Okay, this is INSANE!!! I have a V-Star 1300. I had to run down to the store today and remembered watching this video yesterday, so I thought I'd give it a try. USE THIS WITH CAUTION the first time. I shifted my shoulders while cornering and my bike *_TURNED._* I mean, holy crap it turned! I even did a u-turn in the street and I think it might have been the tightest cornering I've ever done. This will cause your bike to be _super_ responsive. Freakin' amazing technique!!!
I watch alot of motorbike content and am a track rider. Most of its entertaining to watch but you are actually a godsend to the community. You are super informative and know exactly what you are talking about. Love your content. Subscribed.
Thank you so much!
Absolutely true!!
💯💯💯
Thank you, brother. You are a blessing to the motorcycle community!
Thanks Frank!
Absolutely 💯
@@MotoJitsu Great video
Your videos aren't good, they're fantastic! I'm a new rider (with a lot of car experience to confuse me), and your channel is by far the most useful bike channel I've found! Cheers!
Glad to help!
Just passed my motorcycle riding test a month back and I got my ninja zx6r as a starter. Before I head out everyday, I watch your videos, like a prayer before meal. As other subscribers and viewers have mentioned, you are god sent. Subscribed.
I live in Dubai and would be honored to introduce you to the rider’s group that I’m part of, when you passby. Just give me a heads-up.
Mate, you are a star. Your vlogs and delivery are both super informative and entertaining. As a rider of 57 years and bike trainer for 20 yrs, I concur with all your advice. I especially like the one of looking both ways at junctions; all junctions including side roads. So, so important for everyone’s safety, there are too many red light runners. I send my clients and trainees to your site to watch how things are done. Even though you all ride on the wrong side of the road (ha ha), the system of bike control is the same. Thank you and be safe.
I watch several motovloggers and try to learn stuff nobody never told me before. I learn something new from time to time, but you give really the basics which should everybody have and basically nobody speaks about them. Thank you very much for your advices.
I basically do what you showed with my upper body part, but I have a little issue with pointing my head to the direction where I need to go. I feel insecure. I think I turn my head only a little. Is there any trick what to practice to improve that?
You're welcome!
have someone take pictures of you going through a corner to see your head turns...pictures don't lie!
I’ve been riding for a year now and I’m always watching your videos. Never really practiced body position until I did my first track day 2 months ago. I still need to practice my BP that’s why I’m still watching this great informative video!! I see what I’m doing wrong with my upper body now…definitely trying this out next time I’m out riding or on the track.
I really appreciate all of your hard work and dedication that you put into these videos.
We’re so blessed to have people like you teaching the FUNdamentals! Thank you for the killer content!!
you're welcome!
Agree
This video plays in my head every time im on a bike since there FIRST time I watched it. You are the best moto channel out there bro. There no bullshit approach used in all your content is beautiful. Thanks for all your help with helping people get better on 2 but most of all just staying alive
I've watched this video countless times. Never stop learning every single time. Keep doing what you're doing, Fast Eddie! Helping alotta people.
Thanks!
Really helpful! I’ve been trying to turn my head and move my lower body, but kind of skipping the upper body. This explains why it hasn’t been very successful. So glad I found this channel! Liked and long ago subscribed. 😃
Thanks Ralph :)
Fast Eddie, I found your videos in June or July and I have been hooked ever since! I practice when at home and pass your advice on to riders when out on the road, I am a truck driver.
I have watched you go from a guy with tips on how to do things correctly to an instructor, and one of the best on UA-cam. From hair to no hair and a black eye, to hair again...
I enjoy your videos, your advice is on point with other professional instructors. Thank you for what you do, I am a better rider because of you! My sliders have not met the pavement yet but it is coming.
Thanks again for what you do.
Thank you so much Eugene!!! I really appreciate it!!!
Same body mechanics used to turn in surfing. Specially top to bottom surfing. You rotate your upper body and the rest follows. Also, to get barrelled, you point your lead arm to the exit. Great job, Eddie.
thanks!
Same deal in skating pools, I've taught many people, I always say point where you want to go.
You are simply the best! So glad I found your channel.
Thanks!
Thanks!
thank you!!!
I like each video before I watch. I’m on a new trend with MotoJitsu videos. I mount the phone on the Ram mount on the bike and then sit on the bike and follow along. Great way to engage and learn. Try it folks.
thanks!

