Angry birds is my favorite martial art
😏😏
Everyone says the same about ITF Taekwondo. If you've ever taken a hard back kick to the chest, you know about it.
I agree. People say the same about WTF as well. Getting hit hard with the straight on kicks like back and side kicks knocks the wind right out of you.
@@J_Grisak Absolutely. WT is full contact too I believe. I do Shotokan as well and it doesn't take a genius to realise that throwing techniques with some speed and weight will hurt.
@@jamiearnold1711 Exactly! You see videos of people getting KOed in WT and ITF. People watch the modern foot fencing and think that it is how people would try to fight in the streets.
Just came back from training ITF. MY RIBS!!!!!!! regardless they R keyboard Worrier's. Anyone who claims one martial art is better hasnt dedicated themselves to one. Every good judoka has been humbled by an aikidoka. Every BJJdoka has been humbled by a taekwondoka and every amateur boxer has been humbled by a tai chi master. I feel confident enough in saying only a martial artist would know. I like adding the word ka, even when it isn't necessary.
Facts👍
Bro the last thing I ever expected was an Angry Bird sponsorship for Nat 😂
Hahah me too tbh
Muay Thai is not the only martial art that has elbows and knees, Lethwei is not the only martial art that has headbutts, and Taekwondo is not the only martial art with spinning kicks. These martial arts are only famous for using these techniques because they are most commonly utilized in frequent competition. There are other martial arts that have all of these techniques, but their purpose is different, usually for self defense or health, that does not mean that they are useless, it just means they serve a different purpose.
As a fencer, i can confirm that shit really hurts when your kicked even if you have the full protection (a mf in a training session got mad at me because I won)
U know u special when angry birds sponsor you.........
"Knowing something is better than knowing nothing"
👍👍👍
Why don't you do kata tutorial as well as shorts
Your advertising is probably the most unique and entertaining ive seen in a while now 😁
Thank you!👊
nice vid nat the angry birds sponser was unexpected but funny
Thank you bro👊
I have never seen a face so perfectly symmetrical
Matt Bomer in white collar
Been watching you for 4 years and now you got sponsors you improved a lot
That ad was smooth 😂
Thanks man hahahah
Also don’t forget to mention that Connor McGregor also uses karate as well
True👍
Can you please make a video on the moves we can practice at home without any kind of equipment?
👍👍
Nat explaining starting part of karate by promtin angry bird sponsorship one of the best game though 😂🗿🗿 creativity ❤
Thank you haha👊
A good man told me recently that no martial art works. It's the person who works. You are clearly working bruv. Shout out to your sensei as well. He's very good too!
Thank you bro, appreciate the support👊

good for you for getting a sponsorship man!! great video!
Good content. I love martial arts talk, especially Iaido and Karate. Subscribed.
Combat karate works but competition karate is just for show ,I’ve seen guys in the street get hit with a round house to the head and it was lights out,it really depends who’s throwing them
I thought the whole video was gonna be about angry birds 2 lol
I'm so gonna go download Angry Birds again now 😂
Nice😏
I really like this video format where you just take your time to sit down and talk with us about what's on your mind. Go Nat 💪🏻❣️
Thank you! Glad you liked it
00:03 Karate effectiveness explained
00:59 Contrary to popular belief, Karate is effective and not watered down.
01:54 Real karate still exists as a form of self-defense.
02:47 Karate can be effective in MMA.
03:43 Adapting karate techniques for MMA success
04:36 Karate was susceptible to being modernized and money making
05:25 Karate techniques are effective and diverse.
06:20 Moral: Respect all martial arts regardless of personal preference.
I feel like most people never trained anything and are just talking trash, Karate is amazing and was some of the best techniques in martial arts, the point version was give Karate a bad exposure to the general public, people dont realize this but Karate is all over MMA, also when people talk about Muay Thai they talk about guys that had 300+ fights, the average Muay Thai practitioner is not that good they tend to be better that the average Karate one because Muay Thai was shorter learning curve to it, Karate takes 5+ years to get good, specially with hands, and in today's world if you only know one martial art you are fool you should take bits from other arts and include it in your arsenal of techniques. Oss.
Yeah honestly I do karate and I’ve beaten some Muay Thai fighters in sparring
@@thunderkatz4219 I have beaten some Muay Thai fighters and when i was doing Kickboxing to better my striking knowledge i use to smack everyone there besides the actual fighters.
