i see now japanese techniques are hard to catch the kicks because they snapped it

[primalwarriormovement]

I'd love to see the differences between Okinawan Vs Japanese Vs American/Western styles!

[TheJofrica]

The hand strikes are markedly more different

[just_savior]

You should definitely make a video with Rafael Aghayev

[MrOlleyOlley]

I trained in traditional Karate in the Uk. Only reason I snapped my kicks back was for balance. If kicking to hurt I would push my whole weight through a kick.

[JohnnyangryJohnny]

Snapping kicks send the force further into a much more specific point of contact. A white belt can use a "push" kick but learning a proper snap is like aging a fine wine.

I think it is very evident that Sensei Seth's karate has gradually changed over time as he has absorbed other styles so his is very pragmatic but definitely less pure. His side kick lacking a true chamber probably being the best example.
Honestly I love both styles.

[bunkaiking]

The spinning side kick from sensei jesse was a thing of beauty 🥋

[gingerbreaddelicious]

What is important is the benefit not only the appearance

[PingwinB]

Both version of punching and kicking are good and important to learning couse they are very usefull depends of situation.

[maitreyand]

The logical n intentional difference that i find between the two approaches is that, when you want to hold your form n repeat the action, you snap n pull back, as in Fujian White Crane n Okinawan systems... On the contrary if you want to utilise full body power n don't want to hold previous form n rather flow into another subsequent form, you don't snap n pull back... This is also the concept of Taijutsu... So its a choice of intention n requirement... 🤗😇🙏🙏🌼

When I used to practice traditional karate - I was totaly convinced the way Jesse executes his techniques was the way to go because I had been convinced that throwing your body mass into a technique would be evaded and you would go falling off balance and KO'd beyond consciousness. It is funny because I was convinved of this even though I never sparred with live, resisting partners. Once I trained with resisting partners in Muay Thai - I understood the practical reality of throwing your technique and NOT snapping your legs and arms back llike you would if you were hitting thin air.

[bombdotcom]

I do Taekwondo but that snap back to the chamber is something my instructor will always remind me about- Over and over again- To the point that my legs hurt from doing kicks over and over

[mattinthehat]

Thank you for this video. Another great one as always.

[Randoman]

Is there any chance you could do a video on the bunkai for the heian katas. Specifically, the opening to heian yodan

[keithjackson-whgg]

I love it because they look the same but so different 😮the comparison of speed versus sheer force and impact🎉

[raydrexler]

If Seth lands you go flying, if he misses, he is overextended. If Jesse lands you have broken bones, can’t breathe and are standing there waiting for him to finish you. If Jesse misses he gets to try again or another technique more quickly.

[vivis-voices]

I love seeing the difference between perfect technique and insane power! I love you two fr fr!!

[suf-star]

The backfist from jesse looked so clean

[Berengier]

0:20 "side kicks don't work!"

Kidding.

It is nice to see the different ways to do the kicks though.

Funny enough I do Okinawan Karate but I practice like I do American.
