Karate saved my life in high school. Bully called me out by my locker and I took him down, but I realized what I did and ran away back home. Only use karate when it truly necessary
IForgot HisName Not too late to start, man! In my dojo (Shorinji Kempo, not Karate) there is a 60-70yo green belt kenshi, who has never practised martial arts before and he's going strong. No more excuses, man!
Same I started when I was 11 and my teacher wanted me in the torderments straight away aha, I moved quiet a lot when I was young so I just gave up on sport because I knew I’d keep moving, but I’ve started back at it again I’m currently 16 so it’s great
Good question. You need to distinguish between basics and application. You would rarely see someone in a real fight try to balance a punch by pulling the other arm to the hip. When practicing basics, the objective is to refine your technique and work toward better harmony. On another level, it may not just pulling the hand back, but pulling and striking. There are many layers of understanding to peel off.
This is for practice punching. As one arm comes back the other goes out, thus creating additional power while turning at the hips. No one would use this technique in an actual fight or even kumite competition.
In a real fight you don't actually pull the other arm all the way back, it's just to burn the movement into your muscle of using your hips and pulling the arm back to generate more power.
I always wondered this, I'm not knocking it, I'm genuinely curious.. but doesn't this technique of punching leave you with absolutely no guard to defend all those knockout points across your face and jawline?
It looks as if your shoulder is pushed forward instead of locked down. Punching a makiwara or heavy boxing bag will correct the posture within a few weeks.
I don't think you are practicing karate if you don't practice punching. That's like saying you practice tennis every day, but not with those silly rackets.
Am I allowed to be annoyed by the fact that his shoulders aren't in line when throwing the punches? Chuudan Zuki or Choku Zuki ideally is meant to have the shoulders lock in place for sturdiness when doing general basics. Most punches in Karate should never have have the shoulders over extend unless you're too far away from someone, to which you probably would be around beginner, intermediate or advanced in belt (not a Dan ranking, still colour) as that's a pretty early on mistake. Not sure if he's just exaggerating the movement or something, but I still am annoyed that his shoulders didn't stay in line.
I respect Karate and all Japanese martial arts. But if you want to learn how to punch correctly learn how to Box. By the time you threw one Karate punch to the chest you've already thrown 6 boxing punches to the chin.
Sorry mate but I disagree with you. There's no right way or wrong way to punch whether it's boxing or karate. Both are just as powerful to each other, even though both have different purposes. And Karate punches aren't just about throwing KO's it's also about snappiness too just like in boxing. PS Im a Shotokan Karateka.
JOSEPH22202 Karate isn't much of a Combat Sport in general, that is why it isn't used in Mixed Martial Arts nearly as much as Boxing or Muay Thai. If you want the closest equivalent to decent Karate try Kickboxing.
I do not respect anything about karate. The practitioners call themselves martial artists, yet most dont do any practical moves that are traditional under live resistance. This b.s art will never hold up against boxing, and all these people are good at is point fighting. If you want to learn karate, only expect to get discipline and good stretching out of it. It is so sad how people still to this day think this art is practical for self defence.
Wow really? Hahaha. I seriously recomend you learn hand-to-hand combat of military instead of martial arts. Bullies are all talk but no walk. They can punch hard but they are seriously scared of getting hit in the face and such
This is a great explanation of the punch. Simple yet often misunderstood.
"Don't fear the man that knows a thousand of techniques, fear the man that has practiced 1 technique a thousand times."

very good
Im only here to see whether I should follow an aggresive or defensive type of martial art...Mainly just browsing...Thanks for this video :)
Looks powerful .
NICE, keep those videos coming these are helpful.

20 videos in one fucking day!
I was taught this punch in a Shaolin class and the instructor called it a reverse punch.
Reverse Punch is just a direct punch but thrown from the back hand. So depending on where the punch was being thrown, he could be correct
Very helpful video thank you
guy knows his karate punch
In a real fight you don't actually pull the other arm all the way back, it's just to burn the movement into your muscle of using your hips and pulling the arm back to generate more power.

Love karate.
I LOVE this guys accent!!!
Very cool.
Who ever said that a closed hand thrust away from ones body was meant to be a "punch" or an offensive technique????

from Detroit.I love karate i practice every day BUT the only technique i dont do is the "Karate Punch " any alternative technique is better.thanks
I don't think you are practicing karate if you don't practice punching. That's like saying you practice tennis every day, but not with those silly rackets.
Amazing
Btw I love karate
But theres no dojo where I live
Just Jujitsu :'v
adapt, improvise, overcome
Jujitsu, taekwondo?
He standing square if he got hit his back leg won`t keep him from falling because in a square stance there is no back leg you just stumble backwards.
It's just a drill. He did say you can punch better from other stances.
Shizentai isn't a combat stance, it's a stance generally used in Kihon (basics) to practise a certain movement for a technique.
after this i felt like miyagi
Lmao

My question is why do karatekas pull the non-punching arm to their side like a chicken wing? Doesn't it open up their face for a counter attack?
Donovan Thompson actually the reason is very interesting. Check out Jesse enkamp video he knows his stuff. Including the one you're asking about.
mcgregor is a karateka, so are many other great mama fighters. karate is one of the most effective fighting styles ever
so...how do you punch again?
cool
Hmm so I’m new to karate 🥋 basically karate punches are straight punches not much hip work like boxing and Muay Thai ? … interesting
Bruce Lee punch!!!!
kinda i came here to get rid of other bullies
He twists his fist tooo late... unless ya wanna twist someones face off. lol
Doing basic karate punches in front of anyone else makes you look like Jesus
very nice!
It looks like it won't work at all
Real karateka DO NOT lock their joints when doing techniques ....
agree his basics is not entirely correct

What is non-traditional or non-effective about punching?
Not naming names here but cheater lost 3 feet of intestine ,but punching your bully is much better and has less police involved .
yeah it also looks like a stance that leaves you wide open for strikes and punches..
I know right
CUZ HE ISNT DOING THA FIGHTING STANCE YET DUMMY
It's just for practicing basic punching. Of course no one fights standing like that.
Ong ong omg ong ong ome
