Which martial art should I try next? 😁
Capoeira
Judo
Maybe jeet kune do or glima
@@AgnivIsHere that would be Nice to see!
Try to meet Naka Tatsuya. he have his own youtube channel called "KURO-OBI WORLD" and he likes to meet other people and learn new things. he has 778k subscribers.
Looks like Japanese Capoeira kinda! Wonder what the link is there. Great video
Thank you sir! 🔥
@@Parker8752 i dont think so, they sent a lot of ppl to Brazil, but not many came from there, specially black ppl who had practiced capoeira
I was thinking the same😄🙏🏻🥋
@@omarkharnivall2439 many japanese people spent some time in Brazil and later traveled back to Japan, so that could be a thing
I don’t think capoeira back then even really resembled modern capoeira. Taido definitely looks like Japanese capoeira, though.
Here after Reina reveal in Tekken 8
I've been a capoeira practitioner for some years and I must say that this martial art has a lot similar to capoeira, incredible
im a capoeira practicioner too and i agree
Same I’m a capoeira practitioner to
That’s likely coincidental since a spade is a spade no matter the colour, and an acrobatic martial art is an acrobatic martial art no matter the specific movements
Tekken 8's new character Reina uses this art. This is gonna be interesting.
this looks like it would be so much fun to learn, i can imagine Taido and Capoeira users just taking notes from each other all day and just having a grand ol time
And then breakdancers just removed the violence aspect and kept the creativity, for pure entertainment
You read my mind
As a Capoeira/Karate guy I can say for sure I'm gonna try some of this stuff
Capoeria people always look like they're having fun. BJJ people always look miserable.
It is nice to find the similarities between Taido, Silat and Capoeira, yet Capoeira is around 500 years old, and Capoeira itself has influences from N'golo and in later centuries, Batuque and other practices. Some even said Capoeira was influenced by Savate (French Sailors who made their way to Brazil). I think Capoeira has a very unique aesthetic and techniques (Meia Lua de Compasso/rabo de arraia, chapeu de couro/martelo do chao, armada martelo, au batido) that are truly characteristic and that originated within Capoeira. I can see some similarities in Taido, that "mule kick" from the ground is now in Capoeira as "chapa." A lot of people, for example, do not know that a lot of the techniques of Breakdancing originated from Capoeira thanks to Mestre Jelon Vieira and Loremil Machado travelling to the United States in the 70's and teaching the youth there (who would later incorporate those movements into their music). I would suggest Jesse to try Capoeira with a group such as ABADA Capoeira, Gingamundo, or a line that follows Mestre Camisa, if not Capoeira Muzenza, as they are perhaps the bigger groups that retain the most "martial art" and less "dance-like" aspect of Capoeira. I say this as a capoeirista with 18 years of training.
Taido's moves have a lot of similarities/cognates with penchak silat and capoeira. My question is not its effectiveness but how long can an average fighter keep it up before gassing out just using nothing else but taido. Is it energy efficient compared to standard mma/bjj styles? Or is it something best to add/mix as a surprise in tactics. Great demo as always,Sensei,ous!👍😊❤🤜
If you're Nate Diaz you'll probably become better at it as the rounds pass.
It kinda looks like dog boxing or dishuquan
If anything, Taido will increase one’s stamina, which improves all aspects in life…
@@mochiisntbad6762 I really doubt it tbh. Nate Diaz has good cardio but I think he has a better chin (and mental strength cause he bleeds easily and gets dropped a lot but was never truly KO'd) than cardio
Nate doesn't move his body a lot and he actually has good technique to keep his cardio pumping until the end of the fight. Watch Gabriel Varga's video about what makes Nate Diaz so good, it's pretty good
@@tevman69 Not the point of the question.
Reina Mishima's fighting style in Tekken 8 👍.
"So how would I use this in a fight?"
"Just keep mashing the kick buttons."
Love it. From a Capoeira fighter 💪🤸♂️
Boom!
Only 1 comment dang
i very much appreciate how you actually showed us how it works in real sparring with resistance great video as always
My pleasure!! 👊
@@KARATEbyJesse The Swenglish of the Taido sensei was hilarious
This video truly spoke to me. I'm always trying to be creative and unorthodox with my karate but there are some that say I shouldn't because it is "not karate". I love doing Shotokan but I really don't like the idea of being limited to one thing with only one way of doing it. I hope the culture changes some day.
