karate do for beginners mawashi geri

[robertvoice]

No no no no! Bad way of doing this kick. The standing fit must rotate out to get the hip rotation. With no hip the kick won't have any power. :s Karate.... -.-' yuckkk

[1990smithers]

maybe tell us how you did it, instead of just performing it, especially if its for begginers

[Carlosanormal]

the kick is alright but keep the guard up and land in the first position after throwing the kick

[Serban3di]

the kick is superb ,10 ,the stance is fucked up ,you dont rrly do a mawashi in the stance that he is using ,my gues is that he is using fudo dachi ,but he isnt using that stance corect ,and it's not cocutsu shuto ,and i saw 1 tehnique with zencutsu dachi ,that was mirific ,when he was in bunkay ,and man dont throw your guard down ,youre gonna be fucked up in kumite or in a real situation .

And by the way your kick is good ,try do have a good position and you'l deserve that black belt .

[ninjauric]

so is this roundhouse kick hitting with the instep of the leg or the ball of the foot?

[UndeadTurk]

My favourite kick!

By the way, I graded today and I am now 1st Kyu! ^^

Obviously 23 people can't be bothered to do it.

[MrDdddddd1]

r we supposed to learn from this? i should have known they wouldnt teach for free

[aquin520]

he kind of telegraphs it. Its better to throw is like a front kick then pivot on the balancing foot to arch the kick like a mawashi geri to disguise it more. Just as powerful and hidden more from the opponents eyes.

[dylloop]

he is bringing his foot up at a 45 degree angle which lessens the impact he should come up virtically and then horizontaly so it is direct

[Andersweltler]

The movement of the feet is excellent, but my sensei would kill me, if I threw out my hands like he does

[bushidoartss]

@Andersweltler you guys need to learn some muay thai kicks this is bulshit

[MegaMightyMe]

Yes, in Kyokushin one cannot use tsukis to attack the enemy in the head but one nice counter mawashi geri could K.O. him for he does not protect his head at all...

[DonAdamec]

his hands doesn't protect his head, he put them out. when he kicks a natural tsuki could knock him out

[Fireforce13]

nice mawa dude i am from shoko-ryu from finland

[GTFORDMAN]

this kick is a B!tch to learn!

[molotov2122]

@GTFORDMAN it may be tough to learn but when you do you realize it was worth it.. took me 4 months to learn it..

[WildMango122]

@GTFORDMAN No it Isnt



[extreme100rpd]

that´s slow. you should train your agility first.

[dominoc5]

rofl... maybe it is the idea that you could see the kick -_-

[3K8FLASH]

can you give me tips on how to kick high i can kick over my head hight but my feet haas to bend. pleas and if u have another tip how can i do splits..? i need to learn it.

[jessekarate08]

this is old fasion karate you should check out kempo thats what i do and learn to do the splits if you want a higher kick

[pomfrit93]

You need to streatch your foot more out, so it gets like a straight line.. So you wont get any injurys in your toes when youre kicking

[Urbanbarkboat]

He i kicking with kushi, the foot is suppose to look like that :)

[caceve00]

there are other better videos that have jodan mawashi geri, I am only a 8th kyu in Goju Ryu and i see mistakes in his technique. he should straighten his feet on his stances and he should keep his center foward not leaning back.

[DippShits]

His biggest mistake is trying to look like Tom Selleck of 'Magnum, P.I.' fame...

[caceve00]

LOL! so true

[jessekarate08]

i like kempo Goju Ryu better

[Guard655]

Mawashi geri=Round house kick?

Plz reply.

[crazy4animation679]

yep

[caceve00]

according to my sensei, it is more of a half round house because the foot only pivots about 90 degrees or less, that being said there are two styles of mawashi geri. the first is in the video the second one is where the pivoting foot pivots a full 180 degrees and has much more reach.

[DippShits]

Yes, that is correct.

[100ProcentsGameR]

Ura Mawashi geri = roundhouse IF WE THINK ON SAME ONE

[qawsedman12]

Lol,Borat-moustache

[housecalldoctor]

get a life. he's showing you how to do it

[e12019]

lol, his moustache...

[elfofdeath1]

davido shut the f up man hes showing the techniek so other people can practise this at home.

[angeldanny87]

He's showing the technique so that other people can practice karate, cause this woulnd't work in a self-defence situation, and most unlikely in combat, unless your opponent is wide open!

[DaViDVoGuEkumite455]

this guy dont know how bad he is,he is very slow

[sonicsupa99]

well duh this is a video for begginers fool he has to go slow to demonstrate that to us

[Ki11aser]

i love karate....but i need to learn ho to hit mowashi geri from behind..i know how but i cant get my leg back..lol..i can get my left leg back but right i cant..

[sbzvln]

Lol, the attacked guy just has to do a combo break.

[billysharp15]

lol he does actually ur right

[dsiminet]

Well done

[cjsalva]

all whrong he didnt swing from the back

[AussieBassist]

I was going to tell you to shut up originally, but then I watched it again and your kinda right! Its not the best... Its almost a hybrid mae mawashi. It sweeps though, then turns sideways rather than being cocked out right at the start of the move. Good spotting.

