@@BigMoney398 no he's right. Teaching heritage requires more detail. But fighting attire in a real fight should be random as a fight will be. But you are a hater.
I’ve been studying northern style and southern style Kung fu for around 10 years now, and it is truly an amazing art, but it’s not a Rock Paper Scissors with martial arts no matter what art you study you need the dedication and skill to back it up
jpsholland, sit your ass down and shut the fuck up, pussy-mouth. Ain't even know what you be sayin, these two senseis are knowledgeable and effective teachers, your comment just shows your cognitive level hangs lower than your crusty balls.
Jason Shibley Ando is right about the teacher. also, it depends on what specific things you're looking for to add to your arsenal or skills and how realistic it should be or not.
Jason Shibley practically anything practiced full contact will automatically force you to learn some (more) realistic skills. muay thai has a lot to offer, but I'm not crazy about too much focus on the round low kicks. they are mostly good for drawn out matches, but can easily expose you in selfdefense situations. it has great clinch techniques and straight kicks though. but usually not great boxing. actual boxing, especially dirty boxing as in Filipino martial arts Panantukan, is extremely useful and realistic and weirdly enough very underestimated these days. most martial artists won't stand a chance against a decent boxer on the street. judo is never to be underestimated, also mainly because of the 'full contact' or rather 'alive' practice of realistic throws. karate styles like kyokushin, ashihara, and enshin have a broad range of realistic techniques and are developed for selfdefense and practiced full contact. (edge) weapons familiarity and disarming would be a very useful part of training, the only widely spread system I'm aware of being somewhat practical in a last resort situation regarding edge weapons would be escrima. forget about bullshido like krav maga, Russian systema or aikido which make unrealistic claims about weapons selfdefense (and basically everything else). catch wrestling is a great system for the ground and takedowns, up to par with and possible surpassing BJJ. don't know where you are located but check out the guys at Snake Pit USA. Russian sambo is also a realistic ground system. hope this helps.
Hey Sensei Ando Its funny, I used to have two awesome karate teachers, awesome humble guys, and you remind me of them. God bless you and keep inspiring people!
@@Poipletoitle331 Nah Kung Fu only works if you're some Shaolin monk type of guy. It never works for someone who doesn't dedicate his entire life to it. I would bet all my money to Karate. There is a simple way to counter all the things the Kung Fu guy said: Deflect his punch. Almost no one does deflecting better than Karatekas. In a real fight the Karateka would simply deflect/block and not to the shuto
@@ubisons6161 Depends because anyone serious about Kung Fu would already have a second attack to counter the block it's kinda like Anakin vs Obi Wan in episode 3 Anakin would've won because he was breaking down Obis defense but he opened himself up and was beaten same thing here because Karate is mainly defensive and Kung Fu is mainly offensive if Kung Fu doesn't open itself up it should win but a lot of moves while extremely powerful and will knock someone out of a fight in one hit open themselves up to the counter and strike method of Karate
@@AndoMierzwa Now you make it sound like "Muslims are bad Islam is good." Of course I bring religion into the equation here because you're making excuses like a priest.
@@Southeast_Asian_Devil The concept of your analogy is indeed clever, but does not directly apply, as an analogy should, because that is not what he is saying. If 10 boxers went up against 10 wrestlers, for example, how does one determine which style is better? The obvious and immediate answer is, whichever style has more victories. Ok, here's the problem with that: Boxers win 6 out of 10. Now, everyone fights again but this time boxers win 4 out of 10. Or what if it's tied? Now bring in a fresh set of 20 fighters and this time boxing wins 3...And after changing opponents boxing wins 7...and so on. There is no way to tell which style is better because it always depends on the fighter. So it's easier to determine which fighter is better than which style, and even then you have the same problem. A champion today could be a loser tomorrow and vice versa. Ever see a rematch fight? Is the previous victor always the reigning victor? ✌🙏
Shuto looks a lot like the crane style kung fu practioners. "crane wing?" oh wait. Karate comes from Okinawa? Okinawa was a blending pot where Chinese influence was involved? So maybe Kung fu and Karate are closely related and instead of arguing and fighting amongst each other, we should stick together and friendly spar? ~sincerely just an student of Chinese and western boxing.
Ando Mierzwa lol I could go further and talk about Chin Na kung fu influence over Jujitsu (but that's controversial and might trigger a UFC fanboy where style vs style is the modern propaganda) either way I love both countries martial arts. Chin Na and Aiki jujutsu, and 'Merican wrestlin' are my favorite grappling systems especially for self defense. The first two were designed for war and combat. Ando what is your opinion on my 3 favorite types of grappling?
ryan dravinski Karate actually derived from Kung fu. Possible white crane? One of our most widely taught kata, Kushanku, is actually named after a Chinese diplomat who is said to have brought kung fu to Okinawa, which then developed into what is now called karate
LOVE THIS! We always encourage our students to question any of the techniques I teach (with respect of course). If I don't have an answer, I shouldn't teach it. 'Funny' enough, without thinking about it I used Shuto on someone who randomly swung a knife at my brother. Just happened to be the right strike for that situation. Luckily, I haven't had to use my training much more than that.
Good point! You never really know what a situation will require. We just train as diligently as possible and hope we have enough tools to solve whatever problems we face. Hope that was the last time you need to chop somebody! 😄
I have only seen 4 minutes of Jesse explanation and I can't beleive what I am seeing. The technique he applied with shuto is exactly the same we have in Choy Lee Fut Kungfu. We use the palm "to divert" part of momentum of the incoming punch (we call it "tap" or whatever its phoneme is written) and then we grab exacty as he did with a "chuin lao" and strike the neck at the same time with a "jet kiu", witch we do with the forearm instead of the hand (the best concept translation would be "to cut with the forearm"). Depending on the strikes you feel more comfortable, you can substitute the "jet kiu" with other type of strike. I find the similarities between martial arts marvelous, and I admire the humility and eagerness to learn and adapt things from other martial arts to our own martial art.