Shotokan, is a great start/foundation (special if you have a good instructor and research it yourself) but it should deffiently not be your end. For me I use what I've learned about mention, hitting, body mechanics from shotokan and transfer that into other movement. Taido I think would be a great pairing as well
I have a huge passion for martial arts and I would practice them all if I could. I don't know what it is exactly but I just think it is beautiful. Karate has and always will be my first love but it has an issue of being stuck in the past, clinging on to an old tradition.
Look at all the different styles of karate. I'd say that was the golden era of karate. It was evolving and shaping into something else while still being the same martial art.
Your true karate comes from you, so , by self expressing yourself in your movements, you're being creative using karate .
To survive real fights...it helps to be creative and using techniques you might've made up your own, including illegal ones. Because in real fighting it's who incapacitates the other first, with either pain or breaking of bones or a limb.
I used to train Capoeira for several years after 16 years of Kyokushin, this looks like a pretty cool mash-up of both! cool stuff Jesse! Osu
Hey Jesse just a heads up: Upcoming fighting video game Tekken 8 has a taido practitioner for the first time in new character Reina so you could be looking at increased traffic. There's a lot of karate in Tekken already, from kyokushin to polskie karate. Would love to see you examine their interpretations in a video sometime!
I was brought here by Tekken 8.
tf is polskie karate
@@makskorecki6235 Poland Karate
The main skill that Taido teaches is "comfort". Many body positions, movements, and angles of attack are practiced until you body can do them easily - your muscles are toned for it, you have muscle memory of the movements, and you understand the reason to be (or not be) in any given position. You become comfortable with Taido's approach to fighting.
Taido operates a bit heavily on the target watching you, unsure how to go about fighting you. The more familiar they are with how you move and what you can do from any given position, the less effective it becomes - but this is not that different from any other martial art; even boxing, an art sharp and often in close quarters, is this way. But Taido excels in how much the target must learn before they know how to neutralize you. It has a strength here in the window of how long it takes someone to learn how to handle you. But in the end... all of the balance shifting and momentary loss of sight of your target take their toll ... the weakness of Taido is competent brutality. If someone times high mass impacts against you while you are mid-move in Taido, it is the same as being caught in a throw in the middle of an aerial kick. Your body and balance are so out of position that you cannot defend yourself. You will get knocked around, and end up grappling/wrestling. But then you get back into a strength of Taido - part of training is learning how to get up quickly/fluidly from almost any position.
Someone else in comments mentioned that Taido and wrestling pair well together as martial arts.
I agree.
The only thing this acrobatic self humiliation teaches you is how to be fighting movie wannabe extra and how to get |
Won't lie, this comment alone could convince me to start practicing 🤯🤣
@@shoppingrb9544 I don't think you got what he was meaning. If you can fight from an position, you're more prepared for a fight than most standard arts. Mix this, boxing, wrestling, and maybe tai boxing or karate and you'll be ready for anyone really.
Боевые искусства не всегда сводятся к мордобою, как бы странно это не звучало
@@righttohavebeararms.4300 exactly, taido is more like having a spiced up bag of tricks you can pull out as a "surprise!!! got ya bitch" i wouldn't be surprised if the whole point of the art is to try to catch your opponent off guard.
Hi Jesse, I am a 14 year old junior black belt from New Jersey practicing Shotokan and I would like to thank you for the videos you make. You inspire me to continue working to get better and I hope someday to be like you. Keep up the good work 👍
All of you of which Tekken 8 brought us here 👇👇👇
Kinda reminds me if Capoeira. Looks super fun I would love to give Taido a go
Like a Japanese version of Capoeira almost!
And, likewise, is very dependent on flow, improvisation and constant movement, good stuff
@@KARATEbyJesse I was going tô comment that 😂 Japanese Capoeira!
@@KARATEbyJesse Absolutely! I thought the same.
