so.. you're hiring?
Seems like you are more than capable to make up your own makiwara and maybe the hojo undo weights for body conditioning, like in Okinawa
yo seth, i really like what you said about sumo. that is also one of the most important factors in aikido that i dont think ive ever heard ever mentioned by people who dont practice it.
i learned practical aikido. so against resisting opponents. the first six months of training was literally just sitting down until i couldnt be pushed or thrown. seems simple but im sure youve done something similar.
and that is really the only time aikido would be used in the real world. when somebody is trying to move you.
hostage situation, somebodys trying to relocate you with a knife or gun. or just trying to push you or pull you someplace.
everybody acts like "that wont happen in a fight" no, but people will try and drag you someplace before they beat and rob you.
or if they see you go to pull a weapon "then the bad guy is magically, grabbing your arms like would never happen in a real situation"
but yeah, sorry for the rant. but its strange hearing the most important lesson in aikido attributed to sumo. very similar and quite a few aikido books use sumo as reference also.
Bro is batman💀
I really enjoyed watching you go from art to art and getting your butt kicked lol just kidding. It takes courage to put yourself out there the way you did. You are the best!
This is the reason Sensei Seth is by far one of the most fun people to watch in this community: we don't just learn from his teaching, we learn from his learning. The mind is fresh, the attitude positive and open, unafraid to be goofy, even his smile and speech are so welcoming. Sensei Seth puts the fun back in martial arts.
i was impressed with his capoeira episode! he started doing some acrobatics!
Well said
@@nickfry7839 ikr!
Hunnit pacent 100%
"The best part of the process isn't usually being good at it. It's being able to do it again tomorrow."
-Sensei Seth
That's a hell of a quote
Put that on a t-shirt!
T-shirt, T-shirt, T-shirt!!!
great quote absolutely
Gold nuggets
Really love your videos and how open minded you are in your approach 👍
Yo look who it is!
Yooo! Thank you sir! Big fan
Collab when?
@@Edu-lu2wk yep i think a collab is a great idea
@@SenseiSeth I think it's time for Seth to learn the Shaolin style.
Seth is hands down, my favourite martial artist. I love that you are fostering a community of ALL martial arts, not just those you favour. It's easy to get caught up in popular sports and to poo poo others, but Seth finds an outstanding balance of respect and criticism. Keep on doing what you do, my guy!
I thought your favourite was bruce lee 🤔
@@rifaeerasheedh5166 Seth is the 2023 version of Bruce Lee. YA I SAID IT!
@@mattbeaulne2516 modern day Bruce lee
Some of the things i learned in the styles i've practice are
-Karate: Repetition makes perfect but it isn't always how it's going to come out but is better that something comes out rather than nothing at all
-Taekwondo: If you can get kick in the face you deserve it.
-Boxing: Just because something works really well in some scenarios doesn't mean it works well in everything.
-Judo: Doing everything with force doesn't work
-Mma: Just because you are good at something doesn't mean it works every time but sometimes being good at one thing is better than sucking at several things.
-Jiujitsu: There can be a lot, A LOT of things to learn but sometimes one or two things is good enough
-Wrestling: Hard work pays off hard.
I’m going through a hard time in my life right now and because of that I no longer feel I can train but watching your videos keeps my hope up that one day soon I’ll feel able to step foot in a dojo again. Thanks Seth for your videos.
Training isn’t the same for everyone, whatever you CAN do is your training 🙏
Same here 😢
Hey, Andrew, you got this. It's the same for me. Never give up. Take it a day at a time. But you probably know that. Because you got this 😀😃😄
@@jameswhitfield6220 Hey thanks man. I hope everything works out for you.
@@SenseiSeth thanks for the reply and thanks for the motivation. It’s awesome getting a reply from you.
What I've loved most about this is the community that's formed up between guys like you, Icy Mike, Wonderboy, Kevin Lee, Jesse Enkamp, and the many others with their own channels who collab with you. It's a very wholesome group that just gets together and shares tricks openly for the benefit of teaching others. Honestly someone should crowd fund a short film where you guys get to choreograph fights between each other using your favorite moves and whatnot.
I second that!
