As someone who has been practicing martial arts for almost 10 years now I really appreciate RU-vid tutorials like this. To anyone that wants to learn a martial art I heavily encourage you to pursue it. Martial arts has changed my life for the better. It can change yours too.

Any one over here in lockdown wanting to learn karate beside watching Netflix 😁😁🤚🤚 I came from karate kid 🙃🙃

I can't afford a class, so I'm just gonna use YT...

Thanks to you I can start practicing karate again after 30 years. I’m turning 50 soon.

The reason I picked this program is that this man does a WARM-UP, which is absolutely important--especially for older people! Most just go right into the classes. Anyone of any age should do a warm up!! Thank you Sir!!

These work great! My grandma won't stand a chance.

After I re-watched Karate Kid and watched Cobra Kai, I remembered that I used to love Karate!

When you gunna teach me how to throw some badass kicks? Screw this I'm going to Cobra Kai Edit- wow thanks for the likes!

This is terrific. Practicing Karate in my free time is way better than watching Netflix because it is fun to practice and helps improve my health. Thank you for your lesson. Much appreciated! :)

I've been training shotokan karate for 9 years, I am brown belt, but because university I had to stop my training. Today I tried this training and it surprised me how well structured it is. I hope these videos will help me to get fit in order to recatch in my karate training. Thank you, Hodge-sensei. Tomorrow lesson 2! Don't give up!

Who’s here after watching cobra Kai 😂😭

‚,If you don’t fail, you are not even trying‘‘ Remember always! Don’t give up! Really I want you to try!

"remember to breathe" Me: oh right almost forgot 😅

I rarely find exactly what I want, this is one of those times

I'm 63 and going to watch and sign up and learn. I'm a bit out of shape and have a morphine pump. Great video, I passed out twice during this video intro and hit my head on the floor pretty hard. So not sure if its the concussion or if I really want to do this. Beware young bucks. I'm coming for you. Just don't hit me in my pump!

I can't believe this actually exists. Thank you so much! Wishing you the best of the best

Roses are red Violets are blue The warm ups important But here’s when he starts doing kungfu! 12:00

I’m an eight year old little girl. I appreciate the lesson. I am learning to defend myself for school. I will protect myself with these helpful lessons. Thank you sensei.

Thank you sir your skills are too much amazing ❤

Everyone: “Cobra Kai!” *Me wanting to scare my classmates away from teasing me:* 🧚🏻‍♀️

thank u very much there are bullies in my school and the punch me every day but now i know how to protect myself u are amazing sensei

This guy made me intentionally breath while watching this video😂😂

My father has a black belt but got old he always wanted me to train and sign up but I refused and recently I got interested and decided to sign up and these are really helpful thank u

Thank you so much for the Karate lessons!😊

I’m using this and getting fit so I don’t get sexually assaulted when I get older.

just finished the class, going to try and repeat it once a day for two weeks before moving onto class #2

Basics are so important. It can be considered that basics are the start of mastery....when one can hone the fundamentals.The reason is because if someone has not got good basics they wont move well later on with advanced material. Great video !👍

Awesome as a quarantine exercise. He takes his time to teach you step by step. Really motivates you for the next level. I enjoyed it

OMG I JUST WANNA SAY THANK YOU I LEARNED THE MOVES AND I DID NOT GET BULLIED SINCE YOU MADE MY DREAM COME TRUE THANK YOU GOD BLESS YOU

I remember how in standard 5th (academic year 2010-2011) our school's Karate teacher used to teach us and during warm ups we used to make fun of him and of ourselves whilst moving our hands and our waists, as if a sort of free dance. Years after here I am to learn this as I have been longing to learn since standard 12th Karate but couldn't join a class. Thank you ❤

I did shotokan karate as a kid for a few years, what this guy is saying is legit, reminds me of being 12 again 👍🏼

This helped me out in school I get bullied all the time and sometimes I’m just done with it and I just stared a fight and won so good I got in trouble with my parents but the bullies doesn’t bully me anymore so I’m happy ther scared of me (whole school is right now) so thank you so much

You may have just re-kindled my interest in Karate. Thank you.

