Karate Speed Training - Advanced Candle Flame Punch

[MrKenmaru]

u should hit the candle at ur should height, not like this.

[ThaCalvin]

37 people break their fingers by hitting the table.

[777brandonb]

do it in short sleeves and make it less easy, the dobuk creates an air compression type system around your arm. So, do it without the sleeves and you will get better results from this sort of training. Just my opinion.

[Acceqt]

idiot

[radybt]

If this is a SPEED traning... then we taekwon-do guys with blow a mile of candles :D

[BeothukRuins]

All sleeves.

[OoA9oO]

you should light from the back.

cool tho

[LAHrebirth]

for real self defence you need to be punch enough to overcome the opponents reaction time otherwise its all a waste of time if they can just dodge your punch or kick

[EcuadorianFlagShip]

I already explained this on the first video, please read my comment there, bu as I said there, you are too close. You need to double the distance the fifth candle was before reaching the first part on your way to mastership. Once you you can do that at eight long steps (without sleeves as th generate wind force thought motion) you can call it succes.

[ronin2723]

do it without the sleeves.

[Lusen136]

try doing it without that sleeve... it will probably get alot harder i'd imagine:/

[MrTomMasterVideos]

lol the suit does the most of the work

[Fyeagass16]

Go Go Power Rangers!!!

[HAWAIIR19]

Its not his punch that's blowing the candles off, its his suit when moving it fast towards those candles......

[armadyllah]

I was hoping that he would accidentally punch the table.

[vtech25416]

I see you can put the candles out but can you light them again without the lighter...hmmmmm HA just kidding great job.

[MrNoodlegirl]

I can't even keep the candles up...they keep falling down before I even try!

Especially the long maroon kind with tow different heights--they NEVER STAY STILL!

But it's very cool...I tried with the small round ones and it worked...once........

[simonli43]

tell you the truth its kinds really easy and that punch wasnt fast at all... but im not questioning how good you are as a martial artist but im just saying a little kid could blow out three.

[trosanelli]

@simonli43 - The more I look at the title, the more I think calling it speed training is inaccurate. It should be called precision or accuracy training, because that's all it is. You're right it's easy.

[simonli43]

@trosanelli or maybe like concentration or location training or velocity forms to develope more powerful punches?

[Atonfrc]

@simonli43 For me, looking at the face of him, he is blowing together with the punch. What is extinguish the fire is his breath and not his speed of punch.

[DrMadolite]

@simonli43 Have you actually seen an average kid being able to do this? It's not as easy as it looks like. While it's not too hard to blow out 1 or 2 candles with airbending, but you still need to try a few times to get the feel for it and this guy is also also blowing out 5 candles in a row.

I think it's pretty nice. Not exactly the hardest thing to achieve as a black belt, but a nice feat nonetheless.

[simonli43]

@DrMadolite yes my cousin did i mean maybe she might of did it wrong but the candle did went out but just to get it straight im not questioning his martial arts skills what i mean is that this particular activity does not really demonstrate your knowledge of martial arts!

[DrMadolite]

@simonli43 Neither does 2-finger pushups or board breaking either. But meh, nevermind I'm being silly now hehe. Call it the Youtube fever ^.^

[simonli43]

@DrMadolite well yes 2 finger push ups show that you are in good shape weather then a candle blow out many can do. Youtube fever for me too! haha

[VHjykfUuYu]

do you know how much air you actually move with your sleeves? it's harder sleeveless

[AlexMasterKombat]

50%fake 50%real

[KitchenerBombSquad]

isnt it kinda the air pocket of your gi cuffs that puts them out if anything?

[rwg3usmc]

Could you please post a video with you doing this without the uniform on? Just as a little reassurance to those who don't quite get it.

[TheRick16v]

Air from mouth blows the candles one wise master said once.. next time, take off the kimono and stop blowing from the mouth. I'd like to see what happens then with all that Ki energy.

[SuperGame0]

1:11 i see a troll face in the candle

[jun0651]

anyone can do that i will believe in you if you taking off your kimuno and add more candles.

[richardherrera321]

@Willenskraftz they are just insecure because they cant do it and it is easier to post a message anyway.

