Mae geri. Simple and devastating

That tip with the big toe is incredible. I've been struggling to make a bladed foot for forever. My ankles are the only part of my body that has been stiff since I was a kid. Thanks so much!

Finally!!!! Thank you very much! The tip with the toe is👌

I know right! I’m was also really glad I found out about this tip

Yoko geri keage is the most difficult kick for me but i'm sure that this lesson will help me! Thank you very much😊

you are one of the finest and clearest Japanese English speaker and I appreciate great deal! Now, Keage is a very furious and powerful geri when executed properly after real understanding of its mechanics and spirit of Keage. its hard to find someone that does Keage how it should be done, Kagawa is one very good example I think.

I just discovered your channel. You are really good at explaining things! Thanks for the help.

Nicely done. Thank you for sharing :)

Great! Thanks! Sensei!!!

Thank you so much for your tips. Your class for more helps for teachers

Wow, been having trouble with my non-dominant kicking leg for the Keage, the toe point tip works like a charm. Thank you!

By lifting the toe, for me, Its easier in yoko geri due to the the fact that It helps extends your sokuto knife edge portion of your feet. Excellent technical video of kicks. Keep it up!!

This was a great tutorial. I used some of your exercises in my own class today and shared your video with my followers. I am doing a 30-day series on improving kicks. Thanks to this video, I fixed some major errors in my side kicks. Thank you for taking the time to create it.

This is a great video on the execution of the side snap kick!

That was an outstanding explanation of this kicking technique, thank you.

Thank you very much for teaching this Sensei. I have been looking for the missing link to the side kick but never knew what it was....Its the "hip" movement which generates more power and flexibility. I punched the like button (I'm number 400) and I subscribed to your channel. You are precise and to the point and your demonstration and breakdown of the side kick was awesome. Thank you

Bro you are doing good keep it up👍

mixing karate for my mma training. huge help man, can keep distance now

Thank you sir ❤🔥

That gi is awesome

Excellent 🎉

Excellent dissection of the keage. Thanks to you I have finally had a chance to learn this. Keage is very useful and very basic kick to have under your belt. It is very similar ro uoko geri. I am not sure what is the difference though. Probably you have done this I will watch in a minute..

I like your tip of moving the hip into the kick to add power and penetration to the snap kick. Sort of like a quicker version the yoko geri kekomi. Using your tip, there is more thrust into the heavy bag.

Have trained in mostly Chinese martial arts before taking up Shotokan. I LOVE Shotokan, very basic but the instructions are detailed yet not too difficult to follow and very effective techniques. OSU Nagano Sensei🥋⛩

Thank you for posting this helpful video. Please don't forget to turn out your supporting foot to open up the hips when kicking. When the kick comes out the supporting foot should point away from the kick. It also makes it easier on your joints when you thrust your hip.

Thank you hahah, i have a belt exam for 2nd kyu tonight and i just couldnt do this :,)) thanks

Did you do one on side thrust kick, kekomi? The difference in the hips and the foot pivot. Just a thought. You can get hurt if the hip mechanics are wrong and you don't pivot the foot on your supporting leg. This I personally know!!!

Plzz make full karate series for beginners. So that we can learn karate.

Hi, I love your Karate videos. I would like to watch a video about on how to kick yoko-geri kekomi from kiba-dachi, like in Nijushijo kata. My apologies if you already posted a video about this topic. Thanks.

Thank you for making this great video! Just a quick question, when you raise your knee in step 2 where is the knee pointing to? Is it to the side (direction that you're going to kick) or is it to the front (same direction as your hip)? Thanks.

@KarateDojowaKu

45degrees to the side!

Wonderful tutorial! If I may ask a question Some instructors tell me that it should not rotate however I do notice that the higher some people do kiage the supporting foot does move allowing more hip involvement in the kick. It is not as much as in kekome but there is something there going on. What are you thoughts on that? I wonder because if I don't move the supporting foot at all sometimes I feel some discomfort in the knee of the supporting foot. I don't get it as much anymore but it use to be an issue.

My mind is blows with the big toe trick...

Our 3 dan shotkan teaches this so that the hip/pelvis turns to the side where you are kicking. Otherwise it makes the kick kind of unnatural joint movement and makes the kick really hard or even impossible, at least if you dont have extra good mobility. Also in my opinion after studying several different MA styles I agree that with my sensei that the pelvis twist is imporant factor to execute this right. Im traning Shotokan right now. I know that senseis have different opinions how things should be done and there will always be disagreements even everybody try to do their best teaching method. Everyone is different, everyones joints/mobility are different. For me trying to do this with pelvis straight forward feels kind of dangerous, like you are trying to do something agaisnt your joint ability to move, but Im not the most flexible guy. I continue to do this with pelvis twist as Ive been teached. This must be the hardest kick in karate, at least when your aim is higher than chudan level. Actually when I see you executing this in 2:10 your pelvis is twisted to the side of the kick, not straight front =) Anyway your kick looks really good pelvis twisted or not.