Another fantastic video. I go back to the old days of the 70"s when I idolized people like Demetrius Havanis ..Skipper Mullins....Fred Wren...Bill Wallace. But I'll never forget a tournament in Dallas Texas when Demetrius Havanis took apart a kung fu stylist. There had been words between the two before the match....and Demetrius was one to never back down from anyone. I have great memories from those days....just wanted to share.
As a Philippine martial arts practitioner and having studied traditional styles of karate... I would never Levi a challenge nor accept the challenge and post it on video for the concept of embarrassing anybody on their Channel. I know it's all in good fun... Every style is good for what it's good for
Great video guys! I love the back and forth exchange of knowledge done in a fun and friendly way. Sensai Ando gave a wonderful explanation of counter techniques and ended it all on a fun and friendly note.
Ok to be honest the martial arts is affective depending the person. My friend is a good fighter in mma and i'm good at mi one martial art. I'm just saying jot all martial arts are not made for every single person.
There's a reason boxers keep their hands near their face and use minimal effort/motion to block. Jabs aren't easy to block and are near impossible to grab. I don't care if this guy had 20 tries to try and catch a jab. The chance of him grabbing even one jab would be very low. Also, wouldn't sidestepping into that chop and trying to dodge with movement be more effective?
in karate you create openings in your opponent, this move is very efficient, think speed - deballance - power, moving from one motion to the other. the block is excadurated to create the oppening to both grab the wrist and travel up the arm ⚡ speed, simple, effective and powerfull with the full arm land against a falling opponent. all he needs to do its block it once and he's IN. in TMA blocking jabs is possible, we creat distance and don't turtle 🐢🥊 up untill things get close... or at all in some cases. very differen't fighting principles. your not going to have time to side step🥋💨 you're bearly gonna have time to throw that "two". i would recommend commiting to the flow of the move aswell. in the battle of 🐅 vs 🥋he who underestimates the others ability is sure to lose. infact i'd say go fore arm to block rather than open hand to stop the sword hand chop/shunt. then something like 🐅 leaping tiger in long grass(crossed/oppossed arms), steals man from atop 🐘 wailing elephant bach. (yes this happens in some parts of india.) anyways a 🐯 can go right up you... as a boxer🤔 i'd say same thing, 🥊but lean into the raised forarm then shunt/push the karate 🥋 guy off you by putting your head up against the inside of your forearm so its your hole body against theirs. then one you get the caught arm back, haymaker with it as the karate guy will be i'll advised to stop it off ballance. not as fancy as the tiger body climbing head grab, but just as effective.
Vesuvius ... Last part first. Yes the dodging with movement is more efficient - in some circumstances. However,that blocking section if done hard and fast can momentarily stun the push arm. This is an advantage. Jabs? I agree to a point. Hard to deal with boxing vs boxing. However, train to slip the jab. Rather than grab it, track it back to the puncher and press it against his chest/shoulder - wherever it returned to. Follow up in an appropriate manner.
Also, there's a difference between traditional and classical martial arts. Not to be too technical, but one shouldn't be throwing those terms around without thinking about it.
In my Karate system, we used to have a throw that was recently taken out because it can’t be practiced safely. But it entailed grabbing the back of their neck, grabbing under their crotch, and throwing them over your head and causes them to land on their head and break their neck.
Was about to write "punches in bunches" wouldn't work precisely because of Hikite, but Sensei Ando was faster, who would've thought? I love your humour and mutual respect, great video!
The reason I like ur videos most is " very practical " . Most traditional martial art instructors always try to defend one hand( or punch) and completely forget about the other hand. 😂
I like both Karate AND Kung fu! I use both shuto and tiger claw. Also, the funny thing about the crane was that my friend who studied an unknown martial art told me I was a crane stylist since I had a really defensive fighting style and the way I played dodgeball. Years later, I think I'm more a cat now. XD Keep pumping out the good stuff! From Tokyo. 0w0
The knife hand strike is very effective as mentioned when someone throws a hay maker. This usually is thrown by an in experienced fighter, an experienced fighter wouldn't punch that way. You may as well tell them that you are going to hit them. Which throws everything you said out the window.
Daniel Leniu, Chinese Instructors are called "Sifu" (See-foo) but mostly are called that in Western countries. Sifu is used for many peoples in China. Sensei (sen-say) is the term for Japanese arts. And it is said like this "Daniel Sensei" not Sensei Daniel. Hope this helps you.
@@Reason1717 sensei just means teacher. Like sifu. Kids in Japanese schools call their teachers sensei like we call ours teacher. It's not only for martial arts. Just amending your otherwise correct comment, thanks.
I respect you both..!!.. you both are doing very good job by explaining very deep points about your Martial arts styles.... thanks for teaching us with this awesome way ...
Robert Schuster. Knew a Wushu Kung fu Shifu that would work our Ed Parker style Kenpo class. Most of us with one hand.... Its the person not the style...just saying.
You drive in with your elbow towards the person face with shuto - while covering your own buttons with the wrapped arm-, that's why the technique is initiated with the hand to opposite ear, it's a cover and crash for "two".
Karate is LITERALLY the evolution of Kung Fu. Whilst I agree that Kung Fu is WAY richer in culture and mysticism. When it comes to self defense and just flat out beating some one up, Karate (most styles of Karate) is far superior. Its less show.
EvilSwordman biased much? they are different things. karate was developed for selfdefense, Kung Fu was developed for exercise. they only look similar to the noob eye. btw there's nothing 'basic' about karate. if you knew anything about karate you would know this. it's also not copied from Kenpo as you falsely claim.
