Andre really is one of the top Karate instructors in the world. The power he has and how he continues teaching Asais version of Shotokan in his very own way is amazing.
I like the points about bringing the shoulder just a bit forward to engage the latissimus dorsi and the turning of the forearm as opposed to turning the wrist. I made these adjustments a while ago and feel that they improved my punches a lot.
@@johnbulcaster7464 The lat does have a lot to do with punches. The thing with most modern karate styles is that they have no real idea of punching because they never hit bags and never try to drop anyone. Shotokan is particularly guilty of this. The lat stabilizes the punch for the drive-through when you hit the target and gives the punch a lot of its strength especially when you don't have the space to stand in a super-long, wide stance, which karate people comically assume is always the case. I realized this when I switched from Shotokan to an okinawa Goju Style where sparring is full contact and they don't subscribe to the idea of learning how to punch by hitting the air exclusively. This is something the modernized styles definitely need to work on.
It gives your whole arm more stability actually but your right not power , just like the base of a crane functioning as a strong base for the cran arm \ bull doxer/ excavator etc.
@@honigdachs.I disagree with you grasshopper, the last have absolutely nothing to do with the power of the punch. Legs, hips, and shoulders do. Lats are good for judo or Jiu Jitsu however. OSS!!
Thank you for uploading this video, Oliver I have watched several videos of Andre Bertel and admire his accuracy and speed. Here he gives us important information and hints in order to improve our tsuki.
Superb. A lot of the technicalities he points out would have been ones that Kanazawa Shihan always emphasised. A great example of this is the wrist twist in gyaku tzuki. Very impressive.
Thank you, for such an impressive teaching of how to deliver a proper very fast forward and reverse punch. I have been practicing karate for more than 30yrs this is very good
Very good video, respect to Sensei Bertel. Shotokan Karate's classical chudan level straight punches are a little bit too difficult to master IMO. One sugggestion, taking some boxing lessons with a good Boxing Coach would help to develop more power and speed for Karate punches. At least it worked for me. Thank you again for this awesome video. Ossss.
As much as I love MMA for self defense there's really something to be said about someone who's really skilled at traditional martial arts. The masters of the perfectly timed one strike knockouts
Oss Sensei Thank you so much for your interesting training and excellent coaching,i do appreciate your job,i wish you peace and happiness under the sky of prosperity, take care and have a good time. Your Student from Algeria.
In Kyukhushin we hit hard and we still have less injuries than any other sports because we conditions our students body’s to take the punch 🤛 then only can you give it osu
I like this.your are the champion. I want learn this so can you give me some tips.becoz your parformens so good. Thank you sir . but one cundtion .. I am 50yers old. And I am broun belt in shiyorin subukan. Thank you sir.
Zanshin rather than sanchin in the contents at 05:30? (Talking about usual transliteration here as I know this can vary; the discussion is about awareness (zanshin) rather than the stance/kata (sanchin)).
2:35 wiederspricht diese Erklärung nicht dem, was er vorher mit dem Partner erklärt hat. Hier macht er doch wieder eine Drehung ganz zum Schluss? Was hab ich da nicht verstanden?
This is the problem with most shotokan school they focus too much on perfer form.. This is just dry land swimming the technic needs to be put into kumite the way the kyokushin practitioners do full contact sparring. In shotokan the sensei is always stressing this point and that point about a particular technic.. to much explaining and looking good. Most black belts holders don't know how to fight with all those explanations in most dojos.they need to get in the water and swim and stop been too theoritical. Another thing is many schools always want to follow the japanese senseis about this and that.. There many westerners who are good in shotokan than the japanese themsevles...
I'm a shotokan yondan from São Paulo and I agree with you. Technique is only as correct as it works in fighting, with contact. Martial arts tend to fall into the mistake of "overthinking", losing themselves in thechnical mazes, specially when they lack the simple habit of free sparring with contact.
I have tennis elbow from doing too many heavy preacher curls. A full, hard punch often makes my elbow shoot a pain. Is it even possible for me to do punches 'correctly' or should I just pull all my punches and avoid over extension of my elbow?
@@earlhamlette7030 that does not answer my question. Try the same punch without twisting the wrist/forearm. I suggest it’s just dogma or tradition and nothing to do with the most efficient way to punch.

