@@jkgardiner it's us that should be grateful to be lucky to have such a passionate teacher for free here on youtube. Thank you, thank you, thank you Sir.
This is excellent and very much appreciated sensei. You have definitely given me way more techniques and strategies to improve my Shotokan than I have learned in many years. Very grateful.
Im half Bulgarian i should be able to do those squats. This man john is built like a god damn tank. Imagine him kicking you full force with all his might. Right leg hospital left leg cemetery. Ive seen him spar too. Hes fkin good. Love to see john fight karate combat or mma. I can't imagine anyone walking through that back or roundhouse. Ive got power i turn the hips over etc but john is far more powerful. He should definitely atleast get on the powercube and check that power. If i lived around london id go to his dojo. Hands down.
@@jkgardiner you're a beast bro. Honestly love to see you compete full contact. I wouldn't fight you. Spar yes, fight absolutely not. Nat can look good in no contact sparring and he has great technique but I see one major difference which is your power is off the charts. That's the kind of power thst truly sends you to the hospital. Careful with that john you truly are a deadly weapon. Again I know power, that's terrifying ! Even a liver or gut shot from leg might be so strong the guy wouldn't gain breath again. I bet your kick on powerkube is over 180. I've seen so many many guys kick, I've never quite seen this kind of power. You do realize it right ? You'd shatter any bone you hit on opponent. Arm, rib, etc I think it's like double tripple mine and I can buckle the heavy bags all day, but I think you'd break them in one session. Wow. !!!
I really like your videos, this one is better than the others because it doesn't have music (a little distracting, can be disturbing) and is straight to the point. Thank you for this quality
Great stuff! One of my favorites is attaching a cable to my ankle and raising my foot with a straight leg laterally as high as I can. I think it hits all three heads of the glute system if you rotate the knee and toes a little bit outward at the top of the lift. We actually do some variation of these exercises in Muay Thai/ Dutch kickboxing.
You're too good to us. The chamber lift is gold. Now I see. Thank you so very much. Btw that chamber with the table hurts almost as much as the side pulse at first
Thank you for the video John, this is the first of your videos I've seen so far. I saw the thumbnail for this video last week, and I have to admit, seeing how big your legs were, I was wondering how good your kicking was going to be. Glad I just watched to find out.
Wow I think im pretty flexible but aspire to be able to kick like this having just got my purple belt, blisteringly fast kicks, awesome technique and awesome leg exercises. Thank you Earned a follow 🥋
Hola John. Hace poco tiempo descubrí tu canal y te felicito por la excelente calidad de tus contenidos y enseñanzas. Recibe mis saludos y mis respetos desde Chile. Que Dios te bendiga y que tu canal siga prosperando.
@piotrkosztirko438 that is absolutely rubbish. Why do heavyweight boxers hit harder than light? And the formula is mass x acceleration (speed) = power. increasing any of those numbers results in more power. (Eg. 7 x 8 is the same as 8 x 7)
@@jkgardiner Not rubbish, you're just inexperienced in this matter, as well as misinformed. What is acceleration? Speed^2 ... That means that any increase to speed is much more significant than any increase to mass. Try plugging in some numbers, you'll see. Also: I'm not comparing a heavyweight to a lightweight, so don't try making my point into a strawman argument. My point is that one and the same heavyweight could actually hit harder if he was lighter but faster. Pretty basic.
@piotrkosztirko438 @piotrkosztirko438 your last statement makes no sense.. if the heavyweight was lighter he wouldn't be a heavyweight.. you're also suggesting that I don't have speed as well.. It's not a strawman argument, you said if "I" was lighter I'd hit harder. So If I was in a lower weight class you think I'd hit harder.. so you began the comparison of lighter vs heavier weight. Either way I'm fine, you carry on as you are and ill do my thing. It doesn't matter.
Osu Some great exercises there. I did wince a bit at the Split Stance Explosive Jumps. Look at a softer, rather than a static 'high impact' landing Gardiner San. Having trained in Kyokushin for a few decades the bones and joints are starting to creak a bit now and I know some of it was because of the high impact exercises I could of eased back on .. but when your young and handsome ... you remind me of me back in the day, you don't think of the long term consequences . Great content. Subscribed.