First thing i thought was "japanese capoeira "
Fantastic representation of Taido, the combinations of 3 dimensional movements is extremely challenging to counter because it mixes levels, angels, and speeds. Dr. Shukumine was ahead of his time, when you think about MMA today and the combination of these same elements. I also want to highlight one of his prize pupils, Uchida Kaicho of U.S. Taido who took the art from Dr. Shukumine and grew it into the largest school in the world. The students from this school have gone on to not only win in major events from Taido to even Brazilian JiuJitsu competitions, but most are doctors, lawyers, and most importantly serve their communities. This is what Uchida Kaicho is most known for, embodying the way of the bushido and his students as a result, were imparted with these principles. Ossu!
Fun to watch this but a half decent wrestler would be able to counter this easily. Wayyyy too many openings for shots, take downs, and grappling throws. Combined with a very basic knowledge of BJJ taido wouldn't stand a chance
@@Lvl.9Turtle totally agree as a brown belt in BJJ myself, and great observation. Interesting enough, US Taido conducts grappling classes one day a week.
@@theschue5990 The distance concept in Taido is similar to iaido/kenjutsu, aikido and what I will here call the Funakoshi-like styles of karate. Much further apart than for example: Uechi-ryu, Ishinn-ryu, judo, BJJ, Silat Suffian Bela Diri by Maul Mornie (channel Maul565), and Wing Chun and the latter’s unacknowledged sister arts from the Lingnan Region of China. And therein lies the problem. If there was a “mi-ai rule” that folks have to keep apart so the Taido-ka can launch their tricky long distance sneak attacks, then it works. But as soon as an opponent breaks the mi-ai by closing and for example, kicking the taidoka’s ribcage when he is crouching between kicks, or breaking through the upper body defense to get inside the arms with some chain punches or an elbow to the nose, or grappling and immobilizing, then it’s all over for Taido.
@@Lvl.9Turtle Never have I been so offended by something I 100% agree with. But, that is not the point of Taido anyway. It focuses a lot more on the mental side and self control, which I absolutely love.
I've been doing Taido for 7.5 years and I easily lose a fight to my friend with a couple months of boxing experience. But it's definetely a lot better than nothing.
basic rule... never take your eyes off the opponent... broken a million times a sparring in taido
My friend send me this video after Tekken 8 last character reveal. Reina Mishima uses Taido alot in her moveset
The release of Reina Trailer brought me here was curious what this style was 😲
I really liked this video, especially how it actually pressure tested taido.
Only gripe is that you spent 2 hours doing and then went straight into sparring, maybe more like 10-20 hours doing so that you get a real good concept of taido's flow and movement would have been better before sparring
(also ouch for that guy who caught an up kick straight to the jaw)
10-20 hours for a complete rookie might be good, but Jesse has plenty of expertise in Karate, master of one style and trained in many other styles, beside some experience in various other martial arts, some (like Kung Fu styles) have circular movements.
so I think 2 hours were fine for him to get the hand of it.
@@belalabusultan5911
10 - 20 weeks, months, or even YEARS...
for a complete rookie might be good.
i love how you respect everyone and take things seriously. keep up the great work :)
Jessie is a Golden boy
i have to scroll a lot till i find some comment that i like
Can't lie, I had to look up Taido since I heard that the new Tekken character used it. Had no idea what it was; thanks for the video.
That shrimp kick seems very practical as it creates distance , secures your upper body and the only counter i can think of would be a well timed leg sweep. No one in MMA would expect that kind of stuff. As a whole , it might not be effective, but the best parts of it seem practical.
Oh Jesse, if you liked Taido you really need to take a look at the Taido series on the Kurobi-World channel, Sensei Nakano is simply amazing!
I'll sure check it out
Agree, first I know Taido is from that channel.
So true; Nakano Sensei’s knowledge, physical control and even his teaching abilities are exceptional
I remember coming across Taido before and found the philosophy facinating. But the gap between how Okinawan karate moves and Taido seems huge, despite them being so closely related. I always wondered how it could be incorporated into a more Okinawan syllabus and taught in the dojo. Especially when not everyone has the natural athleticism to pull it off without years of training, especially as you get older. It would be interesting to see how you make this a regular part of your karate.
