One thing that is for sure is that I am definitely not a master. I am simply trying to master my techniques, but that is just a dream goal. My target is to one day have good karate, which is hard because I am not a natural. I just try my best. Kindest regards, Andre
Your humble comment doubled how much I admire you now! It is easy to see immense speed like yours and become envious and focused on imitating that level of skill.... a real challenge. Inspiration without imitation is hard. But you inspire me.
There will be more videos, I believe also from my classes in Venice, Italy. It was a fantastic time both there and Germany. It is wonderful to recieve so much positive feedback from those who trained.
hi Sensei. Oss!. I have been in many brawls, usually protecting a female. I recently got in touch with my previous sensei and I have really used a mix of Jiu Jitsu and karate for street fights. I don't know if he is ok with what I've done, but I know you have used yours as a protector type too. It was literally your job. I see the efficacy in your movements and I would truly love the chance to attend a seminar some day. I started Shotokan at age 9. I've done some MMA and (stupidly) street fights. I truly see that you walk the walk. OSS! Additionally besides trying to focus on Jiu Jitsu a bit I have tried to make sure that if I throttle a heavy bag that I am fully aligned and not trying to show off. The architecture and biomechanics behind your karate techniques aren't ego only (we all have one) - they're literally mathematical. Alignment and physics will knock a big dude out. Structural efficiency saves energy and kicks ass
Damn you are so fast, accurate and crisp, would have loved to trained with you in my younger days, the epitome of a sensei! Thank you for the pure pleasure of watching you and the excellent points made.
By the way, I respect all approaches. Nevertheless, I practice karate as a martial art for protection, not for play. Karate as a martial art is `not for everyone', Training is hard, there must be contact, and practice is focused on effectiveness outside the dojo. In my experience, many people claim to follow this Karate way, but their physical training doesn't. These videos are reflective of karate as a traditional Japanese martial art. Waffling and theory doesn't make a martial art.
I admire your technique and karate but you have much to learn in judging by your control of technique. It takes more skill to cut a leaf in the wind than a bamboo tree rooted but wavy. It is amateurish to kick a still opponent in demonstration just to show a technique. Sadly it shows little of your martial arts knowledge in whole.
@@sylvanusjoseph1140 I agree, but imagine if I wasn't kicking slowly and lightly. The fact is that I am not hurting anyone, otherwise no one would return to my seminars and certainly no one would offer to demonstrate. Yes, there is a little more contact like here in Japan, but to injure a stationary person for a demonstration is disgusting. I would never do that and haven't. Best wishes from Japan.
@@sylvanusjoseph1140 These were senior students, so being able to take hits should be part of their skill set an judging from the footage here it is. That is why you practice body conditioning in Karate, it should be part of every single training session from the get go, and after years of toughening, body conditioning and let's not forget building the muscle to protect the tissue underneath you might be amazed what your body can take. That's not theoretical internet chit chat, it's just what i see at my Dojo every other day.
Great to hear! I came back half a year ago after more than 15 years break, and I can only encourage you to carry on. My humble advice: 1) Practice! Hard! Every day! 2) Get yourself a heavy bag and actually HIT something, best tool there is for power and speed. Hitting the air is never enough. 3) Be patient.
this guy is very fast, and his punches are very accurate and powerful and this is the real karate , only a fool would be crazy to have a confrontation with him ! few people can reach that level in karate !
Ririon cam an experienced mma fighter or kickboxer or wrestler wouldn't have any problems kicking his ass. Boxer would have superior hand technique. Those slaps he's doing are ridiculous, those are not punches that shit is just cute
@@luka2298 No, boxers don't have superior hand techniques. And Boxers don't do kicks. Many kickboxers learn their kicks from karate, Muay Thai, and Taekwondo. Boxers have better footwork in some cases (like Manny Pacquiao and Mohamed Ali). Without the gloves on, karate is very strong. Some UFC champions have karate background, like Machida. Many boxers have very slow hand speed cause they do hooks. Hooks are powerful but very slow and easy to defend against. Watch some Russian MMA fighters who have learn Wushu (Kung fu). They block hooks easily using their elbows, not fists. You don't seem to know anything.
subtil and original technics who send us to the roots of karate...i admire so much Asai sensei as i admire Kanazawa , Kase, Higaonna seinseis...I will be very happy to learn from you if u came to Morroco...Best reagards...Oss
I see Whipping Hands in the techniques of Master Bertel and that is a good thing because the universal strikes only add to your arsenal. I am seeing a complete Karateka with advance thinking in the arts.
