Blackbelt Kumite Drills Jab Sweep Jab, Shift Sweep Roundhouse

[nomamao]

Second technique assumes that one will stand there and watch you switch step and let you kick them in the ankle before they can punch or move inside your kick. Not likely. Shotokan has some decent stuff... this is not it.

[nomamao]

The first application is plain bonkers. You go through all that work to land ONE counterpunch? Come, on. since you are already grabbing th guy's arm, why not pull it in, since he made the stupid mistake of tying to block your jab? Then, the silly arm punching employed in that application might have some payoff.

[ANA5TACIO]

poor sweeping application, seems as a mere distraction for a follow-up strike. So technically it's not a sweep, most of them are not even hooking the back of the foot. I'm sure this school has great intentions; however, awarding a black belt shouldn't be so easily gained to those who are not ready yet. There's no rush in martial arts, belt colour will never matter in comparison to skill level.

[Jersm5]

you cannot grab and attack in kyokushin competition.

[MrConan1985]

whats the point in the sweep if you can't throw your op. off balance. the sweep doesn't look like it does anything to the opponent ,not having a go just trying to understand? 

[checkyerself]

@MrConan1985 It seems that he is being a good training partner and not going too hard for the drill. But the sweep when done with power and timing it can takedown your opponent and hurts the ankle. In this case with the kick after , the sweep is a set up. search: frank Brennan for good examples of this combo used in tournaments!

[JohnChivez]

@MrConan1985 I'm guessing here... but I see it as a tap that prevents them from turning into you, and prevents them twisting on the ball of the foot for a strong hook counter punch

[MegaBEVINS]

OK, Flat footed, sweeping with a square hip, throwing a lame round punch with no foundation.........wow, have you looked at your vid? When Mr. public sees the stuff you’re doing he thinks all Martial Arts are that bad. You go thru the motions but I bet in a real fight you would get your butt handed to you and I bet deep down in your heart you know it. You need to look for a real source to “drink from”, swallow your pride and strive to change your bad habbits.

[spadaydaga]

Who's the instructor? He's great!

[dobberdoss]

Quite simply lame!

[Kwimalo]

Great drills. Music is ass.

[MuradHollow]

What?

Do you expect p0rnstars in Karate videos?-.- /sigh

[pbzkfdt11]

Is it possible to use this technique in open stance?

[checkyerself]

These are classic combos , old school but still works.... personally i like to keep hands higher but whatever...

[SignorFOX]

great ! works !

[yosefsima]

There just doesn't seem to be any kime to that technique at all. The drill didn't demonstrate knocking the opponent off balance with any sense of advantage and the jab had no purpose; it just looked flung out there and drawn back immediately.

[pacificspotted]

that black dude is quality

[gregor1972]

classic karate does not know face and chin defense.

that is the first thing every boxer and fighter must learn: hands up, chin down.

the karate freaks in this vid would not success on the street.

[budokanboy]

@gregor1972 after reading your comment I wonder if you would a make a pimple on a real blackbelts ass......

[gregor1972]

@budokanboy ...and after reading your comments: you are really a boy, not a man.

[budokanboy]

@gregor1972 I'll be a boy....but I've been to the top and watched jokers who trained in schools that were a joke...Just because a man rents a building and puts a big "Karate" sign on front of it doesn't make it so....as far as the techniques in the video I would say they are very basic and are used to open the students eyes in reference to opportunities for openings and what would work for the students individual body dynamics.....I'll be a boy..just don't get in my way and you'll be fine.......

[fujicolt]

whilst any of us can criticise I liked the fact that this instructor is showing that Good shotokan is not static or on tramlines = nice IMHO!

[abomb10]

the black guy has the technique down

[Jyuta71]

a cazzaro !!

[OmarDelfinity]

too structured in my opinion. I've sparred and in a real sparring, it's not easy to do those moves because people are always moving. for example, people are not always going to have their arms out and you can't always grab their arms. and if you can try a move, you never know they can always counter you. nice routines though.

[budokanboy]

@OmarDelfinity these are basic drills...Not free sparring....Learn alittle about training before condemning these guys...

