Proof that thinking in one language, while speaking another language, teaching another language’s meaning, as you’re moving your body in very specific ways; is *very* hard to do. Awesome video! 🥋
Great educational resource for anyone wanting to know the basics. For me I was stuck in a plateau of simple boxing footwork and muy thai/kickboxing foot work. This has expanded my understanding of distance control. In my opinion distance control wins fights. Much love and honor to all those practicing an art! Arigato
Oss Jesse....I was introduced to ashi sabaki in 1979/80 training with a Sensei who was one of the first Europeans to do Tenshinkan Karate-do...and bring it to South Africa. Great times and I still love the style big time.
My contribution: Suri Ashi = Deslizar perna mais próxima do alvo ou objetivo, para frente, para trás, direita ou esquerda. Okuri Ashi = Semelhante ao movimento do Suri ashi, porém com 'salto' explosivo. A perna da frente 'arrasta' a de trás. Tsugi Ashi = Impulso dado com a perna de trás, que 'empurra' a da frente no avanço. Ou recuando, a perna da frente 'empurra' a de trás. Usa-se tanto para Te-waza quanto Gueri-Waza. Yori Ashi = Como um deslizamento semelhante ao Suri ashi, porém com as duas pernas ao mesmo tempo. Ayumi Ashi = deslocamento com a perna de trás passando pela da frente (como o caminhar em base zenkutsu, por exemplo, só que em Kamae) Tai Sabaki = Deslocamento explosivo mudando a posição/direção do corpo. Usualmente praticado para contra-ataques ao mesmo tempo que se desvia e/ou defende o ataque adversário. Para entender um pouco melhor o Tai Sabaki Imagine fazendo um Suri Ashi ou Okuri ashi, digamos para a esquerda ( com a perna esquerda à frente). Ao fazer isso, desta posição agora gire seu corpo usando a perna de trás (direita) e rotação dos quadris no sentido horário. Pronto! Você fez um Tai Sabaki.
Been watching your videos for the past few weeks, been out of training for a good 15 years now, and you have inspired me to get back into training. Unfortunately my old Shotokan Dojo has long since closed down, but have found a good Goju ryu dojo close by.. Thank you and keep up the great videos.
I have to say that your explanation of foot work and movement is probably the best that I have heard to date due to the simplistic explanation but while remaining detailed. You are a truly gifted person and martial artist, wonderfully done. 🙏
Thank you for this Jesse. I think it would also be cool to have some videos analising some famous Karatekas or Karate Styles. On what they specialise or what they really teach us as to being great(or not) examples. For Example, Rick Hotton, Naka, Masahiko Tanaka, Morio Higaonna, Lyoto Machida, etc... Like making a research about each individual, and analising and trying to read what is good about them.
The okuri ashi explanation is a godsend, my boxing footwork had stalled because my center of gravity is off. But now that you've shown me what was missing, I can finally make progress!
Great topic Jesse san! I want to add 2 other ashi sabaki here. The first one is Fumi Ashi, which can be explained very simply by: just like walking. To step forward we step with our back leg first, followed by the lead leg. I wonder whether this is exactly the same as the Tsugi Ashi by the way, but simply has another name. The second one is the switch step, when we "jump" with both legs and in the air we switch the lead and the back legs. If we look at it very strictly, it is not a step which we are getting closer or further away than the destination, because the distance remains the same after a switch step. So that's it!
You couldn't have posted the video in a better time. Just wanted to teach this at my next session, and this knowledge will be very helpful; it kinda connected all the dots in my head. And great videos btw. like all the effect :'D keep training and improving! Good luck!
I love this type of footwork in Karate. I practice Goju Ryu and we’ve been taught a footwork similar to that. You kinda keep your back foot up on the balls of your feet. You basically explode in a leaping motion when going forward and after that you get out by bringing your front foot back then kinda leaping backwards. I really love this footwork compared to bouncing in boxing and the bouncing like horse stance you see in point sparring matches which I don’t really like.
hi sensei I'm Lee van from Philippines and a karate and kung fu practitioner I'm just a newbie to train kyokoushin karate your videos are so Good and helpful for me to practice karate