EvilSwordman yeah, no. Okinawa. and before u start off on how there was influence from Chinese on the development of Okinawa Te, there was influence all over the world's many directions from everywhere. it doesn't make it the same, and it certainly doesn't make some random Chinese martial art better. karate evolved in its own way and is fundamentally different from kung fu. especially notably in the way that it's much more realistic. I'm getting pretty sick and tired of this constant frustrated Chinese propaganda crap about who invented martial arts. bottom line: China/Chinese didn't. and certainly not karate.
kung fu is not a martial art. wushu means art of battlefield. so why it doesnt sound like exercice? idiot. kung fu is more complete than karate. accept that !!!
I am a J.K.D practitioner and also use Shotakan techniques.I have won 41 of 43 fights using this combined method.my opponents never know what to expect next.Always keep em wondering what you will be be capable of next smart warriors.
Interesting love to get into this style understanding :) Love to do the same. Very friendly but I have some thoughts about both. Loved the Video. Really glad to meet ya. I would like to thank Jesse for all his hard work too. Thanks
Training on shotokan , youre still a great inspiration. I think most big arts equal and it all depends on the artist and not the art , and youre a great artist.
The biggest thing both of you are missing is the thing that should be every martial artists number one mantra: PREPARE FOR EVERYTHING. Don’t just assume one thing will work and another thing won’t, think 5 steps ahead and consider every possibility to be an eventuality. Not only will this way of thinking improve your martial arts skills but it will also improve your basic learning skills which will help you in your everyday life.
I have to admit, as a karateka, that he got it wrong. In order for the shuto to of worked, he should of gone on the outside of his opponent. The objective goal of the shuto is to strike the nerve system, not just the neck. Personally, it was me, I would of gone for the outside range of the opponent and gone for the elbow joint to apply pressure, in order to immobilise the opponent and used my foot on the rear of the knee joint to of brought them down at the same time. This way is more safer than full out injuring someone for life, which I don't think is necessary for a moment of madness. We are all human beings and we all get upset and we all make mistakes. Someone doesn't need to be injured for life because of it.
Shuto can also be used on the shoulder to stop a strike! That way it's a defensive attack. It hurts your shoulder and distracts you and gives you enough time for a kick or something else! This video is amazing though, both practitioners are amazing and their explanations are believable and fair. Well done!
A lot of people here wanted to see an actual fight to see how they would do, but especially when I saw the end of the video, felt that it wasn't about that. I think they are both trying to encourage people to keep an open mind, and to really think about their technique, to always be refining and such. It's always good to see techniques tried out in the real world to see what works, but I think fighting it out, they felt, may have overshadowed that message. At any rate, it's a very informative video, and I love the sense of humor of both these guys.
When will you finally realize, it's not one style or art versus another, but one practitioner against the other. The most determined and skilled at their art usually prevails.
Just subscribed Sensei Ando. Been following Jesse for about six weeks. I started training in MA's in 74. I hung my belt up in 2014 out of frustration. Both you and Jesse advocate open minded ness and recognition of application before spoon fed aesthetics. Thanks to both of you for reigniting my interest it Karate ( my foundation) and now Kung Fu. Many thanks to you both👍
4:42 I love that move. I use a KALI version. But it collects back hand to front hand (long hand) southpaw stance. 1. FOOK SAO “A covering crane action. 2. BUI GEE “A jkd finger jab. 3. ACTION WITH THE CLOSE HAND FINISHES.
the idea behind the intro of the sword hand strike is to show its flex.. 1 you can block with the reverse hand or the crossing hand 2 you can grab with the hand that strikes/blocks 3 you dont need to grab but strike instead 4 in feeling your opponent during any exchange ,, his tempo and ability can determine your response..you can change it into a series of chops and stabs to the upper region..or you can decide to stop the fight with a single jab to the throat / eye / nose.. you need to be flexible with your crossing hands techniques.. there is always an answer to any question in combat.
7:35 This is so fun. In my VIPER JKD we would skip the third beat on the shooto meaning. We would deflect (back hand) same time front hand goes al the way in with a big strike. Instead of grabbing. That’s the only part we’d skip.
Look at 3:14 min to see what the movement look like, in a more realistic way, and understand it let no place to opponent reaction, moreover if he's not an experimented martial art practicing. Then understand that the grabbing of the opponent arm after the blocking is not essential. Then understand that even the blocking of the opponent attack is not essential. Then you have a preview of what "Go no Sen" mean and why it is essential in Karate. Btw, personnaly, I prefer use the "Shuto Uchi" technique to target the Temple of the opponent rather than his neck, more efficient and harder to protect.
Shoe-Toe Meets ToFu for the next video!! Love Ando sensei's spirit and humor. Everyone that takes the time to better themselves each day is a martial arts/kung Fu practioner. Everyone that respects the other arts are martial artists. Everyone of the above that is willing to keep an open mind and learn from each other. True masters.....
Super useful for me because I do traditional Karate and I am a green belt but it's good to know from a kung fu and karate masters.Thank you so much for your advice
My picture was just recently posted in the Denver post for training to be fighter. Maybe someday when I gather a larger following we can train and practice together Sensei Ando!
Kung fu guy has a valid point. Nobody punches and leaves their arm out. One step and two step sparring is not actual sparring/fighting. It’s just practice. Blocking really becomes dodge and cover in a real fight/sparring match.
Very Good Video, and I love what you said the last half minute. And for the other comentators on this video who would like to see you fight: The one who searches for a fight is not an martial artist. The one who could avoid fighting is an martial artist.
I agree that watching us fight isn’t very instructive. It’s applying ideas to your own training to see what works for you that matters! Thank you for the comment!
Sir, I've always wanted to ask a question. Recently, Chinese Kung Fu has been questioned by the public at the real combat level. What do you think of this
Ando Mierzwa Thank you very much for your reply. In fact, there is no malice in my remarks. I am also a Wing Chun lover. This is why I hope to find out why Chinese traditional martial arts always fail in modern fighting. I am glad to see that there are still many people who love Chinese martial arts to pay tribute to you.
