Really loving the insight into Japanese culture that you're showing us! I would love to see you do a reaction to Chuck Norris, seeing as he is a pretty famous Karate practitioner. Also, I would be very curious to see you react to the video game series Yakuza, or ryu ga gotoku in Japanese.
I don’t know if this is true or not, but I’d like to add that, apparently in some martial arts, you go with left hand first, since the samurai had swords. If you pulled out the sword with the left hand extended you are very likely to cut your extended left hand in the process. Obviously you don’t want that, which is why it is a signal (to you bowing “opponent”) that you mean no harm/have no intention to attack. Well at least that’s what my Aikido teacher told me. 😅
Would love to see you review different styles for both pros, cons, usefulness in a tournament vs in a street, etc. A good example and a request would be to get your take on Krav Maga. Loving your content! Edit : Specifically Israeli Defense Force full on krav maga. Not a west valley rich district 30 minute class in the back of a YMCA. :)
In our Jujutsu system we have a particular order in which the hands and feet move. To kneel down, you start with your left leg firs then followed by your right leg. Then the same order with the hands, left hand then right hand. When returning you bring the right hand back then the left. Same thing when standing up, right leg then the left. I was told we do this because the Samurai were always right handed and wore their weapons on their left side which needed the right hand to draw. Also standing up with the right leg first and down on the left was for balance as you were drawing the weapon our in front of you with your right hand, the weight could unbalance you. As well as ensuring your right big toe was overlapping your left so you don't get your feet stuck which trying to stand up.
I injured my right knee in another sport. Sitting like that causes me great pain, and I gave up my new karate style because of it. In my old style, we never sat like that.
Yes the difference is that when you bow and putting your left hand first the other hand was used to draw a sword in a fight and when you bow with your both hands you show that you are not going to use aggression
@@jamieo2147 You are totally right. I described it wrongly. Obviously you want the right hand to be ready faster so it leaves the center later and joins earlier. Yes, I checked in the "subvideo" for the mirrored belt, but the dogi make it more obvious!
What was shown here was the basic, polite bow ("zarei" - roughly translated "seated respect") not the "I messed up big time" bow (called "dogeza" - roughly "dirt low sit"), in that one the top of the head touches the floor with the hands spread wide. In zarei, the hands prevent the face from touching the floor, but there should really be an airgap between your hands and your face even in the deepest zarei.
Wow, I didn't know that. With my Sifu and Sensei, I bowed in a different way, and it was while standing not sitting. Very interesting Sensei, thank you for the lesson. I cannot bow anyway right now, since I am after spine surgery, so I am not yet allowed to even try some things. But I will remember this, for the time that I will be able. BTW what's going on with reaction to Cobra Kai season 4, when are you relisting another reaction? I love your reactions, interesting to learn about Japanese culture.
This is a bow to your senseis/senpais after some ground workout possibly or in very formal occasions. It is not a bow towards an opponent. You should never look your senseis/senpais to the eye. It is disrespectful. The eye to eye rule is only for opponents...
Definitely never gonna bow to any human being like that. A standing bow, sure. But on the ground? No thanks, that's like worship. Every knee shall bow to Jesus Christ.
Respect and worship are entirely different things. We use this bow occasionally. Usually the lesson after a grading if someone has graded to 1st Dan they will take seizer at the end of the lesson and we bow kneeling. Or maybe if we have a guest instructor. Most other times we will bow standing. It's a sign of respect that is all.

Chuck Norris is a mainly Kyokushin practioner whereas the sensei is a practioner of shotokan
The face and eyes look at the floor in the standing bow. for respect. I once trained at Fumio Demori’s dojo. Your bow is perfectly shown!
More Cobra Kai!! More stuff to react to, season 4 is the best one!
IT WORKED
Great lesson!
Nice!❤
Super
Ya
Thank you.

KAJUKENBO is my passion
Another universal concept. Move using the torso , like using the centre of the torso when cutting with a katana
Thanks for showing this. New insight as to how japanese think.
The way of the fist

In karate they make us bow standing and we move our hips then chest then shoulders and hands to our sides then looking at our hearts
The secret is the core. 😊

❤️❤️❤️
I'll starting karate soon wish me luck sir 🥺
You should play young Miyagi if they ever make a prequel series or movie about him
When you are not jumping up from seiza, which leg do you stand on first? Maybe a short video on this?
I injured my right knee in another sport. Sitting like that causes me great pain, and I gave up my new karate style because of it. In my old style, we never sat like that.
Does the way of bowing vary across styles/martial arts(Japanese) typically?
This good to know. Never told about this. I that you bow from the wast.
when is episode 2 of season 4 cobra kai ? :D can't wait for your reaction
👍
My sensei said that I should not put one hand down at the time, because I'm not carrying a weapon. He said that students do both hands at the time
Yes the difference is that when you bow and putting your left hand first the other hand was used to draw a sword in a fight and when you bow with your both hands you show that you are not going to use aggression
Interesting use of the title Coach
It ok to look down in a sitting bow?
I'm not sure if your video is mirrored, but in Aikido we're taught to always move the right hand later (if not same) than the left
I was taught left, right on the way down. Right, left on the way up. I think it is mirrored as in the clip of kata his do go is wrapped the other way
@@jamieo2147 You are totally right. I described it wrongly. Obviously you want the right hand to be ready faster so it leaves the center later and joins earlier.
Yes, I checked in the "subvideo" for the mirrored belt, but the dogi make it more obvious!
I was taught that it is left hand first. You did the right hand first.
Now I know how to apologize when I mess up badly and have to cut off my pinky

@@jamesfrankiewicz5768 oh shit my bad, so this the “I forgot to collect this dudes money, but let me go do it now” bow
What about bowing before randori? There is a correct way and a wrong way.
💗💗
.
Respect to Japanese Hun brothers.
sir my teacher end the class by saying solo matte re,what does it means?
what's your height?
You have to do a reaction video on the movie The Last Dragon
Do you know you ko Kae ri
I can't sit in seiza anymore
Bro can u don't put the snake on the screen when you are watching cobra Kai
Wow, I didn't know that. With my Sifu and Sensei, I bowed in a different way, and it was while standing not sitting. Very interesting Sensei, thank you for the lesson.

Hope you recover well. I know it's kinda late but happy new year.
Subcribies brothers
Yeah so just bow with a straight back, right?
I think you wear wrong karate gi
Cobra kai?
You bow Standing , With your spine straight and look eye to eye with other person .

@@Edgaros Oh okay I thnught it was against your opponent.
What? You never look the person in his eye when you bow that is from karate kid
Definitely never gonna bow to any human being like that. A standing bow, sure. But on the ground? No thanks, that's like worship.
Every knee shall bow to Jesus Christ.
Yeah yeah, whatever...

That is respect and honor it something you don’t have so stop talking about japanese culture
I bow down to Allah only, no one else