Their collabs are legit interesting, insightful and fun indeed
nicely said!
You really bring open mindedness to the space of martial arts online. It is cool to see all the creators collaborating and showing cool things off, being nice to each others, it has not always been the case in martial art culture. I'd be cool if you try kendo sometime, you would have some fun :P Since I broke one knee it's pretty much all I can do safetly but I really enjoy it now.
I would love to try kendo, I just haven’t found a place yet
I train Wing Chun and Judo (and used to train Shukokai) and honestly, I have so much fun with sparring with boxers or Muay Thai practitioners or having a throw/roll with a BJJ dude even when I’ve clearly lost simply because it’s experience and I love the stylistic match ups haha, love the videos Sensei, hope you carry on trying things out! 🥋 🔥
Seth, you're a major inspiration for me. Thanks to your videos and seeing you try things, it has pushed me to finally follow my dreams of being a martial artist. Thanks for your amazing videos.
Thanks for letting me be a part of it!
Thanks for your help!
I love how open you are about your own learning processes. It's so refreshing and valuable. I don't practice karate myself, but I take away so much from these videos to my own practice.
I haven't seen anybody make a full video just enjoying the journey of learning all sorts of martial arts and skills... AND do it so well. Awesome job Sensei!
One of the most fun parts of doing multiple martial arts for me has been seeing the similarities and differences and how it all comes together, as you said! Thanks for doing this and sharing your takeaways. 🙌
Great video and cool message!!! Happy to have been a part of your journey!
Sensei Seth.
Judo black belt here, who also train in BJJ and Muay Thai. I have to say your summary on Judo is spot on. Away from all the throws and all the choke and stuff...the single most important thing Judo taught me is balance on my feet. And it has helped me improved my skiing, rock climbing, even my swimming etc...
This is such a cool vid and all those 28 episodes are interesting. Awesome job!
Good conclusion 😁
Glad that you figured out what are the most important things in life:
1 always keep on going, never give up
2 life is not perfect but you can always improve your self
3 be thankful for what you have and for the people in your life
4 have fun 😊
That was so good and the end was rather touching. When I first started watching your videos I was a cripple suffering from the effects of a useless liver and just watching you do what I love with humor and intelligence is one of a few things that got me off my futon and try to get back my life
The luck on your journey
Well done. I totally enjoyed tagging along virtually for some of the journey. Bravo.
This, right here, is what martial arts is all about, thank you Sensei Seth for sharing your experiences and making us feel like a part of it
Hands down, one of the absolute best channels on RUclips. Thank you, Seth for being yourself, putting in the work and being generous and a regular guy who I’d love to hang out with.
I thought you were going to get emotional at the end, very inspiring man. Keep on. Martial Arts are beautiful, it's all about the struggle, learning & growing.
This is easily one of your best videos man! Im glad you're able to represent the martial arts community in such a great open minded way!
This is one of my favorite videos you've done. It's a good way to reflect on martial arts as a whole and life itself, with of course your usual nuggets of humor thrown in. I've only dabbled in a few martial arts here and there and currently train BJJ (just a white belt at the moment) but this video inspires me to train more.
I have to say, this editing is amazing. The overarching story of your woodworking project tied with each martial art... This video is a work of art! Great job Sensei :).
I love your construction project as a metaphor for martial arts - You have an idea in your head of what you're trying to achieve, you use the tools and knowledge you have to try, but fail. But then for every failure is another time you got up, learned, and tried again. You may succeed at your goal and you may not, but the journey makes you better and fulfills you.
Favorite video so far. I feel like I am the type of person that learns a little from everything in order to improve as a whole. This distillation of the brightest points in each martial art is exactly what I love about life.
Thank you for everything Seth, can't wait to see more, especially the trying of other arts.
Fantastic video. Always love your balance between just doing fun stuff and enjoying it but also being a bit thoughtful and reflective
You're living dream for sure.
Thanks for sharing it with the rest of us.
Never met you nor I probably will, but you truly are an inspiration, Seth. And a clear proof that good guys can make it in this world. Wishing you all the best and cheers from Macedonia!
