    It's really interesting seeing the similarities between these tools and some modern implements. The way you're gripping the jars is nearly identical to certain strongman exercises, and that last wrist training tool is in a lot of bodybuilding gyms. It's great to see how effective training methods stand the test of time.

      Seems that everything came from China, but China borrowed it from India and simply changed the name. All these tools you can find in India from ancient times. India is the birthplace of Buddhism and martial arts.

    Thank you for taking the time to share some of these traditional Okinawan strength building tools. The background and terminology adds a level of understanding that will allow further research and practical use. As you stated, these could be made, and used in home or at our dojo. It's very inspirational to see you traveling and studying in Okinawa; what great opportunities you create for yourself, and how fortunate we are that you share them.
    As always, Thank you Jesse 🙏

    Jesse, I have been practicing Okinawan Karate for over 30 years, after Subscribing to your channel I realize I have not been STUDYING Okinawan Karate. I want to thank you for making such wonderfully educational videos. I am a NASM-CPT and MMACS (Personal Trainer with Mixed Martial Arts Conditioning Specialist), and this video makes me have wonderful dreams about having my own dojo one day. Thank you, thank you, thank you. - Keith

    1. The Chi Ishi. Awesome tool. Reminds me of the Indian club, which is something that I've recently been experimenting with. Love how you can mimic blocks with this and it's great for your shoulders.
    3. Always a classic for grip and forearm strength

We use a Suburito for strength training in our class which as you know is basically a heavier version of a bokken. Again thanks for all you do.

    Love how you teach your viewers the traditional ways of training. This video reminds me of hard qi gong practices in Shaolin kungfu (which is the art Im practicing). We use bamboo "brushes" and the most experienced use metal brushes or as you said, bricks/rocks. Lockstones etc. Interesting I love watching your vids, sensei. Omituofo! 🙏🏼

    @waaagh3203 Před rokem

    Here's a tip for the nigiri game. I took a 1 inch pipe, a 2 inch adapter to a 2 inch pipe, and a 4 inch flange. I can stack weights at the bottom and the flange is big enough for me to grab onto like the top. It's used the exact same way, and the weight is easier to move. I also used a similar idea stacking pipe together to make a big old mace that has variable weights (depending on how many pipe inserts you use) as a chi ishi.

  • @jessehull6141

  • @vulcanraisin8859
    @vulcanraisin8859 Před 4 lety

    Coming up in isshinryu karate our sensei would have us use different dumbbells for the nigiri game and even training our lower body kihon, we would utilize the same dumbbells to feel the core muscles engage on the kicks.which made a instant difference for the new karateka. Which as you know in isshinryu we use very small heel toe stances. How we teach sanchin dachi's knee position is "if you need to break an attacker's foot in close fighting, drop your knees together. Stand too wide and uke will ring your bells" as far as the conditioning stick our new karateka would start out with a rolling pin rolling their shins and forearms to ease into taping those surfaces. Love your channel thank you for all you do.

    • @KARATEbyJesse
      @KARATEbyJesse  Před 2 lety

      Thanks! Antifragility is a property of systems in which they increase in capability to thrive as a result of stressors, shocks, volatility, noise, mistakes, faults, attacks, or failures. The concept was developed by Nassim Nicholas Taleb in his book, Antifragile, and in technical papers. Glad you like it!

    • @frenstcht
      @frenstcht Před 2 lety

      @@KARATEbyJesse Seriously? That doesn't even work as a word. Taleb must have gone off the deep end.
      People learn, bones get denser, organizations adapt, gut flora diversifies, dogma accommodates -- active English is better (with a few exceptions) and gives more information (in this instance). "Kids need to play high-impact sports because bones are antifragile" vs "kids need to play high-impact sports because it increases bone density."

    Due to a shoulder injury from a motorcycle accident many moons ago, I have to work that shoulder to keep it from drooping. Rotator cuff exercises help, but adding chi ishi routines , especially the more advanced single handed ones that rotate the shoulder, made a much bigger difference. Showed a doctor- he thought the exercises were wonderful for the shoulder.
    I'd encourage anyone to , at a minimum, learn the chi ishi.

That hand turning thing you can turn that into getting water from a well by hand lowering a bucket to bring the water up to feel your bath water with and to relaxin after your workout. They were quite creative with what they had.

    HI there. I use to call my Kitae-Bo like KI-AI-BO. :-) It has an additional layer of rope at the top end (1/3) to make it a bit heavier. therefore you need less power to accelerate this 'stick' and gain more impact power. It is also useful to make light Chi-Ishi exercises.

    Great video, as usual! I always found interesting the old training tools, and who could show them better than Jesse? On a side note, about the stances: i am a Shotokan practitioner, and i DO shikodachi, although i didn't in my former dojo. I discovered it isn't common in my style through your blog O__O But i find it much better than kibadachi, it's more stable, more natural, and less taxing for the knees. Of course, in China, they've been doing "horse stance" for millennials, but old masters aren't ALWAYS right
