Sensei Hamid Nam has been practicing Karate for over 47 years. He is also an Aikido Yuishinkai practitioner. In addition, for over two years, he was a regular guest in Combat Krav Maga (CKM) classes held for Officer Cadets at the Royal Military College of Canada where he learned CKM. Sensei Hamid is an officer in the Canadian Armed Forces. Sensei Hamid has been teaching combination of Karate and Aikido techniques (ShotoYuishinkai Do) for over 25 years to all age groups, civilians and military with the aim to pass on his knowledge and teach effective combat and self defence techniques. He also had the opportunity to share his knowledge and experience with military members from other nations on his two tours in Afghanistan and numerous other locations.
Caution: These techniques should only be performed as drills or supervised by a qualified instructor.
Intent: to share my knowledge with my students and anyone interested; free of charge.
Well said. Learning to fight is just a side bonus when studying martial art long enough. Constant evolving as a person is at least my main goal + keeping good physics and mental health.
That from Heian Yondan. One point: If the kick is good and hits the target the fight is most likely over already and no need for last punch. Also if fight is not over the agressor might go down since he just got kicked to stomach and the head is not up. Anyway great combination.
Yes, it is similar to the one in the Kata. It is true that a good front kick may end up the fight. Here the kick is used to soften up the opponent and the real focus is on the fist as the final move. 🙏

What about these karate jumping kicks we see in movies etc. I guess these are not anything basic techniques but is there any karate style that includes them? For me they are not hard to do since Ive always been a "jumpy" guy and I do them for fun and in some cases they might have real life use case. MMA is a proof of that. I guess Lyoto Machida is still the only guy who finished his match with KO with crane kick. Not just for making cool looking movie trick kicks, but yes it feels good sometimes to do a high jump "sidekick", crane kick or something like that.
Thank you for your comments. Your points are valid. In my videos # 38 and 114, I have gone over a few of jumping kicks. I usually teach them to students at more advanced levels. A jump like the one in this video is good exercise and has some real life applications. In this video, I wanted to propose a modification for the practitioners who may find doing the jump difficult due to injury in their knees or hips. 🙏
How about the technique my sensei showed. He could be strangeled as hard as one can but nothing happened to him. I think he turn his head a bit up and did something with his tonque. I think the main point is that he could flex his neck muscles so hard that someone must be superstrong to make him stop breathing. If you know this technique it would be a nice video, thank you.
Thank you for your feedback. I strongly believe that there are a few different ways to deal with each situation. I usually rely on techniques that can work for most people if they do it right. With strangulation, my focus is on teaching people to get out of it quickly and take upper hand.🙏
This for me is my self defence philosophy in this way I am always never in the box. on the outside is the blind side of you’re opponent the controlling side. Takecare move and live in Peace🙏🏽
I think you should have them pratice with gear like foam gear or something and then have red paint on the knife or some color that will identify the stab then have one with a knife try to stab the other (obviosuly a plastic knife that wont harm but just used for pratice) so when they are fighting you can identify how many times that person got stabbed and try different techniques to see which is most effective for the least amount of stabs, now make sure when you have them trying to go after each other you make it as fast as possible usually those things aren't in slow motion and they don't stop so let it be fluid and less than 1 minute or 1 minute max because that's how long these things last in the real world
Thanks for your comment. This is one segment of a two hour class Level 1 ( basic) that introduces the beginners to one method of dealing with knife attack. In the past 29 years, I have teaching knife and pistol defence to a variety of students (military and civilian) and have incorporated ideas similar to what you mentioned. Bottom line is that it is best to know some level of self-defence and be mentally/physically prepared to use it if you can not avoid the situation or “run”.
I know crossing left is a karate stance but Im not sure if it is even nearly as effective as front stance in this particular pushing case. Maybe if you plan to do kekomi or keage after the push then cross legged might be faster option, I am not sure.
Thank you for your comment. I typically try to stay away comparing techniques to each other in terms of effectiveness. In this video, I was trying to explain how the strike can work from two different stances. I usually tell my students to try different techniques and see which one works best for them.🙏
No. Please look at video #37 (at 1:26) in my list of videos. A crescent kick comes from outside in, such as the one in Karate Kata called Heian Sandan (#32). This kick is way easier than crescent kick. I hope that this helps.🙏
@@senseinammartialarts Ho thx. In savate both "from outside to inside" and "from inside to outside" kicks are called crescent kick. That's why i was confused.
Also agaisnt or baseball bat, if you can move away/to side to avoid the stick, best way is to go at the opponent, close the distance so the bats momentum goes to zero. That one way that I learnt, cover you head by raising your hand and putting you hand below that hand (hand will take a hit from bat but not your head), you rush agaisnt the opponent making a strong back hand to the chin when you close the distance. This will give you maaybe half a second, a second or some time to continue to do multiple attacks.. or if done well he will pass out with your initial strike to the head.
Nice. Ive also founded out that especially if you are fighting with shorter than you opponent and the opponen keeps his hand pretty narrow position (close together), you can remove those hand lets say with your forehand and load your back hand to the chin. Kind of coming from upright position after you have slammed his hands down. I use this somethimes when sparring at the opponent you this narrow hands style. Ofcourse there is "unlimited" combinations how to do and what to do, you never get perfect so traning isnt useless even it might sometimes feel like that.. When I go training I try to learn at least 1 new thing to improve my techique and "fighting wisdom".. it can be just a tiny ankle change in hip rotation, use a bit different stance, use your eyes as a "weapon" etc. Thanks for the video.
Hello 👋 I am the young mother you helped at the beach today Thank you for coming back for us we needed you Love your informative videos and will be watching and learning ! Thank you again 💓
The intent is not to go against anyone, but you if need be in the form of self defence a variety of kicks, punches, take downs can be used to neutralize the opponent. These are just some of the techniques.
Hello Jeffrey, out of mutual respect I will say the following: I have been practicing Karate for over 40 years. As I explained in the video, we call it inside block in English, but this block; Chudan Uchi Ukey, can be used in many different ways. Try it and see if it works for you. Osu