@@tiagosaraiva102 I don't know why you guys think it's the point karate that ruined the reputation of this martial art, it's really not: among the problems people have with karate, you have the chambered punches (you keep the opposite fist near the hip instead of protecting your face like in boxing), the way to block punches with 90° blocks (age-uke, soto-uke, uchi-uke, syuto-uke), the way techniques are practiced (e.g. the opponent attacks from 7 feet away)
@@exileatsushi7165 I dont keep my hand by hip and not single legit Karate guy will tell you that they do, on contrary in point fighting you are obligated to bring your hand to the hip in order to be scored a point thats why you see them pull back to the hip, the hand by the hip thats to learn bro not to fight. Please look up Vinício Antony and see the aplications of the blocks in real scenario, to many Dojos teach the aplication of blocks WRONG since they are not blocks but throws, grabs and frames!
@@exileatsushi7165 this chambered punches is only in kihon and fixed kumite. In jiyu kumite/live sparring, we don't really do chambered punches/hikite unless it's to grab and pull the opponent towards our fist.
This, my friends, is the correct way to do a sponsor
🤝🤝🤝
LESGOOO MY BOI GOT HIS FIRST SPONSOR (idk if you've got other sponsors or not im just happy for you :D)
Thanks bro! Appreciate that👊
I train Muay Thai and a friend dose karate. We are both very good( years of training) and really it comes down to who makes the mistake first. Really the only advantage I have would be that I do a lot more cardio than he dose.
This dude's face looks like it was chiseled put of stone.
Francisco Filho,Rico Verhoeven, Andy Hug, Takeru Segawa, Feitosa, Thompson, Lyoto, GSP all these guys started in Karate.
👍👊👊
Kyokushin is highly effective
You're close to hitting 1 milion! Let's gooo!
Cool vid bro, can you please help me with your video editing app's name please 🥺
Hi Nat can you do a video about some techniques in kumite
Yes👍
HIS BACK!!!😤
🤝🤝of course
I believe every technique in every art is effective, if you use it correctly at the right time
Agreed👍
A powerful back kick or a powerful front kick is deadly
👍👍
Congrats on the sponsorship! 🎉
Thank you👊
probably not first but i just want to say you are my idol and i look up to you, i have been doing karate for a while and always look at your page for tips, have a good one
Thank you that means a lot, keep up the karate👊👊
Very interesting video you explained the situation really well! Love from hungary🇭🇺💓
Appreciate that!👊👊
Like how sport karate sparring is a game kata is an art form.
Karate does work.
Its up to the user.
You can be a muay thay or mma fighter who barely has weight or physical strength and experience and lose to a karateka.
Its all about how strong the body got and how many skills he has.
Being strong is 1 ability.
But what does it matter when someone has 10 different abilties???
I can be the strongest guy o earth and lose to someone who is faster than me and has bigger endurance.
Or more techniques or is more durable.
Its all to the user.
Ans for the ,,Muay thay beats karate" kiddos:
Muay Thay is trained with much sparring and full contact with all physical force.
If karate training has those principes aswell then muay thay has no real difference to karate.
Actually 1 disadvantage to karate: Having more than 1 style.
How I recognise when dojo is a mcdojo or a good dojo for learn to fight?
Boxing, Muay Thai, kick-boxing all designed for use with big gloves. Karate designed to be done with an empty hand (no hand-wraps either). Gloves change the game totally. But empty hand more realistic.
Muay Thai was actually designed to be used with bare hands and ropes (comparable to knuckles in those days).
@@Mr.KnomTom yes and you can still see the old techniques in muay boran. Boran is a rich and profound art with open hand techniques, locks, strangles etc. Modern Muay Thai has imho become very glove oriented so really just focuses on thudding strikes that are harder to do bare knuckle. Take for example the recent bout between Saenchin and Bukaw. That was ungloved and you can see they don't really know how to use their fists (relatively speaking, obviously they are far beyond me, gloves or no gloves. But they are less effective than they are gloved because they don't have such a sense of what open hand is like). It also profoundly changes their clinch game. And this is with hand-wraps that still give you some of the advantages of gloves: ruclips.net/video/oXNsWwDMi8g/видео.html
@@itisyourdestiny8793 I agree that after Muay Boran became Muay Thai, most muay Thai fighter used very little punches and focused on kicks, knees and elbows, but that doesn't apply to Saenchai and Buakao because they fought since they didn't even use boxing gloves.
They're just too good friends to throw a punch😅
Buakao was well know that Seanchai Physical condition could not receive Buakao power.
