karate for beginners lesson 1

[RepDaVille7400hio]

A way to work on your focusing, you have to FEEL it, BE confident in yourself about what you are doing and don't have NO doubt in yourself that you can do it!!!

[kalee225]

[TheSillyFan]

What if someone kicks you in the nuts when you are in the stance?

[kriitiu]

When i punch and turn my other hand fast, my feets and body mooves so i loose the control, you know what i should do?

[Fusi4n]

[Uzbekdenis2001]

[windfirestorm]

[xxanieldeproxx]

[The1FreestyleKaiser]

thanks man

[owen09az]

thx for the help



[Artycelebrities]

OK iam a girl... But i like Karate.. i wish to ave lessions from you here.. um.. when you kick can you do it with a nother thing instead of the black thing you kicked ?

[salad5150]

@Artycelebrities People practice karate using Katas or forms, not just against heavy bags. Seishin73 you tube channel shows the forms very well. Start with the ones that have Heian in the name, then bassai, tekki shodan, then Kanku-dai. Karatecosaintmarg shows videos of how to use the moves in the kata in real life. You'll be amazed !!

[TheSuperever54]

thumps up if you have heard of task karate

[stuccodavid]

I think that was a great video for us beginners. Please, keep up the good work.

Thank you very much for sharing your skills..... 

[hitme56789]

XD really? hahahaha come on really???

[mrthebillman]

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA

McDojo

[xcokkijar]

Thnx!

[Blackberryboy24]

LOL this guy looks like a comedian!

[TheEshiiAble]

I think that you explained everything very good. I'm from Sweden and I think that its really cool that you can teach something all over the world! :D

[TheCouzinz]

horsetits lol does sound like horse stance if you say it fast

[TheCouzinz]

1.kung fu isnt better all martial arts have equal value it is an opinun and its not karate it kenpo 4.0 the difference between that and jeff speakmans 5.0 kenpo is that 5.0 involves a mix between kenpo and mma fighting and used for self defence and if you guys really wanna learn a martial art go take a class

[Nonkosher]

@TheCouzinz i wont say Wushu is in fact the best martial art, it all depends on the individual with their understanding and skill. however, Wushu gives you a better workout and wider range of skill. its the only martial art i know of that actively trains students in gymnast maneuvers as well as martial applications. this allows you with training to combine the two and eventually give you better ability to recover or escape from opponents and counter them in return.

[Tidiify]

Hi, I have been practicing my kicks and I think I'm going nowhere. I'm not sure if my force is strong enough. I have no punching bag or anything I could practice on. How can I know if my kicks are getting any better or not?

[prettyninjashadow]

What can I do to increase my balance, because sometimes kicks just result in me falling flat on my back or face ?

[prettyninjashadow]

1 lift your knee, 2 kick, 3 bring your knee back, 4 put your foot down. It's easy to think of it like dance move 1,2,3,4.

[MrNohatin]

karate sucks kung fu rules !!!!

[davidhudgel]

@MrNohatin how many katrate fights u won lol

[Xboxskaterlass]

should i try to control by breathing every time i do exercise, or just do breathing exercises whenever possible? this vid was very intresting and helpfull. thank you.

[farouthall011]

@SayuriSuzumiya98 it all depends on how gud u r and if u r really committed

[SayuriSuzumiya98]

ok i am a brown belt and my freind is a black belt and we started doing karate at the same time why is that is it cuz am a girl and he is a boy or is it cuz i am younger and he is older in 1 year? T-T i wanna beat him someday~

[786muzy]

i can do karate even though i have not been karate lessons

mudssir

[DantheManO36O]

who needs to pay for karate when i can just learn from watching this

[Nickydeaf]

why in lesson why not in lesson and show in fast but not slow

[20000nikhs]

i m 24 now, can I learn karate now?

[xexoristo]

Thanks



[MyNameIsJDLaw]

how do you know if you are doing the horse stance perfectly and i am having trouble back kicks i am not doing it high as you at all.

[joeschmo10155]

thanks for thehelp ive not gone to a karate lesson yet but when i do i wanted to know little bit to start me off and you really helped thanks :)

[joeschmo10155]

wax on wax off :D

[zenislevas]

Im starting here, its kinda hard get orientation ,when hitting ,and blocking at same tame.

