i have been passionate about martial arts since childhood and i had been looking into all possible styles to understand what makes up a real fighter capable to fight all odds.my search continues still and i find your theory very true to the core of every martial art.it is this part of relaxaion that many people neglect. i have always wanted to become a good fighter.my place is very remote and here the system doesnt provide one with the resources to study authentic martial art.i live to find the truth behind this.i really find your instructions true to the core.just thought i would share my opinion. lots n lots of respect to you sir!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wanna train with you:)!! respect!!
+vishnu sudheer Respect for you young man! I suggest making an investment in The Tao of Jeet Kune Do by Bruce Lee. It's the bible of martial arts theory, among other great one's of course.
vishnu sudheer you got the point. Its all about body weight, force transfer during movement. If your mind is not aware of it then you lose balance and fall or just have weak punch or kick. Be flexible like a cat, know when to apply force and tense your muscle. Its all about the principles of martial art. Otherwise you kick or punch like a robot.
dont know why everytime watching a scene of Master DK Yoo takes me in deep state of calmness concentration .its like my soul inside is moving and watching it in different dimension as he does the moves ... Respect him.
Mr. Yoo, I enjoy watching your videos very much. You are a very impressive martial artist. I would imagine it is a painful joy to train with you. Thank you for posting!!! I hope you share more :)
12 years training martial arts. But, until Master Yoo, never knew the true power that is within us. He is harnessing the most powerful part of our bodies from all angles. The same power that I use to hit a golf ball with my driver over 300 yards, is the power that I did not use in any of the martial arts that I train. I hope to train with Master Yoo one day. Truly Enlightening.
I have just recently found this master and I regret to say why I hadn’t found him sooner, he turns fighting into a genuine art. I hope to come to a seminar to see this great and humble man.
Agree - I notice that when dealing with numerous attackers, he usually deals with about two at most and stays behind the back of one attacker. In his fighting style, there is a lot of brain power involved; well, that's what appears to me anyway. I can remember being told by a martial artist that when facing many attackers (e.g. a group of thugs), IF YOU CAN, find a corner - that way, you only have 90 degrees of on-coming attacks. Failing that, back to a wall - 180 degrees is better than 360 degrees. At the time, I thought it was kind of counter-intuitive (but I was too young ~ about 10 years old). Luckily, I have never had to be in such situation (thank goodness) - being locked up in prison and becoming a b!tch in prison is the last place I want to be. There is more to life than wasting time/life with stupid people.
That's exactly what they taught us on taekwondo camp. The tension should be just for a milisecond, an impulse, and the rest is just innertion of your body. That's how one of the strongest strickes in the world is done - a kick of a horse
DK , I currently do Wing Chun , and your technique , relaxed top an bottom have greatly helped both Tai chi , and Wing Chun . Much Appreciation an Love Brother
So this is what Sifu meant by kung fu being effective for dealing with multiple punks. Relaxation leads to a sort of pinball machine type effect. Move like a whip, fast flexible and explosive. Awesome video thanks.
He is right. If one actually is sincerely interested in martial arts, and thinks like Bruce Lee did, teach something from every style a little bit, you automatically earn or think about this teaching from here, that was my case. Great teaching! Thanks for the video.
he forgets to mention why its effective essentially with a tensed fist only, youre detaching the weight of your fist/arm from your body. this, in turn, creates a throwing effect now imagine throwing a 1.5 - 5kg weight at someones face. thats the concept of the force behind this strike (the more you relax, as well as practice, the more % of arm weight you can throw) hope that helped
this man is very knowledge in what he does. would be a real privilege to learn from him. anyone know where I can find more videos of his? I do need English subtitles tho
the body can generate a tremendous amount of speed when it's relaxed, the last few moments as DK YOO stated is the moment of impact, where you apply body mechanics once again to create enormous power. I have been working on my technique as well, I get the basic concept of it as Bruce Lee did his one-inch punch, and I did mine, just getting the entire body to do that, now that's an entirely different thing.
You can add up to 10x more power with relaxed strikes, use a fraction of the effort and be 5 times faster due to your own muscles hindering your movements. Did I mention you could strike from mere inches away with knockout power? Less tension, less effort, less of a need/want to fight: wu wei in martial practice :) DY Yoo has perfected this. Amituofo
Chalchiuitlyollotl This is true, but nearing maximun force of a striker, a movement of tension will generate more force (in a single movement). But of course if you are facing multiple opponents, in a small area (small corridor, elevator etc,) where you cant generate power for larger movements with tension (lack of space and against multiple opponents this will leave you open to counters) the relaxed movements are by far superior.
he is perfect, looks very similar to break dance... I can see many saying he will loose in MMA in cage... I doubt that...the principles are the same, just that there are more limitations in MMA... He will adapt very easily and can beat MMA fighters too...
