How to understand basic karate Videos

+carlos garcia I've done boxing and it is a very good fighting form BUT you never know if someone has a weapon and while the boxing stance is straight up with your hands in front of your face that leaves you open to getting stabbed in the stomach very easily or as you said getting kicked especially in the balls would incapacitate you

You have talked!! 

+Reporterfreebies exactly my point :-)

+sage smith this is just a training to develop muscle memory and reflexes and attributes..... even boxing has training system to develop attributes....

+ALIEN SCIENTIST obviously, in a real knife fight there is no question and answer because it ends in 3 seconds... one block, one counter attack....this is training to develop your reflexes and attributes... this is not actual fight..knife fighting is just like boxing.. if you can parry a punch, make evasive movements and make counter attack, then you can also do it in knife fights...

+volikoto Description/Watch the video

+BIG DAWG Please don't misunderstood me I'm not mocking the technique or anything. I'm an FMA practitioner,to be specific, an Arnis/escrima player from the Philippines. all I'm saying was this video is to prove that don't compare the training and real life situation.because people tend to do that...in real life threatening situation you must consider the following:Fear, where you feel fear when your in danger and can affect your focus to fight someone, in short your fear for you own life.second the uploader's comment just going to repost it here. in training there is no fear of getting hurt. So it's the equivalent of playing laser tag to determine which operator is "better".3) Slashes vs Stabs and pokes. From a sharp knife, you won't even feel the cuts. Pokes and stabs induce immediate pain compliance. On white overalls, those pokes and stabs may not even register.I definitely see where you are going. People just crave some "realistic" manifestation of skill development...but without pain and fear...everything falls short of being realistic. The same goes for firearms training. Sure you can feel the pinch of sim rounds or paint balls --- but nothing replaces fear of the bullet.third is the pressure when you fight someone,you feel the pressure especially when you were ambush with mass people it can affect your focus again and can't do the technique you learn properly.but your movements may become faster if your adrenaline activates but your stance may be awkward depending on how long you practice the technique...the long you train the less you'll be akward best example of unrealistic are action movies where the blocks are perfect because it was staged..in real life you can't block all the punches and kicks because you can feel the pain even you block especially when your not used to street fight..best example for close to realistic was UFC BUT there are rules in there thats why we can't consider as fully realistic because in fight dirty tricks or tactics are sometimes effective to kill or take down a person thats why UFC is not fully realisticI hope you were enlighten and please don't misunderstood me,I'm not mocking the style or technique. I'm just saying that the feeling of danger is different from normal training but with the help of your training as I said before it can raise of chance of survival..If you still disagree about this then I'm going to respect your decision.Take care, mabuhay!

+Raymart Calinao I still think it's very realistic. O_o you can do all that crazy stuff if you train hard enough. It doesn't matter how your opponent looks when he/she attacks you. Aggressive or whatever. to me there's 2 training. 1 when you train your techniques all the tapping etc. and 1 when you practice for real life scenario. we have 2 arms and 2 legs. If you're fighting an alien with 4 arms or something.. Then the thing you're doing will be unrealistic. there's this rare footage of a shaolin monk fighting a taekwondo fighter. you can see that his forms are very solid. those crazy moves they practiced everyday.. He was able to do it. Yeah they're both trained in martial arts I know. What if the person that's going to attack you is not trained? he would come at you differently of course. cause he's not trained. But it doesn't matter. He's a human being. 2 arms and 2 legs. Yes, you won't do all that tapping and stuff. But you could do it. In life threatening situation. You'd just go straight for the kill. no patty cakes. tapping and redirecting etc.

Yeah.. Doug and Chris are VERY well trained. Nothing lacking. The principle is unrealistic. Read the description and watch the video.

+BIG DAWG the video prove that it was really unrealistic. marcaida already said that training and Real life threatening situation is different but it doesn't mean that the technique itself is ineffective. this video only implies to those people always say that "Oh this technique is very slow and can't used it in a real life threatening situation my own technique _______(any martial arts) is way better"these vids prove that the techniques you learn doesn't mean you are invincible but you can use what you learn to raise the chance of your survival in case there's a life threatening situation especially when the one who ambush you was an untrain personsorry if there would be a wrong grammar not really good in Eng hehe

+Funker Tactical - Gun & Gear Videos guys this video was really enlightening.

+Peter Marron (Pbmarron) You hit the nail on the head brother.

+BloodofPatriots well this is just training.