[Willenskraftz]

for those of you who said he blew it out .... 1. you suppose to exhale when you punch ... 2. the 'ssss' exhale is not strong enough to blow a candle out at that distance ... go ahead, light a candle and try to go 'ssssssssss' as hard as you can at that distance .... so plz stop being a smartass and just be open minded and enjoy the video

[K4saii]

id try it without a GI! It would be alot better, here, ill try it and post a response : ]

[IkkenhisatsuAUT]

Try it without the Karate-Gi and then have a look again ... the most air is produced from there!!! :-D

[chirichimi]

@trosanelli. I'm not trying to be hater or whatever, but try to punch the candles withut your gi or using short sleeve. it a lot harder

[thecodermxx]

I also can blow them with my mouth, you know!?

[eromigor]

holy crap..is that thing real?

[eisbombenhagel]

That's a good karate prank! Thanks for sharing! :)

[TheVeXMusic]

The guy in the video should try it without blowing in the candles! FAIL

[stallion1712]

OSU.

[radikaze]

try it without gi ;)

[eisbombenhagel]

@radikaze He should try it without blowing! Look closely... ;)

[DagenhamGilly]

This is rubbish, Id woudl rather hit a makiwara...also if your going to put yourself on You Tube...iron you gi.

[DawgFL]

@DagenhamGilly Disrespectful. Obviously you are not a martial artist. True martial artists respect others.

[zintars1]

try to do this with no upper body clothes whithout sleeves lets see if he can do it with naked arms !

[DawgFL]

@zintars1 He already has done that... he has a video on it.

[asianstrength]

flame don't hit back

[DawgFL]

@asianstrength Really? Is that true? I can't believe this... Thank you for helping me see the light. I understand now.

[asianstrength]

@DawgFL you're welcome kid

[daligeris]

hahahahahahahahahahaha!!!he is blowing with kya the candels!!!!!!ahahhahahaha

[hir0shi]

try to do it without karate gi (uniform)

[carcha6669]

Don´t blow the candles man.

[djmoscow]

someone behind him with an airzooka HAHA only joking! very good

[Rizdgrt]

just open Karate-Gi and wear a casual dress.........den upload a video.......u hypocrit :X

[lolMagaki]

my dog can do it too !

[MultiSkateLover]

hold space. Your welocme ;)

[radudan25]

it helps you to sharpen you punch and get more speed or else you won't be able to do it

[MrDrgrind]

wait this is a drill wut does it teach? or is it just for fun

[TheSpth]

1mn 20 à 1mn 40 et surtout à la fin on peut voir et entendre qu'il souffle sur les bougies. rien que pour cela il ne mérite pas sa ceinture noir de karaté. et en tour de magie c'est raté.

[dannymawds]

Not being funny but that does not look hard to accomplish.. not to mention the Gi creates enough windage to blow out the candles lol

[xelauyu]

being able to put out the candles, does it actually mean your punch is faster? does this help improvement?

[trosanelli]

@fmakicks - Rude comment - Sorry Dude, you've been blocked and deleted!

[rjohns415]

has no one caught on to this. Even with his one candle punch and his response video you can clearly see in both and hear in this one that he is blowing the candle out. he whips his GI which hides the sound. look at his mouth in all of them. You're a fraud and you probably got that black belt at karate R us

[TheNanoNinja]

@rjohns415 It's part of the karate breathing technique.

I have seen some instructors do this from about 2 feet from a candle. It get really interesting when several candles are involved and they ask you to pick which ones and how many you want punched out.

[Thelastpromoter]

@r3tardedk1d youre not wrong, but hip movement isnt needed. Its just wasted energy if all your doing is blowing out candles. Put more emphisis in the snap at the end and the force generated from your back and shoulders. "twich muscles". This guy should be able to drop 8+ with those sleeves. Im sure he borrowed the belt.

[mikehunt2013]

@Thelastpromoter your hip movement is one of the most important things in jka shotokan karate, without hip movement you are just throwing your hand out there but with the hip you are using you body, it also looks better, its a stronger punch, you get move distance and keima (sorry about the spelling) you are told to train a punch with you hip these methods have been passed down for generations and if you think this is useless train some other art... not using you hip is just the lazy way out...

