interesting point on the chamber. I've learned the "mae mawashi" for the most part of my life as a karate guy, just close to my black belt i've learned to do the mawashi with the traditional view. Now there's this detail on the knee. We truly learn something new everyday.
Oss, it can be performed many ways, but I believe the full trajectory of the kick is achieved when chambering with the knee up to the side! Best of luck with your training!
Good detail sensei. I'm a shodan in Iwama ryu Aikido and also just re-taking Karate couple of years ago. I agree totally about the details.. shodan means you know the basics..then you learn the more details that make the whole difference in the effectiveness of the technique.
Very good Job, Master Jason Leung ... i'm practicing traditional (not sport) Karate for many, many years and i was taught to initiate the move of mawashi geri with that "old" preparation of kicking leg that You briefly showed in the video ( at 1':02") and it actually is a little bit hard .... After many years i found a school/association that tries to combine the modern biomechanics knowledge with the tradition of Shotokan, that should always be respected and that's the riight path to follow, imho ... And that's what Your videos are showing, too ... Thank You ! OSS
Hats off to you. Always great instruction in your videos and demonstrated excellently, a pleasure to watch, truly is. I'm a big fan of your channels as a whole, very honest, no fluff, no click bait, just solid well put together techniques and easy to listen to and follow. Credit where credits due 🙏🏼🥋
If you have knoledge about self defense and do karate traditional for many years, i recomended kick mawashi geri like it was a mae geri, circular movement but the point of impact is in front of you not on the side, because with minimun mistake you can break your toes because in a real fight people can move faster and this kick can be a dangerous fail, kick mawashi geri like mae geri and you have a solid and easy kick with the traditional form, i saw some japanese senseis do that!! And is the best way.
Happy Holidays Shihan! My right definetely better than left in mawashi geri but in yoko geri its the same either leg. Thanks as always and keep it coming...p.s. I have groomed 4 yellow belts this school semester the 4th testing today...its exciting.
Also my Sensei is punishing me with sore ribs for not tucking my hands in every now and then I have a habit of being lazy while executing the kicks and I'm reminded by eating a kick. 😩
Cheers. I will try this. Yes my sensei told me to lift the knee sideways first too. I told him you have better balance and speed going thru the middle close to your other knee but guess I have to do as Sensei says😂. Hell either that or I rather do a Muay Thai kick to replace it
In 8 years of traing ( 3 times a week ) 5 day courses . I could never master mawashi.I could kick high both feet front kick..Do head kick Keage ,high ushiro geri .Fairly high yoko geri .BUT only middle height roundhouse .LOL
Jason thanks for the great work. I hope you will cope with criticism. I have 2. 1. Is , if the kick starts with the knee facing 90 degrees to the direction you facing, what if there is no space on your side . Or at that point if the opponent takes the space between your floored leg and your raised knee. Wouldn't it be better that the knee raises facing forward, where the opponent is, and in case the opponent rushes into you , the knee will stop them . 2. Are you not mispronouncing the word karate. Being an art you teach, would it hurt if you pronounced it as the originators of the art pronounce it. Karate , instead of karari
First thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! To answer your questions. 1. The way I teach roundhouse kick basics are strategically taught that way so one understands mechanics and proper torque. But as you pointed out there is no one way to perform. Having the knee chamber from the side, you perform the whole trajectory of the kick. I like this wide looping way because it avoids clashing with your opponent in front. I do perform the kick with the knee chambering in front as well, but it is situational. Often times however, I end up shin clashing with my opponent if we both raise our knees to the front. 2. I pronounce karate, with an American accent simply because that is how it is recognized in America. I was born here. And frankly I could pronounce it truly Japanese, but on the TH-cam platform many of my viewers are in America. If you watch Jesse Enkamp, or Dojo Waku they both pronounce it the same way. OSS, Jason 🥋🔥
I noticed in real speed you don't lift your knee to the side but somewhere in between? The slow-mo is great technique, but real speed / real life is different. ;)
This is because in practice we go step by step. In real time it is more blended in. If I had been practicing with my knee always coming up to the front I would not be able obtain maximum swing and power.
Did u do a tutorial for reverse snap kick I’m a black belt and I’ve been trying to improve on that kick ( I’m not sure if that kick is practiced in shotokan ) also called ura mawash geri ( pretty sure I didn’t spell that right 💀)
Not sure what reverse snap kick is .I loved keage ( snap facing kick ) we did it in shotokan .Another description we used was inside mawashi geri to describe keage to the head or body.AlA Billy Jack.
Just watched the video of the reverse snap kick .Yes we practised that kick ,only diff is when I do it i connect with the outside edge of my foot .I bring my knee up half way across my chest ,then snap it up to connect with Edge of my foot ,left edge of foot to left side of opponents head. Its not a very powerful kick but more a stunning kick ,which gave me a split second to deliver a fast chudan right reverse punch .In fact even if I missed contact ,the fact my foot was waving around in the other guys face hid my set up reverse punch from his view .Ha Ha.Great days 1972 to 1980 my license is stamped all the way through with the shotokan tiger .Sensei Enoeda.
I am just one who follows karate and trying to compare the method of execution of strikes and blocks; and being unlearned in Karate I might have a wrong notion of how to perform one technique as I perceived. In this video the round house kick is executed, first by bringing up the kicking leg on the side before flinging it as a round kick. This execution of bringing up first the leg on the side will retard the momentum of the kick as compared to a direct kick from the ground flinging the kicking leg upward to the target. I think a round kick should not be so "round" or circular but elliptical or oblong.
Great video Jason Sensei! How have you been? We were Facebook friends a while back but my page was hacked and I started a new one. I'd like to add you again.
if you pick your knee up out to the side like that people will see it coming from a mile away, talk about telegraphing!, it will get stopped kicked immediately even by an old guy like me ha
@@SENSEIJASON I wasnt mocking you bro, I was saying you are correct, your execution is very good. I was saying chambering like you showed is not good to chamber is very bad and I was also surprised when you said many schools teach to kick that way. Those schools teachers teaching weak bad form kicks, we both agree with that dude. Thanks for good channel.

@@SENSEIJASON I highly appreciate you allowing space for the difference in technique and enlightening me on language usage. Respect 🙏
@@SENSEIJASON Agreed on both point 1 and 2. Have a Merry Christmas. ☺
With the knee chambering to the side gives you more stability. Great tutorial.
