi" is in my opinion a deeper explanation of a lot of factors to achieve a good, strong or lets say "real" "kime".
Maybe the missconception of "stopping" is a result of modern sports karate, because punches and kicks have to stop right before real impact? Anyway if we have a look on "chinkuchi" (by cecking, what actually masters have to say about it) and all the little details and hints therein, and if we think a little deeper about the physical and philosophical ideas of "kime" - now there are a lot of points of contact here. I think, without the old uchinaguchi-words its not possible, to understand "kime" in its full potential. We (or maybe only I for myself) need the old terms to understand the basic principles of real karate a little better.
Excellent video I have been looking for a way to get the sneeze - startle reflex for ages I thought karate had ( LOST IT ) and only found in Chinese arts , could you please do a post on HEAD MOVEMENT FOR POWER IN KARATE IF Possible . THANKS Keep UP THE GOOD WORK EXCELLENT
What a great video! I can't wait to start practicing this new drill. Chinkuchi seems to me like it is the Okinawan expression of Kung-fu's Fa Jin...well at least my understanding of Fa Jin.
Justin Hodgson Good observation!
Yeah I also think it's a very internal, neijia kind of thing. A very sophisticated way of using your body to accomplish an effective impact.
Thank you Jesse Sensei. Is mine to understand how chinkuchi and mine combine. My sensei is always asking to see kime and had never mentioned chinkuchi, although that may be what he means by power and speed with kime
Very informative
Glad you think so!
@@KARATEbyJesse I followed your channel, there’s a lot of valuable things in Karate
osu! a video about ibuki would be great, how to do it the right way and maybe some techniques to practise. I often see karatekas doing ibuki just with their throat and are getting hoarse. thanx for your videos
Could you do a video explaining and demonstrating gamaku?
Jess how are you? Tks for the excelents tubes and research about karate. This one was fantastic with the difference of kime and chincunchi. But...this exercicse with ktb can hurt the joins? Or there are some type os repetitions that you suggests? Thanks and grettings from South Brazil! Oss
I'll have to use a heavy bag,but then I also found that the one arm clean and jerk with a barbell also does the same thing the kettlebell exercise does it's just the arm is going upward instead of forward
This idea reminds me of baseball or golf. The follow through goes well beyond the strike. Is this a good example?
Awesome explanation(and great haircut 👍🏽)!🔫🔫
varun shah Boom! Thx bro 😎
Ushiro mawashi geri tutorial plz. Great video though.
I don't think that kime is just the contraction at the end of the movement. I don't remember where I heard this or read this but kime is considered as a way of decision. Meaning that it's more a spiritual state. Certainly there is something to see with the word itself. In any case, nice video as usual Jesse san
Dang!!! That was some pretty explosive power moving that kettlebell. I've seen/done similar exercises before, but that looks like it could really cause some damage if you lose control. Both to yourself and your surroundings. Yikes!!!
That would have to be a very light kettlebell to do safely. Kettlebells are a very tool for conditioning for karate but please use the kettlebell specific movements for optimal benefits and not greatly risking injury
😭😭😭😭....can i use it for standing any kinds of stances? ???is it useful??????😄
Which one is better for ko power
Is chinkuchi the same as fa jin from chinese internal martial arts?
Without kime/tanden where does your structure and base come from?
Hello from India
Heeeey India!
Jesse Enkamp oss
Oss !
How much does a kettlebell weigh?
Does it damage the tissues of the hand???
Would there be any other good exercises anyone knows of for this? I've got no access to that equipment unfortunately.
Ed F Yes, like I mention at the end of the video, makiwara is best 👍
Is it possible to use anything heavy or do you have to use a kettle bell?
U WOT M8 You can do variations too 😊
Gesundheit jesse
Bryce Keeney Thanks!
The same technique ia using in boxing, when you move like throwing the enemy.
So this exercise is to expand/reflex the energy, while punching or snapping, m I right Jesse san?
Try it out! :-)
Chinkuchi can only be achieved with properly utilized Gamaku. If you "sneeze" with your arms only, or even with some Koshi, you will not achieve the destructive power that the concept of Chinkuchi provides unless Gamaku is used to generate it.
Pax
Jesse are you swedish jag är snälla svara
But sensei jesse this kind of exercise will make over extension right? So giving this much power for the punch will effect our elbow right?
muhammed sajjad
No, because the punch should be coming from every muscle in the body, from the legs to the hips up to the hands. Your elbow and hand should be locked to prevent that
Imagine youbare throwing a stone I think you should need to strighten your hands while you are shooting. So your elbow will get the strain. So if you are using big stone how do you feel and where you will feel the pressure. And a punch you are throwing to forward and if you are using weight for punch you will get the strain on your elbow right?
The elbow should of course be locked when it reaches a certain degree of extension. But this only seems to be contradicting. The relaxation doesn't come from the elbow joint. It the whole body, your weight that is allowed to (slightly) follow through. It's about putting your weight into the punch, letting yourself sink into the punch in fast, controlled but also heavy, inert way. Just like you don't overly extend your elbow, your don't overly expose your whole posture. Relaxing into the punch doesn't mean to completely collapse into the direction your moving.
Usually train with 16kg or higher kettlebells... if I do this with them will I see my arm flying across the dojo still attached to the kettlebell???
Only one way to find out! PS. Remember to film it :-)
Open the windows first. Broken glass in a dojo is a mess... But I was thinking the same - even with only 5 kilo´s ^^°
This is fa jin in kung fu .. and because okinawa karate is coming from kung fu, japanese kept the same concept but with less understanding
A lot of us are forgetting this type of punching. I saw an Okinawan Master that said, "Karate is not a sport,
and when you punch imagine you are breaking bones." You have to have this type of punching for you could save a life some day. (I'm going to have to try the "spring up push ups."
They look like they would be fun! 😀 Back in the early 1980's, I went to a game place with my Sifu and I did a 6" palm strike to the punching machine. It registered 300 pounds. Is that good, average or weak for a strike? I never asked a lot of people for it would look like I was trying to brag. I'm just curious about it And U still am.
I have no strength to carry that 🤔
A bit dangerous.I have a dog in my home...
31st
Star playz 😜👍
Too bad that hair cut isn't showing off all them karate gains!!
Lucas Biohazerd Yeah bro! Need a sleeveless gi 💪
You should buy one from Master Ken's uniform line, Say-Chin Ameri-Do-Te International.
Sorta like shot put! I better be careful with this in my small room.
As a gym rat kettlebells are forbidden.
Dumbbells only 💪