Great stuff! As a Kung Fu guy I particularly liked this one! ;) Seriously though, there are NO "best styles"! All approaches to the martial arts have something to offer and it's up to the individual to find a path that fits. Even then... it's a good idea to look at the other paths too ;) Cheers, Sifu Ruiseart.
Jesse didn't use the inside palm parry and outside elbow wrench-shuto, which might be faster and rather nasty, or a right hand strike to the punching arm-shuto. The right arm isn't meant only to be moved inside for a shuto. That's a parry and punch at the same time, or a parry and rising back knuckle strike to the arm.
That was fantastic. I learned a lot of martial arts in the Air Force and Federal Police Academy. I am very petite so I always take advantage of "going with flow," using the force and momentum of the other person, quick punches and chops, surprise shin and body kicks, and of course arm bars. I like ground fighting too...I have some certs lol. Now that I am 38, I would love to get back into martial arts, and study a style exclusively. I have to figure out what style is best for me. I love speed, blocking, and punching and kicking the most. Suggestions welcome:) I am also interested in the meditation aspect of martial arts. I don't think people know how peaceful true warriors are. lol
Yes, absolutely get back on the mats! 👍🏼 I recommend finding a teacher that impresses you more than a particular style. Especially if you’re interested in the bigger life lessons training can provide. But don’t overthink it- just sign up someplace and have a new experience! :)
You completely missed the fact that by striking across his own body with his arm it leaves that entirely side of his body open, more notably the ribs. Any style of point contact (Praying Mantis, Dove, Crane, randomly jamming your thumb into his armpit) is going to shock his body and make him force that arm back down effectively abandoning his entire attack and opening up his center.
I had a GREAT time being on your show Sensei Ando! 😄 Thanks again & keep up the great work! 🙏 PS. Next time I'm in LA I'm coming for you 🐯

jpsholland, sit your ass down and shut the fuck up, pussy-mouth. Ain't even know what you be sayin, these two senseis are knowledgeable and effective teachers, your comment just shows your cognitive level hangs lower than your crusty balls.
Blue Sol damn.... you flamed my boi😳
and you're a keyboard warrior which is worse.
This looks fun! I didn’t know they had a collab video together. Awesome informative stuff! 👏🏻👏🏻
So glad you liked it! Thank you!
*ROASTED*
BOOM! :D
That is in Chinese
Not really. It's all about the teacher. I'd just visit some gym until you find someone you can trust.
Jason Shibley Ando is right about the teacher. also, it depends on what specific things you're looking for to add to your arsenal or skills and how realistic it should be or not.
Jason Shibley practically anything practiced full contact will automatically force you to learn some (more) realistic skills. muay thai has a lot to offer, but I'm not crazy about too much focus on the round low kicks. they are mostly good for drawn out matches, but can easily expose you in selfdefense situations. it has great clinch techniques and straight kicks though. but usually not great boxing.
actual boxing, especially dirty boxing as in Filipino martial arts Panantukan, is extremely useful and realistic and weirdly enough very underestimated these days. most martial artists won't stand a chance against a decent boxer on the street.
judo is never to be underestimated, also mainly because of the 'full contact' or rather 'alive' practice of realistic throws.
karate styles like kyokushin, ashihara, and enshin have a broad range of realistic techniques and are developed for selfdefense and practiced full contact. (edge)
weapons familiarity and disarming would be a very useful part of training, the only widely spread system I'm aware of being somewhat practical in a last resort situation regarding edge weapons would be escrima. forget about bullshido like krav maga, Russian systema or aikido which make unrealistic claims about weapons selfdefense (and basically everything else).
catch wrestling is a great system for the ground and takedowns, up to par with and possible surpassing BJJ. don't know where you are located but check out the guys at Snake Pit USA.
Russian sambo is also a realistic ground system.
hope this helps.
Hey Sensei Ando Its funny, I used to have two awesome karate teachers, awesome humble guys, and you remind me of them. God bless you and keep inspiring people!
You guys should fight. Against each other. In real life.
Do a live stream for it?
I have too much respect for my brain. :)
Ando Mierzwa Fair enough. Who would win though? If you did. Honestly.
@@joemo1033 Most likely the Kung Fu but Karate if used correctly could win as well
@@Poipletoitle331 Nah Kung Fu only works if you're some Shaolin monk type of guy. It never works for someone who doesn't dedicate his entire life to it. I would bet all my money to Karate. There is a simple way to counter all the things the Kung Fu guy said: Deflect his punch. Almost no one does deflecting better than Karatekas. In a real fight the Karateka would simply deflect/block and not to the shuto
@@ubisons6161 Depends because anyone serious about Kung Fu would already have a second attack to counter the block it's kinda like Anakin vs Obi Wan in episode 3 Anakin would've won because he was breaking down Obis defense but he opened himself up and was beaten same thing here because Karate is mainly defensive and Kung Fu is mainly offensive if Kung Fu doesn't open itself up it should win but a lot of moves while extremely powerful and will knock someone out of a fight in one hit open themselves up to the counter and strike method of Karate
hey you know what.. why don't you two just fight face to face.. and that's how we see who wins
You might see WHO wins, but that doesn't prove which style wins. Spoiler alert: Any style CAN win. :)
Ando Mierzwa we still wanna see WHO wins though ;)
Saxier 18 I think they both suck..😁😂😂
@@AndoMierzwa Now you make it sound like "Muslims are bad Islam is good." Of course I bring religion into the equation here because you're making excuses like a priest.
@@Southeast_Asian_Devil The concept of your analogy is indeed clever, but does not directly apply, as an analogy should, because that is not what he is saying.
If 10 boxers went up against 10 wrestlers, for example, how does one determine which style is better? The obvious and immediate answer is, whichever style has more victories. Ok, here's the problem with that:
Boxers win 6 out of 10. Now, everyone fights again but this time boxers win 4 out of 10. Or what if it's tied? Now bring in a fresh set of 20 fighters and this time boxing wins 3...And after changing opponents boxing wins 7...and so on. There is no way to tell which style is better because it always depends on the fighter. So it's easier to determine which fighter is better than which style, and even then you have the same problem. A champion today could be a loser tomorrow and vice versa. Ever see a rematch fight? Is the previous victor always the reigning victor? ✌🙏
what a great collaboration!
