@@KARATEbyJesse i agree. Biomecanics is the next level of training because it put in context why we do what we do and how to improve oneself. I'm looking forward that you do it !
Obi wan said it best to Luke Skywalker, strecth yours feelings. Sijo Lee said it in Enter the Dragon, "Feel, dont think." True content is never enough feel the punch as to stretch all of weight of your own body mass into one single relaxed motion and end with a devastating quick whips. In short use all necessary in one relaxed and, Wapah flow from. -OAM. Thank you Mr. Enkamp you do remind me basics are the essence of what is the pure core of Martial thinking and living.
This is a very good insight into the mechanics of movements, really for all too often we focus on the "big" things such as contraction & tensing but we rarely focus on the "small" things e.g. core muscle stremgth or in this case T-spine flexibility. That actually make a huge difference in the efficacy of our execution. Kudos!
Great video. Dr Maurino knows his stuff. Tatsuya Naka also explains it quite well in his videos. He throws some of the best non-telegraphed punches and kicks. They are invisible upon entry.
It is said by a Ba Ji Quan Sifu, a punch is already started when the hand besides the waist (to launch a punch). Shall the opponent close the distance to you, if you master stances fluidly, your stances might lead to easy-shift to other attack such as attack with shoulders or elbow or a take down. That's why it is important to consider to practice the preparation (initial position) and deliverence until end point when launching an attack, not just considering the end point. Because if you only considering the end point, when your opponent change his position, those end point will give him opening and might be disadvantage for you as it will lack of power. I also found the same principle from some Okinawan Karate I recognize such as Uechi Ryu and Goju Ryu. Not sure with other style. Note: Ba Ji Quan is one of Chinesse martial art, translated to roughly "eight extreme fist" (also means 8 directional fist to emphasis it's explosiveness), quite popular in Japan, Sensei Tatsuya Naka also did some exchange knowledge with Ba Ji Quan master in Japan.
While Dr. Maurino is correct that PHYSICALLY a punch starts from the thoracic, I would say that it actually begins mentally when the mind recognizes the input from the senses and decides upon the target either consciously or subconsciously. Then it tells the body to begin all the movements that were talked about in this video.
Very instructive. Thank you. I think the stabilizer/mobilizer is relative for the movement though. For example in boxing, while avoining punches to the sides, the hips work as a stabilizer, that will switch the whole scheme, being everything from the hips under a stabilizer. Furthermore, there are two kinds of joits, ankles and shoulders work 360 degrees, knees and elbows roughly 180 and unidirectional. Hips are like the first( ankles and shoulders), like direction free(a ball)probably a little more limited backwards. The spine is another story, where the main roles are taken by the muscles: abbs and "lumbs" lift the whole like a hanging bridge. So its good to have balance there and not just support your back with "lumbs"(sorry the ignorance). Which will stress it and since there's a nervous center there it will be neural pain and not muscular pain( after the lactic acid thing). Muscular pain being positive and neural pain being negative(injury). Moving up, the same hanging bridge principle applyes for head and arms. (Had to correct some spelling)
Keep it up Sensei. you are the only teacher of karate whom I saw teaching the way that's the most suitable for anyone. by the way, sensei pls tell me the best exercises for belly abs pls
In kickboxing n boxing the punch start from rotating the leg n the hips to the shoulder the punch. It gives more speed n more distance comparing to a classic karate punch
Watched this video multiple times already and learned so much. Really loved your Ohan Dai tutorial, can you do a similar tutorial to the Okinawan version of Anan?
Well i do boxing but in my opinion or what i have learned is the punch is generate by the spine like he said but if we want to increase more power we'd use our leg and twist or move our hips to increase more power.
In the last few years I learned and shaped they way I explain people how to generate power, how here's the explanation of the "why" as well! Thank you Sensei Enkamp, thank you Sensei Maurino (I missed you quite a bit after you disappeared from the Kata contests and teachings, those where the younger Jesse was sneaking in like a little fox at the icecream cake parties :) )!
Excellent efforts on your part. You are always distinguished in your choice and in the topics presented, in addition to the professional people you choose. I wish you success. You are a legend
Extending ten meters beyond reach... Or 'hitting through the target', as i recognize from systema. Takes some practice so as not to destroy your elbow? I guess the hazard of overextending the elbow is why striking with a baton should be done in a circular motion rather than a straight. Another reason would be to come back in a 'loaded position' after delivering a blow, in order to hit again.
Always good lessons from Dr. Lucio. Nice KU rash guard. Personally still feel that the best way to teach beginners is to punch from the floor/ feet. Hips are way to over-cued. Without the power transfer from the floor and a stiff core it's impossible to transfer any real amount of power to the fist.
Hi Jesse, great video! (Plus, dr. Maurino is a connational of mine 😀) I'd like to give a suggestion for a future video... could you cover the kaisai theory (kaisai no genri) for kata bunkai? Thank you, good day!
Really good analysis on things when where punching and kicking starts but ultimately power comes from the waist like the g.o.a.t legendary Bruce Lee said from the waist of course the whole focus should be on the annihilation of your target or targets this is a good analysis on the study on how the structuring of human bodies work well done as always very informative and always fight on 👊👍
Jesse, how to improve the “Ju” and be less “Go”? I really have a problem on letting de movement flow freely and cannot contract only at the end. Is there any content about this part? I feel is also a metaphor for life. That’s what inspires me so much about Goju Ryu and Karate itself. Thanks for you amazing work. 🙇🏻♂️
When I studied Shotokan Karate (I had to stop because of health issues), our teacher kept saying that the focal point was always the hips for both kicks and punches, and that movement had to be developed with your entire body, either to strengthen or to stabilize.
Did I break the board? 👀
Yes
no
I think the floor broke the board 😆 lol

