    It's a great point about what works on screen and what doesn't.
    John Wayne was a mentor of a lot younger actors in brawls during films. That's why Wayne always reached way back, balled up his fist and displayed a huge telegraphed punch to include the audience.
    A perfect example is good old school proffessional wrestling.
    It's designed to emotionally put you right in the ring with whatever character that your connected to via the storyline.

      I wasn't surprised that Jesse would shoot that well; impressed, but not surprised. His control of his body and his breathing would give him a massive edge. I don't know if Sensei Seth or Wonderboy shoot, but they'd probably be very good for noobs, too. Hashtag karate gang.

I love that he's super serious about his love for the art but he's also willing to play around and have a good time. Quite a difference of personality here compared to a lot of his interviews where he's very serious. It seems like both of you had a great time together filming and hanging around.

  • @chadwickreno8499
    @chadwickreno8499 Рік тому +189

    He has a very high fight IQ and a sharp eye for details like a fighter's rhythm. Although most people can attest to the importance of not telegraphing your strikes, I found his explanation of people not being able to judge distance from the front pretty eye opening, and it makes sense when you start to think of taillights in the back of cars for example. Also, engaging the hips at the last second really helps you understand how to both train for and apply the concept in your training, since most fighters' muscle memory is already adapted to doing the opposite.
    Edit: spelling

The shooting stunned us all, even if it might only be 25 m it's the security aspect around it that makes one nervous especially the first time around!

    The concept he's explaining at 4:00 also appears very often in HEMA. In European swordsmanship, one very common theme is that the hands move before any other part of the body, be it the hips or shoulders or legs or anything. By initiating the actual attack itself (even just milliseconds) before putting the rest of your body into it, you can cut down telegraphing by a mountain.
    It's always funny how much all martial arts share in basic body mechanics.

      Yeah its very interesting. I had teachers both in Wing Chun and Boxing teaching this, what can be difficult though is to apply it with as much force, as its generally easier to develop force if you make use of your body momentum first.
      Thats one of the reasons why many teachers of Wing Chun emphasizes many strikes, especially on weak/critical points, using before mentioned principal.

    • @KickinItStudios

      so funny seeing this comment. HEMA is what lead me to be interested in martial arts as a whole, trying to take elements from all styles and blend it into my fencing. i found one of sensei seth's videos on the subject which lead over to jesse. love when i see someone in the squad being the camera man for other people too. it's like a little cinematic universe easter egg.