+EricSwearingenMusic Glad you liked it! It was fun!
Respect to both of you !
Thanks for lovely video.
Thank you very much for the comment!
Great video Sensei Ando!! A lot of respect for you and Sensei Jesse👏👏 I follow you both on youtube. Two of the best Senseis I've seen here💪💪👍✌
Respect back to you, my friend. Thank you for the support! Happy training!👍🏼
The Karate Nerd brought me here. You are now the new champion of us old guys!
Ha! And getting older every day. 😄 Keep fighting, sir! 👊🏼
Shuto looks a lot like the crane style kung fu practioners. "crane wing?" oh wait. Karate comes from Okinawa? Okinawa was a blending pot where Chinese influence was involved? So maybe Kung fu and Karate are closely related and instead of arguing and fighting amongst each other, we should stick together and friendly spar?
~sincerely just an student of Chinese and western boxing.
Yes, Ryan. YES! :)
Ando Mierzwa lol I could go further and talk about Chin Na kung fu influence over Jujitsu (but that's controversial and might trigger a UFC fanboy where style vs style is the modern propaganda) either way I love both countries martial arts. Chin Na and Aiki jujutsu, and 'Merican wrestlin' are my favorite grappling systems especially for self defense. The first two were designed for war and combat.
Ando what is your opinion on my 3 favorite types of grappling?
I am open to learning from anyone in any style. That's my opinion! :)
just as Bruce Lee taught us
ryan dravinski Karate actually derived from Kung fu. Possible white crane? One of our most widely taught kata, Kushanku, is actually named after a Chinese diplomat who is said to have brought kung fu to Okinawa, which then developed into what is now called karate
Thank you both for showing both styles I have respect for all martial arts I guess knowledge is powerful learnt things from both of you
LOVE THIS! We always encourage our students to question any of the techniques I teach (with respect of course). If I don't have an answer, I shouldn't teach it. 'Funny' enough, without thinking about it I used Shuto on someone who randomly swung a knife at my brother. Just happened to be the right strike for that situation. Luckily, I haven't had to use my training much more than that.
Good point! You never really know what a situation will require. We just train as diligently as possible and hope we have enough tools to solve whatever problems we face. Hope that was the last time you need to chop somebody! 😄
I have only seen 4 minutes of Jesse explanation and I can't beleive what I am seeing. The technique he applied with shuto is exactly the same we have in Choy Lee Fut Kungfu. We use the palm "to divert" part of momentum of the incoming punch (we call it "tap" or whatever its phoneme is written) and then we grab exacty as he did with a "chuin lao" and strike the neck at the same time with a "jet kiu", witch we do with the forearm instead of the hand (the best concept translation would be "to cut with the forearm"). Depending on the strikes you feel more comfortable, you can substitute the "jet kiu" with other type of strike.
I find the similarities between martial arts marvelous, and I admire the humility and eagerness to learn and adapt things from other martial arts to our own martial art.
Learning and adapting… that’s the right way! Thanks for the comment!
Another fantastic video. I go back to the old days of the 70"s when I idolized people like Demetrius Havanis ..Skipper Mullins....Fred Wren...Bill Wallace. But I'll never forget a tournament in Dallas Texas when Demetrius Havanis took apart a kung fu stylist. There had been words between the two before the match....and Demetrius was one to never back down from anyone. I have great memories from those days....just wanted to share.
Thanks for sharing, sir!
LOL,perfect ending, I'm not even into martial arts but I watch your videos cause you, sir, are a funny guy, the kind of funny guy I wouldn't fight tbh
That's a great compliment, sir! Thanks. Now, let's talk about you starting some classes.... :)
Thank you for your informative videos! My first Karate Lesson is tomorrow.. You're the best!
Congrats! I hope you had a blast!
I thought Filipino things is useless coz i live in the Philippines but that all changed when I realized he knows Filipino martial art
As a Philippine martial arts practitioner and having studied traditional styles of karate... I would never Levi a challenge nor accept the challenge and post it on video for the concept of embarrassing anybody on their Channel. I know it's all in good fun... Every style is good for what it's good for
Yes, all in good fun. And I agree-every style has something to offer.👍🏼
Great video guys! I love the back and forth exchange of knowledge done in a fun and friendly way. Sensai Ando gave a wonderful explanation of counter techniques and ended it all on a fun and friendly note.
Got to keep it friendly, right? Thanks for the kind words!
Ok to be honest the martial arts is affective depending the person. My friend is a good fighter in mma and i'm good at mi one martial art. I'm just saying jot all martial arts are not made for every single person.
Exactly right!
There's a reason boxers keep their hands near their face and use minimal effort/motion to block. Jabs aren't easy to block and are near impossible to grab. I don't care if this guy had 20 tries to try and catch a jab. The chance of him grabbing even one jab would be very low.
Also, wouldn't sidestepping into that chop and trying to dodge with movement be more effective?
Good point! There are many ways to use the hands and feet. This is just one or two. I'm a big fan of dodging when I can, too!
in karate you create openings in your opponent, this move is very efficient, think speed - deballance - power, moving from one motion to the other. the block is excadurated to create the oppening to both grab the wrist and travel up the arm ⚡ speed, simple, effective and powerfull with the full arm land against a falling opponent. all he needs to do its block it once and he's IN. in TMA blocking jabs is possible, we creat distance and don't turtle 🐢🥊 up untill things get close... or at all in some cases. very differen't fighting principles. your not going to have time to side step🥋💨 you're bearly gonna have time to throw that "two". i would recommend commiting to the flow of the move aswell. in the battle of 🐅 vs 🥋he who underestimates the others ability is sure to lose. infact i'd say go fore arm to block rather than open hand to stop the sword hand chop/shunt. then something like 🐅 leaping tiger in long grass(crossed/oppossed arms), steals man from atop 🐘 wailing elephant bach. (yes this happens in some parts of india.) anyways a 🐯 can go right up you... as a boxer🤔 i'd say same thing, 🥊but lean into the raised forarm then shunt/push the karate 🥋 guy off you by putting your head up against the inside of your forearm so its your hole body against theirs. then one you get the caught arm back, haymaker with it as the karate guy will be i'll advised to stop it off ballance. not as fancy as the tiger body climbing head grab, but just as effective.