I've recently taken my first martial arts (boxing) class after watching your channel for about a year, and am having so much fun. Am even considering taking classes in a grappling art too. Thank you for inspiring me!
One of the coolest videos you've done. Love it when you are in a reflective mood
Man skilled or not, being able to claim that you've learned 28 different Martial Arts is still one hell of a pedigree.
Is that supposed to be nice? Lol
@@SenseiSeth he just roasted you and tried to pass it as a compliment
Backhanded compliment. 😂
@@SenseiSeth Whoops my bad it wasn't meant to come off condescending, I was trying to say that even though it's unfeasible to get super good at every single martial art, the fact that you actually bothered to try so many is pretty badass on its own
Well, Batman "officially" learned 127, so there's still a long way to go
The safety goggles make you look like a offbrand version of Riddick
Oh… I mean, as far as comparisons, this one hasn’t hurt my feelings the most?
@@SenseiSeth Lol which one did insult you the most?
Was awesome seeing your perspective on martial arts, thanks for the video!
I've been happy to be apart of this journey with you Sensei. I know you have plenty more in store for us.
An amazing overlook at the incredible experiences youve had!
The ending is beautiful. Thank you for showing your way
thanks for the video I struggled at school today but this was just a nice calming video that just makes you feel good about your life
I’ve struggled at school plenty of times. It gets better
One of your best videos and definitely the most impactful. I gotta say you’re one of the people that brought me into RUclips martial arts and I continue to learn while also laughing 🥊😂
This video is put together so well I can tell this took a lot of time👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
After trying all those martial arts and still not having found what he was looking for, Seth is now moving on to learning how to play the banjo and make piggies squeal.
Thank you for doing what you do, you're sharing of your experiences give the rest of us your experiences. It's a gift. Thank you.
great video, really like the thoughtfulness about your experiences and how you put them all into context :D
Thanks so much for making this video Seth, it’s been a pleasure to follow your adventures and your videos always put a smile on my face
creative delivery and a practical result came about in making your makiwara. you remind us what it is to do martial arts, which is to "practice"!
I saw what you did there. The learning experiences from the martial arts together with building the punching stand. Nice touch Sensei.
Awesome stuff! Love this honest exploration.
You are definitely inspirational. I can see you'd be a great teacher. Thanks man.
Love the video and the insight you took away from your experience
Super inspiring, especially last couple minutes. Thank you!
Great video as usual. I love the metaphors emphasizing how all these experiences coalesce.
I've only been experienced in little martial arts ( which I need to get back into ) but what it taught me was every discipline has so much to offer then it seems and respect both the styles and those who train in any style.
Thank you for sharing ☺️.
OORAH!! Good on you Seth! Keep living the dream MUCH respect
What a great video! I've been following you for some time now, Seth, and you have been a major inspiration for my own martial arts journey!
Thank you for sharing your great content with us!
I am really really happy for you.
I mean that sincerely and genuinely. Just through and through happy for you.
Jesus Seth - watching you use that table saw made me SO sweaty - like free handing a cross cut... I was just waiting for a kick back!
Thank you for the recap.
Great video- fun and informative. And great hearing about your takeaways.
Love your content, Seth! Fantastic video as always
Such a wholesome video! It's always fun to watch going on that adventures and make great videos like that, thank you
Thank you for all the great content. Love the channel.
Great video, thanks for adding that little clip of me using you as my Uke.
Grat video man!
Congrats for all the learnig and teaching!
I'm only starting to enter the world of martial arts, and videos like these really give me hopes of doing the best that I can. Building something, a skill, a style. My heart sometimes is overcome with fear and feelings of being not good enough, but I know I can still beat them and keep getting better at fighting not only the person in front of me, but the one that I'm controling.
Love your videos.
Never stop learning, Sensei Seth. Awesome effort making your makiwara board
I nearly teared up at the end. Great video Sensei Seth! I wish you nothing but the best on your journey.
I could write an extremely long text about how much help is giving to me your videos during a bad time in my life. But I will just summarise everything saying thank you for share your journey enjoying and learning martial arts. You can't imagine how inspiring and funny is always to watch your videos.