If I remember correctly, the founder of Taido, Seiken Shukumine, did create a style of karate before he created Taido. That style was called Gensei ryū I belief. It might be worth looking into it!
after studying taido for 2 or 3 years, it is definitely a gymnastics based martial art. you kick mostly on the ground and you can incorporate all of the movements with rolls and cartwheels and handsprings, which is very unique. over all, once you get to your green belt, it gets much easier to pack all techniques together in sparring
@@hysterical5408 gensai ryu while probably still taught by someone it would probably be harder to find a teacher for then it is of taido. both of them are kind of hard to find as their not really popular martial arts. while i can take a couple minute drive to a kenpo and i use to have a goju ryu studio i could walk to that was just down a couple blocks. i dont know where to even start with gensai ryu or even taido, other then the us taido karate school in atlanta which is quite far from where I'm at. so unless somehow gensai ryu is a ton more popular and I haven't heard...
There's a probability this video sees a surge of views, Tekken 8 just announced their newest character and she uses Taido
sorry but at first i thought the name of the Taido teacher was Mikael Jackson 🤣 (0:20)
As a long time taido practitioner i really enjoyed watching this! Thanks for making the vid Jesse and also thanks to Mikael Jansson for taking the time for this. Mikael is a great dude! Hope to see some more taido here in the future too. 🙂💪
The coolest thing about Taido is that it has feints and mixups. You can “hide” a punch or a kick behind a stance change or a level change.
Also, Taido is super compatible with Greco Wrestling.
Also… you should try Bujinkan next. It’s basically Aikido on Crack cranked up to 11
Or Harimau Silat - it’s the Taido / Capoeira style of Silat (which is the Karate of South East Asia, with hundreds of different styles ranging from being either a Sport to a Health Practice to a Moving Museum to an Assassination Art to a form of Yoga, depending on which school or style you come across)
Aikido on crack love it 😀
Aikido on crack lmao best comment XD
How on earth is it compatible with greco wrestling.
Who came here to see Tekken 8's Reina art style?
I love your humility and respect throughout the entire video. That's hard to find with martial artists today
I'm impressed with the agility of Sensei at old age. As a Brazilian guy this remember me Capoeira.
When you goes to Japan again, try to find Taikiken Sensei. He is a Kyokushin master that mix Karate with Yi Quan. This will be a kinesthetic power improvement for you.
*blink blink* Well, THAT'S NOT A TERRIFYING COMBINATION, NOW IS IT?
Learning about the martial art that's mentioned in Jujutsu Kaisen actually greatly contextualizes the more free flowing striking used by Yuji.
Honestly regardless of how effective Taido is in a fight it just looks like it's extremely fun to learn
Vilket härligt klipp Mikael, jättebra och intressant, mvh Patrik
i like how when jesse say "it was almost like everyone was laughing at me"
you could see oliver smiling in the back
There's definitely element of surprise, but it feels like the techniques use a LOT of energy. Also reminds me of capoeira. This alludes back to Jesse's great explanation using the mountain and the climb every styles take to attain the peak of human biomechanics.
Yes, in order to keep yourself from exausting your energy supply you really need to use breathing technique and that hateful advice * drumrolls * Relax! 😀
you get used to it if you crawl low EVERYDAY. LOTS OF LUNGES. not like in the gym but at home and goofying around. make it a part of yourself, not just as training.
@karlwithak. no athlete gets tired that fast. i'm not a grandma.
@@kpsiex neither is your opponent. And that's the problem here
Refreshing video thank you!
As always me and my students love your karate adventures. I will definitely be sharing this one with them.
Wow, that was really cool to watch, it's cool to see the different styles, and their perspectives of things.
Taido is truly something that requires speed, accuracy, power, and timing as well as great posture in terms of launching attacks. My exposure to this martial art was, of course, through Tekken's very own Williams Sisters from Ireland, Nina Williams and Anna Williams. Not only are they both specialists in Taido but also in Aikido, Koppojutsu, and Hapkido.
Wow, no wonder I think Taido moves is familiar. I used to play Tekken, and Nina is one of my favorites. I usually using Jin or Ganryu. Maybe I should play again, it's been years.
I knew I've seen those moves somewhere! I suspected it might be Tekken but couldn't place it on anyone specific.
Now I'll see the game in a new way
Honestly my belief is Asuka Kazama's school is Taido inspired.
@@KevinTangYT that’s what I had in mind tbh. Seems like Taido with Aikido in her throws and counters
Everything you have done for yourself and for us brother thank you. It's amazing to see each video and your experience and journey.
Jesses Videos have such a way of telling a story, honestly amazing
Thank you for all your videos. As an individual who loves all martial arts, learning about them, and learning about ones i've never heard of, I am very appreciative of your work!