Vesuvius ... Last part first. Yes the dodging with movement is more efficient - in some circumstances. However,that blocking section if done hard and fast can momentarily stun the push arm. This is an advantage.
Jabs? I agree to a point. Hard to deal with boxing vs boxing. However, train to slip the jab. Rather than grab it, track it back to the puncher and press it against his chest/shoulder - wherever it returned to. Follow up in an appropriate manner.
RealJutsu56 that's 100% theoretical.
Jab, hook, kick to balls followed by elbow to head.
"That's not Kung Fu, that's Dumb Fu."
Also, there's a difference between traditional and classical martial arts. Not to be too technical, but one shouldn't be throwing those terms around without thinking about it.
The first traditional martial artist that is not delusional. respect for you sir.
Ha! Traditional arts have much to offer... as long as we keep it real. Thanks! :)
DO Kung fu vs wwe... XD
I just turn off the TV. :)
Ando Mierzwa Haha xD Kung fu vs thumb wrestling?
Keep your hands in your pocket. :)
Nice idea XD hhhh
In my Karate system, we used to have a throw that was recently taken out because it can’t be practiced safely. But it entailed grabbing the back of their neck, grabbing under their crotch, and throwing them over your head and causes them to land on their head and break their neck.
My two favourite channels on Martial arts
That's very nice of you! Thanks!
+Ando Mierzwa Can you do your moves countering a boxers moves or some sparring vid of boxer v kung fu expert?
thats sad
Awesome video as always Sensei Ando ! But now, will you have the courage to challenge a true warrior, a killing machine... Master Ken himself ! ? :D
mrtocard 😂😂😂 great
Ha! I try to keep at least two states between me and Master Ken at all times! :)
***** wise decision sensei Ando haha
mrtocard Kill Face!!!
mrtocard Enterthedojo
Was about to write "punches in bunches" wouldn't work precisely because of Hikite, but Sensei Ando was faster, who would've thought?
I love your humour and mutual respect, great video!
Thanks very much! We're obviously both geniuses! :)
The reason I like ur videos most is " very practical " . Most traditional martial art instructors always try to defend one hand( or punch) and completely forget about the other hand. 😂
Always prepare for two (or more!) hands! 😁
you shuld do kung fu vs judo
Great idea! :)
omgggggg
Ando Mierzwa are you gonna make that vid kung fu vs judo it whuld be interasting to se btv i watch your videos all the time
Shuai jiao vs judo. Both are grappling arts.
green gamer I
I like both Karate AND Kung fu! I use both shuto and tiger claw. Also, the funny thing about the crane was that my friend who studied an unknown martial art told me I was a crane stylist since I had a really defensive fighting style and the way I played dodgeball. Years later, I think I'm more a cat now. XD Keep pumping out the good stuff! From Tokyo. 0w0
Greetings from the USA, Naori! Thanks for the comment!
the explainations are worth nothing as long as you dont show it in a fight.
The knife hand strike is very effective as mentioned when someone throws a hay maker. This usually is thrown by an in experienced fighter, an experienced fighter wouldn't punch that way. You may as well tell them that you are going to hit them. Which throws everything you said out the window.
You can still see big swings from pro fighters. Plus, stress can turn all of us into cavemen again! 😄
I'm subscribed to both of you guys so this stuff is awesome. Please make more!!😎🤙
I appreciate that. Thank you! 🙏🏻
I thought Chinese king fu masters are called siefu and senses is Japanese 😂
True! Some people study both. Thanks for watching!
Daniel Leniu, Chinese Instructors are called "Sifu" (See-foo) but mostly are called that in Western countries. Sifu is used for many peoples in China. Sensei (sen-say) is the term for Japanese arts. And it is said like this "Daniel Sensei" not Sensei Daniel. Hope this helps you.
I like Grasshopper, Kwai Chang Caine. Lol
@@Reason1717 sensei just means teacher. Like sifu.
Kids in Japanese schools call their teachers sensei like we call ours teacher. It's not only for martial arts.
Just amending your otherwise correct comment, thanks.
@@HardHardMaster , Thank you. More knowledge on the topic is a win for all :)
Karate > Kung Fu
Uncle Uncle u'll win I know
I respect you both..!!.. you both are doing very good job by explaining very deep points about your Martial arts styles.... thanks for teaching us with this awesome way ...
Thanks for watching and commenting!
So when did Kung Fu teachers start being called sensei? Kung Fu is Chinese right? I'm conFUsed.
I explain on my website. But the technique talk was the main point! Thank you for the comment!
2:46 "As I cross my hand..." You get hit with the cross.
Always move to the outside. Take advantage of foot work.
Whenever possible, you bet!
My Kempo class had a kung fu sudent come in to join our sparring and he lost.
Robert Schuster. Knew a Wushu Kung fu Shifu that would work our Ed Parker style Kenpo class. Most of us with one hand.... Its the person not the style...just saying.
@D core It wasn't fights to the death.
try with a kyukushin karate fighter
You drive in with your elbow towards the person face with shuto - while covering your own buttons with the wrapped arm-, that's why the technique is initiated with the hand to opposite ear, it's a cover and crash for "two".
Great suggestion!
I like this guy, first he is great expierence fighter, and second he finds the time to actually respond to people comments!