I respect you a lot, as martial artist and as the person that you are. So skilled, humble, open minded and positive. 😊🙏
your content is amazing and you're amazing, thx
you are a such a legend. Every video is video where we learn something and feel good again because of your positive vibes
Im glad you have been trying different styles and made a video for us. For me I have tried/trained 8 different martial arts. When I competed in kickboxing I had chance to try karate and I really loved it and want to go visit gym again.
Your video is really long but also informative. Like u keep the audience hooked without getting them bored! Keep up!
Beautiful video. Thanks!🙏🏾
Really enjoyable video. The fun, exploration and examination all come through. And it was great that you looked at what different styles had to offer and what you got from them. 🙏
I have loved watching these videos. Thank you for exploring and for sharing your insights with your signature humor. Yours is easily one of my favorite channels to watch. JB
❤ your whole video concept, it's actually emotional
Really great video.
Appreciate the videos you post :D
That was epic! I really look for ward to what your charnner might show in the future. Great stuff. Keep it up chef!
love your video sensei seth
Great video dude! I just recently found your channel and I have to say that you're one hell of a RUclips Creator. Too many times have I seen people in the martial arts community be hung up on their own view of what should and should not be, it's refreshing to see someone like you who's willing to try new things, keep learning and have an open mind. Good job! Osu!
Awesome video full of wisdom. Thank you Seth for producing such meaningful content
This video goes hard, great work 👏
If there is anyone who fits the title of "Sensei", it's you Seth. Thank you for being an inspiration.
Your a beast brother. Amazing journey you have went through. Wishing you many more in this new year 💯💪🙌
I loved this look back at each of the martial arts you've tried, and the introspection about what you learned from each, or at least what each emphasized to you through these experiences.
I am TERRIFIED of your woodworking skills, and am moderately surprised you didn't get a massive kickback from that table saw, and hurt yourself.
Thank you for the video.
Absolutely amazing video, made me tear up a bit and reflect back on my own stuff.
Great storytelling! Full of little gems. What a clever conclusion video!
Great stuff! Took me forever to realize what you were crafting, looked good at the end. One of the reasons I keep coming back to your channel is your willingness to try out new experiences and approaches with an open, respectful perspective. It's worth putting up with all the Dad jokes, mostly. ;)
I have a love new of sumo thanks to you and look at it from a different light now so thank you for opening my eyes
Thanks for sharing so much wisdom with us brother.
You were instrumental in getting me back to taking Karate. Thank you for the great videos and laughs along the way.
One of my favorite videos of yours. Good production you did there too. First I went, wtf you doing that’s distracting. But you (literally) kinda tied it together and you had a really good choice of background music to go with it that fit the whimsical approach you took there. Thank you.
Thank you for this video Seth.
Thank you for being one of the best martial arts RUclipsrs out there.
This is a really well thought out video essay. You may not be the best or even good at each of those individual arts, but I think you're a better martial artist overall for it. I think this is the mindset of Jeet Kun Do. You're learning what you can from everything and applying it to how it best suits you. It's practicing a fencer's trust and applying it to the boxing jab. Overall great content. I've personally applied my experience in martial arts to play guitar, it's quite fascinating.
One thing I've noticed about martial arts is you tend to get a different view of martial arts depending on how deep you go. There's a different perspective on something if you've:
-Only heard about it through reputation or through fraud-busting videos.
-Only seen videos about it on youtube or heard your friend talk about it.
-Taken a seminar or taken a trial class.
-Studied it for a short period of time (i.e. measured in months)
-Studied it for a long period of time (measured in years), but at one location
-Studied it under multiple teachers to the point where you've become a master or professor yourself
I have a different experience with Taekwondo (2 Masters, over 13 years of training) than Hapkido (1 master for 8 years) than BJJ (1 professor for a few months). I've gotten a lot more out of Taekwondo and Hapkido, simply because I've trained them longer and have seen the evolution of my technique compared to when we get new beginners, compared with BJJ where I'm still essentially at that level. However, I also feel that in the last 6 months, I've gotten more out of BJJ than I could've gotten out of TKD or HKD, simply because I have a lot more to learn about BJJ than the arts that I'm already comfortable with.
Great job and look forward to more videos. Take care
