The most complete tutorial on Mawhasi Geri on KZread. The idea of the fake jab followed by the kick is very useful for kumite. Thank you so much.

LMPROVE YOUR ROUNDHOUSE KICK (MAWASHI GERI)

This karateka is the real deal, people should truly learn from him!!! Great work

It is amazing that I can still learn something "new" (to me!) about a kick I was taught years ago and have seen many VHS/DVDs on the subject. Thank you, *JG.*

Sweet kicks, great explanation of training and strategy for use. Class as always!

Такой удар точно поставленный и очень тяжёлый Физическая форма атлета замечательно гармонирует с техникой Удар отработан идеально

Good job. I'm glad to see you're open to adaptive techniques. Keep up the good work.

thank you sensei johyn for one of the best tutorials ive seen on this kick

Thank you...great tips ❤❤❤

Thank you very much for your explanations, Sensei !

Excellent tutorial! Outstanding technique thank you sir .

Wow what a perfection!!!!!!

Beautiful. Great explanation and technique.

Very nice tutorial sir Thank you

Thanks Sensei Gardiner. Very clear and precise.

The best tutorial on Mawashi Geri i've seen! Approaching the kick from different angles. Thank you!

It's practical. Thank you for sharing. ❤

Great Tutorial! Will surely use it.

Awesome Video Sensei, thank you.

Exercise #2 is terrific. Probably the one and only exists on KZread. 👍👍

Great exercise, and a good idea to break down complex movements into smaller parts. I have trained Karate, Taekwon-Do, Kickboxing and Muay Thai, and while kicks were executed differently in each sport, all beginners did the same mistake of trying to kick flat-footed.

Doing Karate since 20 years for now, loved Mawashi Geri since the beginning and I'm pretty good at this. Even for me this helped me improved it a little more. Thanks to you!

Excellent Shotokan Mawashi tutorial 5 stars 🌟

John, really made a great change to see a Black Belt master demonstrating Shotokan technique as well as you can. My style was Tae Kwon Do which I studied for five years in the RAF back in the 1970s by a South Korean Major who fought in Vietnam with the Americans. I cannot recall since watching KZread when it started, in seeing anyone on here demonstrating a round-house kick with your power, speed, technique (a word my master drilled into me) and conviction as my master Rhee Ki-ha taught me and my RAF pals. I truly hope the many so-called Black Belts that we now have running martial art clubs and who put their selves on here, with the belief they are good enough to teach, get to watch you, because they need to know what true martial arts mastery actually is.

WOW !! That was quick and a “Thank You”. as well 🙂 Later in life after the RAF and Civil Engineering I became a Maths Teacher in some very tough schools, I never taught TKD even though asked, but Master Rhee at the end of a session would talk about many aspects of life such as humility, respect, politeness and maturity which I did the same to my pupils when I could. I also in life came across other martial art exponents and generally the better they were, the more they had of such worthy traits. Your reply shows that is the same for you. @@jkgardiner

This came in at the right time,I have just practiced this kick and the fall its still hurts 😅Thank you Sensei Gardiner for the video! I will try to put this in practice.

Very good tutorial and covers all the mistakes that I commonly see. I like the chair exercise.

Love this tutorial

Excellent thank you wish I was showen those years ago ❤❤

This is great,The good thing you are teaching here is lifting the knee vertical similar to what bill wallace used to do this way you do not know what kick is coming mawashi yoko or ura mawashi done in the traditional way it is easily telegraphed.Look forward to seeing more.

Super demo, I’m going for Brown belt in Wado Ryu next month and this has been really helpful, thanks for posting!

Thanks for the foot information ☺️

Clearing powerful kick

I’ve taught this method of roundhouse for 4 decades. Advanced people can make their kick drop slightly at the end of the arc for more power. The question mark kick will is easier to learn and sneaky, but it’s best to learn how to set up and land the bigger kick first. I always emphasize keeping the hands up for this. Ie, starting w hands at face level and pulling the rear hand past the hip for power, as this guy does, but also keeping the front hand up for defense, particularly against a counter wheel kick. This doesn’t sacrifice any power and also allows you to shoot your rear hand cross to the face from your chin. Ie, less telegraph.

Nice tutorial. I commend this

Superb training. Absolutely what I needed because I'm working on my sidekicks I practice Tang Soo do. This was a great training. I will implement these. Thank you so much brother

Great guide. Thanks sensai

When the KZread algorithm works. Subbed. I need to work on my rotation as admittedly, my kicks aren’t the best they could be. Osu

Thank cause i always struggle with mawashi.

Instep kicking is o.k. for tournaments, but if you need to break bones the ball of the foot is the best point of contact.

Fantastic 👍👀

That first kick is incredible

Excellent explanation. As someone who trains in Muay Thai, I was interested to see how you generate power. Great to see the similarity in the importance of throwing that hip into the mix and going through the pad.

I find many students get the power easily if you tell them to concentrate on pointing the heel towards your target. Greatly simplifies the explanation and much less for them to concentrate on. Everything else tends to just fall into place

That is the most important part in my opinion. As you say the rest almost happens automatically if the support foot works properly.

That was revealing a profound secret. Sensei Gardiner's deadly kicks have incredible speed which does not compromise the quality. This demonstrates how deeply exact his technique is. I enjoy watching it over and over again without getting bored. My question is about the equivalent for a punch? What does equalize the force of a heel-first kick in a punch, still thinking for decades about the greatest and most efficient answer?

oushh 👊🙏

Dude looks like my manager from the UK. When the video started, i almost was like: "So this is what he does in his free time..?" 😂😂 Anyway, smooth technique man. Definitely giving these a try in my home sessions. Oss!

Nice video and interestingly I see a few points or differences between sport and traditional karate. From a sport perspective, I have no issues. In traditional karate, we only use the ball of the foot for this kick. The foot that stays on the ground does not turn all the way like shown here (I was taught the same in sport version of Wado Ryu style), but rather stops halfway there, so at the moment of the kick the back and front foot are facing the same direction, which ensures the maximum (ground-body-leg) connection and power. In Wado we also learned to bring the leg up (like with mae geri) and then twist and kick. In the traditional version, we don't lift the leg at the back and then do the turn, but rather lift straight from the side at a 45-degree angle, then continue until the knee points straight at the target at which point you release the foot, without losing the momentum. The point is you stay connected to the ground lightly while twisting the back foot and lifting the front leg, kicking with the whole body, and at the moment of impact your back foot is firmly on the ground (not on the side, or the edge, or the ball or the toes). Thank you for clarifying a doubt I had for years after switching from sport karate to traditional, why I remembered a slightly different body position towards the opponent when I used to kick with a flat foot (not a ball of the foot). It makes sense as the impact comes more from the leg swing than a kick!

Very good , it would be great to see , inside mawashi to groin , and chin , or stomach , using feint of normal mawashi , then turn into inside mawashi , geri to groin etc , then use combination of even backfist combo , twisting techniques ,

Comparto muy Bien la explicación, pues se debe respetar y comprender la biomecánica de la cinética mio-articular, por lo que el pivote es MUY importante, GRACIAS

Man, that kick looks heavy, and dangerous, too! Form, balance, power and speed? Check ✅

nice kick