@@Mr.KnomTom too good friends to throw a punch? Hahahahaha
only a true martial artist would know! Keyboard martial artists don't count. 🥋am i the only one who thinks muay thai is the kyokoshin of the boxing world?
I still believe there are differences in techniques, the roundhouse kick/mawashi geri being the prime example. A roundhouse kick turned with the knee pointing outwards (widespread in Muay Thai) will have a more powerful impact than a mawashi geri when the knee is lifted frontally and the hips turned in the last second.
I did karate when I was younger and did kung fu (Choi li fut) for over 10 years. From what I understand it always depends if 1. You spar 2. If you stay in shape 3. If you are able to not panic in self defense situations.
Kung fu and karate give you a ton of techniques that take years of repetition in order to have the skill, confidence and ability to use those techniques.
I train Goju and have cross-trained in BJJ and MMA (yes I have a lot of time), and I think karate works. Really, it depends on how you practice. If you only do kata, of course you won’t be able to fight/protect yourself, just like neglecting takedowns won’t make you great at doing takedowns.
You fight the way you practice
michael venom page look him up he is a karate guy in mma and he is a absolute killer
Yes him too👍👍
If somebody wants to try a martial art i would probably recommend muay thai, judo or kickboxing before karate but that is only because of the risk ive heard of several times that the people that run the dojo dont respect the levels of skill that you have to achieve before receiving a belt and instead putting money first. I have seen alot of fights where a muay thai practitioner meets a karate practitioner and the muay thai dude has to work really hard to get his kicks to work. Karate definitely works!
How about you try the Kudo headgear?
When a lot of outsiders look at Karate, it seems disjointed. Kata's tactics can be tricky to understand unless Bunkai is practised and explained practically. Whereas a casual observer can look at combat sports like Muay Thai and instantly understand 90%+ of the techniques used in training.
There's also Boxing and Muay Thai Mcdojos where there students only do bag work but NEVER spar. They say they do boxing but have never been hit in the face.
Where I live there are some places that teaches what they call "fitness muay thai and fitness boxing".
I went to a place like that to watch and the insteuctor made it clear it was for weight loss and conditioning only and wouldn't be useful in fights lile regular muay thai or regular boxing.
I found the instructor to be very honest telling this right away.
Do you think it should be considered a mcdojo even if the insteuctor said that right away?
@@lainhikaru5657no that's not a mcdojo but for fitness why would you learn muay thai? Boxing I understand.
@@Evilgamer-fi8nx No, no I don't think it's a mcdojo either since the guy said right away is for fitness only.
I just got curious on people's opinion on that matter.
@@Evilgamer-fi8nx also I guess muay thai could be good for the legs?
Maybe that's the reason they use it in their program.
@@lainhikaru5657 muay thai is not something you train for 'fitness' because people who want fitness would not not to go through the pain felt from shin conditioning and microfractures to make the bone stronger, not even self defense but for fitness ? 😅
Hello Nat, in 3 months my teenage students will have kata tournament. Could you give any advice on how to prepare them? For some of them it's first time to compete. Thank you in advance for your invaluable advice. Keep doing great job. Best regards :)
Funny one
Thanks Nat for being on time ❤❤😄
No problem👊
In competition with other fullcontact Sports it is tricky in my opinion. Kickboxing and muay Thai especially are so battlehardened that the karateka either needs to Adapt proper punching and blocking or the enemy has to be restrictet in a large scale. Otherwise Karate is to incomplete by now.
Bro promoting angry bird very good as professional
Why karate doesn't work when kickboxing does:
Karate (shotokan), as well as taekwondo and kung fu are procedure-oriented martial arts. In karate training proper technique execution is the most important part of the training. Therefore no matter what is your age, sex, height, weight, general athleticism, strong points, weak points - everyone trains the same. Experimentation and creativity of adepts is often frowned upon and definitely not encouraged. Same warmup, same kihon and kata. Kumite is usually the last part of the class, and many schools neglect it heavily, for various reasons. Lack of safety gear, lack of a proper number of advanced enough students to do it safely, lack of a good number of instructors to ensure it's all going on without major injuries or other issues.
Sparring is the ultimate test (aside competition) of a combat ability, it's stress testing technique to ensure as much as possible that you can perform techniques in a real self defense situation. If you don't spar - you aren't a fighter. You can call yourself a martial artist but it doesn't mean much if you don't spar.