+Leon B What about long range with kicks? Ever think of that? If you're a boxer and you don't know how to do a good kick well you're screwed. My self i do Muay Thai (Thai Boxing) i think it's is the best, it has long range (kicks) close range (boxing) and ground fighting.

but i agree that it isnt the artform that matters its the person

+Mo H I can really see MW as a good guy in a bad movie.

+aqualinknun I bet you won´t laugh anymore if someone re-stomped your groin.

+Marvbunks Only works if you want your opponents to die of laughter.

depends on The sittuvation but its a great martial art very effektive :)

Jup :)

+Nick Karatekid Lol, Kyokushin is overkill for street fights. Especially if you go through the endurance training, those black belt fighters look like they feel no pain when youpunch them.

+TheSkYgAmEr TheSkYgAmEr Always run in zig-zag fashion when fleeing from a shooter. Never run in a straight line as you will effectively be a stationary target.

+ander11rso first you have to kick the eggs but if the enemy is much faster than your kick you got a bloody face

+El Comandante Hannibal Shaka-Sakanouye no Tamuramaro-Zuluas I said earlier, someone who knows what they're doing isn't going to run in blind and dumb...if you don't know how to manage conflict without getting shot, then I feel sorry for you.There's a HUGE gap between being willing to use force offensively and running around punching every person until you find one with a gun...Oh, also, that concern has absolutely nothing to do with knowing how to fight. So, I win.

+Pinkerton00 *Yawn*You're gonna end up face down in a pool of your own blood after getting your ass shot.

+ander11rso Krav Maga is the Crossfit of martial arts. The professionals look like great examples but the laymen suck and have no foundational skills

+El Comandante Hannibal Shaka-Sakanouye no Tamuramaro-Zulu That's the kind of crap I'm talking about. Fighting isn't always about proving something. Sometimes you might want to start a fight to take someone down a peg with no thought as to your own standing.And there's no rule against insecure martial arts masters, anyway. Why couldn't you have an expert that feels the need to prove themselves to other people? You're conflating combat expertise with a particular philosophy and ethical framework, but the two things are entirely unrelated. The idea that this kind of aversion to violence is somehow inseparable from combat expertise is groundless and honestly childish. It's a fantasy that has only spread so wide as a result of popular narrative archetypes in our culture.

+Pinkerton00 Start fights? That's pretty stupid. When you are trained to hurt and/or kill, you realize that you have nothing to prove by fighting.

+ander11rso #dummy

Thats why Krav Maga exist. Krav can beat all martial arts. Just a kick to the eggs.

+KidsKicksforChrist Stop it with the stupid Japanese pacifist honor crap. Martial arts were developed for war. What a person does with the knowledge is totally dependent on them and how they feel like using it. True, a person that knows what they're doing probably won't rush in blind and stupid, but there's no reason that they shouldn't start fights when they think it's worth it.

+theXpto51 he already explained it in the video. It just comes down to who is better. Do you have more repetitions under your belt or if you can think quicker.....the person to hit first will usually be the one to win

+theXpto51 90% of people who are knowledgeable in the Martial arts, won't start a fight, but they just finish it. If you respect the Arts, YOU walk away before a fight can accrue, if you are forced to defend yourself, Pray for forgiveness after you kill the bastards, you don't fight.

i am new to karate and i epilepsy i am learning taikiyoku eould you have video explaining that one . thank you

Says you :))

+J. Hahaha, Wikipedia.

Wich themselves were developed from ? Teh whole point of were did it all come from is pretty much not really very relevent allthough historicly interresting. People have been bashing eachothers heads in since proberbly before wel left the trees.... Geven the facr rhart we have a brain that ¨want¨ to organise stuff clasify plan ahead etc etc etc etc  it is only natural that in some way or form we started to ¨organise¨ ik et voila the MA´s were born. Offcourse ypu see many things in more then ONE style th ehuman body (and mind) is limited in what it can do and what can be done against is to damge or destroy it... There fore sooner or later even without any prior contact 2 groups of folkes developing a way to defebd abd atack abother human being ( or realle aby other creature or object) with there own body and mind will developt similair condepts and tecnique´s Most proberbly there fore it all started in Africa or mabe not depeding on your definition in a way many animals before os also has way´s to defend and attack...

+fedupwithusernames52 and kung fu was born from another martial arts from india.

+fedupwithusernames52 You do realise that the term Kung-Fu is a hollywood contstruct right ?

I wouldn't agree more...  as soon as new come up, the know-it-alls want to jump on the troll&haters wagon like drowning rats trying to get out of floodwater flooded sewer during a flood.