It's been a couple of years since my last ride. I was still learning and going for my license. Been riding dirtbikes 125 and 250 for years. Your doing a great job and i learn a lot from your videos. Always good to educate yourself before starting again. We will see what happens when i go for my license again😄👍
Thanks! :)
I've been watching lots of videos about proper position in cornering, most of the videos i saw starts with the leg then followed by leaning of butt. I am having difficulty on this rhythm. I was sitting on my computer chair and I tried simulating the head and shoulder sideways movement. Your lecture does make sense, can't wait to try in this coming weekend ride. I was riding a motorcycle since 1980s. Thank you!
Bless you brother, what you have taught me with your videos is more than my entire riding experience. Keep spreading the good word. Four wheels move the body, two wheels move the soul - Amen. God bless.
thanks!

Best channel I've found. Straight to the point, I've gotten so much better, safer, much more comfortable and confident from these videos. Damn right subbed! Stay safe friends.
Thanks!
Recently back and Freund's commented on my body position .. as in you will get your head chopped off cornering..
Watched the videos on counter steer, slow turns, body position.. 5 hour car park session.. went back out and nothing but great positive comments and some of them from an advanced instructor.. many thanks for keeping my head where it should be..
You're welcome!
Hi! I follow many channels related to motorcycle riding, but I must admit that yours is by far the best! lots of useful tips! you know what you are talking about! thank you so much! don't stop making videos! from Italy!
It's not just the riding knowledge you possess, it's your whole approach to tutorials ...
In the words of Benjamin Franklin...
"Tell me and I forget.... teach me and I may remember.... but involve me and I learn....
Although you're not physically on the bike with me (here in Ireland) you're on with me when I practice. As a fire engineer and a trainer of people... your presentation methods are about the best.
Thank you!!
I have heard you say a couple of times in different video's that you have only been riding for 5 years.that may be fact but you are natural teacher and leader.
Thanks! I have been teaching since and mentoring for over 15 years; was a Marine for 11 years, was a Drill Instructor, Swim Instructor, Martial Arts Instructor..so been teaching people for a long time. Also have a bachelors in psychology, masters in human behavior and almost done with my 2nd masters in forensic science lol
Everything seemed to fit except the forensic science😎 Good to learn a lot of different things though.
I watched this and the following videos last Sunday before going for a ride. I already knew well about looking where you want to go (instead of where you don't want to go, i.e. target fixation), but maybe I wasn't putting it into practice well. These videos were great reminders as I had forgotten about turning my body too. I'm sure it helped my riding that day - I was more confident and even a bit quicker (without trying). Thanks for the videos!
That's awesome Peter!! Keep at it!!
Thanks for your videos, I am still trying to trust the bike not to slide from underneath 😁 but your videos are giving me some insight and save me a lot of mistakes.
I've been riding for 3 years now with no formal training. Turning my shoulders into the corner as you describe has been by far the biggest "ah ha" moment I've had riding. I found so many benefits to doing this. Love your videos mate. Keep them coming.
Get into courses!!
@@MotoJitsu High on the priority list for the first half of this year. Going to do a basic cornering and braking course and then look at CSS. Stay safe and keep the vids coming.
While i was out riding this weekend i was really paying attention to my head and upper body position in turns and i gotta say my cornering confidence was really improved and felt much more Comfortable in corners!
That's awesome Lee!! Keep at it!!
I'm so glad I found your channel. I used to be the guy that thought I was good enough, I didn't need any courses. Now I've watched almost all of your videos, some multiple times. My next step is learning brown belt, which I've found to be really hard with a 68.4" wheelbase lol.
Thanks! Keep practicing :)
Que video tan chingon amigo, gracias por subir este contenido, nunca lo había visto tan claro. Saludos desde Mexico! Corregiste varios errores que tengo en mi posición corporal
I viewed this yesterday and practiced today and was stunned at how well it works -thank you! 👍🏻👍🏿👍🏼👍🏾👍🏽
My only concern was hoping my head position didn’t look too proud. Proverbs 16:16-17...
But the way the bike responds to head position blew me away. Do you know if there is a specific word that describes the dynamics of how the energy(or whatever is happening) travels down into the bike?
thanks

I respect your method and I'm sure you've given it a lot of consideration. For me, a Head-Body-Bike sequence works more like a chain, one link following the next all the way down. Everything begins with the eyes and I like to lead with that. Not a challenge, just a comment. Thanks for really breaking this down and inspiring me to shut up and practice.
this isn't my method...just one example of body position that someone could use.

Thanks!!
This is just such a great video! ✨️ You are so funny too - I sure do just that googly eye thing, instead of turning my head enough! 😂 I will NEVER forget, that I got an arrow glued to my chin now! 😊 Thank you so much, Greg! ❤
This is seriously sensible and will avoid a lot of skids on crappy gravelly roads. Thanks.