Kickboxing (Muay Thai included, also in boxing) is a result-oriented martial art. And the result is winning the fight. Aside fundamentals- technique isn't as important as long as you can keep winning. Individuality of fighters plays a much bigger role in training. Boxing has boxing styles that fit many different body types- larger and slower dudes can be sluggers or boxer-punchers, smaller dudes with bad reach can become infighters while fast footwork dudes with good reach can be outboxers. In muay thai you have like 5 common types of nak muay, some are better with kicks, others with punches etc. Experimentation and creativity of fighters is encouraged as long as it lets them win sparrings.
And yeah, sparrings. A lot of them, often including separate sparring hours, either as extra or so regular classes aren't 75% sparring.
This is why karate doesn't work, the issue is at the core. And when it works- it produces capable fighters 2-3 times slower than kickboxing. Often relying on the practitioner doing much more work in his "free" time to improve as a fighter.
And I mean shotokan. Kyokushin has a strong focus on kumite, full contact. Lots of injuries but it really produces hard hitting, durable mfs. Can't take a face punch for the life of them, but kyokushin is a great supplementary martial art for boxers who want to get their punching power to the next level. They also have few cool punches unseen in boxing classes, like "stabbing uppercuts" (don't know the name, sorry) or short straight punches from their wide guard, that pack a power between a jab and a straight.
Shotokan and taekwondo are still decent martial arts, about medium tier in usability, above stuff like aikido, ninjutsu, systema (yuck), wing chun (yuck), tai chi, capoeia, jeet kune do, most kung fu in general. And they make decent supplementary skillsets for boxers and kickboxers. Special mention for muay thai and taekwondo- those 2 make a wonderful, devastating combination.
Why did you rate jeet kune do so low?Isn't it practically just a philosophy?
@@sirmagnifus7350 It is! And it's great as a philosophy. A good JKD instructor can really refine skills of a martial artist.
Sadly as you might be aware most JKD schools teach it as a pretty stale martial art, basically a mix of wing chun and kickboxing, often trying to immitate Bruce Lee's moves, selling mysticism and almost bullshido. Very little sparring. If you spend some time on youtube watching various JKD discussions you can find out how bad it is for JKD these days.
But yeah in it's pure form it's big bonus, great for refinement and helping people develop their own style
"And I mean shotokan. Kyokushin has a strong focus on kumite, full contact. Lots of injuries but it really produces hard hitting, durable mfs."
Notice that you seemed to only know two styles Shotokan and Kyokushin. You also didn’t notice that Kyokushin has all the same sort of kihon and kata and focuses on the traditional techniques that Shotokan has. The only difference is that they have a full-contact rule set in Kumite. This allows full-contact blows and produces toughness, but it allows two people to stand toe to toe and exchange blows in a context where headshots would end the fight if they were allowed. I
Shotokan actually has a much better defensive game because it practises with the concept of one punch, one kill, and hence, taking a shot at all is seen as a bad thing. So instead of focusing on punishment as a defence, it produces fighters who are better at evasion. It is also much more proficient with things like throws and defences against head punches, which Kyokushin lacks.
I suspect you don’t really know what you're talking about.
@@EragonAnimator if your only defense is telling me that I dont know what Im talking about you can pretty much fuck off. Shotokan kumite is a joke as much as the one punch=one kill shit.
I know more karate styles, including okinawan ones and modern freestyles, I just used 2 most popular styles. So what kyokushin has kihon or kata, those are used as training tools more than anything else, kumite is the main focus.
I was a shotokan karateka in the late 90s, trained by more old school guys and it was a joke back then too, not to mention today shotokan.
Wrong. The big difference is that boxing , kick-boxing, Muay Thai all use boxing gloves. This allows you to fight in a totally different way. Karate is practical so empty hand.
Any time a boxer Muay Thai or kick-boxer invites you to fight cordially invite them to do it no gloves no hand-wraps. Suddenly TOTALLY different.
Of course Karate works. There are people who have proven its effectiveness in the past and in the present
Agreed🤝
Martial arts keyboard warriors please do know that kumite (full-contact) exists
Idk if you read the comments but how do I find a "Real" karate dojo?