It looks like I will be teaching in Europe again next year (also seminars in New Zealand, South Africa and Japan). So for those of you who attended my January/February 2012 seminars in Germany and Italy, see you again! Next time, another "Level Up" on Asai-ha Shotokan-ryu. Regards, Andre Bertel
This Video Has Inspired Me To Get My Gi Back On After 20 Years,Excellent Tutorial,As A 50 Year Old Man,Any Advice On Building Up Hand Speed Would Be Very Much Appreciated
Very beautiful and inspiring, Thank You Sensei Bertel ... :-) !!! All Your videos give a very impressive idea of how effective Traditional Karate can be and they should be seen by those people who criticize traditional way saying that You could never use it in a real fight for self-defence (that imho is one of the purposes of a martial art but NOT the only one, nor the most important, anyway ...) ... Unfortunately it happens (at least in my country, Italy) that traditional Shotokan is often taught and practiced in a way that brings a certain degree of stifness and hardness to Your body, following a certain "false" idea of strength and "kime" ... And people after 40 start to have some serious problems in the joints of knees and back, suffering for pains, etc ... it happened to me (and many other people) despite i keep doing stretching and exercises every day ... ON the contrary, Your way focuses on fluidity and softness, despite the power expressed by the techniques and i think that this is the way one should practice in order to have a good karate even when he's getting older ... Now i found a school that fortunately has this type of "setting" ... anyway, very beautiful video !!! And Amazing Ushiro Geri :-) ... i'm a very poor 2nd Dan and i wish i was taught that way when i had a coloured belt !
I like to see this man in UFC or ONE in action like royce gracie.. I can tell that this man trully has talent in karate.. Snappy salute to you.. From philippines..
Hello sir. Take my salute.hope you are well. I'm faizul islam. From, Bangladesh. I'm a small karate fighter. I watch your videos every day. Your style, balance is awesome.and your a very good teacher. Oss
@Martin Turner It's humiliating for the student to be hit in front of his peers like that. Anybody can yoko geri a stationary target. He should be demonstrating full control and he should be hitting pads with full contact, not the other way around. Don't you agree? Imagine if he came to a bjj place and wanted to learn something and the coach demonstrated something on him, in front of his peers, but instead of putting the focus on the technique he choked Andre out. What is the reasoning behind pulling through with a technique during a seminar for you?
@@sochin7777 He control a lot, but put to each hit some power. You learn a lot when a sensei hit you a little like that. This can look rough, but you are pretty happy to take some light blow like that. :D If Andres didn't control, they would be hurt. He is not even using 10% of is power. With a strong stance in karate, you can take without injurie some light kick.
Hi, quick question. At 4:25 you show a takedown followd by a kick, then state that stepping in to punch is wrong so you should kick. Isn't moving towards a downed person to hit them unnecessay force for self defence? They are not an immediate threat because of distance/grounded as well as facing away from you.
