Martial arts give us the opportunity to climb out of our darkest descents, and then it sends us soaring upward.
That’s what this video series is about, and I’m so excited to share with you Episode 1 of Legendary Striking.
All of you hold a special place to my heart, and with mental health issues at an all time high around the world, this is for all of you.
Martial arts has brought us peace and made our struggles more tolerable.
It is only through martial arts that I am able to draw parallels to psychology and philosophy.
At the heart of it, this is what I want Legendary Striking to enable: seeing more beauty in martial arts (through technique / history) and transforming the life of a martial artist (through psychology / philosophy).
The Meaning of Striking Breakdowns: I’m often asked what my logo means…
The etymology of 靜 is made up of two words: 青 means “youthful”, and with it usually comes immaturity and a lack of wisdom. 爭 means “to war”, to fight for, to contend, to struggle, and to strive.
When combined, 靜 itself can mean stillness, calm, quiet, peaceful, and tranquil. That’s what martial arts has meant for me.
Through my struggles, martial arts has been a vehicle for maturity and anti-fragility.
It has helped unleash more of my potential, and it continues to do so in ways I could never have imagined.
Martial arts has brought me my most treasured connections and it continues to give me peace. By creating content in martial arts, I’m hoping that it does the same for you.

People who only see violence or fighting i reference the bruce lee quote about the finger pointing to the moon. The surface stuff is the finger don't miss that heavenly glory
Just watched the video on Thailand. I would love to go there and visit there "women of the night" and "teen girls of the night" it looks very fun
Thanks for narrating these videos with your own voice, instead of the earlier computer voice, the emotion and passion in your voice for Martial Arts really comes across and lends gravitas to your new videos. Keep up the great work!
Thank you sir. 🙏
@@rampantmantis2788 you are welcome 🤘
I started my journey into martial arts at age 47 which shows the flame of the warrior spirit can still be ignited any time in life.
What style did you start?
I’m happy for you my friend. I’ve been doing martial arts since I could remember. I fought mma before it was called mma and after. I broke my neck in training at 37. I’m 43 now but I have so many health problems now I have not been to class in months. I wish you a safe but challenging journey. I only say challenging so that your progress is not only successful (whatever that is to you) but also consistent. Be safe WARRIOR.
Strength and Honor 🙏🏻
This is inspiring. I've been learning basic strikes and combos from RUclips but hope to have a formal teacher next year. Starting the path at 29
@@thebaneking4787 I hate myself. I thought weightlifting was the way to be a stronger fighter, so I wasted years of my life lifting. I did however gained confidence from it. I do have a very small martial arts background when I was a kid though.
@@bizznick444joe7lifting weights does make you stronger and healthier and surely taught you some valuable lessons. Your investment into it is anything but a waste of time. The self hatred is.
My mother died in March and I went to the darkest recesses of my mind. Crippling depression from the moment I woke up to the moment I went to sleep. She was a badass marine that passed down her warrior spirit and her values of integrity, determination, and courage to me. As I began to meditate on many of the lessons she taught me throughout her life, I became more motivated to return to my muay thai training as an outlet for a lot of the emotional energy that's been pent up within me. I've been training in martial arts for 14 years, not simply because it's fun or because I meet so many amazing people. It's because every time I finish a training session or a fight that I had been preparing months for, I feel an overwhelming sense of purpose. It gives me the drive to keep pushing even when it feels like my entire world is collapsing. It helps me keep the spirit of my mother alive because I am connecting to the same essence that she connected to in order to give me a better life than she had. Thank you, mom. And thank you Lawrence Kenshin for this beautifully made video. ❤
Sorry for your loss bro.
Condolences
Keep striving man I’m sure your mother would’ve wanted you to! Love and peace ✌🏽
RIP to a real one, and may you overcome your grief and emerge a stronger person 💪✊💯
Totally understand how you feel, I lost my mother at age 10 due to cancer & having a younger brother to look after, as my father worked long hours.