Ad ogni lezione per tirare un pugno si fa un'ora di teoria. Blà blà blà. Una volta il Karate si faceva in silenzio. OSS!!!
Andre Sensei's techniques are so clear, he's roll model !
Superb teacher and technician....a new discovery for me....inspiring.
I like the points about bringing the shoulder just a bit forward to engage the latissimus dorsi and the turning of the forearm as opposed to turning the wrist. I made these adjustments a while ago and feel that they improved my punches a lot.
The Latissmus dorsi has nothing to do with throwing a punch. It is for pulling not punching....Hey I still like Bertel he's just wrong on this one

Subtexts is appreciated. It's not always easy to understand mr Bertel if you're not from an english speaking country.
There are German and English subtitles.
Thanks man,such a privilege to see his seminar even if it's on RUclips and not real life

You know a lot of Japanese word. Will they protect you from the Great Replacement?
Always great to see Asai Shotokan Karate.
Andre Bertel is a great bloke and no one too be messed with Osu
Great power and lucid principles. These Oi-zuki/ gyaku-zuki have been proven effective in MMA.
Thank you, for such an impressive teaching of how to deliver a proper very fast forward and reverse punch. I have been practicing karate for more than 30yrs this is very good
Only 30? What till it’s past 50 years of training. Then you’ll wish it had not taken as many hard falls when you were younger and invincible. Lol
If u learn from the real masters like him it will make big difference💪
Grand maître qui enseigne ces cours de karaté. Le budo.
Continuer votre enseignement de karaté. Vous le faite très bien.
Encore bravo.

Amazing technique
Very beautiful technics, speed and precision! My worries is just about articulation in the time, because of hit on the ground with feet?
In Kyukhushin we hit hard and we still have less injuries than any other sports because we conditions our students body’s to take the punch 🤛 then only can you give it osu

Zanshin rather than sanchin in the contents at 05:30? (Talking about usual transliteration here as I know this can vary; the discussion is about awareness (zanshin) rather than the stance/kata (sanchin)).
Yes, you are absolutely right! Thank you very much, just corrected it :-)
Buenas tardes Andrés, es muy interesante Tu Técnicas, hay posibilidad de una traducción al español ?
Hi Shihan
When you come to Mexico to give a seminar
I am surprised so many black belts need to learn these basics from him!
Thanks, Super 💪💪

Technically, I don't know anybody better than the Japanese in Shotokan.
Sensei Richard Amos from England he lived and trained in japan. He is a briliant sensei technically with vast knowledge about the Art.
@@davidotuoma1865 his technique is still inferior to the Japanese.

Quiero invitarte a venir a colombia seminario
@3:05 I want to be that guy when I get to be older.
I have tennis elbow from doing too many heavy preacher curls. A full, hard punch often makes my elbow shoot a pain. Is it even possible for me to do punches 'correctly' or should I just pull all my punches and avoid over extension of my elbow?
its not about the technical aspect its how the person is motivate by himself its al about the person
Good practice i like so much
Homeboy got some Snap. Nice hip action. Remember your reverse punch must drive through your opponents rib cage and grab his heart.
I want an open challenge with andrel
Andre wery Master...❤
Nice👍👍
Hello sir I want to learn warm-up and technics plz help any videos for beginners
👍👍oss sensei👍👍
Ossu sensei thanks for the pointing out the wrist turning movement
NOT "WRIST"
..FOREARM..!!!
Finally in italian subtitle :)))
Why does turning the wrist or forearm create more power? I don’t understand how this works anatomically.
The snap in the wrist translates from power in the forearm to arm to shoulder , its a link, it structure
@@earlhamlette7030 that does not answer my question. Try the same punch without twisting the wrist/forearm. I suggest it’s just dogma or tradition and nothing to do with the most efficient way to punch.
Wow.. Beautiful.🌹
amazing
Hai. Thank you
Sensai very very nice 👍👍👍👍👍 iam Indian training in uechi ryu karate which styl reply massage iam training
Favor traduza para o português... Oss!
Podoba mi się filmik
I would like to like more about the forearm turning, is the elbow point to side or point down as the same?
;
Hi
Does anyone know what kind of karategui Shihan Bertel uses?
Who does'nt turn their forearm, who would turn the wrist?
Nobody turns their forearm, because nobody keeps the fist turned down until the very last moment
@@sassukiok, so what?
@@karatekid3233 see my comment in the main thread

The movement is solid, but there only a straight line fighting being taught, without angles we can't defend as well and our potential can't be reached.
