In this video I’m going to share some key principles from different martial arts that I feel have great relevance and application to climbing. These will include both overarching concepts to very specific techniques. If you climb or practice martial arts, I hope you find these insights to be helpful, and ultimately make you think a bit deeper about how inter-related everything is.

Step 1: karate chop the hand hold.
Step 2: high kick the high heel hook
Step 3: fly off the wall and hit the ground
Step 4: submission
I've never snorted cookie out of my nose before, but I guess there's a first time for everything 😂 absolutely dead at this
Deadpointing and kicking off a smear = best short-person climbing hacks I know, especially since I'm still in the process of building lock-off strength. I've been told I climb spicy (since I deadpoint on lead a lot), but I just see it as leveraging my momentum to make up for my lack of reach.
Would be interesting to see you climb
SAME. I really just don’t have the reach no matter how much I stretch and I’m quite flexible. It’s definitely more tiring but what can we do..
100%! At 5 foot flat, I constant I have to deadpoint what is intended to be static. Watching break downs of Jain Kim's climbing really helped with seeing and implementing pushing off the back foot.
I watch a lot of climbing channels, but yours is, by far, my favorite. I love the way you make certain concepts easy to understand. Keep doing what you do 🙌🏾
Thanks for the video. I practice both climbing and bjj. There are so many parallels. Anytime I have a revelation in one, I improve the other as well.
thanks for the beta for the start of that black v4 @2:33. I was wondering how to do it better lol
These are just the very basic things you can apply to climbing. Martial Arts is everywhere if you search for it. BJJ teached me so many things that apply to real life. How to solve a problem and the thinking process behind it, being disciplined and keep on going when things get difficult, getting crushed by better people over and over again and still keep the moral high and on the other side learning how to behave when you are superior to someone, wether its technique wise or strengh wise. I could go on for hours and as you can see, these things do not only make you a better martial artist or better climber, but a better person.
Thank you for sharing. These videos are not just sharing the superficial techniques, but the zen of climbing. I benefit from a lot of your videos !!!
Dude thanks for the tips, it was great meeting you the other week!
Thanks for making this video, you are brilliant! I believe anything encompassing a whole body awareness will be of great benefit to other activities of the kind and to life in general. After having done Kendo, Aikido, meditation, yoga, dancing, riding and skateboarding (it really hurts), I found climbing some time ago. I am now very fascinated by how much i progress from session to session, although I think this is because climbing has a very rewarding learning curve for beginners. But I also experience myself as talented, the delicate movements of balance feels very natural to me. I am very happy to have found this in climbing, I didn't expect it for some reason.
That was fantastic, thank you! Love your vids - so well thought out and prepared.
Great video. Your commentary is delivered so clearly and consisely. Position before submission is excellent advice.
Yes, finally a new video! I think dance and martial arts are the activities/sports closest to climbing, imo
So funny, it was 2 days ago that I was trying to explain to my mom about how dancing helped me with Krav Maga and then both helped with climbing. It’s all the same!
As my old roommate (who was a dancer) always said, “my first partner is the floor”.
Watching your video gave me gratitude for what Martial Arts gave me as a whole in my life. I see also how since last year how much climbing teaches me. Efficiency, mindset, body awarness, self-reliance. It's just another spin of what Marial Arts, and it's beautiful. Thank you for illustrating it well.
Great video thanks for uploading it! My two favourite hobbies are boxing and climbing and this has connected them for me more than you can imagine
awesome video, really insightful connections. will definitely keep this in mind next time im in the gym!
A beautiful essay in video format with excellent citations. Bravo!
The intro to this video felt so calming. Thank you for that moment of peace!
Great video thanx :)
I just finished Vagabond last week. The intro to this video had me so shook. Awesome connections and ideas!
Very interesting point of view and visualization!
I have been pushing climbing on my bjj students for a long time. Breathing under body tension, the plyo, staying calm while under duress. So many cross training points.
Very nice analogies. Thank you for sharing.
One of my favorite one of your videos
Great video! I myself acutall made a comparison between brazilian jiu jitsu and climbing, at one of the bjj classes I gave to my friend a few weeks ago. This is on point and really makes sense! Great video really!
Awesome video! I'm surprised that BJJ and climbing aren't associated more often, they are extremely complementary! And a Musashi reference? Yeah boyyyyy!
I used to train BJJ and have done a tiny bit of wrestling and boxing. I ended up starting bouldering last year, after I chose to put a pause on close contact activities. Interesting video, I miss jiu jitsu because of the endless number of techniques there were to learn and comps to train for-also that the wall doesn’t fight me back, haha. Roof problems and rockovers and heelhooks quickly became favorites. Funny how some of the words are shared (with different meanings)-heelhooks, kneebars, figure four…
very useful ! thank you!
The idea of integrating philosophy into sport has always generated amazing results. Amazing video!!
As someone who did Karate for 12 years and now into bouldering, this video was immensely interesting. Although Karate was never mentioned, all the points were something I am familiar with and ingrained into that martial art. As usual, lot of useful information to think about and to apply in my next gym visit. I started about 8 months ago and I feel all the progress I made so far is thanks to your videos. Keep up with this amazing videos!
Great Great Great video!
Interesting. Thank you.
I appreciate your analogy
Great video! I’ve been telling my friends about these similarities for a while now
Thanks for this video and the other I've just discovered on your channel !!!
I practiced judo and aikido before bouldering and I often borrow concepts from martial arts to apply them to climbing.
- Connection with the ground
- Relaxed upper body
- Movement comes from the hara (abdomen, it helps me to apply twists without ever hearing about it)
- Breathe continuously (e.g. inhaling during light movements and exhaling when pulling arms or pushing legs)
- Use the movement to advance further rather than fight against (do not stop between each "position" but take advantage of the pendulem/momentum and the kinetic energy)
- And if we talk about budo then we should also talk about determination and never surrender ;)
Very well made!
I have been practicing jiu-jitsu for 8 years and have recently gotten into climbing; for 3 months now. The parallels between the two are the reason I have fallen in love with climbing the same way I love jiu-jitsu.
Great vid bro
BJJ and climbing indeed feel very similar to me. More so than boxing, but thats probably because my dynamism is way less sharp than my controlled movement and body positioning. Makes sense now.
Did martial arts all throughout my childhood. Done Jiu Jitsu now for a few years now in adulthood and just recently having started to climb in the last year. I feel like taking on problems that are beyond my present ability to handle on the wall is similar to taking on higher belts in the gym where it’s not so much a competition between two parties but moreso a battle of self to problem solve and get to a better position. That spirit carries over for me.
For anyone wish to learn the art of boxing for entertainment, you can watch the anime/manga Hajime no Ippo. Nuances of boxing techniques are explained like what is called "snapping" in this video, and the force is driven using big toe.
excellent!
I think martial arts translates into climbing really well. I interviewed someone who did kung fu for years and was bouldering 7a/V6 on his first session. He understood movement! As mentioned in the video interview, he also had iron fingers haha
Seems that the climbing basics follow the principles of the developmental patterns in Mind Body Centering (Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen) practice/technique. I think Mind Body Centering would provide a great foundation for climbing beginners
I am a Judoka first and a climber/boulderer second and yeah some of the higher philosophical aspects transcendents the art and can be applied to all aspects of life. Further the method of acquiring a skill and kind of mastery in one art can help you understand the process of acquiring the skill in the other. Very deep this stuff indeed