Martial Arts and Sports in general gave me the mental and physical strength to not only strive but thrive in life. I still miss her every day but Instead of focusing on the negative feelings on her passing, I focus on the positive feelings we had together for those short few years.
As in life there are only two certainty’s: death and taxes and so over the years the pain has been replaced with acceptance as you can’t fight against the natural order of the world, as what is will eventually come to pass
One of the best decisions of my life was entering a Muay Thai Gym almost 20 years ago!!!
can u explain your transformation
@@andreharris144 in short: I was an unfocused, cigarette- and weedsmoking, partying, out-of-shape person with no real goals, now I'm disciplined, in way better shape than 20 years earlier, don't smoke, have studied and feel comfortable with myself...as long as I can do sports at least 4x a week ;)
A lot of people will simply not understand how "fighting" or as we call it martial arts, helps battle mental issues. The greatest form of my human existence was through the expression of kickboxing or jiu-jitsu. There in the aforementioned did I find peace and calm. which to those whom have never, could never comprehend. Thank you for your work sir.
I have always found Martial Arts so hard to expain to others around me, but this video is truly inspiring and will help me make others understand the depth of it.
Thank you.
I'll admit I first studied martial arts so I didn't get my ass kicked but as time went on I gained alot of things friends,rivals, even a brother and made it my goal to constantly improve so I can protect those who can't protect themselves now some people will be like "This guy watches way too much anime" but I don't care anime specifically martial arts anime can instill into someone the importance of constant training and hard work to hone your skills. Now out of all philosophies in martial arts one sticks by me greatly "Your fists never lie" it means the truest form of communication is from challenging your opponent to a good fight a person's true intentions come from how he throws his fists hearing it sounded but it stuck by me for some reason and I never looked back
I always look forward to your next work of art!👏🔥☝️
thank you a lot koko
I started training in Kung Fu when I was 14, at which point, I was in a very bad place of mind. I convinced myself I was a loser, that I would never be successful. But after I started training, that changed completely. Everything there, the students, training methods, and especially my Shifu, helped me overcome that mindset and helped me realize that my fate was not set in stone. It was their that I really started to understand that things I looked down on, like the concepts of community, family, and belonging were things that could help instead of hurt. I owe everything I am and who I am to my Shifu. And I want to teach martial arts and help people the same way I was helped. Also, like the person speaking in this video, study psychology and see a correlation between the two. So I intend to combine the 2 practices into one
I'm a simple man. I see a new Lawrence Kenshin video, I click on it.
Picked up mma after 7 years thanks to Covid and I still got it.. but the pain of lost time gets to me 😭
I know what you mean man. If you can find a time machine
Martial Arts gave me a life, responsibility, character, a standard to uphold, a social circle, the chance to travel, qualifications, access to a unique and slowly disappearing culture. Hopefully it leads me to be a good dad too 😊
Bravo mr lawrence. Masterpiece.
Much love Jose
Martial Arts, in whatever form or discipline, is at the most basic level a physical and mental exercise of self improvement. Calm under pressure, pressure to become something better, better due to rigorous training, training to become calm under pressure - and the cycle continues.
Very nicely put!
This was GREAT.THE power of martial arts ARE awesome.
I'm going to use this to convince my mom to let me do MMA. Thanks!🔥
cheers
Thank you for all the hard work. I greatly appreciate your dedication to the Martial Sciences. Keep it up. Cheers.
Thank you for the support, much love.
Holy shit I forget how much I love Martial Arts, share training with friends, learn, teach others, suffer but satisfation after every sparring, training... evol everyday grow in many ways.
Thanks for rememind me that unforgettable thing inside my soul. Martial Arts saved my Life 12 years ago.
:*) martial arts is one of the most beautiful things I know in life.
3 years ago i had a back injury, i got depressed because i couldnt train normally for bodybuilding like i used to, through videos of shaolin monks i became interested into martial arts and it helped me tremendesly to overcome my senseless being. I feel now like an anime character and keep training, soon will join a Kickboxing gym. Martial arts gave me a new perspective i am so much grateful for. My back also has healed because new understanding of movements.

