His explanation on stances is vital which most dojos today would just tell you to do them without too much information. ASJ is very methodical in his craft. Excellent video ASJ!!
Man you are awesome, really looked up to as a kid and still sort of do. There's no doubting how much influence you've had on my childhood and watching this video is an added bonus ^_^
Power rangers still inspires me to this day. I grew up on the original 94-96 series and all the casts are real badass in real life. They really could do those moves like they did in the movie, no stuntman needed.
watching this reminds me of when I started Tae Kwan Do at 11. Exactly how they taught it then. Very traditional, love it. Wish you could put this out on DVD or Blu Ray
I'm about the same age as this video. Thanks for uploading it. I've always wanted to learn karate. Like you said, it's never too late :) you're an inspiration to many ASJ
I saw you first time being interviewed by James Hong in encyclopaedia of martial arts 20 years ago. Nice video this one. I really enjoyed reconnecting with Taekwondo basics. Peace!
I started doing martial arts because I was getting picked because of my vison impairment but its because of martial arts I've begun to learn so much about self confidence, respect & more. Though I need to work on sparring overall I do my best to improve each time.
Austin, I think you've earned a place in my books to be the voice of a new Disney Prince, because you're practically *Power Rangers* royalty. And I think you ought to also work as a martial arts instructor for maybe the next *John Wick* movie or something similar.
Very Good Video. My Martial Arts is numbered due to the physical pain that I have. I guess getting old happens. I wouldn't change my life though. Listen to your parents kids. Take care of your body cause you'll feel it later.
At 40.00 there is no way they can ever get the same spirit, dedication, talent that these three martial artists brought to Power Rangers. These days not even the acting is on par.
Your triple round house kick is amazing! Growing up watching you as the Red Ranger in Mighty Morphin and Gold Zeo Ranger were amazing! They should have Jason the red ranger to kick Tommy the green ranger so hard that his Dragon 🐉 shield break! I love and respect all of the original mighty morphin power ranger! I grow watching mighty morphin power ranger and didn’t realize Mr. St John is also a Tae Kwon Do Master! Super admiring you for your skill!
wow! this video really helped! I've been taking martial for four months now and I'm almost on my way to earning my yellow belt. however I was really interested in the taekwondo stuff because the martial arts dojo I go to does mixed martial arts. do you have any advice on becoming a good martial artist?
Practice!! The more you practice, live by the Black Belt principles, and dig deep into the roots of the various martial arts themselves, the better you will be, not only as a martial artist, but as a person. - Mel.
Actually, it's more TaeKwanDo than Karate, but most of the basic stuff is similar, but not exactly the same across several different forms and styles. ~Sarge
edgar brown No, because every martial artist is different and some styles of martial arts perform certain moves differently. Sometimes this difference can lead to a more powerful move. So while the side kick might be powerful for some, a hook kick, axe kick, round kick, crescent kick or front kick might be more powerful for someone else. For me, my more powerful kicks are the round kick and hook kick. I can perform an accurate axe kick, but unless my opponent is a little shorter than me or I can turn it into a combo move that gives me a bit of lift, it's not an effective kick. As a martial artist, you will learn what 'fits' you better. While you need to practice all moves until they become second nature, the moves you are best at will find your way into most routines that you make for yourself. Just ensure that you practice everything and on both sides. It'll make you a more well-rounded martial artist. ~Mel.
Austin St John Thanks for your opinion. I been practicing traditional martial arts for about 4 years. I notice my most powerful kick is the sidekick. Can u still kick head high like u use to sir?😉

Austin is Badass! The best ranger ever! The original red leader of power rangers and the legendary zeo golden ranger!

Austin is so good with kids
40:56 I love how they used the same first sparring scene from day of the dumpster.
Learning Karate from the red ranger is awesome!!!!

Great taekwondo video for beginners, I hope you can do another video with more advanced knowledge and techniques. It will be an honor learn from you.

I wouldn't change my life though. Listen to your parents kids. Take care of your body cause you'll feel it later.
Around the 40:00 mark was my favorite part of the video :).
Yes, SENSEI! It might be cool if I see you in Cobra Kai series.
Best Red Ranger and Zeo Gold Ranger
30:37 Is that ASJ in an exhibition against Hien Nguyen "Tsunami" from WMAC masters? That's pretty awesome.
I wish they would release this on dvd I would buy it in sec.
is Thuy Trang in this video i thought she was in one of these videos if so tell me what the video called and what part ?
found it
At 40.00 there is no way they can ever get the same spirit, dedication, talent that these three martial artists brought to Power Rangers. These days not even the acting is on par.
I would love to learn more karate moves from you, Mr St John, especially to learn kung-fu from actors like Jackie Chan and Jet Li.
Who better to teach martial arts than the iconic first red ranger
I'm wondering if I'm the only one who's martial arts teacher taught them to do side splits with their toes pointing "up to the sky"
ASJ is very methodical in his craft.

Austin, to this very day do you still study it and have you kept up with it?
Red Ranger in his prime days.
AUSTIN ST JOHN MARTIAL ARTS IS GREAT FOR KIDS !!!!
wow! this video really helped!

Oh Thuy, I was not expecting that. RIP
When I was 11, on my birthday, I wanted to dress red like you in some episodes..red shirt and red pants..haha
Now I can learn karate during corona
At the start of the video, I thought it was the jungle fury theme.
I wish i in this dojo
Was this before, during, or after he was on Power Rangers?
Cuphead After he was on Power Rangers.
The title is wrong. It's not just for kids, it's for anyone of any age! But thanks for posting this!
The video, when first released, was aimed primarily at children. However, like you said, it is a good beginner video for anyone. ~Mel
I love you Austin!
What style of karate is this? Also,Austin is the best.
Hello asj it was awesome meeting you in houston! Anyways is any of this shotokan? And do all forms of karate share basics like these?
Actually, it's more TaeKwanDo than Karate, but most of the basic stuff is similar, but not exactly the same across several different forms and styles. ~Sarge
Austin St John Is it true the side thrust kick is the powerful kick in all of the traditional arts?
edgar brown No, because every martial artist is different and some styles of martial arts perform certain moves differently. Sometimes this difference can lead to a more powerful move.
So while the side kick might be powerful for some, a hook kick, axe kick, round kick, crescent kick or front kick might be more powerful for someone else.
