One of the games we have in my sessions is called 'escape the building'. The 'building' is the mats, and the only way out is passed the guard (me holding a kick shield). The kids have to attack the shield with enough ferocity to force me back, so they can get through the imaginary door. Some of the kids are tiny and simply don't have enough mass to move me so I have to put on the theatricals to boost their confidence. This is all about rapid bursts of explosive power. The idea that kicking the shield once, or kicking, resetting, kicking again won't work, they have to overwhelm me. The kids love it.
Excellent! Carry on!
@@AndoMierzwa thank you sir.
Great advice Ando! I always thought part of fighting was outlasting your opponent, but that does make a lot of sense that in self defense, explosive moves are going to get the job done! now that I think of it, most bad guys aren't going to challenge you to 9 rounds of boxing. they're looking to get those one or two good hits in to lay you out.
I think it’s definitely a good idea to shift the perspective in training from succeeding in sport to surviving in real life. Unless you’re competing for a living! 😁
One of the reasons I think martial arts are good for self defence is based on 30+ years of observation living in the kind of place where a fight breaks out at least once every Friday and Saturday night when out on the town (not me doing the fighting I hasten to add). You see untrained drunks scrapping, and at most it lasts about a minute. It only lasts that long because neither drunk has the skills to control the situation. In martial arts, we learn to bring a situation under control. It doesn't have to involve smashing someone's face, it can be a restraint, or a takedown, to make the aggressor realise they can't win, or if necessary of course there's the precision strikes. But point is, if we train to bring someone under control, then the fight only needs to be a few seconds. On the rare occasions when I've had to intervene, because I don't like seeing anyone get hurt, my martial arts training has paid off in creating peace. It's surprising how quickly the upset drunk calms down when they realise their effort is futile. Remember, not every aggressor is trying to kill you. Sometimes they've just got emotional and made a mistake. We should only beat people up if we genuinely believe there is no other viable option.

Sensei, I have really liked the editing! It was very fun to watch (I am typing from my laptop so dont know how to add ha ha emoji). And thanks for sharing knowledge.
I can never add emojis from my laptop, either! 😄 Thank you for the comment! 🙏🏻
You don’t talk too much, you speak with pure wisdom.
Thank you very much!
Happy to see one of your videos again
Thanks for your patience! 😁🙏🏻
Thanks for the witty and insightful understanding of this important topic.
My pleasure, Maria! Thank you for the comment! 🙏🏻
Excellent distinction!!
Excellent points!!
And, excellent format!! :-D
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! 😁
Loved both the editing and the advice
Thank you very much! 🙏🏻
Great video Sensei Ando! I must ask: wouldn't the ability to run away constitute self defense, hence requiring stamina?
Absolutely! I practice sprints all the time. 😁👍🏼
Perfect topic!
Glad the timing worked out! Thanks! 👍🏼
Tiene toda la razón, gracias por compartir. A veces lo obvio no es tan obvio.
Gracias! 🙏🏻
You are great Sensei!
You are kind, Davide!
Thanks for the advice! I like that you're trying new things with the editing ^^!
Thanks so much, Kurosacha! 🙏🏻💙
Loved it
Thank you very much!
Wonderful video once more 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
I appreciate that. Thank you! 🙏🏻
Love your vids mane😀
Thank you for the kind words, Musa! 🙏🏻
Love your style!!! :)
Always thankful for your support, Gina! 🙏🏻
Your twin brother said it good. Its psychological first, physical after and to be ready to bounce back after an ambush or nasty attack.
Well said! 👍🏼
Excellent. And fun! (Something I haven’t had in my training for awhile now.)
Hopefully, improvement is fun. Even when it’s small. 😁
Brilliant video. First of all respect for the impressive video editing rather you do it yourself or not it's very good. And the advice is very good too. To be honest I was never a fan of running, I got used to do it in martial arts classes but it doesn't mean I like it. I like walking a lot more, sure it takes more time for the body to be warm up enough but I find it more fun. What I also love is swimming, lately I don't do that often but I do walk 3 times a week for an hour. Not chasing after certain time or for distance just for myself. Now of course in a martial arts class there is no time for that, but let me just say that cardio is important for a good health rather than the martial arts themselves. And I hear a lot of people say- "You must be very fast for martial arts!" and it's true that speed helps, but for instance I can't be fast so I use my brain more in a situation and power, I focus a lot on power in both meanings and I can reach an okay speed but not like people who are fast. So the point is and this is my advice- When you know you are lacking in one tool, you better sharpen the rest of your tools to cover up the loss and you will be fine.
Good advice as always, sir! Thank you for sharing. And yes, I edit myself. 😁
Most self defence situations would (should?) Be over within a minute.
The body would use the anaerobic energy system.
Which means you'll be huffing and puffing (and buzzing from adrenalin) after the event..