+Anand Nidamanuru Well, MMA is it's own beast. Like you said, it has limitations and restrictions. He doesn't necessarily have the BJJ or Wrestling training to go to the ground and control the opponent comfortably. Then again, let's not forget the impact of sheer athleticism. It takes a lot of training and endurance to get your body to the level it needs to be. I agree that if he trained mma he would probably do great. Would love to see it.
rizv1 Here's the thing, an MMA competition is a sport, not a fight. A fight can be over in seconds. A MMA match requires the training over time component to build massive endurance, stamina, power etc. Nobody is so badass that you can go into something without the specific training necessary to meet the cardio, strength, and conditioning requirements. I assure you, if you spoke to this man he would tell you the same.
Battle starts in the mind , and his mind isnt random , like the lot in states . The man trains Special Ops , lol so , I'm pretty sure if that was his plan Victory would Surely follow . MMA lol close quarters combat an Tai chi alone of the 15 is knowledge enough.
Should you ball up your fist with enough pressure as if you are doing a fist push-up? The swing + snap truely does mimic the whip-like movement. I suppose you wouldn't want to follow through with the strike since once you make contact, you are suppose to relax your body/fist (which could hurt your wrist if you follow through at such state).
i just found out about your channel DK YOO and your videos are awe inspiring. i was fiddleing around in my apt one day and this attribute i found out and stumbled upon this i don't know what you call it but the part where you say "proper techniques are automatically generated in each situation" i dont know if its due to the realsing of tension but it would seem two movements could be interchangeable like one loop. Your really the only person i seen who have talked about this. no where else anywhere for that fact has this kind of information. im curious about your system of fighting but i never had any sort of instruction other than a promo session for kickboxing. im asking for help other than am i on the right path. i know nothing of your work sir othr than the videos ive just seen but im really just a basic learner. do you think if i keep at it since theres some science behind it (physics) that there are only a finite number of ways even though repeating could make it endless
Eastern people are more mathematics thinking, wester people are.more make.cash thinking... When it comes to fighting, easter people take the hard and long run to learn the principles of a system, while western training is based on digging into moves and techniques as sequences rather than compared to eastern, learning the principles in general, so they don't need to learn separate techniques.
+Lonely Alex He refers to physiological differences not ideological. Summing it up, body characteristics instead of way of thinking and learning. Don't you think? Greetings.
+The Great Name I' m sure he is talking about common height and weight as other physical and chemical properties of their bodies. I don' t mark them precisely due to I don't know how many of them can be and have been marked. Greetings.
the point is, that these strikes with “tension“ doesnt get that long as as strikes with relaxation.. in this demonstration. Thats why many martial arts fighter are saying that you should try to punch through your opponent and not to set a punch on your opponent.. a punch with tension that gets “through“ your opponent is effective..
how much more impact does it have for bodyshots? And rapid succession shots on the same spot good enough to make someone lose the will to fight? Kyokushin Karate doesnt allow shots to the face.
he pretty much shows how to throw a punch while putting the entire weight of the attack on the oponent and a Hard attack to the Liver or Diafragma will probobly make your oponent crumble
K I think he means that by doing relaxed strikes you not only generate more force with less effort, but also are ready to change the target faster. When you hit with full tension your muscles stop you from moving freely, thus makes your movement slower. I don't think that you need a tension punch to really stop someone from fighting. You can use those punches to either push them away to open an escape route or hit weak spot like the throat to stop the attacker(s). That's how I understood it :D
at first i don't know what the Relaxation in the video title means, only after the 1st minute of watching the vid, i know that relaxation means, the one who get punched should relax so his body will move alot 😂😂😂
You realize he could win AMERICA's GOT TALENT or ANY talent show for that matter, also, he would be top in the world for dance competition as well, for his pop-locking robot syle.
What are the physiological differences in western and eastern people, that you briefly mention in this video? And how should the training differ from another? Thank you! Ps! Nice video!
Just a guess, but probably body frame, muscle growth/density/volume, natural flexibility, and height/weight. Perhaps some martial arts are made for eastern physiques to compensate arm/leg reach, or to optimize the smaller body size for quicker attacks; while others would benefit a body type that can use higher impact attacks or utilize longer range motions. I don't know much myself but I would imagine grappling moves would benefit someone smaller over someone larger, especially taller, since there's less limb length to work with. For example, 2 persons, 5ft vs 6ft, same weight go against each other. If it's strictly judo, I think the smaller person would win since they have a lower center of gravity and will have an easier time grabbing/grappling the longer person, but if it were boxing or a striking motion martial arts, the taller person would win due to their length of reach.

