I agree that how you walk can help with your martial arts. I try to control my breathing whilst walking, making the out-breath longer than the in-breath hopefully this cleans out any stale air, again this is a tai chi concept! At the same time, I concentrate on relaxing my shoulders to start with, eventually learning to relax my whole body. All I am saying here is that every movement you make you can consciously improve your martial arts if done with this in mind! It sounds simple but I am reminded of a black belt class with a Korean 9th dan instructor, Master Kim Yong Ho who told us that all martial arts are 80% the same, all about relaxation and breathing with the other 20% being the differences in techniques practised by the different arts. he also told us that now we have reached 1st dan he advised us to incorporate one of the internal arts, Aikido or Tai Chi into our practice, I did not understand this as a young 1st dan but I do now. This is one of the reasons I respect your teachings, your open mind to all of the martial arts as one of the things that annoys me greatly is the so-called Sensei's who insist that their art is the be-all and end-all of the martial arts, a ridiculous attitude! Thanks again Sensei Ando, 90% of my current Shotokan class are now watching your online classes after I have explained to them the value of your open-minded lessons!
I started walking just as u taught me.Also now I wear a yellow gi with military camo belt and carry a machette at all times to really look like a martail artist😃
A true master speaking here. Beyond the jokes, this should serve as an example for students to integrate their martial art in every aspect of life. On the way to mastery, they should eventually understand training as self-improvement, not only as a way to win fights...
This is the funniest video I've seen in a while! Who could've guessed I'll find it in the "martial arts section" of RUclips. It all started with a friendly and boosting "Hey, good-looking! which unfortunately can't possibly apply to all of us, and then continued with lots of funny lines and gags. Great video! ...And, yes, I checked under the bed! Safe for now!
First I thought it was a joke video comparing martial arts styles & walking but WOAH he IS TELLING THE TRUTH! lol SMFH because in my 20’s and heavily involved in martial arts I had someone comment on the way I walked by saying “you look like you know KARATE” ! So I had a flashback while watching this & 35 years later I think I’m still walking that way...PEACE!
Ando Mierzwa yea this is what I’m doing as do not have spare finances for a class but LOVE these forms of arts , always have but thought it was essential to be part of a class but heck something on your own is better than no training at all and chances are that when I become better at it I will attract opportunities to spare / do class with others
Hello, i'm from Colombia, I like martial arts and too I practice it, now I'm learning english with this videos for improve my listening skills, nice to meet you Sensei
This does work, he is right. After years of walking like a martial artist, you became much more stable, even on slippery surfaces. It is one of those intangible things in life that people who dont have it dont understand. Yet, it is a much better way of walking. Another one is using "tan tien", your center of gravity or power, in everything you do, all day. It becomes natural and empowers your movements, and helps prevent injuries. Thanks
My wife tells me to stop walking like a martial artist when with her, as she speculates that others around will view me as her body guard; come to think about it, I do everything in a type of martial art way, due what have learned from you Sensei. With the ABC = Always Be Conditioning, where brushing my teeth (for example) is actually practicing elbow strikes...
@Ajax Blair. Consider walking like a single guy. This will attract single girls to you. Look lonely, for example, I would bring a teddy bear with me on bus trips, because of not liking to travel alone. Being creative with signs or props (evoking conversation) being single works, causing curiosity or laughter work best, be interesting to create interset. Don't look for fun people to hang out with rather be a fun person for others to want to be with.
Have I analyzed my walk? Why, yes. Yes I have. Toes pointed forward, head up and eyes on the horizon, I step forward with central balance and push off with the ball of the foot and land with the heel of the opposite foot. With this I vary my speed by the length of my stride and the amount I extend my leading foot on the push off. I can walk miles like this (at age 71.)
This is ancient knowledge, this is what a real master teaches not that stupid Hollywood moves, great and real meanings behind apparently no sense things, take control of yourself first, then control the world around you
Many people don’t walk correctly. Yes Many pull themselves with their quads rather than push off the ground & push with the glutes. Walking is easier when done with good biomechanics.
I think this video explains why I find walking deliberately and mindfully slowly really difficult, it always makes me feel off balance, and now I know why and what's more, what to do about it! Thank you :)
I am not a very experience martial artist but I am a pro vampire killer. To walk like a vampire killer you must first put a leather armor and get a whip. Then you walk towards Dracula's castle like you pooped yourself.
Good stuff. I've made the same point about horror movie villains success rate to my MA friends, and they always look at me weird. Now I can just show them your video; communicate the same info., but now they will be looking at you strangely instead of me! Win - win.
Somebody figured out I do martial arts just by looking at how I walked. I didn’t even realize my training affected how I normally walked. Note: I’ve been training for 8-9 years
I always walk by leaning forward n my parents yells at me for that, at 1st I didn't notice it, I thought they were just kiddin, then I had some spinal problem few years ago, now I know what was wrong, thanks for this video 🙌
This is a good topic not many channels cover and I personally many years ago at the beginning of my training noticed as a teenager with lots of energy my long stride sometimes left me off balance when caught by surprise, so I began to focus on smaller steps and keeping my body weight even rather than leaning back or forward also how my feet pointed out I made a conscious effort to walk slower with my feet pointed straight forward. Body language says alot good points you made in this video.
Sick and tired of your problematic walking style that invites offense from strangers wherever you seem to go? Turn their attention elsewhere by quick-drawing a handy dandy submachine gun. You'll be amazed at how fast their attention shifts toward quickly correcting their own walking style!
How to walk without getting a fight:Walk with your hand full time.People won't get near you trust me.(Edit:Idk why but my neighbor is looking me walking in slow mo around my house like I am doing a weird things.)
I learned a lot from this video. I rush around a lot; my torso is always out in front of my toes, and I trip and stumble over stuff a fair amount. I chalked it up to me being a klutz. Thanks, Andy! Always great info!
This advice is very true. I mostly walk like that and I know I have managed to avoid falling, and one time when someone had put put rope across the path. Maybe it was just a quick reaction to freeze immediately, but I was saved from serious injury.
check under your bed is frightning. When I was a 4 year old boy a lot of gosts where living there. I guess some good companions now if it comes to fight. Good trainingpartners over all those years. I guess now they hiding under my little awareness of mother earth. They definetly keep this old man in training. And yes..you are still the funny Master. Phil Collins ...its all about the way I walk
This is like saying drive like a race car driver...not going to happen from a video. You'll just observe how race car drivers drive. The way to walk like a martial artist is to dedicate yourself to training martial arts. Good training changes how you walk, your balance, and your awareness.
Excellent video Sir. We were just taking about this last week. My friend attended a self defense seminar because she had an incident. She knows I train and we talked about some of the things that happens when you train and gain confidence. You become more attentive, confident, look people in the eye and feel proud to be alive. Yeah it sounds a little silly but people who train understand the confidence and attentive aura they seem to possess. The seminar she attended explained some of this. Don’t look weak or like a victim. Pay attention, get off your phone, hold your head up and have a positive posture. Gain situational awareness and even think about scenarios as you encounter new situations. Women really need to do this more than men but men should as well. I honestly think once you respect the arts and traditions (maybe a few sparring sessions too) you start respecting yourself and others..... thank you again 👍🏻
As a northern european (Finnish) i would say walking right way especially at winter time saves you from lot of trouble 😄 And so does knowing how to fall 👍
Man I wanna meet you but I'm too far from you cause my enemies have a weapon and I want to fight with my hand to show them who is brave but I'm not ready to fight but please can you make a tutorial video about systema or more effective fighting skills?