Wonderful instruction. May I ask, how to strengthen the proper muscles other than by the obvious repetition of the move. Thank you

Thanks ❤ from Pakistan 🇵🇰

Roundhouse. It's what I've practiced the most. But the butterfly kick was cool

This is how I learned. we also did this a lot with a partner, arms outstretched holding hands and snapped the kick up to the uke's armpit. Question though, what is your intended target with this kick?

The shotokan side kick is the hardest for me to do. It is so different then the side I know how to do. It will be very interesting if you review go style strike.

Bagus ksrate aku suka maju terus ok.

i have a problem using this technique, moreover when i applied it into Kata Combination. so i used Kekomi instead.

Nice keage, the toes is diagonal to up, and when you doing kekomi the toes are down, nice video

Domo sensei!. I was working keage drills very similar to these ones tonight with our sensei!. Any tips on sparring karate ka who like to always be in kiba dachi and throw nothing but kekomi?. OSS from ISKF Canada!

Hello Sensei Yusuke how are things? Excellent video on the side kick, sorry however I believe you meant to say lifting your big toe upwards, when elevating the knee to the chest level, prior to thrusting the foot to the side, fully extended to perform the side kick? My favourite kick in Karate is the descending axe kick (落とし蹴り) quite popular in Kyokushin Karate. I hope that all is well with your new job and your Shotokan Karate training. I am not sure if you might have already answered this in any of your other videos, however is Waku the name of your own Shotokan Karate dojo? Also what does it mean? I also assume that your actual current rank would be that black belt third dan if I am not mistaken? Always great to see your instructional videos, as well as those on Japanese Karate terminology and its meaning in English, Osu!🇲🇽🇦🇺🥋😊✌👍🤟🙏

Good video like another video.but I can't use a fast kick becouse I lost my balance.thanks for video.

Hi In some tutorials people pivot (move) the supporting foot. But in your tutorial both feet pointing forward! What is the difference if keep both feet pointing forward or pivot supporting foot?

The Yoko Geri Keage is one of those kicks that is in fact a bag to encompass many kicks. There are so many variations and everybody who explains how to do it seems to be doing it in a slightly different way. So my "wisdom" comes to think of yoko geri keage as MANY kicks. Also, using the edge of the foot is not easy depending on your physiology. So that's one tricky kick. The important movemnt of this kick, to me, no matter how you "finish", is the snap movement, which differenciate it form kekomi.

A very helpful video. Thank you for your efforts in making it. Just 2 points if that's okay.. 1. The video is somehow reversed (I understand this is common in video editing). You can see your dogi appears to be tied on the left hip, so obviously that can't be correct. And so when you are talking about left yoko keg, it appears to be right kick in the video. 2. In English we don't refer to the big toe as 'thumb'. It's just called the big toe. I know from my Japanese friends that this is a common mistake, and while it is logical, it's unfortunately incorrect. Again, I like your work & how you are trying your best to help people enjoy karate. Gambate kudasai!!

No disrespect but I'm a Shito Ryu karate Kai and the side kick is similar to the back kick it comes from the hip and u keep the knee closer before u throw it. Watch Michael Jai White he has a beautiful side kick.

I love to use side kick when you have someone who rushes as they tend to run right into it

Do we do this little „pelvis shift“ also with front kick and back kick or only with side kicks?

Sir can I pls do the combinations of brown 3 rd shotokan karate pls sir

I m from India, please make video in speed in kick

Is it bad if we have our upper body lower (horizontal) or if upper body stays upright is better? Bruce Lee kicks with upper body lower not high?

When i practiced karate my Sensei's could drive that kick so hard it would stop me dead in my tracks. They would use it on less painful parts as a demonstration and could really drive you back. How do you make it powerful? How do you make it feel like your thrusting and iron bar at somebodies body like what i experienced?

the foot in the floor dont turn? or can be turn when yu doing keage?

A question please - Could you please do a video on the difference between Kime & Shime? I think that would be really helpful. Regards from Australia.

@@KarateDojowaKu Thanks very much for your reply. About 'Shime' Firstly I may not be spelling it correctly but it sounded similar to 'kime;' just with the Shi sound in front on 'me'. To me it sounded like 'shee may'. But I could be wrong. The scenario was the Japanese instructor trying to give us an understanding of how to use muscles. He demonstrated as if he was squeezing out the water from a dish cloth. I had never heard the word before but I think he was trying to say that many of us were confusing Shime with Kime.

Hi Sensei, Where on the foot would be the point of impact against a bag? The side of the sole or the bottom of the sole, and is the heel involved? Thanks!

@Elurin

I don't think you want to be kicking a heavy bag with this kind of kick; it's a side snap kick, as opposed to a side thrust kick. Nice to use defensively if someone is rushing you, but since most of the force is applied in an upward motion (as far as I can tell) you aren't going to get a lot of power going forward.

Hmmm, no pivoting on the support foot?

I didn't have touch for the past 3 years as I was focusing in my studies now how can bring my form back
