you're right, we are Burger King

Crazy! We were going to have Sensei Cody wear the same fit, but he ended up being too aerodynamic so we had to stick to a normal uniform to give him better control over his incredible velocity and swag

You're so right thank you so much, we will definitely work on these things and become the best pokemon trainer of all Kenneth!

“You may train for a long time, but if you merely move your hands and feet and jump up and down like a puppet, learning karate is not very different from learning a dance. You will never have reached the heart of the matter; you will have failed to grasp the quintessence of karate-do.” - Gichin Funakoshi “Karate is Budo and if Budo is removed from Karate it is nothing more than sport karate, show karate, or even fashion karate-the idea of training merely to be fashionable.” - Mas Oyama Budo, Bugei , Bujutsu should be dignified , not Bastardized “Train the body and develop stamina and endurance. But the spirit of competition and power that presides over them is not good, it reflects a distorted vision of life. The root of the martial arts is not there.” - Taïsen Deshimaru Sports are only amusement ,,,, in the spirt of Zen and Budo everyday life becomes the contest,,,,There must be awareness at every moment-That is the place for mastery of the Self” Taisen Deshimaru “We take refuge in pride because we are afraid to tell the truth to ourselves.” ― Kakuzo Okakura The machinery of competition imposes the monotony of fashion instead of the variety of life. The cheap is worshiped in place of the beautiful, while the rush and struggle of modern existence give no opportunity for the leisure for the crystallization of ideals.

The most normal comment here.

If you're looking for UFC techniques you're on the wrong channel. I think of martial arts as a men's ballet. Even if it doesn't work, it's fun to do, looks cool and keeps you active.

Training technique for aesthetic, check it out: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butterfly_kick

Tricking isn't for combat sports, it's for fun and TV.

Understood! Just a performance technique, used in an art called wushu. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butterfly_kick

Movies and television

@@VictorIsSaved I figured. Looks alright, but my thought was that it leaves a lot of openings and takes a lot of room and time.

Wushu technique, look it up :) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butterfly_kick

​@amerikickprinceton Again, a demo of a practical use in sparring or even better an MMA match or ever used in real combat... please

What are you doing

Spoken like someone who couldn't or can't do a fraction of these moves. For someone who has so much to say, why bother watching the videos? Lol i forgot, we live in an age where keyboard warriors is an apparent martial art. Things are really simple in life, if you don't like something you don't have to watch. This is karate, you don't like it, then don't watch.

It is about Truthful, Integrity, Reality, Correct information 1. Why would I waste my time on backflips and summersaults ? at the age of 65, I train every day with Classical Okinawan Kata , Kihon, hitting the heavy bag and the makiwara , weight lifting , not on childish pursuits. 2. How does gymnastics relate to” Hand to Hand -close quarter combat ,self-defense “ skills? The moral question to ask is, what happens to these young people if they find themselves in a potentially violent situation and instead of walking away or contacting Law enforcement , they get involved and become seriously hurt because they have no training in authentic self-defense ? How many times in a real fight would you be thankful to be able to stop and do a backflip or do a sort of one-hand cartwheel rather than striking, countering, or running away? only in a cartoon, a real life threaten situation of violence is nothing to take lightly , it is very serious , with fatal consequences,, it is very stressful , and the guy doing backflip obviously demonstrates NO ability in the context of: Self-Defense Close Quarter Hand to Hand Combat. 3. What this individual is doing is Not Karatedo. It has no historical connection to Okinawa . If you believe it is Karate, then which linage from Okinawan is it derived from, Shuri-Te, Naha-Te, Tomari-Te ? 4. Kata (形) is a Japanese word and in a Budo/historical/emetology understanding means literally "shape", “ Pattern” or "model." Kata is a formalized sequence of movements which represent various offensive and defensive postures. Kata is a series of Offense and Defensive movements with precise, “efficient body/bio- mechanics” to teach the individual how to engage in close-quarter “ hand to hand combat” with a weapon or without a weapon. Power can be concentrated only when the hips, chest , shoulders ,arms ,wrist and fist are firmly linked and all necessary muscles function fully. Power starts from the ground up, which is why a strong Kamae is relevant. 6. Sorry there is no evidence in the video of an efficient Tsuki not once is there a Gyaku-zuki or a Oi-zuki . The routine seen on the video above is absent of all the fundamental elements of Authentic Kata , because it is lacking Kime, no Zashin, no Koshi-Waza, no Kamae, no concept of Ikken Hissatsu, no body Dynamics . Power can be concentrated only when the hips, chest , shoulders ,arms ,wrist and fist are firmly linked and all necessary muscles function fully. Power starts from the ground up, which is why a strong Kamae is relevant. 7. The problem many people have with XMA is that it isn't martial arts in any remote sense. Outside of these competitions, XMA performances are regularly used as advertising for McDojos that endanger their students with low-quality "self-defense" techniques. XMA is another component of the McDojo marketing apparatus that is only allowed be considered martial arts by a general public that has been so thoroughly conned by that apparatus that they are convinced anybody swinging around something in a Karategi is a legitimate source of martial knowledge. True Budo is a Way of confronting oneself When we decide to follow the Way of Budo, we accept its discipline. The practice of this discipline is called shugyo. Shugyo is very hard. There is no place for any nonsense. Budo: 武道 In traditional arts, we do not compete with others but ourselves, it is beneficial to our mind and body. @@jayunderwood5042