[OmarDelfinity]

@budokanboy I train in karate and I'm actually a black belt. I'm going to start judo and jiujitsu soon but still will be training in karate. I know about basic drills. I never condemned these guys. I was just saying that some of the moves aren't very realistic. It's always good to know what works and what does not in reality.

[wadokaikarate]

I really like the second combination, it seems like it would work really well, a sanbon everytime!

but the first combo i don't think would work only because it seems a little slow and unrealistic because i think it would be hard to get around the person with the jap and sweep... only because the attacker if any good will probably time you every time, just my opinion thoughh .

[ptboyindenver]

@wadokaikarate Funny, but I love the first one. The wrist grab tends to freeze most people up and prevents defense of the head from that side. The leg smack further confuses and unbalances. These combine to give you the time to shift for the punch. Full point, match over. It's beautiful self-defense - pull him into the punch, throw yourself into it - lights out. With a real-life bare knuckle blow to the side of the head, he gets an ambulance ride, you walk away. Caution is advised.

[ptboyindenver]

@wadokaikarate As kumite, the 2nd is very good - I remember scoring with almost that exact combo 30 years ago. Taking risks is necessary to win in kumite, but in self defense, putting your foot up in the air like that is simply insane. In kuimite the worst that can happen is the other guy gets a point. In self defense you just might be the one getting the ambulance ride.

[trojanFighter911]

fuck you, i was watching their moves and foot work, they cant move and attack worth shit, so fuck you bitch!!!!!

[facebook464]

brutto proprio!!!!

[trojanFighter911]

bunch of ugly guys doing karate lol

[Ruben1994OL]

Damn, the black dude at 1:30 is fast!

What style is this, anyway?

[radamanthys1]

shotokan karate-do

[kitemaster55]

MrMikeod why don't you show an example of your karate on your channel so we can compare

[hotlilskaterboi]

thier is no connection no kemi because yall are rasing the shoulder and throwing the arm i dont even know how to explain how many things are wrong with this. But thier are alot

[renshiboom]

I like it as a drill....as a technique not so much. Having come from a shotokan background and moving into MMA I have learned the importance of range. I don't like being so close when I throw the mawashi keri.

[ShotokanKarate39]

@renshiboom mawashi keri you say? its mawashi geri dude

[renshiboom]

@ShotokanKarate39

in Japanese there is very little difference between the "g" sound and the "k" sound, especially depending on where you are from in the country or what dialect you speak. To use a martial arts reference, when you look at the weapon "kama" or"kusarikama" the "g"s and "k"s are interchangeable to "gusarikama" or "kusarigama". Dude.

[MrReeceJC]

@renshiboom / @ShotokanKarate39 This is partially correct in what he is saying, they are interchangeable the Japanese language is complex but in this case, the letter changes when it is proceeded by something, the same as a lot of 'b' and 'h' words. A kick, is called a keri however when it is proceeded by something (i.e. mawashi) it is geri. Same as Hayashi [林] (forest) but when proceeded by something, such as Matsu [松] (Pine) / Sho [小] (Small) it becomes Matsu/Shobayashi. Hope this has helped!

[Ronin6575]

@renshiboom Actually, the word keri is used when discussing the generic kick, but when mae or yoko are spoken first, it changes to geri....

I would guess by this that you did not spend much time in shotokan. No big deal.

[brunolp18]

@renshiboom But you would only be that close if you use the guard break he uses as a second movement, right after the stance shift. He applies the ashi-barai (sweep) so he can enter the opponent's perimeter and deliver the mawashi-geri. Otherwise, you apply the kyazu-mawashi-geri, which is the mawashi with the rear leg, since you have to be close to use the front leg (oi-mawashi).

[renshiboom]

@brunolp18 I hear what you are saying...but I rarely fight or spar people who stand in zenkutsu dachi with that big front leg sticking out there. Applying ashi barai to an opponent with a shortened stance puts me in way too deep. I was also taught that ashi barai should be used sparingly on a foot that is rooted. This is why I find it very appealing as a drill, but its application in motion rather than static seems wanting to me.

[yogbert]

Nice moves!

[BradleyInnes32]

Good work. Keepem comin

Good kickn Black man!