Glad you like them!
I think it's amazing just how many martial arts take root in Okinawan Karate, how many schools' origins can be traced to the archipelago.
Most definitely! 👍
oh wow, that was one of the most interesting sparring sessions I've ever seen! I absolutely love their philosophy for martial arts as well, it really resonates with my own.
I'd love to see some more in depth details on this style.
Who else came here because of Reina Mishima from Tekken 8? 👊😈⚡
Right here brother
lol, who's here after reina's reveal?
what’s that?
@@KARATEbyJesse yeah sorry - brace yourself coz a number of people will visit your channel after tekken 8 reina reveal. :D
Keep it up I love this, I don't know how effective it is but I love learning new things, thank you for bringing this to us.
I'm extremely impressed by the flow of taido. Very similar to the capoeira I'm accustomed too. While watching, I was keeping a rhythm in my head and it may help you as well with the timing. Wishing I was still that agile though lol.
Came here because of Reina from Tekken 8😂
Sensei does Reina's back + 4, and a forward 1+2, into 3, 4. You really appreciate the care they did in translating this style into the game.
Edit: he even does Reina's stance transition from Unsoku Gen to Sentai to a more practical Heaven's Wrath stance. Such a beautiful art.
Was waiting for the electric
@@AhmedHasb DORIYA!
Another great video! Love this channel
I feel an advantage of this is how you can change levels, go from high to low really fast and always keep your opponent thinking. As a grappler id love to try incorporate a take down system into it too to add yet another level to it.
I was watching some clips and saw that Taido has some pretty sweet takedowns
Fun Fact, in the japanese comic(manga) Jujutsu Kaisen: the main character, Yuji Itadori used some taido techniques like the "manji kick" and "knee release"!
This looks very interesting and it looks like a video game, with very "flowy" combos! it looks super cool! As I am a practitioner of taekwondo and muay thai, I can really appreciate flashy and powerful kicks! I love the creativity that goes into this sport, because it's like new water in a stale pond, styles like these are very much needed by other martial arts, so things keep evolving and improving!
Indeed, and this is what irks me about folks who still say "if you really wanna fight, just learn MMA." They don't seem to be aware that MMA was, and still is, and ever evolving experiment, as is all martial arts. There isn't, and shouldn't be, a single easy answer to combat, and the moment you think you have an all purpose answer is the moment someone more creative and open-minded finds a new way to dismantle your techniques.
You exemplifiy martial artists who continuously evolve - never stop learning/absorbing knowledge! ✊🥋🇨🇳🇰🇷🇯🇵
Awesome, I like how you go and get experience in different methods as opposed to most youtube experts that automatically dismiss a method as useless based on only watching a few minutes of isolated drills.
Interesting... Taido's tactical and strategic logic reminded me of our capoeira here in Brazil.
Because they copy it from Capoeira and now they are hidden that fact. They didn't even mention Capoeira similarity to leading us to think that is 100% Japanese. Martial arts style creators is a realm full of liars.
Capoeira without the dancing 🙄
as a capoeirista, yes, i literally see no difference
@@gloria5332 I find capoeira a lot worther though.
I started practicing boxing as a kid. Later I changed to Muay Thai and I stayed there for a long time.
At some point I trained the dance stance of capoeira for one reason:
I wanted to be able to pass on the energy/momentum, that you create by dancing from one side to the other, to my kicks.
Since I started out as a Boxer, I was always better with my fists than my feet. I always felt stiff and not nimble enough to kick effectively...
Well capoeira helped me A LOT to get into a flow. I learned to minimize the movement I make for a kick to only the most required and effective steps.
(I’ve practiced almost every regular martial art by now and I can tell which one is good for which purpose. Capoeira is the best for what I mentioned. It teaches you to be fast and light footed. unpredictable and dangerous)
Nowadays kicks are my strongest weapon and I’m sure capoeira helped me to get here.
TAIDO, however, looks like bs to me. Looks like a enhanced version of these fake martial artists.
Im certainly sure that I wouldn’t have improved my kicks by that much if I would have practiced taido instead of capoeira.
So yes, both martial arts are very similar but not equally effective.
This stuff looks fantastic. Adding it to the bucket list
Thanks for the vid this is great!
