Jesse, I am 41 years old and I happen to have arthritis on both side of my hips. What is your recommendation for the limitation on putting spins on the kicks?
It`s extremely painful if you strike the wrong part of your opponents leg like the blade of the shin but done correctly it is a devasting kick, a bit rough around the edges looking but very effective. Great video Sensei Enkamp, Respect !
Just turn the shin bone slightly into the kick and the foot is damaged. it's much easier to defend vs roundhouse kick over knee, but rare in karate. Not usually taught in championship preparation classes of Shinkiokushin. The attacker must aim very low to minimise the risk of broken bones.
this is basically a Pressure Point strike. If you land about 5 of them in a MMA fight, one of them will probably do significant Damage. If there were no gloves, you could do more Pressure Point punches. If you're wearing shoes, you could do more Pressure Point kicks. But the MMA uniform makes many of these strikes less useful..
That upwards motion on the calf was something I never knew about before. The majority of my fights rely on calf kicks, so it's great to learn something new like this. Thank you!
Kick to the Calf with the right timing and angle is devastating. I love you videos they are very informative! I am from Shinkyokushinkai Philippines. Osu!
Yo, I did this to my bully at school, really effective he screamed and went on the floor but because it was the the leg my school went "Eh, just a minor leg injury" but it works SO well thanks Jesse!
i was going to start this with "do you remember back in the 70s?" but then i remembered that not everyone is old anyway, back in the 70s, the sport of kickboxing was gaining some traction in the USA. there were many debates on rules, but everyone seemed to agree on banning leg kicks. the bottom line is that leg kicks mess you up and nearly no one has a clue on how to deal with them
Another great video. Now that we are mixed mode zoom/outdoor because of covid I am showing your videos to my students all the time. You are practically a Sensei at our dojo.
lol I searched up a webtoon called (how to fight/viral hit ) and the main charcater Hobin is known for his calf kick and funny enough you showed up, keep up the good work
I can attest it hurts like hell. I didn’t get kicked in the calf, but last week at class I pulled my right calf muscle. It was a sharp shooting pain that hurt beyond belief! I’m still limping from it. I imagine a full force kick to it would hurt way more than this pull
Brilliant move. This and the Sokoto Fumikomi to the knee are winners in a real fight. The knee/shin is possibly the most vulnerable part of the body that is difficult to defend.
@@MeinNameistCarlos ok there where some weird autocorrection in my last post. I did mean that these kicks dont look like you would fight for selfdefence, rather for sports. I mean yeah if its a street fight and you can stop your opponent from grappling it can be efective to hurt him there. But if i would have to defend myself i would do something different, because the leg hurts like hell, especially after time, but neither do you have the time in a serious situation nor will a hurt but not broke or distortion leg stop a aggressor.
Osu Sensei Jesse, If you aim more to the side of the calf, you can strike the common/superficial fibular nerve, which controls dorsi flexion of the foot, if you strike it hard, you will cause their foot to lose that action and they will have a numb-ish (technical term) foot. it has happened to me and it's god-awful. Also see MIchael Chandler vs Brent Primus. It demonstrates the result of this kick superbly. Osu
Found ur video informative n interesting calf leg kick n incorporating in combination with punches. Kudos. New subscriber to ur videos. Looking forward to more of ur strategies n techniques.
Very effective kick although also very easilly checked/blocked doing more damage to the kickers leg. Not one I'd throw much in MMA maybe occasionally to mix up strikes but if it forms a pattern or any tells, very easilly blokced. All the opponent has to do is turn thier shin to angle on to your leg, they dont even need to lift the knee so its a very quick check.
An idea for "How to..." series. How to come back to the martial arts after ACL injury. I know some people that had this kind of injury and still practice karate but it was a looong journey for them 🤔
In muay thai they tend to do this a lot so I actually kind of like seeing a karate version of it it's interesting and makes me look at karate a little differently.
I trained in Shotokan karate in the 70’s ...and low leg kicks were hardly evident...many martial arts disciplines rushed to ‘rediscover’ these muay thai techniques after the UFC revealed what worked and what was finger painting
This kick does real damage when it hits properly one of the most underrated kicks for sure.. Can I be apart of your amazing family I think all of us could do with an amazing family like yours
So, by repeated hits in that area, particularly in the outside region as described, can this incapacitate your opponents leg or is this used as a distraction?
Hello Jesse, I practice various kung-fu's from China, India, and Japan. While I did reach a 3rd degree black belt I feel like my basics are slipping, what videos would you recommend going from white belt techniques to black belt, kind of like a class?
Not so strange, it makes sense. I am accustomed to using the ball of the foot and using a cross-over footstep to get into position. I do like how you get an opponent to go round and round and then fake him out to deliver the kick. Just another tool for my tool box. I favor mixing in stuff from other arts to make my "point," pressure point. :) I favor using open hand when going to the opponents mug because it looks like a slap and does not LOOK so devasting especially when you push or draw back.
Thanks sensei. Just a question though, if u don’t mind answering, coming from a Thai boxing background, wouldn’t the kick be much more devastating if thrown with your shin rather than instep? I would love to hear your thoughts on this. Thank you 🙏 Osu.
Another particularly sore kick is a front kick delivered inside thigh just above the knee. My Sensei regularly uses me to demonstrate this and it's sore the first time but the second time you just want to go home 😂😂😂
@@KARATEbyJesse Many years ago I was a semi-truck driver and also studied Shorin-ryu at a local dojo. My fellow workers and I would go to a "working-class" tavern after work. One evening some "wanna-be bikers" came in all rowdy. I did NOT stop to remove my work-boots. A "bar fight" is NOT a tournament at a dojo. IT IS A BAR FIGHT. Three advanced upon me. Two went down with my kicks to the calves and thighs. The third got a spinning back heel kick to his groin. They left the tavern. I still had my work-boots on! ;- ) I no longer "frequent" taverns as I am an "old man" of 66-years of age. Keep up with your wonderful videos Jesse!

