Steve Cotter and Martial Arts explosiveness

[psychosaneify]

Not believeable at all. Terrible choreography, had high regard for cotter up until watching this. Now I'm kinda iffy about his martial atrs authority. Still great strength conditioning source though.

[mountainlegend1]

Nice throws!

[ChristofferEricsater]

A question to Steve, what is your opinion on Internal Chinese martial arts, like, Ba Gua Zhang QIng Yi, and Tai Ji Chuan, do you see any benefits in learning these for MMA fighting/self defence? The so called Qi powers in these just a myth? Have you seen or experinced any Qi? Are these arts unpractical for real fighting? I mean, like people say about Aikido , that it just doesn't work in reality.. What is your opinion and experience and benefits regarding these issues? Great work of KB, thanks!

[martynblackburn1977]

In the context of martial arts where do Kettlebells fit in?

[HwarangOfFaith]

@martynblackburn1977

Fitness, you retard.

[martynblackburn1977]

@HwarangOfFaith Yes, you are right.

[infinitycycle]

Steve Cotter you are a master. Thank you.

[skyfire1129]

The editing on this was... sad

[AnOddParadigm]

Wow. So basically he does a god awful throw, stares at the camera and flexes for an entire DVD?

[kagolko]

0:15 - brothers please tell me how do you call that thing he's holding? please let me know I'd like to buy one!

[djmorpheus87]

That is called a kettlebell. They are a hell of an investment.

[kagolko]

thank you brother. I really appreciate your feedback. I'll ask santa for one! lol are you doing these exercises your self?

[kalonjikalonji]

@kagolko kettlebell :)

[veggiefella]

People usually mock what they do not know or have very little information of. They are also accustomed to doing so while sitting on the couch with a family sized bag of chips. Try doing some research about the subject before you open your mouth and criticize, by they way, you wouldn't have the eggs to do it in person.

[zodawg0079]

Ahhhh the magical land of youtube...where everyone is bigger, better, tougher, stronger, and faster than everyone else at everything.

[235128hdhdjh]

its definitely no fake. there are many guys who can do this.

but he has a good sense of timing and structure of his body. its nice to see

[tarsonis10]

your a true badass man - i know how hard it to train like that

[crawleymang]

Why don't people who disagree just go see him in person.

Or better yet, ask for a match.

[paolo27th]

If he`s under 80kg I`ll take him any time.

[mWf57]

Whats your name?

[Dakero]

Do you know what a demonstration is? Or a drill? Are you fucking retarded? Do you actually think that he's showing this video to show off that that dude showed up at his place and he kicked his ass? Kill yourself.

[muft]

what a bad shoulder throw, he's headweight had already left his projection centerpoint of gravity

[SeijiiNakamaru]

I think he was going for a hip throw. If it was supposed to be a shoulder throw, then I agree.

[mdub2000]

not aikido he's into bagua and xing yi,

[kornhead8]

akido

[zagortriplex]

Perhaps, but I think Ju Jutsu.

[IceTTom]

Yea... if it were only that easy

[KaseyAkira2]

Yea I know, its easy to look like an expert when your partner knows EXACTLY what to do lol!!! Try that with someone who's actually trying to hurt you and hasn't rehearsed it hundreds of times before it was put on youtube.

[mWf57]

0 frame of reference from you.

[acieh804]

hes showing how the kb exercises develop functional strength

[brujeria18]

... wtf did that teach us?

[JDBoelter]

It makes a lot more sense in the context of his "Full Kontact 2" DVD; essentially he shows the connection between the kind of core strength you develop from seemingly weird exercises like the 'bent press' and actual martial arts applications.

[KaseyAkira2]

Right, except the weird, made up, "special" exercises people think up of to sell DVDs and whatnot simply are not superior to conventional exercises. Squats, deadlifts, and overhead presses all develop the core muscles to the maximum extent possible, since the core can and will fail during these movements, causing you to reach failure before the prime mover is exhausted, and which causes the core to adapt. You can get silly with lots of cutesy moves, but you cant beat whats best!

[regalsd]

Made up? Snatchs, windmills, and other "special" exercises have been around for hundreds of years. Squats, DLs, and overhead presses are all part of Steve Cotter's workouts too. I do agree this video clip is silly.