Fun to watch and great way to point out that training needs to be specific and always with a certain goal in mind. I totally agree with how you justify what is probably more important for martial arts. One point that is missing to me: mobility. Doesn't mean you need to be super mobile for martial arts but I think at least some mobility is also key to martial arts.
Yes, sir! I’m a big fan of mobility as well. Thanks for the thoughtful comment. 🙏🏻
Welcome back, sensei
Thank you, Nelson! 🙏🏻
This was great! :)
Thank you very much, my friend!

@@AndoMierzwa welcome Sir
wow sick
Thanks!
All great points however ya as stated for self defense the Cardio’s gotta be aimed for SPRINTING no rests . Occasioanly I’ll get a long distance run or just workout that focuses on steady pace but 90 percent I train my body to out sprint any fool in the streets . Train hard everyone ! Thanks for the video
I agree, David. Outrun those fools! 😄
Yes you do 100%. Doesn’t matter if the conflict is short. If you don’t have least decent cardio you can’t do the technique.
The combination of stress, mental focus, and physical exertion is just too much not to be in shape.
In shape, absolutely. Just digging a little deeper into what kind of shape. Thank you for the comment! 🙏🏻
I train martial arts, JKD to be exact and I separate both fitness and self defense techniques. If anything I would do fitness workouts that may resemble some of the techniques a little. But as you said a self defense situation is a sprint but I still enjoy working on strength and cardio for its physical and mental benefits.
Sounds like you’ve got it all worked out. Happy training, Travis! 👍🏼
Depends on what martial arts I’d say in kickboxing it is a must
For a class, definitely.
Can you send one of those Ando's to the UK to start a class?
Brilliant stuff, thank you!
HA! 😄 I’ll talk to him.
Add to that everything you do whether it's exercise mental training awareness training martial arts always do it out of your comfort zone
Right! 👍🏼
Good video awesome 👍
Thank you very much, Peter! 🙏🏻

Thanks, Emily! 😄
Hi Sensei Ando I've been watching your videos for years. Thank you - you've put my mind at rest over many issues. I wondered what you thought about doing high kicks as you get older. I know you have done a video about it, but I have a further question. I'm 55 now and have been practicing martial arts since 13. People have always told me not to do snap, thrusting side kicks because it will ruin my knees. I ignored them and my knees are still perfectly fine. When I was young I loved doing them so much I decided I'd face the consequences later when they arose. They still haven't come - YET! My hypothesis is that it strengthens the joints and ligaments - I know many people who don't kick and their knees and hips don't work anymore. I thought you might have some deep personal or passed down knowledge about what happens to the body as you get older - and if some techniques destroy the joints. Which of course is true, but I mean specifically with high roundhouse kicks and the hips and thrust kicks for the knees. Thank you again. Oh and I should add I'm a typical hobbyist, dad training three times a week not Bill Wallace who I know has had hip replacements ect..!
Hi Maurice! Thank you for the kind words! 🙏🏻 If you still enjoy kicking high, I don’t see a reason to stop. The main issue is being reckless with your body and either overtraining or taking too much impact. Even though I don’t focus on high kicks, I still practice them. I think they’re great exercise and a fun challenge for balance and coordination. I just don’t prioritize them like I did in my 20s. Happy training!👍🏼
@@AndoMierzwa Thank you. Yes - I'm finding in older age it's getting the fine balance between not damaging the body by overdoing it, which puts you back, and not going too easy and not making any progress. What's encouraging is that as I get more robust the more I can push to extremes.
@@mauriceshapero7200 Exactly right! We can still make slow and steady progress. A little patience is the key. Keep kicking!
Thumbs up from me😄👍
I appreciate that. Thank you! 👍🏼
Yes. Running is the most important thing for self-Defense. Best defense is to run away :D
If you can, yes!
An entertaining and informative video, Sensei 😊
Also, how you doing? :)
Thanks for the positive review, my friend! 🙏🏻 As for me, I’m on top of the world. Hope you are, too! 😁
In the Army most of the time it is a sprint and I wondered why we did four mile trail runs? Well, if your position gets overrun you may have to a--- out. You also just need endurance to walk around with 80 lbs of gear or constantly sprint to cover. A good warrior trains it all because what you think is going to be quick may turn into a long battle.
Yes, sir! Ideally, train both. You never know what life is going to send your way. Thank you for the comment! 🙏🏻
Ok the two Andos was funny 😆
Glad you liked it! 😁
That Oi got me. Lol
It’s weird, but I laugh, too! Thanks! 😄
My instructors have warned me that our Black Belt test is physically demanding, requiring good cardio and great hydration. I'm 73 and started Tang Soo Do at 68. During Covid I put on an extra 10 pounds that has been hard to lose. Hopefully, the Summer months will allow me to drop a few pounds and increase my activity level.
You can do it, Jerry! Be patient and keep fighting! 👊🏼
There are ways to train for strength without getting too big.
For sure!