I always thought of Taido as a good way of training but not really transferable to practical fights. It's good that you made it work! Now I think it's good for fighters with great stamina!
Taido looks like a splendid leg workout! I’ll have to try it for myself.
Me too
It’s super exhausting!! 🔥
That ending was so awesome and so awe inspiring!!!!!!!!
Reina Tekken 8
Interesting! I always wondered what style (other than Aikido) Asuka Kazama from Tekken did. This looks like exactly that. Nice video as always, Jesse!
Nice video! I like the mentality of being creative when you fight. Martial artists in general keep doing the same tecniques every time and become stiff. Its good to do crazy stuff when you're sparring. Some may work, some won't, but at least you are loosing your body and avoid becoming predictible. It may be a crazy move, but the best move is the one that your opponent doesn't expect :D
Thanks you so much for this discovery, I think I really love Taido.
Glad you enjoy it!
I'm really enjoying your videos! Hope you make a video about Hapkido. 🙏
Very good video! My friend and I have always wanted to see your take on the martial art we train. I will say that the real secret advantage that Taido has is its footwork. It forces you to fight ambidextrously and constantly changes the distance similar to capoeira's ginga. Ramsey Dewey has a great video as well as any of Nakano sensei's videos from kurobi world.
A Karate Expert from Okinawa... then NOTHING... how could you leave us hanging like this.😁
😏
My brain automatically filled the blank "...from Okinawa, the birthplace of Karate"
Skumine come from Okinawa to Japan and created Genseiryu Karate. In the 1960’s, he broke away from Genseiryu and created Taido.
I love how Sensei started to make Taido work for him! That was awe-inspiring!
I think this video is really great!🔥💪
This is an amazing martial art! When I was teaching Pencak-Silat (many years ago) we had some similar techniques. These days (at 64 years of age) I prefer to kick them in the knee/groin, punch them face and run away as fast as possible! ;) Great video, many thanks :)
Who's here after the #Tekken8 Reina reveal?
i remember training Taido in the early 90s and i love the flow of it, it's not that effective in combat but it makes you really agile.
Hi Jesse ! It's so great that you tried the techniques in sparring sessions and showed us, which is something almost no one does when it comes to traditional martial arts. I'm a GoJu Ryu practitioner in a journey to promote practical karate, and for example, it's been really fun analyzing bunkai and trying to figure out ways to make some of them transition into sparring, but the thing is, when it comes to sparring, what we do, looks like mma if you engage in Irikumi rules for example, which is normal, because the less restrictions there are, disciplines dotend to look similar. So I was wondering if you've encountered a technique that is exclusive or almost exclusive to karate that is viable in a free sparring scenario, so far I've thought of awase zuki, but I've seen it before in other disciplines, especially to hide a kick.
-Andrés A.
Amazing, your videos always give motivation to me, and open new pages in my martial arts journey.
Thank you Sensei Jessie.😁
Thanks for watching!! 🙏
I’ve been researching Okinawan/Japanese arts. This style looks very beatiful! I love fluid systems with swift footwork. I see it’s similarities to capoeira. I could see these techniques being great add ons to someone’s repertoire.
Go for it!
No you can’t…. This would NOT work against someone who knows even a fraction of what they’re doing, like a decent boxer.
Brilliant introduction to Taido and video sir :) Never heard of it till now. Now I am intrigued
Glad you liked it!
Thank you the way of thinking of this material art is very useful ♥️🌹
Reina's appearance in Tekken 8 brought me back here.
Japanese creativity seems like such a dichotomy to me. They are famed for being rooted in tradtion, almost to a fault, but at the same time are quite creative and embrace the wildest stuff with such passion. Not just martial arts, but in art, business etc. I'd love to hear your take on that; have you addressed the subject in any of your videos?
Good idea!
Also, I love your content. Thank you so much for your wonderful attitude.
You are so welcome Kerry!
Its like mixed Karate and Capoeira with light touches of TKD..