I worked on slow stuff in a parking lot yesterday and my cornering improved drastically when I started pointing my chin. Turns got tighter and smoother once I added the good head turn. Awesome😎 A Resuscitated Rider
Nice!! :)
Love your videos. One of the best I’ve watched. Helped me a lot!! Will definitely recommend it to everyone who understands English. Thank you!!!
Motojitsu you're Like Saint.👍👍 Almost everyone talk about head but not upper body! 1,2,3👍👍👍You show perfectly on this video🙏. I practiced this > my riding comfort and confidance changed a lot. Thank you from🇹🇷🇹🇷
You’re welcome!
Dude, you are on point with your explanation.Loved the part when you point out mistakes of others w/facial expressions 🤣 lmao. Keep it real, your the best to moto community.
thanks!
Master Eddie, this video was amazing, I continue watching ALL your videos to learn, you've given me a lot of confidence and I always remember your advice.
Even when walking on the street, see a bike and I'm like, no head body position...
The wind mirror post stuff was great btw.
I'll remember that always!
Thanks!!
Thank you for all of your efforts and passion for safe riding. I’ve become a better rider practicing what you demonstrate in your videos. From basics to advance riding skills. You helped me overcome my fear of slow speed riding and U turns, I now look for opportunities to actually go through them and it feels great. Thanks again.
you're welcome!!

@@MotoJitsu just downloaded the App. Good stuff. Thank you.
thanks!! NOW GO PRACTICE! Start with White Belt
I finally had the lightbulb illuminate - shoulder turn initiates the actual controlled turn…thank you.
I went to California superbike school month ago but still I can learn better with you.
Thank you heaps
You're welcome! Share it with others :)
@@MotoJitsu Sure mate. everyone can use a quality training
Best bike lesson ever
😁👌🏼
Your explanations are in my opinion the best on the internet....many thanks....
Fast Eddie, always alert at your surroundings (at 4:50), no matter static or at speed, a biker must be a prepper at heart, a minuteman. “Only the paranoid survives”, Andy Grove.
ha!
Just wanted to let you know that this video has helped me out sooooo much. I feel a lot more confident in the twisties now, like a LOT more confident. The bikes position feels safe and smooth as butter when your body is in the correct position! Imagine that! :) Thanks man.
P.S. I ride a BMW F 750GS. I know you moved on from the GS, but I'm sure you can still appreciate it! ;)
Good to hear it :)
Just watched this again, great video! Thanks
You're welcome! MotoJitsu.com for my new app, books, merch, etc.!!!
Nice bro. Maybe there should be different segments. One for track/ sport bikes, and one for big cruisers. I mean I know about counter steering, counter balancing at very low speeds, although I've found that, on my bike, the counter balancing thing, doesnt make much difference. Tried it both ways. Turning my head, has made a lot of difference. Just saying brother, I'm not worried about dragging a knee. Lol. My bike weighs 712 pounds. 1312 cc. Its awesome, I love it. Long and lean with a 34° front factory fork. I've put 1500 miles on it, I'm very cautious, but have a blast. You have given me great tips, I use them every time I ride. But, I've never contorted my body that much. Your instructions are great, guess I'm just saying it's a lot to learn. Too much info can get confusing. I stay on nice backroads, practice everything u mention. And practice definitely helps. Have taken 3 courses, probably over 100 hours online instruction. It all helps, guess I'm just from the KISS school. Not the band, lol. Thanks man. You've been a blessing.
Body position is relevant for all bikes...no one said anything about dragging knee either but I think everyone should learn and practice. #2 Learning to do this provides a way to be comfortable being uncomfortable. It teaches you how to do something that’s challenging, which can be applied to any aspect of your life. Learning and practicing full body position gives you a lot of confidence, it teaches you what your bike is capable of, you learn various levels of grip with your tires, you’ll understand how leaning causes motorcycle to slow down, so you need to slightly increase throttle the more you lean in order to maintain your speed. This is a great way to practice your vision, staying relaxed, committing to a goal, build muscle memory-you’ll learn how the timing of when and how much you move your body makes a difference in how the bike handles. You’ll discover the limitations of yourself, where your fear threshold is, where to place your weight, what’s comfortable for you, etc. If you never learn how to do this or even attempt to, you’ll never understand the difficulty and benefits it provides. Many people simply have never tried, attended a class teaching body position, or practice therefore prematurely say it’s pointless-giving an opinion about something outside your experience is just ignorant. Go practice and see for yourself. Set up a 40ft diameter circle, wear full gear, and get to it. As a reminder, I think knee dragging or any movement with your lower body is 100% unnecessary on public roads. In fact, if you followed behind me on the street, even if we are going at a good pace, I hardly move my body at all, if anything just upper body.