Ha! I try to keep up. Thank you for taking the time to comment first!
Kung fu rule Oh yeah love wing Chun r.i.p sifu Bruce Lee and sifu yip man
I agree! :D
I could easily debunk this video
And, yet, here you are.
Karate is LITERALLY the evolution of Kung Fu. Whilst I agree that Kung Fu is WAY richer in culture and mysticism. When it comes to self defense and just flat out beating some one up, Karate (most styles of Karate) is far superior. Its less show.
Whatever works for you, sir!
B Campos 2 very different branches of the same tree
EvilSwordman biased much? they are different things. karate was developed for selfdefense, Kung Fu was developed for exercise. they only look similar to the noob eye. btw there's nothing 'basic' about karate. if you knew anything about karate you would know this. it's also not copied from Kenpo as you falsely claim.
EvilSwordman yeah, no. Okinawa. and before u start off on how there was influence from Chinese on the development of Okinawa Te, there was influence all over the world's many directions from everywhere. it doesn't make it the same, and it certainly doesn't make some random Chinese martial art better.
karate evolved in its own way and is fundamentally different from kung fu. especially notably in the way that it's much more realistic.
I'm getting pretty sick and tired of this constant frustrated Chinese propaganda crap about who invented martial arts.
bottom line: China/Chinese didn't. and certainly not karate.
kung fu is not a martial art. wushu means art of battlefield. so why it doesnt sound like exercice? idiot. kung fu is more complete than karate. accept that !!!
Thanks guys, lots of love and laughs
Love to you, too!
You are a good martial artist love your vids and know this kid will always watch your vids
I’m glad you’re here, Scott! Keep fighting!👊🏼
Kung fu wins!
If you're training, you're winning! :)
Try Fighting a MMA fighter dude and ACTUAL fighter
I'm pretty sure Bruce Lee can take them on!
EvilSwordman 😂
So tired of MMA meatheads roasting true martial arts
im tired of mma meatheads aswell but this is not true martial arts
jojibot exactly
Shouldn't you be called 'Sifu' or 'Shifu' if you are practicing Wu Shu Kung Fu?
I'm just happy to be called Ando, really. :) The longer answer is over here: www.senseiando.com/about-ando-mierzwa/
The collaborative quality of these videos is a lesson in itself.
We're all martial artists, right? :)
I am a J.K.D practitioner and also use Shotakan techniques.I have won 41 of 43 fights using this combined method.my opponents never know what to expect next.Always keep em wondering what you will be be capable of next smart warriors.
Keep them wondering-excellent! 👍🏼
Interesting love to get into this style understanding :) Love to do the same. Very friendly but I have some thoughts about both. Loved the Video. Really glad to meet ya. I would like to thank Jesse for all his hard work too. Thanks
Yes, sir... keep it friendly and we can all learn a lot more! Thank you for the comment!
Training on shotokan , youre still a great inspiration. I think most big arts equal and it all depends on the artist and not the art , and youre a great artist.
You are absolutely correct. :)
The biggest thing both of you are missing is the thing that should be every martial artists number one mantra: PREPARE FOR EVERYTHING. Don’t just assume one thing will work and another thing won’t, think 5 steps ahead and consider every possibility to be an eventuality. Not only will this way of thinking improve your martial arts skills but it will also improve your basic learning skills which will help you in your everyday life.
Agreed!
I have to admit, as a karateka, that he got it wrong. In order for the shuto to of worked, he should of gone on the outside of his opponent. The objective goal of the shuto is to strike the nerve system, not just the neck. Personally, it was me, I would of gone for the outside range of the opponent and gone for the elbow joint to apply pressure, in order to immobilise the opponent and used my foot on the rear of the knee joint to of brought them down at the same time. This way is more safer than full out injuring someone for life, which I don't think is necessary for a moment of madness. We are all human beings and we all get upset and we all make mistakes. Someone doesn't need to be injured for life because of it.
Thanks for your two cents!
Shuto can also be used on the shoulder to stop a strike! That way it's a defensive attack. It hurts your shoulder and distracts you and gives you enough time for a kick or something else! This video is amazing though, both practitioners are amazing and their explanations are believable and fair. Well done!
Excellent. Thank you for the comment!
A lot of people here wanted to see an actual fight to see how they would do, but especially when I saw the end of the video, felt that it wasn't about that. I think they are both trying to encourage people to keep an open mind, and to really think about their technique, to always be refining and such. It's always good to see techniques tried out in the real world to see what works, but I think fighting it out, they felt, may have overshadowed that message. At any rate, it's a very informative video, and I love the sense of humor of both these guys.
Right! You don’t learn much by just watching two other people fight… it’s all about what information you can use for yourself. Thanks for the comment!
Hahaha! You guys are great to watch. Eating the turkey leg was a riot.
Thank you kindly, sir!
When will you finally realize, it's not one style or art versus another, but one practitioner against the other. The most determined and skilled at their art usually prevails.
We know. Just talking shop. Thanks for watching! :-)
Wow, awesome!
You guys actually invented "Correspondence fight" concept, akin Correspondence chess.
HA! 😄 That’s hilarious, Michel.
They could do correspondence student classes and correspondent gradings... and they could email you a certificate, and a photo of a belt! :D
...hm...right foot to groin 1...
I await your response...😂
I love correspondence chess! This is a great idea 😅
Just subscribed Sensei Ando. Been following Jesse for about six weeks. I started training in MA's in 74. I hung my belt up in 2014 out of frustration. Both you and Jesse advocate open minded ness and recognition of application before spoon fed aesthetics. Thanks to both of you for reigniting my interest it Karate ( my foundation) and now Kung Fu. Many thanks to you both👍
So glad you made it back to the path, sir! Training will always pay you back. Keep going!👍🏼
It's not about which is the martial art it's about who's the fighter is.
I liked this video.
Agree 100%!
