Growing up in Thai boxing and judo I have never really took karate seriously because of so many impostors, but this channel right there reintroduce the real karate!

[ThousandTimesNo]

Both my kids train Shotokan, but i always tended to pivot towards more "practical" arts (boxing, thai boxing). I've been searching for good channels on YT for my children to learn and i got hooked up by Your charisma and knowledge. Now, whenever i watch my kids doing kata i instantly imagine bunkai applications for them. I'm starting my adventure with karate in september... Thanks Jesse.

So glad you taught that tree a lesson there at the end. Especially in Sweden they think they own the place

[fishman]

Jesse, you have just taken my training alone to a whole new level in 11mins!!! thanks

[alexanderkazak]

One of the most valuable videos about karate practicing, no matter of school at all. and not only about karate actually. it looks so simple but so natural. also, the translation of "blocks" - changes everything in mind. Thank you!

[ricardoxbogan]

I love this segment. It's almost like using the belt as a rattan ring or wooden dummy. Genius. Thanks again.

[joshuabreunig]

Jesse, you reinvented the Wing-Chun dummy for karate which takes my training alone to new level. Thank you very much

[gedassan]

When our teacher came back from Okinawa this is what we did a lot. Without the dummy, but always leaving the center line :) The fun part is also the sequence flowing back into itself. Good stuff! Love this channel.

That belt round the bag is simultaneously simple and genius. Wing chun wooden dummy meets heavy bag.

[THEJKDMAN]

This is an old Filipino method. There are three way to use rope or belt. Nice to see how this kind of solo training is apply with karate do. Great video and tips. Regards

[figraa]

You literally have revolutionized the method of the teaching of karate, Sensei. I hope my karate school's National Black Belt Board members see your channel and videos as their teaching references because, tbh, their teaching methods are getting outdated.

NB: I would probably use a tree trunk near my house since I have no punchbags 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[mykulpierce]

I've been wanting to make an articulated training dummy. Still working out design. So far prototyping with pvc piping as "bone" and then using rope as connectors trying to copy the range of motion of a limb. Work in progress.

[sanjibmishra]

You are the man who finally made me respect karate. I am grateful to you for that.

[andytate]

This is absolutely amazing I'm going to use this method when I teach my grandson, I've never seen this method before and I've been knocking around for years. Thank you Jesse!

[nytrodralyg]

As pretty much all Kung Fu techniques found in the forms are based around trapping, the wooden dummy for me is ideal for training the applictions of the forms

[malikdespanie]

Sensei Jesse:"The first thing you want to do is get familiar with the belt."
Me: Trust me I am. (flashbacks to my childhood)

[gunterransleben]

Magnificent again. I finished my Makiwara a few days ago. Now I know what's missing. The best method for these lonely days. Thanks a lot! And stay healthy!

[onebadpuffin]

This video is going in my saved playlist. I'm going to go through the whole Sepai kata and apply the techniques with this training method. I better get out my pad and pen here lol...

[HvyTank]

❤💛❤💛❤ Loved this!! Thank you, Jesse-San, for adding so much value to the world of Martial Arts. What would we do without you?!

[elizajames]

Jesse, you are a real innovator. As my martial arts instructor always said, use what you have at that moment.
