As a 3rd Dan I have been practicing for many decades. I find these videos very helpful to anyone, whether just beginning or very experienced. The basics are everything you need to know. To master the basics is to master the art.
doing Martial Arts my whole life including Karate, the one thing all Karatka really need to change is pulling the non pinching hand to the waist (yes pulling hand..... ) ; it develops a really bad habit, it needs to be pulled back to the Jaw, even the Machidas made this change in their Karate system as well as many other Karatka, (MIke Winkeljohn and John Hackelman, trainers of World Champion UFC fighters also teach pulling the non punching hand to the jaw) ...
Good point - as I noted in my other comment, I think practicing different hand positions is an excellent idea, and one we do in our own training as well. Pulling can be a good idea if someone wants to strengthen those muscles specifically, or is thinking of applications where grabbing is involved. But, learning to keep the hands up when punching or kicking is also essential.
@@KarateTraining yes when grabbing is involved , but imo Karate primary function is self defense, and pulling the non punching hand to the waist develops bad habits ... years back (before even Machida start doing it) , I started dding a few Kata pulling the non punching hand to the Jaw, pretty easy ... well every time I pulled to the hip I started over, started over several times, in a self defense situation you may only get one chance
Thank you for this video! UA-cam suggested it to me, I looked it up and since I was idle for an hour, I just did some karate training with you. --- Many greetings from Germany!
@@KarateTraining I thank you! This gives me the opportunity to train karate in my living room, even if I can't go to the dojo for work or family reasons.
Muchas gracias desde España por este nuevo video de entrenamiento. Me encanta vuestra forma de entrenar, es un entrenamiento inteligente y combinais los desplazamientos, los ataques y defensas haciendo muy verosímil lo que podría ocurrir en un combate real. Hacéis una anticipación simulada de movimientos orientada al ataque y defensa de un oponente, donde el oponente también avanza se defiende y golpea. Me encanta vuestra inteligencia aplicada en el entrenamiento, y la intención real que constuis con cada moviendo. Solo puedo magnificar y reconocer vuestra excelente calidad en el entrenamiento que realizáis, donde todo es aprovechable y con una finalidad muy concreta. Muchas gracias.
You imo need to modify the drill starting at 8:53 to pull the non punching hand to the Jaw , even Machida modified his drills to pull the non punching hand to the Jaw, I believe do to the fact prior he was pulling the hand low (do to the bad habit) and was rocked by Jon Jones for lack of defense than choked out ... pulling the non punching hand to the waist is like a religion for many, like the Cult of Hikite .... for more power generation imo , punch through the Yaka Zuki/ reverse punch just a second longer (like your trying to punch through the back of the persons head) OSS/ OSU , keep training and maybe take a MMA fight one day
Good point about the hikite hand - certainly a good idea to train both positions (pulled to hip or keeping up/protecting). We certainly do both in our dojo training or at home (just not every video). I’m familiar with Abernethy’s arguments about the pulling hand and agree we can’t get dogmatic about any one view. Using a retraction hand just because, or to make more power, isn’t the best reason. But for me, I if often do it because it trains my muscles to pull on the other side - as though I am holding someone’s arms, or they are grabbing me. My main motivations for training are lifelong health, so I’m thinking about my techniques and how they support a balanced body. But you are right that if one is thinking of “consensual physical violence” with another martial artist, keeping the non punching hand higher is likely a better training tool. The last caveat to that (I actually have a lot of thoughts on hikite!) is I’ve looked at many of the top boxers and mma fighters in slow motion - and most actually do pull their non punching hands lower when making a power punch (it’s just natural) but keep it higher when just testing out their opponent. It’s really interesting. For example, if you were told you had to break as many boards as possible with one reverse punch, would you keep your non punching hand by your chin, or let it flow with the momentum of your body? When I think of that question is casts a different light on how we might think of the hikite hand, and its role in power.

@@KarateTraining I agree pulling the non punching hand back adds power, my favorite video. next