As a single dad with two small kids, I need a way to train legs on days when I can't get to the gym. Also having a few leg days more focussed on my karate rather than pure strength or hypertrophy feels good from a whole health and flexibility perspective. Thanks for the video. Could also add kettlebells or whatever heavy object you have to hand I guess if bodyweight alone is a bit light?
1. Split Squats 2. Front chamber with resistance 3. Single leg hip thrust 4. Split stance explosive jumps 5. Chamber position raises 6. Improve your kicking technique
Молодец - отталкиваєшся ударной ногой от пола, 99% этого не делают. Ещё, также, при mavashi geri - для акцента, можно отталкиваться ногой от makivary (а не отводить, как это делаешь ты).
forget the exercises in this video, this man's body is the body of a man who goes to the gym regularly. Lots of power in his shots, but don't forget that on a moving target or one that blocks well, you won't be able to go at full power without exposing yourself. This kind of power especially allows you to impress your training partners.
Yes my physique is built in the gym with a heavy strength and hypertrophy focused training programme. These exercises are for those who want to train without access to a gym or to do in their dojos.
He's a meat head, not a martial artist. Tried having a civilized convo with him about basic power generation via speed (the whole point of his video is power generation, after all), during which he did little other than demonstrate his ignorance and ego.
for squash or raquet sports is not possible to have such a mass volume to move properly , i do not know so much about martial arts , thanks @@jkgardiner
5 one leg squats!! hold ankle.. now ,jump up, grab tree!!and chase squirrel. hit those tires ,every day!! and FIGHT!!!! Mexico baby!!!! like your life depends on it! ...or a tiny jail cell!! TRAIN!!!!!! my ! J.K.D., baby!!! im 63 years old, and all Viking!! German, Irish. learned from all cultures...whatever works, disregard the rest. GOD thru CHRIST is my POWER!!! no foreign gods. DIET!! FAST! SPIRITUAL TRAINING!!! GOPDS WORD!! PRAYER!!! the HOLY SPIRIT is my TEACHER in this area. Nothings changed at all ,health wise...in fact..

CAREFUL training!! ready for the street.. never seen this on you tube. I'm camera shy.
Loosen your kicks a bit. Decent technique, but you're super stiff. Watch how light on their feet soccer players are. You don't need massive quads to kick harder.
stronger? kicks is about speed precision and TIMING ....strenght ...comes out of hiting your oponent when he is weakest ...then you need half strenght and you dont brake your own leg ...or fist...i'm playing smart here but thats the way it is 😅 ...if you kick in right spots you hardly even need some strenght ...its more explosiv swing then some strenght and big muscles ...most succesfull kickers dont have big muscle and weight ...it slows you down ...i'm a small skinny guy so strenght comparing to some 6+ft 2 meters high makes no sense ...gotta use what you have as advantige
I've got faster with more strength... it is all the things you mentioned and strength. A strong body is also more injury resistant. These movements are about developing the muscles involved in kicking and as a result technique can be improved with more strength through the full active range of motion.
@jkgardiner as an ex-juicer and MMA enthusiast that comes as a Big surprise and I'm astounded by your genetics, but I guess I'm still learning. The exercises you detailed wouldn't change, but from my experience if you're PE'ing your training and recovery is different.
@user-mn3vt2sl1m I've been training for 24 years in Karate and about 20 In the gym, although probably about 10 years of having a better idea about how to train.
@@jkgardiner if you go to UFC or tournaments full contact. Then ok need more power but karate was made for self defense. Like normal guy in the street don't go to gym he only do karate if u do bodyweight training that ok
@karatedo4928 what if I also enjoy weight training? Weight training will absolutely improve your Karate, without a doubt. Over 20 years of combining Karate with weight training and I haven't experienced a single downside. The body doesn't differentiate between resistance from body weight or external weight, the muscles contract under load in both cases.
With a bodybuilder body, why wouldn’t you be able to kick someone through a wall 😊…. But I love the exercises and very impressed on your delivery of kicks ( outstanding)🤜🏾🫷🏾