[crewifyable]

try doing it without your karate suit, NO SLEEVES!!! ITS HARDER XD

[r3tardedk1d]

pointless practice if you perform the hit like that. Your grip, your whole arm must be loose until the last moment. Also loose and dynamic movement of the hips is required. Yet another thing, when learning something try learning it the correct way, because unlearning the wrong way is way more difficult than learning the right way. There is lots more to be add in such "speed training".

[simonmafy]

Take off your gi then try it. Also punch thru an 8 by 11 piece of paper hung by a thread. Then I'll say you're badass.

[me2237247]

fail



[Humblemynd]

try punching through a paper hung from a single piece of tread on one side much harder

[HxMxOx]

Candles don't hit back  ;o)

[TooLEEzy]

Why wont you try bigger flames thatd be cool.

[TooLEEzy]

Your sleave is what it is.

[rayonedesign99]

HAPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[lucasfun100]

don't open your Mouth dude haha

[Zetek04]

I'd be more then willing to trade a punch in the stomach.

[trosanelli]

@Zetek04 - HaHa! We have plenty of students that would love to trade punches with you!

[OpurumD]

Impressive.

[B0MBALI9]

I totaly like this but how is this going to make me faster?

[gigglefiction]

No Offence but of course you can punch those small candles and with your Karate shirt, Try bigger candles,(Like in your other video) and with no sleeve just you and and candle wish you luck :)

[solnegrolunaroja]

Whoever criticize this training should be able to receive a punch in the stomach without harm. If they think it's useless, let's see if hurts. I can do it with one candle at 15 cm with a frontal kick, if somebody thinks a punch it's not enough.

[trosanelli]

@solnegrolunaroja - Great idea! I'll try it out. I bet a Yoko Geri Kekomi, side thrust kick, would be challenging.

[solnegrolunaroja]

@trosanelli XD Good answer!

[jerkinswagstillalive]

@solnegrolunaroja i can do it from 5 inches away, and im only 15

[rojas117]

awww no fair! long sleeves = hax

[crazyfuckerguy]

dude, osu! karate practioner here as well. Tried this pratice myself as well, found it quite useless for me.

I tried it like you with my gi on, took out 9 candles with ease. Tried it without gi found it much harder. Maybe you should try a video without gi?

my karate gi from my sleeve caught a lot of air and that was one of the main reasons the candles went out so quickly.

I modified the pratice a little bit and had some space between the candles and didn't wear gear! Much more challenging!

[Seeeemonster]

It looks like your blowing on it dude

[trosanelli]

@Seeeemonster - I think you are missing the point of the video. I am demonstrating serious training drills to developing punching speed and power for people to practice so why would I blow on the candles. Plus, this video took lots of time to produce. I had many outtakes (not shown) before I got it a few times. I tried the 7 candles like 20 - 30 times and that was the best that I could do. Try the drill, it's hard and will develop you punch.

[Seeeemonster]

@trosanelli After I tried the candle punch I discovered it is much harder then it looks, I can successfully punch one candle with horrible form, Soz if you found my comment offensive.

Respect.

[Shmior]

cool. But can you do that without a gi?

[steveecker]

@Shmior Yes, it is possible >> watch?v=Alwg35Alon8&feature=re­lated >> Watch that video. If you ever get attacked by candles after you set them on fire, you'll know what to do lol.

[trosanelli]

@steveecker - Wow, I have to attempt that one.

[kamasu2008]

He looks like the singer from Mudvayne, right?

[pachelbel159]

he can't do barefist

with all 5 candles

[lyn800]

hey try kick it with a frontal kick from hips to chin target 

[Sabu743]

dont quit ur day job brooo

[trosanelli]

@Sabu743 - My day job is karate. It's awesome and I never quit. LOL! :)

[edwassas]

Good variation of a simple exercise, but in Karate we don't wear top part of kimono while doing candle punch. I'd like seeing it barefist.

[1dangerouskarateka]

Cool