[Amibop]

Only thing I don't like about this technique is that it's slower than say... a sidekick or front kick. You have to have an opponent off balance or be fighting a guy with NO defense to be able to do real damage with this kick. It's a good kick, but I just don't like it so much....

[LUDWIKVAN69]

Hahahaha I saw the exactly moment when I could K.O.

[power163]

Actually the way he does the mawashi geri is the style used in kihon and its the classic style too. In kumite your feet are supposed to be straight while doing the kick.

[guiltybystander77]

ive never really been comfortable kicking with the ball of my foot...

i don't really see the use.

[leavemealone2006]

It uses a smaller striking surface so is more damaging (you don't have to kick as hard to do the same amount of damage). It also penetrates further so you can possibly still strike past a block. It is harder to use though and I have a lot of trouble pulling my toes back far enough.

[wolfmoonwatcher]

it hurts...they use it quite a bit in savate

[guiltybystander77]

they use SHOES in savate. and they DON'T kick with the ball, the use a hard plastic toecap and kick with the toe. kicking with the ball (barefoot) has always made me a little scared that im gonna break a toe (done it before, now THAT hurts).ive always done it with low shin/ high instep.

[wolfmoonwatcher]

yes like a kick using the ball of the foot would never be part of a savate curriculum.

[adrianalimalover]

not good he lets his right hand a little bit down

[Ravenstalk]

What karate is this? Shotokan?

[maxxjanitaa]

I train Kyokushin karate but... we learn to keep our feet straight, not like this guy does... :o

Osu!

[Smiskad]

you can do it both ways, there's chosuku and there's haisoku. Jodan mawashi geri in basic is haisoku but chosuku is as correct as that.

Osu!

[rosswoof]

? I assume your talking from a training point of view, where the control should be there?

The reality is karate techniques can be shockingly destructive. Some train as a way for spiritual development while others train for the sport arena... others still, practice karate as a fighting art for defence. The dojo I witnessed was one of the last.

[rosswoof]

Actually I've witnessed two guys sparring quite heavily and one broke his shin against the others unside block whilst doing a mawashigeri. It was a messy break and horrible sight!

[learnben]

for good lesson go to learnkarate(DOT)com

[flipchigly]

Rosswoof, thanks. Really appreciate your intelligent and imformative reply! Arigato! (hope it's spelt right lol)

[flipchigly]

just say 'hai' which is Japanese for yes. Osu, is always pronounced 'ooos' in the west whic translates as 'heart' and drives the Japenese nuts due to its irrelevance!

[rosswoof]

for a better translation and definition see my response to MajorKreissack88. When I lived in Japan it didn't drive people nuts, they used it too. However I think in the west it is over used and as you have pointed out - miss understood.

[tonywoody6969]

osu means "i acknolegde"

[Nemesis5215]

Sure... block a Mawashi geri with your arm...

That would work in a real fight...

[Hotora86]

it's not always about jodan, man. beginners should start with chuudan

[MajorKreissack88]

What does that OSU thing mean?

[rosswoof]

OSS! Is the correct sound. It's written with 2 Japanese kanji which mean to 'suppress' and 'persevere'. It should be taken with the attitude of suppressing pain/fatigue etc and pushing on regardless. In Japanese martial arts it is often repeated enthusiastically and its most likely source is from the Navy; a bit like the marines 'hoo har' expression (or something similar I think). It is also used as a informal greet in the dojo.

[jeibo]

Wouldn't it be the other way around, I think Karate and any other kind of Martial Art was before the navy even existed, I would say that the Navy's "Ooh Rah" it's source is the Martial arts.. After all it's also part of the Japanese language, Hosu(Say it without the H I think) also means Hi, you can only say that to a friend because it's very informal, at least that's the way I understood it..

[jeibo]

But since you've been to Japan I guess you're right about the whole yelling: "Oss" although in that one year I did Karate I was told that you say it to put mroe power in your blows/kicks, if you scream you put more power in it then when you do not scream and hold in your breath..

[rosswoof]

You are correct that 'breathing out' increases striking power by about 75% compared to holding your breath. Thus a shout or 'kiai' forces you to expell air very quickly. Actually using a sound like OSS though would not be as effective as say "AAAYYYEE" because the former requires you to close the mouth to pronounce the SS sound. ..... What drives me crazy is when teachers get their class to shout "KI-AI" it's as rediculous as screaming "SHOUT" or even more literally "SPIRITED HARMONY"

[rosswoof]

No OSS doesn't seem to be as old as the martial arts and so the navy is a more feasible source. (The Japanese Navy that is). In considering "OOH RAH" of American usage (and Hoaah) it stems from about 1953 so no martial art influence there; beside which America has no cultural martial art to speak of prior to early modern warfare. OSS can also be used as an informal greet too amongst peers.

[noordside44]

one leg thats not very good

[whathuhwhere]

now that's what i call a moustache!

[urkingod]

I think his stances are too wide before and after excution I could go low kick to inside of his leg easy to get him off balance. OSU!