Sensei Ando, could you plz make a video on: how to increase ur agility when training alone. I recently joined a BJJ class and I've been beaten every time by everyone for weeks. So I was told to work on m agility at home and work on the techniques at the dojo.
Getting beat up in BJJ is part of the journey, so try to enjoy it! 😄 Until I can make a specific video, make sure to check out my Home Workout playlist. There are some ground exercises in there.
@@AndoMierzwa 😂I will try Sensei. Honestly the only reason I've been going back is because it's very interesting and fun.
🙏Thank you, I will check the home workout Playlist in the meanwhile
@@shawnmakiri4435 Cool! Happy training!
Light jog or speed walk good enough. Your strength or cardio counts for nothing when u get knocked out in 2 seconds, unless you got an open field to run circle
Thank you for the comment!
I am a fan here but my thinking on this one may differ a little. I think ATP level of conditioning is an absolute must for for self defense. Possibly varying from 30 seconds up to 1 minute at a close to maximum heart rate.
I’ll leave the technical details to you science types! 😄 I just know I get more out of practicing sprints then jogging long distance. 🏃🏻♂️
@@AndoMierzwa I watched the video again. The only thing I can think is that I was brain dead the first time I watched it. I agree with you on this aspect of conditioning for self defense.
I have always said I have so bad cardio I have to win the fight in a few seconds. Crapling for 5 minutes, its not gonna happen. Good mae geri to the solar plexus and I walk away, to meditate of course.
HA! 😄 Keep meditating!
Cardio is important I remember hitting the bag for hours it was around 8 months and this guy charge me because I said he's haircut was stupid I didn't have good footwork or know much about combination but didn't need to one hit he fell at my feet I thought I missed I didn't.
Good job defending your haircut! 👍🏼
@@AndoMierzwa but seriously cardio matters 😄
Genius humor! I'm go running anyway
Excellent. Happy training!👍🏼
@@AndoMierzwa thanks coach
Went awesome btw. Walked 3km runned 7km and then walked 2km. Thanks again
@@grigoir Cool!
Learning to deal with elevated heart rate, shortness of breath, diminished muscle coordination from cardio is a little like dealing with a sudden adrenaline surge. For that reason there might there be some benefit?
Always some benefit. 👍🏼
Great video ando and Ando 👀 yeah I'm talking to both of you Ando's 👀 don't forget mastering kissing 🍑 is also great self-defense. You just call them down later when your out of harm's way. Telling about how you really fell about the possible attacker guy 😎
Ha! A kiss would definitely stop me! 😄
very good editing 😂😂😂😂
Much appreciated, Salvatore! Happy training! 😁🙏🏻
Actually I believe cardio could help because you need to wrestle sometimes which could be very exhausting and fighting for fee minutes in some cases. But I understand most fights doesn’t stay that long really.
Cardio is absolutely helpful! Just suggesting some priorities. 🙏🏻
Nah--there are too many ways people will take this video the wrong way. "Why don't I focus on physical fitness? Because I'm training for self-defense and it's better to be aware." Sure--until you actually have to defend yourself. I think there are probably far too many people who will eschew fitness in favor of cultivating "awareness" as though the two are mutually exclusive. Potentially the same crowd who only train throat rips and eye gouges because "I'm not going to bother with boxing in a street fight." I get the intent--that there is a priority to the realm of self-defense and that it doesn't start with being a PT stud. I'm just saying Ando should really have meditated on the lesson while he finished his run.
It’s all about balance, of course. Thank you for the comment!
If you dont breath right you will be out of breath pretty fast 👑
True! Worth some practice. 👍🏼
May I recommend a trampoline park? It’s fun cardio.
I just have to find a time without all those kids bouncing around!😁
Hey Ando Can you make a video on how to increase Kicking power without a Bag?🤔
Hey, Luis! I have a kicking playlist which might help?

Thanks👍👍
Why owuld a person NEED to fight for more than 4-5 minutes.. of 1000 TRANSACTIONS (and you know why I call them that)..NONE have lasted more than a few seconds.. and even multiple attackers didn't last more than a minute combined!!! BUT I DO need the cardio. After my accident (with the trucks) and especially lately- doc told me NOT do do any until he got the pressure down in my bad eye.. and I"M HURTING now-- and it's going to be VERY hard to get back into it..
Patience is a powerful weapon. 🐢
@@AndoMierzwa The one thing I have an abundance of..
haha, well it depends, if you can out run a perp and keep distance by perp getting tired first, then cardio is great for self defense.
ofc having bad cardio is .....bad.....even if you are great at defending, if you get tired quick you are done for, but for training self defense? lol you would need some to not insult your trainings partner :o
Sounds right! Thank you for the comment!
Hmm, I dunno.... The first rule of Zombieland after is CARDIO.
If I need cardio, then I will decide. It's my body and I know very well what it needs. I don't understand why people try to become Doctors, for heaven’s sake.
Absolutely no reason you cannot have explosive power and endurance.
Absolutely. 👍🏼
