I saw the low view count and assumed lower quality. Nope. Not at all. Not even a little bit. May the Algorithm treat you better in the future. I forgot I was subscribed for a reason!
NEVER assume lower quality! Thank you for your support. Regardless of if the algorithm supports me or not, I will continue to make content as I have a message to say to the world that is unique and I'm confident will help some people.
Thanks for your continued support Rob! I plan to make it a series yes. My next video will likely be parkour related, however it may be more of a discussion video rather than a tutorial, not sure yet. Let me know what you'd like to see!
I just signed up for my first Spartan Race. Any running or obstacle advice or training would be great for me but I don't know about your other viewers. The martial art videos are great too 👍
@@Robert-vv6qp you'll fucking dominate that race if you get the two vaults I already posted down and if I can get my vertical wallrun tutorial up in time. I actually already filmed it but I wasn't happy with the footage, as you can see in those video, my lavaliere mic wasn't working so I had to use the camera mic, I hated it lol. I'll try and refilm it asap.
Good stuff man! Good to see you producing content! I train, Tang Soo Do (Korean Karate) and Quan-Fa (Chinese Kempo) I've always loved learning various martial arts. ✊🥋
I studied Shotokan karate for many years when I was younger and never once were we told this is how it's taught and trained (with the wide/low stances) but don't try to apply it like this on the street. Now I'm older that seems obvious, but back then it was easy to assume you apply it how it's taught. I don't want to diss the style but how the attacks play out in the various katas are completely unrealistic and hence most time spent learning the various kata is just a waste. I've never been a fan of the blocking system used in Shotokan either, especially the rising head block used to deflect a straight punch thrown at the face/head. I know of numerous instances of Shotokan black belts who spent 4 years punching and kicking air in the dojo only to then get their ass kicked when they tried to use what they'd been taught when attacked by a thug on the street who had never trained! The other issue is never getting properly hit in the face so when it occurs for the first time on the street it shocks the victim and they simply freeze up. When compared to a style like boxing or Muay Tai where you're getting smacked in the face repeatedly and therefore get used to it there's simply no comparison. Another issue is never being told about and learning to deal with the heavy adrenaline dump that always occurs during any confrontation. If this isn't recognised for what it is and learned to be dealt with and harnessed correctly, most will mistake it for fear and simply fall to pieces. It's purpose is to help you at the end of the day by making you temporarily faster and stronger whilst also helping you deal with any physical pain, but if you haven't learned to recognise and deal with it it's pointless. I'm not saying the style is completely worthless or can't be adapted to work on the street but just that it needs to be taught in a less traditional way and needs more hard sparring involved just like you'd get in a traditional boxing gym. Just some thoughts for anyone thinking of taking karate for defence to consider...
Love the little illustrations.

If everyones likes and comments, it'll be better.
Interesting video
Another great video. I hope this becomes a series like Parkour/ free running.

Thanks for the vote of confidence. Your first video has already been very helpful. Can't wait for the wall video 👍