[skaterboii882]

yea ill keep practicing

[skaterboii882]

im kinda slow on blocking and when i get mad i start to lose focus what can i do to help that

[shodan1197]

@skaterboii882 your focus needs more focus:) practice more and your blocks will get faster try not to get mad work on your temper

[lguitarn]

@shodan1197 dhahah mister han

[shinobi1kenobi75]

@skaterboii882 Train harder. Be playful and when you get frustrated, smile wickedly. It is good for your mindset and unsettling to your opponent.

[MarcyLittleNinja123]

@skaterboii882 do some medititating to help with the fustration, then work on your focus, practice makes perfect, when you think about it, even black belts had these problems, its a challenge and your determination and will power to succeed will help you through it.

[prettyninjashadow]

@skaterboii882

Try and get rid of all the anger before you start, or use the anger to your advantage. Me, when I get mad, I always picture what or who made me mad to be right in front of me when I do this. You can try that if you want.

[byProVidmaker]

DID YOU REALLY CALL IT HORSETITS!?!?

[soccerman100050]

To anyone who does traditional karate this painful to watch to say the least... 

[thecrown871]

good interesting video i like to ask you shodan1197 if i listen to my kind music rock music can it help me train or push myself harder or help to get my training to the whole new level in karate or any other martial arts training and the second question i like to ask is my weakness is keeping balance how to improve my balance and how often do i need to work on it to get better and improve on my balance thanks

[shodan1197]

@thecrown871 music could be a good motivater like when hitting the punching bag or doing katas,

for balance try kicking with one leg without putting it down or punching and blocking on one leg. a balancing beam we made one for my students it is great

[Jo3y453]

now i can beat my bully too lolzz

[Jo3y453]

does your feet hurt when u kick somebody??

[Iranengel]

THX for the Video I injoyed learning from for ^^

[MultiAriana101]

Thank u so much.

[igo0di]

[thewillfulldreamer]

@igo0di Me too.

[blahtotheblahblah]

His shoulders are not that wide...

[smackroscoe]

Lame. Judo is where it's at.

[TheRushingWind]

@smackroscoe yeah, that works brilliantly when someone's wearing a flimsy T-shirt (or not top on a hot day). Spot the sarcasm

[smackroscoe]

@TheRushingWind

HA! What a tool you are if you think lack of a shirt is going to stop a Judoka from hitting somebody with the earth. And furthermore, where other than a beach do people walk around topless? (laughing & laughing)

[TheRushingWind]

@smackroscoe typical blind-faith response. First off, that would make you cowardly, as would using any other weapon. Second, you do not get taught that in judo. Third, grow up. How old are you, 5?

[smackroscoe]

@TheRushingWind

Cowardly? LOL!!!! How hi-lariously naive you are. You think that when I o-soto gari someone outside of class it's important to fight fair? Keep practicing your horse stance (laughing & laughing)

[TheRushingWind]

@smackroscoe 1. horse stance? 2. I did judo, so I know of it's benefits and limitations - you seem to want to refuse to accept it has any limitations, which could be your downfall. 3. Judo is for self-defence - it's called 'the gentle way' for a reason. Not for unfair fights - in which case YOU would become the attacker who deserved to be floored.

[lilddonovandark]

i remember i took a tawekwondoe first time i hated it second time i enjoyed it but my mom didnt get me a uniform so i couldnt come and now i wana do martial arts again and actualy do it and not quit

[howardking19]

ok wat do you do wen u can barely pick up one of your legs

[shodan1197]

@howardking19 use low kicks to the knee and use your hands more

[Tr1b3ca]

@howardking19 Get a ride back to school and work on your spelling.

[akiranichole]

thanks i now how 2 fight now

[TimeGalaxy]

i had learned karate up to yellow belt level then i stopped, i felt that i am not fit to karate, my intructor said, i need to do sports first to help me fit in karate.

[MuliAlMansour]

[Babagula89]

[Ronin6575]

[bluetube147]

[ringodark]

[2001calais]

ya



[KissyKate101]

hey i know your a black belt and all but martial artist to martial artist when your in your horse riding stance your arms are too low they need to be positioned higher around your chest height so you can place more power behind your strike please dont take this offensively i know your a higher belt than i am just try and keep that in mind

[ENGLISHMOVIESFULL]

@shodan1197 as far as i know,Karate is from Japan n Kung fu is Chinese style of warfare(or martial art).i d b grateful to u Sir if u can just tell me what r the basic differences between these 2 arts.i had heard of many more such as Teakwondo,Judo etc. what r the very basic elements which u see first to differentiate between these. Thanking You.