Low kicks are where it's at for self defense, in my opinion.
Great vid!
This is what we teach our students also
MechanicalMartialArtist real self defence kicking stops at belly button height in my opinion. So I fully agree!
@@MeinNameistCarlos Agree 100%
High fancy kicks will get your wig split in a real fight
I would rather say that belongs to mma. If you can kick like that. You can also run. And if it is self devenceit almost always comes to the ground
Schinkenkeks please explain your point to me. Maybe I don’t unterstand you, but my guess is that you said self defence is 10% boxing and 90% BJJ?
@@MeinNameistCarlos ok there where some weird autocorrection in my last post.

Appreciate your prompt reply❤
-Yes Okinawan Karate is pure martial art & deadly combat method. I call it "Pure Karate".
Got a lesson from Conor .. gotta learn and strenghthen the calf 🔥
Excellent video, very clear and it can really be applied to all disciplines, especially real life fighting.
I like the round-kick/uppercut/hook combo - made a little sequence around that just a few weeks ago! 😁 👍
It’s quite convenient eh? 😄
@@KARATEbyJesse
Yes, it feels very natural. 😎 🤙
I love simplicity made effective
it also requires conditioned shins ..great tactic
He must be the one who taught Ssamdog calf kick from the How To Fight newtube channel. Check it out guys, Hobin's a *BEAST* .
Bro I’m trying to learn the calf kick because of him 😭🧍🏻♀️
Nice thanks for helping people learn how defend themselves and getting me into karate
Great to hear! 👍
Nice one. Thanks Jesse! Greetings from Northern Ireland!
Definitely, simpler is better!
Simple, direct, effective all-around techniques are the best...
Cheers, Jesse! 🙏🏻
Exactly! 😄👍
What took me so long to discover this channel?
That was well explained. The combos were great a bonus!
Yup. Okinawan foot tech. Good stuff. Been doing this for years.

here because of hobin
Thats very cool thats a part of the body no one really thinks of. I like the uppercut straight after the inside calf kick.
Thanks you for all you teach us .congratulations
awesome kick..
Thank sensai now i wont injure myself.

Everything is easy to block if you suck at it
Thank you so much for showing and explaining that kick! Awesome
K-1 legend Ernesto Hoost used to do these low front kicks at that angle, and he's very well known for being one of the best at throwing leg kicks
Yup, it truly works (and hurts!) 😄
Good stuff, Jesse Sensei! As a uechi-ryu stylist, we would probably use the toes to strike with on that, but I can definitely see the value of it!
I learned this in Uechi-ryu originally

Say I saw the calf kick coming would it be an appropriate defensive movement to lift my front leg?
No because the kick travels upward, better to move/shuffle/step back