Hi sir, im a fan of your videos..i was once a Martial Artist but i stopped mid way so i could finish my studies and now i have a very busy job..since then i missed the training and sparring sessions..i really missed it..now im a big fat busy man..always a plessure watching your videos and trying out every martial arts you can try
The first time I saw taido, practically, I thought, this is BS but I've been doing martial arts for 8 years and my gut tells me this is effective... apparently there's a key to it. It's not like conventional martial arts where 1 technique is always effective, instead, if one doesn't work, move in to the next one or try the first one again. This is awesome, Thanks Jesse!
in the real fight, there is NO technique, only reaction/reflex.🤷🏿♂️
When you look at it from a puristic point of view, it might seem dangerous and not wise to move like this. But what if you think about it as an aspect of fighting, a way of moving you ALSO train? In my opinion THEN it becomes really interesting! You could use/train it to expand your possibilities of motion, attack and defense. Maybe it is not the right way to force it all the time just as you wouldn't force ground fighting or wrestling or boxing all the time. You always have to quickly decide what is right the behavior according to your opponent. To me it seems useful to train attacking and defending from impossible angles so you have answers for situations like when you accidentally fall to the ground or want to confuse your opponent by less predictable moving so that you break their rhythm, given that you don't lose your ability to defend yourself (randomly flailing around and giving an opening for attacks wouldn't help you).
I really like the general idea of exploring your possibilities of how you can move. Maybe some moves are stupid and useless at least at a certain time, but maybe you can also discover interesting new strategies that if applied in the right situation in the right way would be really beneficial.
Great video as always!
I love how you made this video like oh it doesn't work then it suddenly works in the end..
I enjoyed that and theres definitely a philosophy etc that can be applied from this art. Arigatou gozaimasu 🙇♂️
The issue I have with this is once someone went down to spin around a strong low kick would break the flow and probably ruin the technique, and with all due respect to the Sensei: you probably aren't going to get a second and third attempt, etc.
Thst is a lot harder to do than it seems against experinced attackers. Taido does spar with lowkocks. The 2 hand plant kick used in the begin was something I used to use a lot. Then moved to rules that counted hands on mat as a down so stopped
I thought the same. Also when you're up against a grappler, being bent over with having two hands and one foot on the floor gives them a big advantage.
I know it;
Even the Ancient Ninjas have also trained with Taijutsu as usually short limb and small stature people can easily fit for concealed missions
Taido were correlated with Ancient Taijutsu by the Ninjas as yet among the most well-balanced hand-to-hand combat systems designed especially the greaters ranges on element of surprises,
This fighting systems I cannot ignore this for my long-term goals
👍💯😎🇵🇭❤️💝
Just to clarify. Taido and Taijutsu have nothing in common, they are different martial arts. Source: Me, Taido 2kyu brown belt.
Very cool - adapting as you go! Love the creativity. 🤓
Thank you! Cheers!
what a cool martial art. i gotta try and find myself somebody who teaches this online and take a couple of courses. its definitely a breath of fresh air from practicing shotokan everyday.
This does look fun and awesome.
However, when I played this video in slow motion, I noticed a few weak points in this martial art.
I think it can be used to make sparing fun, but it may not be as effective in a self defense situation.
I noticed the back is exposed, your body does go low to the ground, the instructor didn't always look at his target, and you kind of have to commit to a technique. In self defense it's better to keep your options open, and maintain a constant ability to retreat if needed.
I think this can go with sparing to look cool, like how extreme looks cool for forms/kata.
Taido the Japanese version of Capoeira, and Silat. Cool. Tayari Casel's style of Kung Fu is a lot like that too. Kind of amazing that different discipline of martial arts from different parts of the world came up with the same solution of defense.
This must be a new world to many people. Thank you for making this vodeo, Sen-Sei.
My pleasure!
"CRAZY is just another word of CREATIVE" , thanks for sharing that😊
My pleasure 😊
Have you looked into the Maori fighting systems? The New Zealand Maori have spear and club arts. Taiaha and Mere, Amazing to watch. You dont want to be on the end of them. The Maori were fearless fighters and acknowledged for their bravery.
Sounds awesome!
And they were built like brick s**thouses!
I've heard about it in the anime jujutsu kaisen and I'm glad that you practiced it Mr. Jesse
Facinating style. I like the idea of "a river keeps flowing" miss one shot, flow into another, then another, and another. Its sounds like with training, it can all become very natural. It could really throw an opponent off balance and on the defensive fast if they cannot adapt to your approach.
Thank you it looks a little like that Brazilian style cappoiera I think I miss spelled the word. Have a good day and this was an excellent video😊.