Arguably the best explaination of what he is doing over having an interpreter
Beautiful! Meditation in motion!
the moment you realize you have to fight this guy. to learn.
I'd fight him for no reason at all
@@guerrillavanillau can fight me.. u can fight me
thank you so much for the translation
amazing instructor. and amazing style by far my favorite
He is a world expert and transmits a humility worthy of admiration.
Thank you sir I have been learning from you and your videos help me to improve myself.... Thanks a lot......
dk yoo can really do a robot dance move or pop lock with all the relaxation go on. Cuz when he move it almost like a dance move to me
Travis Padilla check out his other video. search for dk yoo using popping dance or something
OK cool I'll check it out thanks
Bstlaz I'm going to try this in my Systema class and at home thanks
It is because you were into dance before this. IF you were into fighting first, you would say to all dances that are like a martial move.
Great content on bio mechanical efficiency and effectiveness
So this is what Sifu meant by kung fu being effective for dealing with multiple punks. Relaxation leads to a sort of pinball machine type effect. Move like a whip, fast flexible and explosive. Awesome video thanks.

You would know why its effective if you master it.
No coincidence that Alis power and balance all came from the hips and Fedor was the most relaxed hitter in MMA history
This, my lord, makes you a king!
You are the one.. Fast ..power and flexibility you are the new Bruce Lee all respect for you..
this man is very knowledge in what he does. would be a real privilege to learn from him. anyone know where I can find more videos of his? I do need English subtitles tho
DK, the world will find out this December, if you can really apply what you know or not to the ring.
Awesome thank you

Thanks for subtitle 😊
"no matter what martial art you do, you need to develop your own system"
Before I die I want to meet this guy, and it even rhymes. 😁
Thankyou for putting English subs
Abselutely yes when u relax after every attack u will take multiple oppends
Incase u forget, kaku kaioh showed this on his fight with hanma. Total relaxation haha

thanks for this techniqes and subtitles thanks a lot...
Just curious: At the beginning he mentions "physiological differences between western and eastern people". Which differences exactly does he mean?
d.k yoo amazing talented man and also dangerous man
you teach me a lot. thank'u
best i never seen so far
and what physiological differences are these besides average build and height variations?
請問這是什麼拳 有點像截拳道??
you are great dk yoo
Wow, I'm trying this in Friday's class
Will do
How did it turn out???
DKYoo is good, i can't see his leverage and it has double factor when it connects.
Wow, very impressive!
I wish dk yoo would make more videos like this rather than be obsessed with boxing
thank you
Can u please put translation on the other videos ..... Dk`s techinque looks very formidable
is he relaxed during the whole strike? or just at the impact of the strike?
DK You are something else. Have to be Bruce Lee reincarnated.
excellent! awesome master
thank you master.

Thank you so much for your great videos. I think you are a good person and a great instructor!!
You know how to optimize body. I will study your concept.
I would love to train under this instructed DK Yoo.....where do they have these schools at...?
so a relaxed type of strike is good to use to buy time when taking to people on? until you have opportunity to take one out with a tension strike?
K I think he means that by doing relaxed strikes you not only generate more force with less effort, but also are ready to change the target faster. When you hit with full tension your muscles stop you from moving freely, thus makes your movement slower. I don't think that you need a tension punch to really stop someone from fighting. You can use those punches to either push them away to open an escape route or hit weak spot like the throat to stop the attacker(s). That's how I understood it :D
the moment between the second strike; the power is pretty,Where do I register?

Does DK Yoo ever come to the USA? Where to and when?
It must be something else to train with him.
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaoouuu !! The best
What kind of jacket is this guy wearing? I'm trying to buy it
He now sells them on his website.
Fascia tensioning in plain sight
You realize he could win AMERICA's GOT TALENT or ANY talent show for that matter, also, he would be top in the world for dance competition as well, for his pop-locking robot syle.
Nice video, did you also practice Wing Chun or Jeet Kune Do...?
What are the physiological differences in western and eastern people, that you briefly mention in this video? And how should the training differ from another?
Thank you!
Ps! Nice video!
Just a guess, but probably body frame, muscle growth/density/volume, natural flexibility, and height/weight.
Perhaps some martial arts are made for eastern physiques to compensate arm/leg reach, or to optimize the smaller body size for quicker attacks; while others would benefit a body type that can use higher impact attacks or utilize longer range motions.
I don't know much myself but I would imagine grappling moves would benefit someone smaller over someone larger, especially taller, since there's less limb length to work with. For example, 2 persons, 5ft vs 6ft, same weight go against each other. If it's strictly judo, I think the smaller person would win since they have a lower center of gravity and will have an easier time grabbing/grappling the longer person, but if it were boxing or a striking motion martial arts, the taller person would win due to their length of reach.
Finally with CC
i want to learn from DK yet i have so many flaws and other worries in life...
this is awesome
good jobs men
Is this for western or eastern peapole
the difference is the target is also relaxed
THIS IS DISENGENIOUS. Why is the pad guy standing square AND holding the pad away from his body? Is this for exhibition purposes? Not only is he absorbing everything in his shoulder but he is allowing his shoulder to roll with the impact and by standing square he has no balance. It gives the illusion that DK Yoo's punches are so strong that the pad guy cant handle them.
I think his advice is geniune but the gimmicky theatrics are fantasy?