Loved the new opening!! Footwork has been playing on my mind a lot lately. It's awesome how many times I'm thinking about something, then you put a video out about it! Thank-you!!
We have this in our class and we call it Unsoku (our fighting basic movements) . We have 4 movements. Suri and and Tsugi Ashi are the same for us. We have a longer version of the Tsugi Ashi we call chidori (I am probably misspelling a few things) where you cross step coming forward or backwards to gain a lot of distance quickly. Then we have Oi Ashi which for us is just changing your feet when you step forward or backwards. Love your videos good sir keep it up!
Jesse, there is another where you combine 1 or 2 with 3. You move in with the lead fott in a long stance like zenkutsu dachi, then pull the rear foot up into han zenkutsu dachi or if you do goju like me, pull into our kihon stance. What this does is make it look like you are out of range initially because of how far back your torso is, but when the rear foot slides up as you punch, all of a sudden the distance is closed. You just need to get the rear foot down just before impact. Have done this with people who have not seen it before. I start by tapping them on the chest or shoulder if I can. Start about 6 feet or more away and tell them to move when they feel you're too close. The vast majority of the time, I wind up tapping them. Takes practice to develop the skill, but it can be surprisingly deceptive and effective. In a couple of cases, I've pulled this off from as much as 8 feet away. And yes, I'm talking about doing this against yudansha, not kyu ranks. Can pretty much touch / hit the kyu ranks at will doing this until you work with them enough to get them to realize when to move.
Tsugi ashi es lo mejor ante un low kick, evades muchísimo más rápido. También tsugi ashi lateral en ataque con puño adelantado se ve menos y no es necesario ajustar el cuerpo para continuar con gyaku tsuki.
I like kumite . I love your explanation.really clear and easy to understand. Currently practicing karate here in japan..our sensei taught us about what you talk in the vid .
I love the new kind of editing! Definitely a great video, I didn't know a lot about footwork in karate, I only know some Tai Sabaki, but again, I don't have lessons yet
Oss ! Obrigado pelas explicações Sensei, muitas vezes utilizamos estas técnicas sem mesmo saber teoricamente do que se tratam. Parabéns pelo trabalho, obrigado pelas dicas. Oss !
To learn a very efficient footwork method against four attackers coming from four directions, karatekas should check out the "Fair Lady Works the Shuttles" technique from Yang style Taichi. A characteristically polite name, but a very deadly method.
As a Finnish follower ..IT was fun to hear you pointed out that "jalka" thing 👍 Have you been in Finland to know that? I have learned that Japanese and Finnish people share a lot on some common cultural stuff and over all mind set.
NICE😀 I’ve been accused of being a knit picker on the basics on primary belts. Being told that it would only serve to discourage students. My Belief has always to learn once, then move through the primary ranks by putting more tool in the toolbox. Without coming to the epiphany that one needs better tools and has to go through the painful process of unlearning the bad habits that were allowed to become the foundation of the system. Unfortunately I had to put myself through this in year 3 as a Brown Belt.
OSU! From Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Thanks for these tutorials, Sensei Jesse (Here, we call people by their first name. In portuguese it is not desrespectfull. I hope you do not mind).
ARIGATO for your great comments! 🌟 Learn more about Karate on my website: www.karatebyjesse.com 😄👍
Jesse Enkamp I like you
Justin Stuart
do you have and foot work drills to get these movements down?
0:40 suri ashi, slide, front leg first, back leg follows
3:20 okuri ashi, leap explosively
4:40 tsugi ashi, opposite leg first
Can I just say how amazing it is that you are still hearting comments!
Thanks 😁

I didn't knew these great foot maneuvers, together with a clear explanation. Great Work, Jesse! Thanks a lot!

Your punches always look so powerful and explosive....your movements are awesome you seem like a 25 year old who's been training for 40 years straight
How does a 25 year old train for 40yrs wouldn’t he be 65? 😂

Very clearly explained Sensei Jesse, and very fluid footwork💪 Outstanding!👏👌👍

i firmly believe that karate has the best footwork in all martial arts, it is so technical but at the same time fast and direct.