His precision in that Karate tournament was amazing. I've got to try these exercises next class.
Good luck!! Don’t cramp up like I did 🤣
@@KARATEbyJesse I want to see Enkamp Sensei spar with Hotton Sensei. Have you seen this man?
I know this answer… from the end of a Yo Momma joke!!
Oh yes... The duality of man.
Took me a bit to put 2 and 2 together to realize you were answering the rhetorical question in the title, but that is creative, good one lol.
well i saw this one coming
Funny…. Think of you saying a joke about Jesse’s mother
OMG man 😅😅😅😅
I would love to see a video that is a really through breakdown of the biomechanics behind a punch or some other fundamental karate technique.
You mean like this video?
@@KARATEbyJesse Yes, but even more!!

"...Congratulation to your work, it is always amazing.." Yes, that's right, thank you Jesse, for your inspirational power :-)
An interview with this sensei would be amazing !
That was pure gold. I am going to need to be mindful of this in my practice.

It's nice to see a scientific explanation of physical body mechanics from an expert 👌
Just got my brown belt today,this is perfect!🔥💯
Congrats! 😇
Jesse sensei !!!! I want to join your KARATE Nerd SEMINAR!!!!! 🥋❤️ love from Myanmar 🇲🇲
You’re very welcome!
Lucio Maurino Great Master! Thank you Sensei Jesse for this Superlesson! Oss from Italy💯
I am glad to agree.
Im amazed: His explanation reminds me more the okinawan chinkuchi principle then japanese "Kime". Thanks for the stuff again, Jesse Sensei 🙏
it is nice Jesse San that you divided this video into chapters

Always a fan of videos when you talk about the biomechanics mixed with Karate, it is something that must not be overlooked!
Grande Lucio, mare di conoscenza!!! And great work Jesse for bringing so many karate nerds :).
It's like the karate avengers assemble
Best intro to a video!
MARTIAL ARTS is AMAZING...You can do those same exercises in Tai Chi Chun and Brazilian Jui Jitsu.

Videos like this show there's more than one way to throw a punch, very useful information on body mechanics as well.
Maurino sensei is amazing 🙏
I agree

Came here to learn more about punches, learned how to crack my spine. Worth. 👍
So good. Thanks for interviewing this biomechanist. His explanations are spot on and sorely confused by many MA instructors.
In kickboxing n boxing the punch start from rotating the leg n the hips to the shoulder the punch.
It gives more speed n more distance comparing to a classic karate punch
Good explanation on extension of shoulder
Thanks both senseis
Great explanation, better technics. Thank you Jesse.
Arigatou gozaimasu, Jesse-san!!! I think this explain some points about the forgotten "Line of Might"...
Bravo Jesse pour votre recherche martiale.
Awesome. Thanks Jesse!
Yes you did
The starting of video made me remember :-
"Boards don't hit back"❤️🔥
Watched this video multiple times already and learned so much.
Really loved your Ohan Dai tutorial, can you do a similar tutorial to the Okinawan version of Anan?
Very informative video. Some helpful tips to improve power.
More like this!
Can't believe I've been doing those exercises all along. I just did it because it felt nice.
Great interview Jesse
Very technical. It is essential to understand body mechanics. All this in one technique
That’s why it’s an art and a science! 😎
Well i do boxing but in my opinion or what i have learned is the punch is generate by the spine like he said but if we want to increase more power we'd use our leg and twist or move our hips to increase more power.
Super! A tai chi class 😏
Lots of learning...arigatou
As a Chinese Kung fu internal stylist He explained pretty much a lot of what we do
Thank you Jesse sensei and Maurino sensei for the wholesome explanation
Mind blowing knowledge!!! Is there more to this topic you might share with us? Thank you!
More coming!

These areas appear to be where Sanchin kata builds strength and resilience. Those two simple breathing exercises really look worth trying, too.
This is awesome!

Fantastic information, loved it.
Nice simple techniques to try out.
Excellent awesome explanation thank you Jesse sensei
I'm actually working on thorasic mobility right now! Suffer from bad cramps too, so will try these exercises out
Good luck! Start slowly and gradually progress 💪
Punch ends when you bring back to starting position as quickly as possible
Great content :)
Thank you! always amazing !!!!
Great video Jesse. I love learning the physiology involved in karate.
Thanks!! Me too 😄
That was very INFORMATIVE and usefull, thanks a lot!!!
Good video Jesse, good to refresh my knowledge on bio mechanics. This also applies to throws and kicks

When I studied Shotokan Karate (I had to stop because of health issues), our teacher kept saying that the focal point was always the hips for both kicks and punches, and that movement had to be developed with your entire body, either to strengthen or to stabilize.
The hip is the primary mechanism through which acceleration reaches its potential 👍
Great video. The question I have is, how should the t-spine move with the punch? Flex, extend, or rotate? Thank you for all the great work.