[demonjack123]

@ENGLISHMOVIESFULL History lesson time shortened! Karate originates from Okinawa The country before it was invaded and taken by Japan. Okinawa always did trades with China and between each trade they would trade martial art skills and teach one another techniques. In a sense Kung-Fu helped form the groundwork for Okinawa Style Martial arts (Can't remember it's original name). When Japan and the Samurai took over they renamed it to Karate to be more Japan friendly in a way.

[kaibunkage]

are you bowing to me

[riley161101]

What kind of belt are u

[100Shadowgirl]

ok so iwant to be sorta like a ninja. but like not for halloween or pranks i mean so if there's a robber in the house and i see him and he hasn't seen me yet how can i beat him like iv made some real nunchuks that work? Also can u make a video on how to be a ninja but not with the weapons just with the most needed karate moves? Thumbs up if he should do this!

[asian4400]

how long does it take to master all those simple steps?

[supersassy97]

stupid

[moetjewa451]

doesn't your arm break if you stretch your arm completely?

[teachur]

@moetjewa451 Well, so far, after over 40 years of punching with my arm fully extended, I have yet to break my arm (or anything else in training). However, beginners should keep a tight fist, which tightens the muscles of the forearm up past the elbow, strengthening it. ALWAYS do techniques slowly at first, only adding speed and power as you gain control and preciseness. GM Chuck Blackburn (check out my site at chuckblackburnDOTorg)

[corvanjer]

@teachur Look up hyper-extending. That's what he was talking about, hyper extending any ligament/joint/muscle is severely dangerous.

[teachur]

@corvanjer Thanx for pointing this out. Yes, hyperextending ANY joint can be anything from just painful to being permanent damage. That's why I again stress a tight hand to do any hand move: block, punch, chop, etc. One of the easiest examples is the first move taught in very traditional schools--the low block. If done with power but no control, hyperextension is almost guaranteed,therefore, is always taught slowly and with emphasis on a tight fist. "Easy does it "until you have stronger joints.

[ekb552]

to do the front kick does you leg have to be straight or can it be slightly bent?

[MrReptile69]

you need some glucose u sound like you are going to faint or fall asleep!

[Davyjones274]

i don't like having a neutral stance. isn't it easier to get hit? I primarily lead with my left foot (being right handed)

[CaptainGerBear]

You got some broad shoulders.

[Johnny08000bcn]

It is for beginners, or he is the beginner?

[vcva2000]

the master isn't hot

[shoayebhossain]

[dxlyrix]

[lp4everockzzz]

uhm sir, is this really the first thing that should be learnd? because when i was in my kindergarden i'm practicing karate, and my master is teaching us to do some stretching to improve our flexibility and the height of our kicks. like splitting, doing some hindu push ups.

[zoroark983]

[logamemaster]

My dream is learning about Karate. But we dont have money to put me in Karate so I'm watching ur videos.And they r helping me to learn.Please put more videos about Karate.

[Mikepeterslovealways]

[TheSolidJon]

[sweetstikythang1]

[roohan1991]

[TaiSchenker]

Thanks for this! I haven't yet watched the others, but will do so after practicing the moves shown in this video. *bow*

[L1LSAVAG3JW]

[iNSaNiTyKrew]

@brigalhodgdon nija?? (nigga) don't u mean ninja?? LOLzzz

[brigalhodgdon]

@iNSaNiTyKrew yeah i i suck at spelling

[nayabtalib]

i really like this video.its awsome. i was finding martial art center here but video makes my work easier....... i can learnn by siting home, and these trainings are really really good

[RockyGNR]

how much practice a day you have to do ?

[Booboo201999a]

If you do learn any kind of marshal arts you must practice your strikes an blocks everyday. The more you practice the foster you become and you will also become more stretchable. Just like if your walking home from where an someone is massing you and put you into a situation that you don't want to be in, your body will get itself ready for a fight if you like or not.

[ghostman454]

cool i need some self defense stuff dont need it but want it i just want to be ready before i enter karate classes