Do you still have your clothes brand Muteki? I can't find the shop🥋
bro looks like u go to A LOT of tournaments. I won some really big international tournaments but only 2. Can u tell me where to find tournaments? Is there a website u use? please tell bro big fan
I’m just part of the WKF and attend competitions that are in their calendar

Goodnight , Nat ❤❤😊🦊
Karate was the first martial arts that I learnt and attained a purple belt. Despite training in kickboxing and Muay Thai (to some extent), I still have utmost respect for Karate! Keep it going my man! 👊
You are making me want to do karate
thanks for your vids
What many fail to realize is that fighting is really a base set of skills and abilities completely independent from style, and that most styles work just fine when you can actually fight. That is why, for instance, karate is divided into kata and kumite etc.
and in fact you are wrong: no good fighter strikes, trows or counter well whitout learning it and practicing UNDER A STYLE.
@@marianoweigel6636I never even said anything about that in the first place. I know that keyboard warriors can't understand fighting but you really should understand English! 😂
@@fredriksjoblom5161 more like you express yourself poorly, but oh well the fault is in others right? ridiculous.

Good sir, you remind me everyday that no martial isn't "Kung Fu" (hard work). As a Wing Chun student, I thank you for clearing up the misconceptions that cloud these beautiful disciplines.

@@berennicholas5003 k
U inspired me i wanna be like you im joining a kyokushin karate dojo
I’m honestly really glad you made this video. Karate gets way too much hate and I really don’t like that, as it can be a great base to have due to its variety of multiple different karate types and karate moves
Thanks man glad you enjoyed👊
YES! I have used Recreational karate ( combat sport version) in 2 real life fights. But there are two ways of using karate (1) for recreational purposes (2) for combat. But both are different. With the original combat version you don't need to use or learn many katas just 1 but with the sport version you have to learn all katas depending what style your learning. Also remember the old masters had no styles in their day no belt system no GI or dojo and some had to train alone.
There's also another aspect of budo that (among others) Inazo Nitobe and Shinji Nakabayashi espouse: the idea of forming karacter (consciously mispelled).
While most western martial artists I have encountered practice it for either gaining sports achievements, or as a physical workout - making them (I would argue) martial sportists - Japan (and other East Asian countries) use it as a method of forming a person's character. Through hard practice, where focus is not solely on achieving a physical effect of a technique, the student can develop discipline, patience, and humility, making them better people.
Compare archery to kyūdō:
In the first sport, the whole point is to hit the target. If they can do so while sitting down and eating a banana, it would not detract from the result.
In kyūdō, on the other hand, the posture, attitude (ki), and movement of the competitor are all judged equally (if not more) to where the arrow strikes.
This, in my opinion, is the difference between a martial sport and a martial art.
as a green belt in kenpo karate
they are wrong.
Yo I do okianwan kenpo
I trained Muay thai for 15 years. I recently started training Shotokan to mix it up a bit. I can honestly say that BOTH these martial arts are as good as each other. I have been put on my ass so much by Karate guys. They are so quick and when they hit, they hit HARD. I have huge respect for any and all Martial Arts if they are taught/ trained correctly. They all have something to teach. People who watch a few RUclips videos on a certain art don't get an opinion. People who have dedicated years of their lives to learning an art do.
Yes, my Sensei was a 4th Dan in Shotokan, sparred with 6th Dans, and still managed to hit them hard, had palms like granite rock- probably did some iron palm training, apart from having legs hard as stone, and punches that could send you down, he could probably take on a Thai fighter, as his legs were seriously conditioned, over 30+ years experience in Japan, and Goju Ryu, it certainly works, as they say, one strike one kill, your aim is to get that one punch or kick that will end the fight, and put your opponent in hospital with broken bones or ruptured organs.
What do you think about trying couple of sports during life like gym 2 years, karate 2 years, swimming 2 years😂?
Day seventy four of asking teach me kyokushin karate or shotokan
I think everything you said is spot on. If you do the conditioning with the proper karate like boxers do, there's absolutely no reason why you can't be effective. Karate is a well rounded system for self defence. It's just that not everybody knows what real karate is like you say.
Karate or every martial arts work when right technique use at right time and it depends on person's training also
your videos go hard👍 I dont even want to leave a gun-fu comment anymore
Thank you bro🤝turned him from the dark side😏
Karate (excuse my french) has been bastardised through it's many incarnations. First it was a mix of strikes and grappling techniques inspired by Kung Fu. Then it was a self improvement device for Japanese schools. Then a sport. And now it could be just about anything. It's so far removed from what original Okinawan karate was.
yeah, the okinawate.