Mr.miyagi *slaps Daniels head* “always look eye!!”

Thankyou so much sir I can't afford Karate classes but now just because of you I will practicing karate thankyou so much again 🥰🥰🥰🥳🥳😍😍🙂🙂👍🙂👍🙂👍🙂

I feel glad that our school taught us karate. It was compulsory till 5th grade and after that if you wanna learn more you can join the karate club. I was a yellow belt but didn't continue. I'm thinking about joining karate club next year 🙂🙌

Discovered this during lockdown. I hope to complete all classes. Never learnt karate although it was my childhood dream. Thanks for super master

Im here so I can finally be an anime protagonist

I know boxing 🥊 so I decided to come here to become OP and know both boxing and karate 🥋

Played the game Sifu, now I'm here.

This is the best clear proper martial arts video i could find on youtube. Thankyou for putting it up. so grateful. Me and my children can learn some from home.

I haven't got bullied since I watched this thank u spool much

Thanx I did Shotokan in my late teens.Now I can do it again .Amazed how much I remember .😊

Aww thank you for this , I suddenly wanna learn karate and it's a great help that you guys teach online for free.. i hope i'll learn more and won't easily quit . God Bless You all

thank you. I have wanted to learn karate but i was t busy to go to a class and now i can do it at home thank you

I do shotokan every week. Ive been doing karate for 2 and a half years and I am on my brown belt. (The belt order is different for each dojo) im currently learning bassai dai and it’s taken me almost 9 months to learn. It’s honestly crazy. I love karate and it helps me control my anger and negative emotions in general. It’s so much fun, my sensei is great and I’m hoping I can grade next grading in December.

Not as many "karate experts" as I expected in the comments section, I'm impressed! It's been a while since I've seen a genuine tutorial that's realistic and not entirely about "just do this until you're able to do it like me" or "do 50 of these a day" or whatever.

This is perfect! I used to do karate and competed at tournaments for 3 years, but stopped when i was younger. So I just want to reinforce what I was taught and learn further. I cant afford to go to a dojo atm.

I got bullied for years and I just couldn't defend myself. After watching some Domics and Detective Conan videos, I decided to start learn a martial art. At the first thought I was like "This fits really good for me, I hope I can learn it quick". After watching all of these videos 6 times a day and every videos for 10 days (so basically I watched 60 times 1 video) I started to understand something about martial arts. Then I started to learn taekwondo and Krav Maga on this channel too. I started to watch these videos 1 year ago and now I can defend myself from the bullies, it's like I became the tough one, so they stopped to bother me. I'm writing this comment to thank you very much, Global Martial Arts University, you changed my life and now I feel really safe with all of these martial arts as my potential defenses. Thank you very much and I hope your channel will grow and become worldwide known by everyone 😊😀

Lol I was doing this at home and my family thought I went mad 😂

I had done training many years ago while i was out of country and i had grabbed that opportunity but nearly 16yrs have passed and i had no source to that exactly with sequence but after watching this video i feel as i have joined the classes thanks for making these videos. Thanks again

Finished knees shaking but I did the whole workout I learned karate up to green when I was younger so it’s time to get back in shape and start learning good place for me to start

This is better then playing game and watching movies

This feels like corona karate lessons

Practising after over a decade.. Thank you for the class.. 🙏🏾

This takes me back to my humble beginnings in the art of Shotokan Karate in 1985. Since then I have blended Wing Chung and Aikido to be wholly well rounded in offensive and defensive maneuvers.

I’m a black belt at shotokan karate, granted I stopped about 4 years ago but I was trained by some of the best, and I wanted to start again but I see a few things wrong in the examples but I respect u spreading karate

I've seen many Karate classes and yep, that was about what you get. Thanks much for sharing You are truly a shinning example of a Karate Black belt instructor.