@@MotoJitsu thanks for replying.
Many things to learn...takes a long time and lots of focused attention to what you’re doing. Trial and error with everything. Don’t be limited to the tools around your waste, learn as much as you can. Even things you say you’re not worried about. You don’t know what you don’t know and you won’t ever know the benefits of knee down or dirt riding or track days or whatever else unless you try. Don’t limit yourself by discarding things right off the bat.
You are amazing Sir. I cannot afford classes from where I come from nor do we have race tracks across and/or knowledgable instructors,but your videos(atleast from the street riding perspective) really helps as the region I come from is basically mountainous.
Awesome!! Keep watching, sharing the videos with others, and practicing!
I'm late seeing this and responding. Certain of your videos have helped me tremendously as I've returned to riding after 10-years. I'm older now and really want to learn techniques so I can enjoy riding more than before. ...wish I could come to CA and schedule even a half-day class with you. Thanks abundantly for your military service. Be well. Peace.
thanks!! Get into formal training!!!! MotoJitsu.com/courses
Thanks for watching ❤️ Share it with others 😁 MotoJitsu.com for my App, Books, Merch, Discounts, etc. 👍🏼
I wish I could hear what those people were saying about that guy talking to the post! Great video, think I'll go into the garage and practice :-)
hahahaha
I watch this video every time before I'm going to practice in the twisties, just like today. So helpfull, and always reminds me of important things. Thank you soo much FE 😊🙏
:) thanks
Where the head goes the body follows ... and in this case the bike also. Military/martial cross training.
Thank you 4 an excellent video.
thanks!
Thanks for watching & commenting! ❤️Check out MotoJitsu.com for the links to my app, books, merch, discounts, etc. 👍🏼

Thanks!!
Thank you! I only have a 125 cc motor scooter but I learned a lot from Moto-Jitsu
Right on!
Omg .... I see this all the time... you do it.... ought to pass this out with all sport bikes sold
Share with everyone! lol
Jitsu makes sense bro like they say were ever you look you go don't look at ground or that were you end up love your videos I'm a better rider now 🙌
Glad to hear!
I think of this video every time I ride my bike.
And I ride almost everyday.
:)
I do too.
Absolutely amazing and uber helpful as always. Many thanx brother !
Your videos are simply superb. Unmatched
Wow, you are a total entrepreneur. I am happy for you. Just ordered your book from Amazon and will buy a long sleeve Tshirt. I have never been fun of social media but as of today I am also following you on Instagram. You are worth my time and money. I am even happy to watch the adds without skipping. Thanks again !!!
thank you!!!
I like this quote from 1:10 - 1:21 'Body position',"No matter how cool you look, if you go wide at a corner, well your just going to look really cool going to the hospital because that's probably what's going to happen!" Note taken!!! :) Thanks Fast Eddie
You're welcome!
Your videos are extremely informative. Thank you!
Just what I wanted to see. Nicely explained. Thank you very much for this video.
You're welcome!
Perfect. Very very useful video. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Hi Fast Eddie, yes my new motorbike gear,it will definitely take a while to get used to,the boots are Excellent, there heavy,tough as steel & at the moment, my feet felt Hampered, so then I decided to just have some fun,I did experience 2-3 good leans ,probably 30 meteres diameter circle, its hard,your Pro Pro Eddie to do them leans,with knee scrapers
, "with such small circles"
Take care friend😊😊😊
:)
Hi MotoJitsu, I went for a practice session today & yes,I got the lean when I started & its megga hard,I could only manage 25 ° one thing I found Apsolutely 100% Excellent,pointing the chin ,that's what made me manage slight leaning & I left off & I need to get used to the new motorbike gear, especially the boots,they weigh a ton,
Head Body Bike,I did put it to the test & I was very satisfied, it worked 25 • only
😊How do you get so dam low Amazing😊75° - ish
WoW seriously, my Yamaha slows down a "lot" with the leaning,like you said, I had to increase my throttle well,but the Amazing thing :
"Point the Chin" I was only using 10-20 % of my vision,
Until today "Excellent" thank you friend 😊😊😊
glad it helped!
Thanks fast Eddie I got what you're saying it's been a min since I road a bike but your tips have helped me get too what I love to do god bless and be safe
You’re welcome!