If you fight against one person that is, yes. But facing multiple attackers you'll need to take each of them down for good. You probably won't win against three attackers by just throwing them to the ground. And also it won't always be possible for you to make an escape, leaving you with no choice but to fight them. Basically you are right - as long as you don't have any particular reason to do so, hitting a downed person is against the law (at least where I'm from). But then again I am not a lawyer so I can't tell you the details. And on a final note, something I have heard very, very often: Fights have to be taken case by case, meaning every situation is different, laws won't always cover for every decision you make. As a rule of thumb, I've been told, it's okay to base your actions on this principle: As long as every decision you make in a fight can be considerd reasonable and as such be presented in court, you won't be the one found guilty. The judge himself is human, too. Though of course, I can't assure you, that this will always be the case. Just what I heard. If anyone has other views or information on this, feel free to correct me. Regards
PizzaA Hi PizzaA, yes i see what you mean and agree. I just wanted to know if this instructor knew that. Too many martial artist don't know the law and essentially teach people how to go to prison. Maybe it was mentioned but not shown in the video, i don't know, i just have a bug about people doing whatever they want and calling it "true karate"
@shogunsan21 I've turned the hips over further and not used the heel... This was not to injure the participants (this is something we used `for training' in the course for kicking accuracy practice, and so we could use a little more force).... I explained this to the participants on this drill. Of course you were not there, so your comments are based on a look through a key hole. If I don't control my ushiro-geri it is a `little different' from what's featured in these videos... ;-)
andre~I'm Dr.Wang's student from tobu Kai in chch in 2002.m sam eddy(son of Dr.wang r now living in Taiwan.So happy to watch ur films here ,we miss u~haha^^
Fair comments. I think if one competes traditional shobu-ippon is best for karateka as it develops that `one chance' skill. You treat the opponents chudan gyaku-zuki is like a stab with a knife to your abdomen. Now I've long retired from competition (when 30ish) I continue to hit the heavy bag with full power and use the makiwara. In the instructors training the kumite is can be a little `rough' but still jodn is controlled to avoid a blood bath. Full-contact for the bag is good enough.
@shogunsan21 1. Firstly, Asai Sensei had me do his final interview in English (SKM) - please read! 2. Mrs. Asai (Asai Sensei's widow) used several clips of me in his funeral video (which further angered the JKS honbu because I quit). 3. I was never expelled from any group, but that is what some people who are jealous of me are saying now... 4. If people such as yourself say such things you are disrespecting my teacher Asai Tetsuhiko because he put huge efforts into my karate.
That's true, but this mentality leads to achieving a higher level and maximizing oneself. This type of psychology is what I take to training every day, and even though I am far from happy with my karate, it has helped me to get where I'm at now. Kindest regards, Andre
@Ronin6575 Thanks so much! Don't worry about the buzz of little bugs that if expose themselves will get squashed. The little bug even tells me to "come to America to fight him" even though he is not revealing who he is, and America is a `slightly big' land mass. If so keen on a fight he is welcome. Back to reality (not fakes tapping on their computer - but KARATE - what I am showing when teaching here) Asai Sensei did JKA karate - so that is what I teach, and also his special techniques.
its pure theory,not bunkai,do you see him pulling any of that off in a real match with very few rules like karate combat for example or mma or even kudo karate.
peace on you I like your work , i like karate and this is the first time that i see a nice demonstration like this.Good work and i hope see you in Tunisia to give us a cours. ;) peace on you
haha, true, it is always out of the eyes of the spectator. A white belt seeing a 1st dan, thinks the 1st dan is a master, a 1st dan seeing a 5th dan thinks the 5th dan is a master. But the moment you yourself think you're a master, you stop growing. Karate itself is the master and we are all just it's pupils.
That's kind of interesting. One question, if you don't mind: I practice on the bag very often, and I have come to notice that when doing bag work, I automatically fall into a certain "kickboxing mode", meaning my punches look more like boxing but like "correctly" executed tsukis. My mawashi geris pretty much resemble what Thai boxers are doing. Have you noticed something similar as well? OSU!
5:04 this is not ok. Uke is clearly not prepared and slams his head on the floor. Sensei Bertel has great skills, he doesn't need to be rough on his uke like this to command respect. Stuff like this has the opposite effect.
No tiene ningún respeto a los uke...los trata como un saco de golpeo...se puede aplicar sin tocar, o por lo menos controlar esos golpes...me gustaría verlo con un uke que no se someta y no se quede quieto...o en un octógono vale todo. Mis respetos a su trabajo, pero no comparto su soberbia.
