Very nice. Excellent to get people moving their head and thinking in terms of counter-striking rather than the exchange of: move close, strike/defend, move back out, circle, repeat. Keep your guard up and chin down, great work
Hi Kudoista, as always nice content, I follow your channel for a year now and since I live in Kosovo, here there is no Kudo Dojo only (Karate, Kickboxing, Judo and other arts), I started training in Kudo in my own finding content and tutorials online, I believe there are a lot of countries where there are not many dojos or not at all, so if you can continue spread this art in form of sparring sessions, technique tutorials, and other Kudo content I would be grateful, and I think it will help Kudo increase popularity, because a lot of people would fell in love if they would have a chance to see in action this amazing blend of Martial Arts, whish you health and prosperity!
Thank you. I’m actually considering the idea of putting together some online courses for people in your position. It will take me a while to get it done though so in the meantime I’ll try to post more regularly.
@@kudoista That would be awesome, also the online courses can be for different levels, starting from white belt and progressing further. You can use some of your already recorded videos and add new stuff along the way, also you can give certificates for different belts, or you can use an online platform for that, so people can access everything if they pay the fee, so you can have youtube as freemium but also a paid platform for people who want extra stuff. I would be the one to join for sure, and I beleave there are also other people like me who would feel great about learning Kudo and advancing in this system.
Hi. i'm a kudo practitioner from Italy. I discovered this channel today and this is some amazing stuff! In my gym we have only 2 trainings x week (which is very low imo). Now the question that I have is: how can I do the stuff of your channel in solo training? I tried cross training but it's too expensive for me. Thank you again! OSU!
If you don't want to do solo training, I suggest you go take a walk around your neighborhood and start fighting with strangers. Real life training and doesn't cost you any money. Just choose guys you know you can beat.
Welcome back Sensei! How are you? Injuries... They are part of our game, they are part of us... So, lately I'm close to my 3rd kyu exam and in my sparring sessions head movements are the order of the day, they can be used as a trap to induce the opponent to launch certain blows in order to leave him exposed in a precise areas in which I will strike immediately afterwards: for example, as far as I'm concerned, I like to cross my fists with those of my opponent, I have developed this skill over the years. The most important thing is always the mind, keep moving, feint and keep your chin attached to your shoulder as much as possible: I think for this last aspect, someone with experience in boxing is the best choice for your sparring. And what about your 3rd dan, are you preparing? Continue to publish your passion, (which is mine too!) through your videos on your channel. P.S.: I read "Breath" by Rickson Gracie as you recommended me, I wanted to ask you, how much do you think meditation can help us in our fighting discipline? Bye and see you next time. OSU!
I regard training the mind as probably one of the most important aspects in shaping a martial artist. The mind controls the body. Your mental state will determine the effectiveness of your actions. When I first started competing I really struggled with an erratic negative mentality. The many years I spent competing in martial arts were really a long exercise in learning how to control my own mind. So I think anything you can do to help you understand and train your mind is an essential part of your training. I studied various forms of meditation in my youth. Everybody is different so you have to find something that works for you. I struggled with seated quiet meditation but I found simple chi gong breathing exercises and positive affirmations to be very beneficial. I also read various books on sports psychology and used visualization techniques to help me with my performance. This aspect of my training has probably had the most positive impact on my life. It’s an ongoing journey though, with deeper and deeper layers. Good luck in finding your path.
Hi sensei, I have to thank you for your heartfelt and detailed response! In all sincerity, before starting Kudo 3 years ago, I had been training me too in chi kung for a couple of years and I still practice some breathing exercises (the eight pieces of brocade). Focusing only on my breathing helps me to relax a little bit after training and before going to sleep. So there is something in common in our journey. Merry Christmas holidays. Thanks Sensei! OSU!
I’ve just been busy with work. I have various footage recorded but don’t have time to edit it. I’m actually thinking about putting together a curriculum based online Kudo course .
NHG (Neo head gear) Helmets like these are used in a number of full contact fighting sports. The most popular one being Kudo, an amateur mma style which evolved from Kyokushin karate.
These guys need to learn to keep their chins tucked in when throwing punches. Look at how they throw punches with their chins in the air... They're just begging to get their chins checked.
I’ll try harder in future. Perhaps you could share a video of yourself in action showing us how it’s done so we can all learn from your shining example master.
Hey, don't get mad at me, you're the ones posting these videos showing people the wrong way on how to do things. If you're going to post these videos, shouldn't you want to teach people the right way to do things?! I shouldn't have to be the one telling you this! @@kudoista
@@robertnegron6804Oh I’m not mad. I just presumed you must be someone of superior skill. You wouldn’t criticize other people’s sparring videos unless you are able to demonstrate superior skill under similar pressure would you? That would make you an arm chair critic. Nobody respects the opinions of dickheads like that. It’s easy to pick apart other people’s videos. I can see lots of things in my own videos that I need to work on and improve. I make no claims of perfection. I’m just sharing insights I’ve learned and what I’m working on. It’s always a work in progress. I look forward to seeing your demo.
@@kudoista lol, no, you're mad, don't front. It's boxing 101...you should know to keep your chin tucked in before you go around posting videos if your intentions are to educate people...wouldn't you want to be teaching people the right way? Or would you rather continue to stir people the wrong way?!
@@robertnegron6804 Your unwillingness to walk your talk suggests that you are someone lacking in skill and experience. Just sitting at your keyboard picking at other people, regurgitating basic theories you learned in class. Yes keeping your chin tucked is a good basic rule. But in reality even experienced pros break basic rules all the time. I could watch a UFC fight and pick it apart listing all the fundamental rules broken by the fighters. We have the fundamentals for good reasons. But when it’s time to fight we have to be free enough to flow and be creative. if you stay too restricted by fundamentals you will be predictable and easily beaten. This is something that experienced fighters will understand. I suspect you don’t have a lot of combat sport competition experience and that’s why you see everything from a narrow perspective. Hiding behind a keyboard criticizing other people despite your own lack of ability is just pathetic really. I shouldn’t be the one to have to explain this to you. I guess you’ve lacked having good male role models.
Head move and pivot left to right is very useful specially during the tournaments. Thanks for sharing this is a great teaching.

Looking foward to it.
