Great combinations. Sometimes I throw a jab (or maybe a couple) then a Soto Mikazuki Geri, which my opponent would not expect as the distance between us is quite short for a kick, followed by an Oizuki. The first two moves are just diversions. Since the Soto (or Uchi) Mikazuki Geri is rarely used in kumite, this tactic works pretty well for me.
NICE! 🤩 Will try it this sunday 👊 In combination #3: Do you think it might be better if the front hand stays in front instead of being pulled back during the Mae Geri and then doing the Gyaku Tsuki with it? 🤔
First and second... Maybe I prefer the second for the ashi barai... But i have a question for the second combo... I always struggle at doing an ashi barai, since i'm southpaw and not very "heavy" or strong... do you have any tips... Maybe my problem is about the timing... dunno... Cool Video and keep up the good work!!!
@marcoleccese1524 in this case it's about transitioning the weight back and pulling them off balance, it is also timing dependant, if they have too much weight on the front leg it may not be possible.
@@jkgardiner Thank you! Being short, defensive footwork is a big part of my game. I find many people don't understand how moving forward at 45-degree angles right or left can avoid the opponents attack and put you in position to attack them from the angle you created.
As someone that's 5'4-5'5 I usually kick and don't rechamber it all the way back, instead I'll land it to the far side before pivoting there. As a short fighter you can't really be stuck in 1 place since your enemy can just keep his head far and his guard long also put the rear hand infront of yourself instead of the side of you@@Docinaplane
@@4fr345 What style do you train? I ask because kicking an opponent's legs, which I always do, is not allowed in some combat sports rule sets. I try to keep both my hands high ideally.
@Docinaplane taekwondo and karate. I practice taekwondo but since my sensei is in a karate gym I have to train with the others and then train with my coach
Beautiful. Please now try another approach. First combo starts with oye mavashi , which is very fast and powerfull as you do that. Now ask yourself, what is the most often reaction of your opponents to that? They usually step back. Only the most agressive and fast fighters would stay put using uke to defend and probably delivering counter punch simultaneously. As soon as all others step back that turns really problematic to reach them with the following punch. To get more chanses with your punch try another version - after geri instead of simple oye dzuki try cynchronous stance change stepping forward delivering oye dzuki by the other hand. After some drills you will be able to do that as fast as your own combo, your bonus will be 2-3 additional feet while developing your attack (works really good). In the third combo if you apply the same thing after your geri as proposed above you will feel much difference in your favour. Just try to see effect.
Of course, its just a demo, the principles within the movements are what build a habitual response. These need to be drilled at a faster pace and in a variety of situations. These are things I've used.
@@jkgardiner And next step might be learning to read various reactions like you did with maegeri. With maegeri you schooled him to antisipate …a reaction. Different players have different reactions naturally. You just need to read them and use them. I like your stuff.
“Bam!” indeed. Loved it! Gyakus are the best.
3 X KARATE SPARRING COMBINATIONS TO TRY IN YOUR NEXT SESSION

Very nice content again - i love how you come directly to the point always add context at the end
Nice combinations again! Thanks for the video 👍
Thanks, I had grading today and the instructors seemed pretty happy!
This is really good Karate. I will definitely try these techs at my club. Simple fast and effective.
Very academic combinations very well demonstrated.
Nice combos…I don’t see this holding up well against my Ninjutsu though…i’d feel bad for the other guy

Lol
There’s always a lame guy like u in every comment section 😂
Superb technical karate by a brilliant practitioner.

Thanks for your place u take for teach us❤❤
Well done. Great combinations. The best for me is number 3. Left maegeri and right gyaku zuki. It always works because is simplest to apply in kumite.
Simple is most often best.
Good technique sir..
thank you.
Oh hell yeah, dem cocky blue belts are goin down now!
greetings to Nathaniel!
Im too frustrated that idk how to kick in sparring they say I have potential becuz Im taller but idk how to kick right 😭
@@Yassi_gorl I have a video being posted today on how to land the front kick in sparring. Posting at 5pm UK time. Might have some ideas for you.
NICE! 🤩 Will try it this sunday 👊 In combination #3: Do you think it might be better if the front hand stays in front instead of being pulled back during the Mae Geri and then doing the Gyaku Tsuki with it? 🤔
You can try that and see how it goes, just experiment with what works for you. Good luck
Very good!! Oss
Best Karate content on RUclips, thank you brother.
Thank you 🙏🏼
I personally really like, glove grab with the rear hand, step forward a bit and then gyaku zuki
Which one is your favourite?

Do you have any videos on defensive footwork to avoid attacks. Thank you!
I can make one 👍

#2 is vicious
🇧🇷 muito bom. Excelentes tecnicas para kumite
Blessings over blessing ❤🇷🇼
Brilliant stuff John. Very helpful! Osu!
Superb🎉
Wait.. aren't you Nat Hearn's sensei?
Yes
@@jkgardiner That's great, you must be proud of him💪
The third combunation would be more eficiant if you use ashi mae geri. It is more faster.
The kick coming from the back leg covers the distance, you could use the front leg from closer range yes.
I practice that tomorrow evening
1 at 0:30 2 at 1:30 and I already do 3
Second one would be illegal I'm amateur ma sparring
That mawashi was super fast
good combinations to consider

Shotokan made practical? I like what I am seeing.
Other person could continue his technique - slow to show the compination. It looks silly when he just keeps his arm stiff in front of him.
Of course, its just a demo, the principles within the movements are what build a habitual response. These need to be drilled at a faster pace and in a variety of situations. These are things I've used.
@@jkgardiner I do understand it is a demo. It just looks silly.
@LeinonenHannu fair enough. Yes he would in the next step of the drill snap the punch back as he would in reality
@@jkgardiner And next step might be learning to read various reactions like you did with maegeri. With maegeri you schooled him to antisipate …a reaction. Different players have different reactions naturally. You just need to read them and use them.

It doesn't look silly at all from an experience point of view,keep up the good work brother respect from africa