It is interesting how some people talk about control. We must be living on different planets... It seems they only have no touch and full contact and nothing in between. Asai Sensei, Yahara Sensei and Abe Sensei instructed that control is good contact, but not injuring one's training partner (as demonstrated in these videos). If not controlled, the training partner is injured. THIS IS CONTROL. If one doesn't understand this, that's OK. However, effective training will be difficult.
Merry Christmas my friend Andre Bertel 2022 OSU Shane Fordham Kyokushin all the best never throw the towel in on your dreams never overthinking kills our peace pray have faith and leave everything in God's hands Merry Christmas. "In the World we will have trouble but take 💓 Heart I have overcome the World"!!! Jesus the Saviour of the World Osu
Norman, I have a kiwi accent (NZ), and insofar as Japanese karate terms go - I simply pronounce things correctly as I have spent a lot of time training here in Japan and have a Japanese wife. In regards to the demonstrations, I am teaching the basic form. I.e. - opponent attacking with oi-zuki etc... In a freestyle context it would be "very hard" for the trainees to learn what I'm teaching: probably impossible. Kindest regards and all the very best, I hope that my text doesn't have an accent!!!
I grew up doing Shotokan and have been off and on with Jiu Jitsu. Jiu Jitsu and MMA are great to do but the guys who really go hard with it trash their bodies. A karetaka at age 50 will often be healthier and technically, in a fight, often be able to take out some MMA dudes just due to the amount of abuse MMA brings. Karate is for longevity. I plan to still learn Jiu Jitsu but with caution. I like having a spine that works. I may have to get back into the Shotokan world for vitality
Единственно, что плохо в этом виде единоборств, это бесконтакт, который рефлекторно закрепляется в памяти. Что даёт ложное чувство уверенности в эффективности своих приемов отработанных без ,,проноса". Хотя многие мастера советуют при нанесении удара представлять цель дальше....например при нанесении цуки в средний уровень сПЕреди представлять что удар наносится в позвоночник...насколько это эффективно, не знаю.,.В момент реальной схватки, это как то вылетает из головы.
By the way more videos to come... I am sure my two obsessed "fans" who clearly haven't got a life (as they love spending so much time on `Andre TV') will continue their comments. ;-) The TECHNIQUE talks for itself... And there are plenty more on my channel and elsewhere. Yes, I'M STILL TALKING WITH MY KARATE (see parts one to four of Germany 2012, and Italy 2012). Also all of the other videos on my channel and elsewhere... Not to mention my blog... Or attending my daily karate classes...
One thing that is for sure is that I am definitely not a master. I am simply trying to master my techniques, but that is just a dream goal. My target is to one day have good karate, which is hard because I am not a natural. I just try my best. Kindest regards, Andre

You're incredible man, I've never seen bunkai like this before, massive 😁🇳🇿
its pure theory,not bunkai,do you see him pulling any of that off in a real match with very few rules like karate combat for example or mma or even kudo karate.
Vary good Master nice
peace on you
I like your work , i like karate and this is the first time that i see a nice demonstration like this.Good work and i hope see you in Tunisia to give us a cours. ;)
peace on you
The movements speaks for itselves. 🥋👊🤛🤜
haha, true, it is always out of the eyes of the spectator. A white belt seeing a 1st dan, thinks the 1st dan is a master, a 1st dan seeing a 5th dan thinks the 5th dan is a master. But the moment you yourself think you're a master, you stop growing. Karate itself is the master and we are all just it's pupils.
Precious words.🤛👊🤜
Very Good
thanks andre bertel
Klasse und Geistvolles Karate God bless!!!
Nice work Andre. Sharp,focused and fast. No wasted movements.
That's kind of interesting. One question, if you don't mind: I practice on the bag very often, and I have come to notice that when doing bag work, I automatically fall into a certain "kickboxing mode", meaning my punches look more like boxing but like "correctly" executed tsukis. My mawashi geris pretty much resemble what Thai boxers are doing. Have you noticed something similar as well?