Fighting is not destructive, it's a way towards peace. I hate how my parents didn't let me do any impact sports. But I will start mark my words.
Amazing piece here sir. Much respect for all your work and knowledge you share with us.
Thank you .
thank you so much
I haven't started my MA journey yet, but just doing some shadow boxing it started to effect my mind. You just feel like you can stand up to anyone. With how more peaceful people have gotten as well there's nothing to fear of an attack until it comes. MA will make you a better person. I used to spite people a lot more when I was younger, but not anymore. I see people much more frail and weaker than me therefore I don't feel like I have to prove anything to them and in fact can take care of them.
I have no martial artist relatives... knew nobody who even slightly cared about martial arts but from as far as my memory reaches... fighting... wrestling... Bruce Lee... Jackie Chan were intruiging whilst western heroes shooting guns and driving cars did nothing for me. Hand to hand combat has touched me since I was too young to know what that means. Some of us definitely are born to be martial artists.
Fantastic video.
Idk who I'd be or where I would have ended up in life if it wasn't for martial arts. It's much more than a competition or a fight to me. It is very much a part of my mind, body, and spirit.
You know, at the start of this video, for the first time I was wondering what the logo’s all about. Then he addresses it. Great work as always Mr Kenshin. Looking forward to more vids on this series.
I’ve been thinking lately and I’ve find out that mental issues was due to the fact that all my life i was afraid of standing for myself I didn’t have the money to train when i was a kid so I continued my life that way i know I have a spirit of warrior I thought i was peaceful till last week i had a fight with my brother it the first time ever we fight physically and it end up by me kicking his ass from that moment I realized what if that was someone else that is ready to harm me ? why I’m afraid? Why I’m anxious? i figured out that i need to learn how to fight and i started shadow kickboxing that one thing changed a lot and i decided to go for kickboxing and judo for a start which me luck and i hope everyone can find them true self and spirit of the warrior as every man should be
Just got back from training. I feel great.
love the content man
much love
without martial arts I wouldn't be here...
Very good, thank you!
Awesome
thank you
Dustin poirer was who made me realise this. He has become a complete fighter and in his last 2 interviews it's clear he is a complete person too, fighting is even more psychological than people realise Dustin is unshakeable mentally and physically most couldn't have survived what hooker did to him and even less could've reversed it and won.
Started fma specially balintanwak five weeks, just a week after the gyms. Started opening back up. I miss the order and chaos. And losing myself in mushin.
Finally!!! It's been way too long my old friend
Alright comments section I need your help. I can’t find a video that I’m 99% sure LK posted but I can’t seem to find it. It was a Muay Thai vs Sanda stylistic breakdown that featured a Sanda fighter that had beat several Muay Thai champs, but was then beaten by (if I remember correctly) Nokweed Davy, or Kiataongrit. If anyone knows what I’m talking about and could point me in the right direction that’d be great 🙏
Yes!!!
I feel I need to train.

@Lawrence, What is the name of the Psychologist you referenced?
Hello. Thanks for your content thats one of the best related to striking. I have another question: As you are using mostly copyrighted footage, is there any problems
that arise? I mean, have you been ever sued, are you able to monetize your channel etc. You don't must answer all these questions, I just need an advice if this falls
all under the fair use policy as I am planning my on documentary about the sport in Cambodia and I would have to use stadium footage as well. I hope you to see this question and
will answer me. Anyways, keep up the good work and good luck :)
Kenshin can you make a video about shin breaks and why you think they happen in muay thai and how to avoid it? Cheers.
Bruce lee is my heart my life my everything my only dream in this life to become mma champion and have the nickname (The WATER BRUUUUUUUUUUUCCCLEEEEEEEE)😑❤
Martial Arts such as FMA and Krav Maga got rid of my boredom in this pandemic. On top of that, it's a productive thing to do while waiting for this pandemic to end.
Same, what fma you studying. Mine is balinawak love it already even do i suck
@@mrmushin1 You can do it bro. I'm a Yaw-Yan practitioner.
