My sensei always sweeps our front legs to make sure we're not putting weight on it, while making us sit in the stance while he tells a long story :)

BennyNeb my Sensei does the same thing, and those stories. I am beginning to think it is a method. I even named it. I call it "senseimetrics" like isometric or static resistance via story telling. OSU!

My favorite is horse riding stance and double punch just standing there while he lectures us on the importance of low strong stances

Great video and I am going to work on this. Exactly what I need. I have decided you have the best supporters. Reading the comments on your posts are always a pleasure. People are highly respectful and it’s good to see. Good people like you and your family deserve it.

Totally love your teaching style! Thoroughly explained techniques! Thank you Sensei Jesse! :)

Great video. Helped me a bunch. Thank you!

Thank you for fulfilling my request!! As always, it helps me a lot. You are the best sensei, really apreciate you oss 💞👊

Just what I needed thank you! In struggling with cat stance and am learning Pinan Shodan at the moment. This video will help me loads

completely and with details. Thank you. HAPPY NEW YEAR. OSS.

Great video! Thank you for the exercises, Jesse!

Thank you JessyEnkamp for another very helpful vide. I appreciate your years of experience that you offer to us in these tips. OSU

This channel is getting better every time, now it seems can read minds cause I was about to ask for this video. Thanks you Jesse.

Another great video, sensei Jesse, thank you. I am a Wado-Ryu instructor and - if you don't mind - it's perhaps worth mentioning (for beginner and intermediate karateka), that 2 other practical applications, in addition to those you kindly mention for nekoashidachi, are: a) avoidance of having your front foot swept with an ashi barrai, as there is little or no weight on it, and b) it puts a very fast-strike weapon at the ready - a front-foot maegeri, as the weight is not on that leg, so no tell-tale shifting of the body is needed in order to fire it. We teach 3 lengths of cat-stance (as featured in our kata). The shortest has back foot at 30 degrees (hips 'shomen' or front-facing; the mid-length one has back foot at about 90 degrees, with hips 'mahanmi' or diagonal to target; our longest cat-stance has back foot at approx 135 degrees with hips 'hanmi' or fully side--on to target (at which point our hikite hand is a concealed weapon around the corner from the attacker's view). The longer the cat-stance, the more weight on the front foot, but the heel always raised, so the foot can be lifted fast.

Very ncie, very, very nicevideo :D Hoping for more!

Great vid, I pulled a muscle in my glutius last night doing cat stance. Regular squats was not isolating the muscle enough to strengthen and condition. I've never heard of pistol squats but can't wait to try them. Osu!

Very good content.... Thank u sensei.......

wow, pretty interesting, in kyokushin we call this position kokutsu dachi, and neko ashi dachi is much closer, also very interesting exercise!! thank u!!!

Jesse Sensei, you are awesome! Your videos are awesome! A big "Osu" from Brazil!

This was most helpful

Thank for the demonstrations. I am broke and this is great. Thank you. My father had started us at cat stance that i learned from a book called zen combat.

In Goju Ryu, there are a lot of nekoashi dachi and shiko dachi practices. One of the most difficult kihons is back to the nekoashi dachi with age uke and then forward to the zenkutsu dachi with gyaku tsuki and back. Then do the same to the other side.

Great video

great you are the best coach

You are very good sir....oss......lover from India

Thx jesse !

THat was really helpful! Arigato!

cool stuff...keep it up.

this has really helped me with my kata Pinan Shodan as most of it is me in cat stance just need to try and learn go a little faster as just before my first kiai I have to do 3 in a row

Thank You Sensei!!!

Nice video Sensei . Can you post a video with different ways of tying a belt?

Great info.

This is a rly cool vid and I love all of them and I’m subscribed and I was wondering if I can make a crazy suggestion

I like this tip, 70% of my students are children and teaching the correct way to execute this posture is difficult especially for them, very good exercises

That teaches me a lot 👍🙂

THANK YOU SENSEI

Thanks Karate Nerd!

Thanks for the troubleshooting tips! Sincerely, A Tall Practitioner

Very impressive pistol squats, Jesse-san!

VERY NICE

Nice thanks

Osss☺gosto mto dos teus videos sou karate de alma 🙏🙏🙏👍

Great video!! ;)

Good video 😬👍

Thanks for you videos. It help me a lot to try to improve my karate. I have periostitis on both shins and cat stans hurts my back leg. Someone can advice me? Sorry for my english, i am french.

In Kung Fu the cat stance is supposed to represent a leg sweep, where you use the leg raised on the ball on the foot to pull somebodies leg away

hiiii its nice to see ur alll updates but i hav a much of interest in shito ryu style of karate so would u able to upload all katas from white belt to blak belt especially in shito ryu style plzzzzzz🤗🤗🤗

Great video thanks osu

Great !

Yes I agree with some the front foot can avoid a sweep and too a counter with kick to the attackers leg

Oss that excercise not only works for neko dachi, olso for zenkutsu , kokutsu, kiba in shotokan style wich I practice, and mani stances that all know! thank you I'll apply in my karate.

How did you know I was doing shodan in grading today? Thanks for the reminders

Merci. !

In Shorinryu we practice this stance a lot and our Sensei always told us not to put both feets on the same line because you could get sweeped with a kick

This is my fave stance in Karate. Your videos about kicks helped me strengthen my kicks significantly. :)

So great!#:)

Next Week, Please some KO-INU's in your intro 😁😍😁 ...if you can't find a INU-related technique in karate 😍 Always small tiny tips, or just some tools to remember your proper technique, thanks Jesse!

Nice vídeo,can you show the application of the moves you show on your videos? Big hug oss!!

He did the slav squat, Ayyye Jk jk. Very helpful sensei, oss!👊🏼👊🏼

Can you make a video for butterfly streching?

my fav dachi is kiba-dachi,niko ashi-dachi,zenkutsu-dachi and shiko dachi

Will you be doing any seminars in Sweden??

And i like it

We have that stance in Choy Li Fut. We call it Diu Ma. That stance is my nemesis.

First time hearing of this stance

Jesse-san, are there any styles of Karate where there is a 90 degree angle in the feet with Neko-ashi Dachi?

Hey brother! Just wanted to ask which camera you use to film. It would be really helpful, thanks! Love your videos!

Does cat stance have a practical use or is it just for exercise? Thanks,

Que estilo de Karate practicas? Shotokan, Shito ryu o Goju ryu?

Jesse, I always have my spine in lumbar hyperextension when doing this posture :( it happens that naturally I have that area of ​​the spine with a lot of curve. Is it normal for it to stay like this? When I try to do pelvic retroversion, the posture is damaged. Help, por favor!