OSU!
It is so very impressive to watch him kick a static target.
bumpdunlop very good. Nicely put.
Hi Germany Sisters &Brothers kiukushin welldon from Mauritius S.Veer Singh
Wow, Andre sensei is sharp and fast! Very impressive!
Impressing is the purpose.
Top camera work, camera movement! Thump up!
Nice
good explanation of defense technique
Never seen you before, but I'm impressed
Oss
Really solid foundation training!
Does it work against MMA?
5:04 this is not ok. Uke is clearly not prepared and slams his head on the floor. Sensei Bertel has great skills, he doesn't need to be rough on his uke like this to command respect. Stuff like this has the opposite effect.
No tiene ningún respeto a los uke...los trata como un saco de golpeo...se puede aplicar sin tocar, o por lo menos controlar esos golpes...me gustaría verlo con un uke que no se someta y no se quede quieto...o en un octógono vale todo. Mis respetos a su trabajo, pero no comparto su soberbia.
It is interesting how some people talk about control. We must be living on different planets... It seems they only have no touch and full contact and nothing in between.
Asai Sensei, Yahara Sensei and Abe Sensei instructed that control is good contact, but not injuring one's training partner (as demonstrated in these videos).
If not controlled, the training partner is injured. THIS IS CONTROL. If one doesn't understand this, that's OK. However, effective training will be difficult.
I am happy to here that! Kindest regards, Osu! Andre

Parece Shotokan.No conocía a ese Sensei.es muy joven.Buenas técnicas.. os,!
Excelente Oss 👏👏👏👏👍
Norman, I have a kiwi accent (NZ), and insofar as Japanese karate terms go - I simply pronounce things correctly as I have spent a lot of time training here in Japan and have a Japanese wife. In regards to the demonstrations, I am teaching the basic form. I.e. - opponent attacking with oi-zuki etc... In a freestyle context it would be "very hard" for the trainees to learn what I'm teaching: probably impossible. Kindest regards and all the very best, I hope that my text doesn't have an accent!!!
ITF Tae Kwon-Do enthusiast here. Very impressive karate. Not like normally perceived.
I grew up doing Shotokan and have been off and on with Jiu Jitsu. Jiu Jitsu and MMA are great to do but the guys who really go hard with it trash their bodies. A karetaka at age 50 will often be healthier and technically, in a fight, often be able to take out some MMA dudes just due to the amount of abuse MMA brings. Karate is for longevity. I plan to still learn Jiu Jitsu but with caution. I like having a spine that works. I may have to get back into the Shotokan world for vitality
Please forgive my typos, and thanks again for the comments! Osu
با تشکر بسیار عالی میباشد
5:45 !!!!!! LOL. Thanks sensei for blasting me in the solar plexus. Now let me do that to you ok?
No, I do karate on the bag also. Why change?
Kindest regards and best of luck with your training, Andre
Единственно, что плохо в этом виде единоборств, это бесконтакт, который рефлекторно закрепляется в памяти. Что даёт ложное чувство уверенности в эффективности своих приемов отработанных без ,,проноса". Хотя многие мастера советуют при нанесении удара представлять цель дальше....например при нанесении цуки в средний уровень сПЕреди представлять что удар наносится в позвоночник...насколько это эффективно, не знаю.,.В момент реальной схватки, это как то вылетает из головы.
he is damn good.. live long....
By the way more videos to come... I am sure my two obsessed "fans" who clearly haven't got a life (as they love spending so much time on `Andre TV') will continue their comments. ;-)
The TECHNIQUE talks for itself... And there are plenty more on my channel and elsewhere.
Yes, I'M STILL TALKING WITH MY KARATE (see parts one to four of Germany 2012, and Italy 2012). Also all of the other videos on my channel and elsewhere... Not to mention my blog... Or attending my daily karate classes...
this is karate shiaï "sport, no karate jutsu"martial art,for younger.So physical.