it all in fact comes from kung fu, but original karate was a a strong art
I’ve done karate at young and did it in school and I’m thinking about doing it again
Trust me bro just star again don’t quit you got this
I watched this guy defend himself from angry keyboard warriors, now he’s getting getting paid from angry birds…
🤝🤝
karate is really good even in the streets, i mean not all spinning kicks but front kicks and roundhouse is really effective. btw really good vid❤❤❤
Thank you💪
Man‘s jawline is sharper then a paper cut ;)
Thanks man💪
For me 3 year of kick boxing = 6 years of karate, but when you have a good level in karate you can do kickboxing too
1 year of kickboxing= 5 years of kyokushin karate
@@tarnsebastiandodd8970 no, it's the same 2 or 3 year of kick boxing = 5 or 6 year of kyokushin, but for kids it's better to begin with kyokushin or kyokushin + judo and where they are near of 16 year old, do 2 or 3 year of boxing or mma.
Love the videos man but…. Hate when folks say “but”. However really do dig the videos. Yes GSP and others have done karate but their wins had almost no karate or any other “king fu” umbrella martial art. There are champs in the ufc that also did ballet, but they didn’t win cause of it.
Wrestling, BJJ, Muay Thai and boxing is what is what wins real fights.
Take your average karate dojo and boxing dojo and have the best guys in a few weight divisions do a full contact spar. Who do you think will win?
Boxing gyms are filled with guys that know how they react when hit really hard in the face/kidney and ribs.
Heck take a high school wrestler and put them against another 16 year old that’s been doing karate for 10 years.
As long as that wrestler knows the feeling and how they react getting hit in the face… the wrestler wins every time.
I’ve seen this play out so many times as a former dumb kid and a school teacher.
Now discipline, breathing, community for kids etc. karate is great. But 12 year olds breaking balsam wood and thinking they can fight can be very dangerous.
Also you was talking about the short stance infact originally karate had shallow stances these are known as SHURI STYLE like wado ryu but shotokan had shallow stances as well before it was changed shotokan being a SHURI OR SHURITE STYLE OF KARATE....
Yeah, it's annoying when people who have practiced karate for 3 months say that karate is not good.
I think the bad rep is from the nests full of McDojos that gives Karate a bad rep. You can’t be too sure whether your instructor is just there to sell belts, or to teach the material. I just know it’d be my personal preference to go for a full contact striking art one day, but I’ll have to see how much free time college gives me.
Only facts 💯
About to go train
Dunno. Let’s ask Lyoto Machida and see what he thinks, or how about GSP?
Tbh I think sport karate has alot to add to a martial artist's journey. Speed, technique, lots usable strikes. ability to spar with control, precision, respect, and longer range weapons. At the end of the day it's a journey, do what's interesting and combine. I mean I have trained in uiechi Ryu for a while, I didn't know if this would ever be applicable in sparring but all of a sudden applications came through. Interesting journey.
It occured to me that as modern internet addicted humans can spend to much time comparing, sizing up, evaluating and not just living. Go and do what attracts you see if there's value and more forward in whatever way makes the most sense - with respect for all those that are willing to show you something, even if you don't think it the best. Life doesn't have to be a constant dick measuring competition and let's be honest martial arts are labels for a set of movements.. human movements... they have more in common than different.
Random speal over
i am doing shotokan karate i am orange belt but we practice sport karate not full contact
I practice karate for 6 years and I go Muay Thai after couple month I go tournament there and destroy everyone very easy .just saying hahaha karate is very good when training properly and I respect all martial arts
What do you think is more effective for selfe defense on street ? Muay Thai or Karate ?
@avereso depends on practitioner. But I can also argue that karate foundation was built apon self Defense and not Sport fighting whearas the muay Thai fundamental are very effective in sport scenario. Really, depends on practitioner
Can't even punch to the head because of karate rules but destroyed Muay Thai fighters. #thingsthathappened
So I don’t know how to punch to the face? Do you even do karate? Who even uses hashtags in 2024 😂 @@MrSaiyan333
I had a really good kickboxing place who didn’t really care about belts or age and would teach us technique and then make us spar and apply the technique in the next
As long as you are not a thicc bodybuilder and know basics in any martial art you already have a upperhand in 1v1 defence situation
Should we stretch every day or take rest days
Maybe take one rest day per week
@@nathearn thank you
i cant raise my legs to head, what is problem. hips or hamstrings?
Could be either imo - it depends on where you feel your legs stop (in your hips/hamstrings) and it’s likely a combination of both. I would say stretch both to get the best results anyway and you’ll probably find out by which is harder to stretch.
So red special ability is to see red?
Yes
Thanks for just saying the truth 🙏