4:42 I love that move. I use a KALI version. But it collects back hand to front hand (long hand) southpaw stance. 1. FOOK SAO “A covering crane action. 2. BUI GEE “A jkd finger jab. 3. ACTION WITH THE CLOSE HAND FINISHES.
just a thought.... you can check the first punch and strike with the same hand and then check with the left hand again to the counter punch and shuto
An excellent idea, sir!
the idea behind the intro of the sword hand strike is to show its flex.. 1 you can block with the reverse hand or the crossing hand 2 you can grab with the hand that strikes/blocks 3 you dont need to grab but strike instead 4 in feeling your opponent during any exchange ,, his tempo and ability can determine your response..you can change it into a series of chops and stabs to the upper region..or you can decide to stop the fight with a single jab to the throat / eye / nose.. you need to be flexible with your crossing hands techniques.. there is always an answer to any question in combat.
Thanks for your two cents! 👍🏼
@@AndoMierzwa glad you found value.
7:35 This is so fun. In my VIPER JKD we would skip the third beat on the shooto meaning. We would deflect (back hand) same time front hand goes al the way in with a big strike. Instead of grabbing. That’s the only part we’d skip.
It’s all in the variations. Thanks for the comment! 👍🏼
Look at 3:14 min to see what the movement look like, in a more realistic way, and understand it let no place to opponent reaction, moreover if he's not an experimented martial art practicing.
Then understand that the grabbing of the opponent arm after the blocking is not essential.
Then understand that even the blocking of the opponent attack is not essential.
Then you have a preview of what "Go no Sen" mean and why it is essential in Karate.
Btw, personnaly, I prefer use the "Shuto Uchi" technique to target the Temple of the opponent rather than his neck, more efficient and harder to protect.
Thanks for the detailed analysis! Happy training!
Shoe-Toe Meets ToFu for the next video!!
Love Ando sensei's spirit and humor.
Everyone that takes the time to better themselves each day is a martial arts/kung Fu practioner.
Everyone that respects the other arts are martial artists.
Everyone of the above that is willing to keep an open mind and learn from each other.
True masters.....
I agree! It's all about sharing. Thanks for the open mind and sense of humor! :)
Super useful for me because I do traditional Karate and I am a green belt but it's good to know from a kung fu and karate masters.Thank you so much for your advice
Thanks, Ana! Congrats on the green belt. Keep going! 👊🏼
My picture was just recently posted in the Denver post for training to be fighter. Maybe someday when I gather a larger following we can train and practice together Sensei Ando!
That's so cool! Yes, keep training and maybe our paths will cross!
Kung fu guy has a valid point. Nobody punches and leaves their arm out. One step and two step sparring is not actual sparring/fighting. It’s just practice. Blocking really becomes dodge and cover in a real fight/sparring match.
Thank you for watching!
Very Good Video, and I love what you said the last half minute. And for the other comentators on this video who would like to see you fight: The one who searches for a fight is not an martial artist. The one who could avoid fighting is an martial artist.
I agree that watching us fight isn’t very instructive. It’s applying ideas to your own training to see what works for you that matters! Thank you for the comment!
You are right my friend. We need to respect and edify each other. To often we tear down where we should respect. Nice info by the way.
The fact that you know about hikite just shows in how far martial arts actually are alike.
Thanks for showing that!
We all have more in common that we sometimes think! :)
Sir, I've always wanted to ask a question. Recently, Chinese Kung Fu has been questioned by the public at the real combat level. What do you think of this
I think you should compare fighters, not styles.
Ando Mierzwa Thank you very much for your reply. In fact, there is no malice in my remarks. I am also a Wing Chun lover. This is why I hope to find out why Chinese traditional martial arts always fail in modern fighting. I am glad to see that there are still many people who love Chinese martial arts to pay tribute to you.
@@ihatetuesday.4318 I don't see style versus style... I see one guy who practices with contact and another guy who doesn't. Happy training!
🙏
Great stuff! As a Kung Fu guy I particularly liked this one! ;) Seriously though, there are NO "best styles"! All approaches to the martial arts have something to offer and it's up to the individual to find a path that fits. Even then... it's a good idea to look at the other paths too ;) Cheers, Sifu Ruiseart.
You hit the nail on the head, Sifu. Find the path that fits! Cheers! :)
great video.... loved this !
great martial arts fun !
I appreciate that. Thank you! 🙏🏻
Jesse didn't use the inside palm parry and outside elbow wrench-shuto, which might be faster and rather nasty, or a right hand strike to the punching arm-shuto. The right arm isn't meant only to be moved inside for a shuto. That's a parry and punch at the same time, or a parry and rising back knuckle strike to the arm.
Hi Noah! Great ideas. I think Jesse-sensei was just keeping things simple. But absolutely, both hands should be working! Thanks for watching!
Terrific job guys, great video from different perspectives.
Thank you for the comment!
That was fantastic. I learned a lot of martial arts in the Air Force and Federal Police Academy. I am very petite so I always take advantage of "going with flow," using the force and momentum of the other person, quick punches and chops, surprise shin and body kicks, and of course arm bars. I like ground fighting too...I have some certs lol. Now that I am 38, I would love to get back into martial arts, and study a style exclusively. I have to figure out what style is best for me. I love speed, blocking, and punching and kicking the most. Suggestions welcome:) I am also interested in the meditation aspect of martial arts. I don't think people know how peaceful true warriors are. lol
Yes, absolutely get back on the mats! 👍🏼 I recommend finding a teacher that impresses you more than a particular style. Especially if you’re interested in the bigger life lessons training can provide. But don’t overthink it- just sign up someplace and have a new experience! :)
You completely missed the fact that by striking across his own body with his arm it leaves that entirely side of his body open, more notably the ribs. Any style of point contact (Praying Mantis, Dove, Crane, randomly jamming your thumb into his armpit) is going to shock his body and make him force that arm back down effectively abandoning his entire attack and opening up his center.
That’s an idea worth practicing!