Maybe I'll add one more, hips engagement. if your hip is not engaged you can''t connect with the ground and will not generate power cause power come from the ground and need a strong connection to go through your body. By extension lower your shoulder, elbow in line, etc... in short, all connection point (joints) in your body need to be strong at the right timing.
Please note -in karate, power does not come from the ground. Power comes from the hips. The legs and feet ground the power. (Studied karate for 22 years, 6 with an Okinawan Grand Master.)
I generally agree with what you say. I practice Qi Gong to a deep level and am a lead climber, I use Qi gong as a warm up and cool down for every session. I start every climb exhaling air and taking a meditative second before starting. My climbing goes hand in hand with Qi Gong, which isn’t a martial art per se, but a link between meditation and physical action, and gave birth to Kung Fu.
The balance between limbs, the emergence of equilibrium, the mental attitude are all the same to me whether applied in Qi Gong or climbing. I once heard a kid as k his dad why would someone do martial art moves before climbing and his dad rightly answer martial arts could be useful for a lot of things...

Can I subscribe twice ?

So honestly, this video is a bit of a miss for me. I don't have a background in martial arts and I don't think I see the value of understanding these climbing concepts with the extra step through martial arts :)
For example, I imagine that many physical sports share the concept of 'letting the power come from your legs whenever possible'.
I didn’t hear the video author suggest anyone learns martial arts in order to be a better climber, just that there are analogies between disciplines. If anything, the title was a bit clickbait.
Sun Tzu: Stay curious, move better and climb smarter.

Exactly. Used to be an interesting channel.
getting real tired of all the attempts at psychoanalyzing climbing, all the sentimental contemplative over thinking bullshit getting attached to it in recent years. basically every climbing film or video now has some overwrought story to tell about the meaning of climbing with some over the top emotional soundtrack. climbing is stupid and meaningless. let it be stupid and meaningless. enjoy it as the goofy oddball thing it is
It's okay you see it that way, but I think everyone can have a diferent take on climbing as a whole
Fellas, is it gay to be thoughtful about a sport that fascinates me
If you think of it as stupid and meaningless it’s fine, just let others feel whatever they feel about climbing. Stay chill ✌️