Cobra Kai is the opposite, they would always strike first and finish the fight before their opponent even and if ever got the chance to defend themselves and fight back.
🙏🙏🙏
Martial art is a weapon to fight external enemies yoga is a weapon to fight inner enemies
I like the content very much but I disagree
8:00 my life 😑❤
Kmu tidak kering...kurang makai janik..mana tidak?
Bruce almighty Yellow Lee privilege.....like Rittenhous🎪self defense.
Great vid man, if it wasnt for martial arts, I would of been a overweight narcissist through out the rest of my life. And it all started with a simple gift of a punching bag I didnt even ask for...
Keep up the good work!
thank you sharing brother
No doubt I'm here because of Martial Arts. It has changed my life completely, now I'm changing people's life 🙏
I attribute taekwondo and Krav Maga with pulling me out of one of the lowest, darkest moments of my life after a breakup of 9 years. I’ve always done personal development work so I went straight to inner child Lars and asked him what he wanted-he wanted to do martial arts. I went to every single facility in my city knowing that one of them, when I stepped in, would feel like home. It was literally the last facility. I walked in, watched 2 mins and signed paperwork and got on the floor. I haven’t turned back sense. When I don’t go to class, I can tell mentally. No one really gets that this isn’t a hobby for me; this is a lifestyle. It’s given me more than I’ve ever known. And introduced me to some amazing people. I’ve competed without being a competitive person. I’ve sparred and hate to fight. And every time, what I’ve called The Bear, comes alive and gets fulfilled.
This video is simply a masterpiece, I started practicing martial arts at the age of 18 until then I was very nervous, after a few months of practicing muay thai I became a totally different person, really martial arts have the power to get the best out of ourselves
Damn I actually cried, goosebumps all over my body .... am I the only one?
Why You Are A Warrior IS your best video to date! It truly explains everything that is missing in most fight-related YT channels. Thank You So Much Kenshin for this!!! 🙏
Martial Arts saved my life... It still continues to on a daily basis wether I'm pain or strong again the will to survive is greatest when defeat seems inevitable.
Martial arts allow us to reclaim some aspect of our humanity that is somewhat lost in modern society. Our ancestors survived a much harsher world, they were optimized to face many dangers from predators, natural disasters, to the threat of other humans. Every man in the tribe or village better learn to fight because in low technology battles, numbers mattered greatly. Your reputation and social status was determined by your reliability in battle which proves your commitment to the protection of the tribe.
If you want to keep a good standing in the community, you also had the obligation to defend your honor when your reputation is threatened. Even up to the modern era, duels were very common in many human societies. Of course, it such a society, every one must be ready at any point to fight. From David and Goliath, Miyamoto Musashi to Andrew Jackson, this is how we use to be.
I was struggling at university and joining the Tae Kwon Do club really helped me to find my feet. Uni still wasn't for me, but I gained a huge amount from martial arts at the time.
I moved on to tai chi, which lead me to Zen meditation, and I also became a counsellor. I even use some tai chi with my clients to help them engage with their body in a safe way.
No, thanks mostly to this channel, I have started at my local Muay Thai gym, looking for some more solid warrior skills.
Thanks for all the amazing content.

Love this...I can honestly say that if I have not been a lifelong martial artist-I probably would not be alive today (now 49). And your channel was a big part of keeping that passion for martial arts going.
That was a beautiful video. Thank you for making this.
This is why you are one of the best martial arts channels on RUclips. Thank you Lawrence
thank you brother
Awesome video.
Lovely message but the way it is read + the music = Sedative. Try a different style next time cause this kung fu is restaurant panda.
Human is a human. Mockey is a mockey... All due Respect.
How can you tell an MMA channel got too far up its own ass? They start talking about the great actor Bruce Lee.
Great episode, so inspiring and factual 👏🏼🙏🏼❤️
Agreed martial arts I think help save me from myself, as someone who suffers from depression it really did help me when I was younger and it still does.
I love these videos... keep em coming brother!
Such a beautiful video ❤🙏
Wonderful video. Cheers
Less go
thank you