Yea man I have a friend we call fast Eddie but thanks for ur info there are several mc channels that really don't need to be putting out the content they do cuz they are just wrong not tryin to bash on ppl but some of them talk a good game but the proof is in the pudding some others do illegal traffic maneuvers it's kinda dangerous if a inexperienced rider listens and watches them and believes what they are doing and saying any who thanks for the great and correct videos
You're welcome. Yup, many people have videos that are meant to entertain, not educate. And the ones that try to educate are like White Belts trying to teach other White Belts.
I needed videos like this one badly. Thank you very much, it´s going to be incredibly useful just like the rest of your content. Amazing. By the way, i love your patches, and now i want them... yeah badly.
You’re welcome!
Glad i found this channel, enjoying some great content. No fancy editing and music, just good info. Tnx!
Thanks!
wow this is such valuable information man... thank you very much! Greets from the Netherlands
Glad it was helpful!
Great reminder. Think we all get lazy and so forget to be more active. Thanks mate
You're welcome!
Such great advice and demonstration. Thanks!
thanks! :)
Keep up the good work with the videos I’m a nubee too , been riding scooters for 5 years now . I brought a ninja 650 like the bike but; rains a lot here so until summer I’ll ride more thanks for all your information, when I do ride stop in the parking lot n practice some of the technique you give and yes they work ! Am also a martial artist too I like the internal stuff tichi, Xingyi, bagaua, am to old for the external stuff. Starting riding at age 60 but am a young 60 tho,
thanks!
Another great vid lol.... I like this one especially as you really get in-depth on how your body position should be... Great vid
Thanks Peter!
Great job Fast Eddie. Thanks a lot. I hope that this material will significantly improve the technique and safety of motorcyclists on the roads. My, too. I hope that the sight of a hanging butt with a knee trying to touch the roadway (without proper upper body position) will be less frequent. Of course, viewers must practice and practice... to make it happen. In my opionon, one thing has been omitted. The position of the foot on pegs. Thanks.
Thank you! I made an entire video on foot placement already, didn't want to repeat it.
Hello, great tutorial Eddie. Just got my licence and while passing the riding test flawlessly in my country, I must wonder why do instructors not teach all of this :( They mostly concentrate on teaching traffic rules (signs, lights, obeying right of way etc). They dont teach us (newbie riders) how to effectively controll the bike. To be confident driving at low speeds, turning.
That's when these video tutorials step in and thanks for providing it.
BR and keep up the good work :)
P.S. You look like Michael Keaton, awesome :D
Because to get your license is the basics, there’s much more to learn
You're just an awesome teacher, thanks for sharing
Thanks!
Thanks mate - you have a great way of demystifying techniques !
You’re welcome!!
Thank you, will practice these advises today :)
Thank you very much Fast Eddie!
You are very welcome
This is so like swimming..... A lot of stuff from this and other videos is very close to the swimming techniques.
6:05 - just brilliant :D
Thanks!
You are such a good teacher. 😊
Thanks Karuna!
Very good explanation, and difference between low en high speed, Very good
Thank you Antoine!
just love this man.
your videos are really helpful. I wanna become a better rider so i started practicing your belt exercises. Im kinda new rider and i think I'm just using my head to do turns and corners, and "trying" to counterbalance when i do an u-turn but i think i might be doing it wrong. Is there a video where you explain this whole body position stuff, like when should we use it, how do we practice it etc?
I have lots of videos about body position :)
this is great! will practice it! thank you!
Get to it :)
Thanks, I'll start practicing this.
Thanks for the tips, very useful! Cheers
Welcome :)

Love your work.Stay safe :)
I have one! Search through!
Thanks a million again for our you advice
welcome
Great content, thanks for uploading.
Grate job mate ,
thanks! MotoJitsu.com for my new app, books, etc. :)
Great vid, can you do a quick vid on slow speed cornering body position (pushing the bike down)?
I made numerous videos on how to do slow speed maneuvers, go through and search!
Bro, much respect as you are clearly extremely talented. I've been a subscriber now for a few weeks and have personally practiced many of the exercises you have demonstrated. That being the case are you ever going to get back on the road and show some real world stuff. Any chance for some higher speed control braking, counter steering, anything like that? Also I would like to see some road/riding strategy for everyday real world riding. You are amazing don't get me wrong but you are redoing the same old stuff in parking lots. Show us some more advanced techniques for real everyday riding. Shut up and practice!!!!Love ya, ride safe...
I made 3 videos of me riding through the twisty turns just the other day.
pay attention while you insert your foot into your mouth
You make it easy to understand. Thanks!
You're welcome!