I’ve trained karate for three years now I’m 47 and love every class ,great for fitness and movement ,,would recommend to anyone tbh

I completed my first class today. Thank you

I always wanted to learn karate. Thanx for this video , now I can learn this

I had to quit karate long back. But this helped 🙂

It’s 6 am and I felt the necessity for a video like this

Wov An amazing instructor led martial art training . A Must for everyone and the instructor master has put his heart and all passion in teaching the art ... great sir

It is very helpful for those who cannot train in academies. I love martial arts

I cant even do 1 pushup he is expecting me to do 5 pushups i tried anyway lol

I just finished my TKD white belt training. Now onto Shotokan Karate! :) Thank you GMAU!!

I almost got through this whole thing today! Changing my routine from the treadmill is so hard... But I love how this works the whole body and release so much anger 🙏💗

First time I watched a video by you, already recommending you!! Great lessons with a great teacher, who could ask for more???

Thank you for this video! I've had trouble finding workouts that I've actually enjoyed but I've done this one four days in a row! I plan on following it until I've got all of the moves down before I move onto the next class.

I got my first belt in Shotokan back in 1988 when i was 34. I hadn’t been to a Shotokhan dojo since. Then i watched Cobra Kai and i was reminded that i wanted to see if ShotoKan was on youtube. So here i am, 67 years old and still love karate. I know i cant be what i once was, pretty limber & agile, but it could help me get a little exercise. I cant compete, but it cant hurt.

Excellent video. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge, expertise and experience.

Excellent series thank you.

I wanna learn so I can become an anime character

This is great. I started to learn the basics of Shotokan Karate through follow along videos. I really appreciate and enjoy practicing Shotokan Karate at home in my own schedule. Thank you Sensei John. Thank you GMAU. ❤

I just watch Cobra kai on Netflix and now I'm here🙈

I've been waiting for the next one but I'm pretty positive that my karate will be good one day and then I'll be a black belt and then I'll be able to be as good as Bruce Lee

thank you so much for this!!! i have always wanted to learn martial arts and i can finally use this lockdown to do something useful. please continue on with the lessons:)

This is a great Introduction to martial arts! There is no joke here! I've experimented with learning many martial arts including muay thai kickboxing and tae kwon do...its all about finding what is right for yourself. And ultimately staying happy and healthy. Thank you for the great Introduction to karate 👌😁

Thank you so much, just started Karate myself and that alone was challenging; I look forward to more sessions working through this playlist.

Thank you. The video is very informative.

I just need to thank you a whole lot! This is an encouraging video and Im going to look at the other ones for a daily exercise. This encourages me because it helped me to protect myself. It told me that I can and will start losing weight. Im chubby but this video, is helping me lose weight. I can feel the fat burning off my body already, I love you so much you have just encouraged me to learn that everything that could help me lose weight, is possible. Thank you so much! {edit: this}

Attended a karate class when I was in the 2nd grade. I'm 29 now and very out of shape and have wanted to continue training but never had the money or time. So thank you for this. A lot of things are coming back to me. Slowly but surely.

Jon, big thank you from the Philippines. Lived all around the globe and it was always my wish to start Karate but never had a decent school nearby. I now live in Asia and found your channel and just want to thank you for doing this. I know know even as surfer I am in no shape for this but improved already even in the first class. Will follow through every night. Best wishes, Chris

This is good because you can defend yourself and get Healthy and be going out side and enjoy life

Great workout

These are really good im learning martial arts and this has really made an impact thankyou

I love these vids. Thank you for posting.

great video, all the techniques are well explained and demonstrated. Good job. I also like that you are naming each technique by its japanese name, that's how I grew up learning Shotokan. (None of this "seat belt block" stuff, etc ). Keep up the good job and thank you. Oss.

Oh my goodness, the push ups are brutal lol I clearly need more practice. I do this every day. Thank you SO much for your class

Thanks Sensi Iam a new whitebelts student and today I complete my first class

For being a girl, my society doesn’t allow girls to learn martial art, but i wanted it. Thank you so much for providing it to fulfill my goal.

Is it bad that im watching this while sitting in my bed at 1:45 am aftwr watching Kickin It on Disney+?

Thanks for this coz my mom won't let me join the class.

I always wanted to learn martial arts. The discipline,the master's wisdom,the protection it offers you. Maybe one day

This art of martial arts is amazing. I really want to learn from these videos so I can use them in the real world
