This guy is one of the best things in Karate world right now. Shares a lot of knowledge in a fun way, and being funny too with a funny accent. Awesome.
Smooth Play agreed! His friendly, goofy video antics are totally not what you would expect from such a highly respected teacher of the martial arts. I love that he is a serious martial artist, and yet not too serious about everything else, which makes karate much more accessible for those outside the sphere. I've met plenty of people who think that martial arts seems tough and austere and intimidating from the outside, when, in reality, we're all just a bunch of goofballs and geeks doing what we love!
I'm a 10 year old blue belt, and I was always amazed at how my sensei made that "BANG" noise when he did something as simple as a punch. I haven't heard my sensei use the word kime yet, because I've only been doing karate for a year, maybe he should though I don't know. Anyway, this video finally helped me get that satisfying, firm snap out of my gi, and now I'm the only one in class with a really loud uniform haha
Although I don't practice Karate myself, I love your videos. Most of your tips can be applied to any other martial art. Please don't stop evolving and stay as authentic as you are! :)
Hey Jesse, I just want to say that I've been in the martial arts for just less than 3 years and you (via this video) is the ONLY person to actually explain what this snap is. I've spoken to WKF champions, who just so happen to be acquainted with my club, and he couldn't (or refused to) explain what the snap is. All he said was, "It'll come with experience." and.... I've learned how to generate the snap in my kicks (not my blocks or punches... yet), but I never really understood WHAT MAKES THE SNAP. Thank you for giving this information to the world. You just got one more subscriber!
I wrote a little blog post about this on tumblr a little while back. I'm very pleased to hear you use the same explanation of kime as I did! Thank you for explaining kimeru and showing that exercise, I'm going to practice it! 😊
Very interesting! I'm a Sensei in Ju Jutsu, and during my lesson for the class today we focused on developing our technique for our Tsuki. I didn't know the proper word for snappy until now, thank you Sensei!
I remember my first lesson where Kime was the focus. Completely changed the way I train forever! Great exercise as well Jesse Sensei, I will be passing that on.
My sensei mentioned "Kime" to me during one of the classes. This vid will definitely help me a lot. Just started Goju Ryu Karate last month. Sending love from Philippines 🙏🏼
Nice Job!! You could make a video about breathing in the kata. A proper breth in kata. my suggestion is to avoid a breath that is considered foul, as is usually seen in competitions. Thanks Jesse!!!!
Yes, thank you sensei . Kime is not the internel energy as some may think. Kime is the sense of decision and seriousness in any move, attack or defence...oss!
Jesse this video is wonderful! I am on my 7th lesson on Shukokai Karate and loving it! i will for sure be picking up a tennis ball as soon as i can :) thank you and much love from the UK
This is an awesome video! Wish I found it earlier. My kime are one of my biggest issues at the moment. I will definitely be trying this exercise! ありがとうございます先生！
You are the best. Your like my second Sensei. I have the one at my dojo. Then I look up some of your videos on the topics I learned In class. And u just put a different perspective on it that either made more sense or just went along with what was said. I wish u could come out to USA and do seminars. Specifically Raleigh North Carolina
I think it's the key to going higher on that PSI machine. And related to the correct relaxed timing before exploding in Judo or Jiu Jitsu. Lots of relaxation as the precursor
I loved the demonstration with the ball 😊. Kime is the principle that allows you having control. But also, from a more martial perspective is what causes real harm to an oponent. The contraction at the moment of impact only 1 inch after having reached your target can be devastating too. It's up to you how to use it. Oss!
Not sure I 100% understand but to me and how I understand it, this would be synonymous with what I call intent. Focus that syncs mind and body to a single purpose which allows only the needed muscles to activate to maximize force while also activating them quickly for acceleration/force. A grab or reach is good for this because you focus more on speed than power, and limbs don't generate power well besides contributing to speed also assuming the limb is linked to the body. This is just how I'm understanding your video. I appreciate these since as I mentioned previously, everyone just says do it without ever defining what "it" is. I spent a good portion of my life breaking things like this down as well but not for karate, but regardless systems all have their similarities.
It's very innovative way to train, and can be fun for kids. Besides, I'd like to share that the Kime comes from variant of speed for each motion. Normally, if we divide each motion to 3 parts, the first part is turning hip, the 2nd part is moving with moderate speed, the last part is super speed with sudden turning and stopping of end of fist or feet.
I used to do something like that in iaido for accuracy, never thought it could be used for kime, thanks for sharing, im gonna use this in my classes 😉 arigato Sensei!
Hi Jesse, you said that KIME is necessary in full-control karate, I think the concept of KIME play an important role in full-contact karate, too. From this point of view, I think KIME means how to EXPLODE, in other words: how to accelerate the motion to a maximum speed in split second during the last portion of the movement to generate maximum power in order to maximize the impact of a technique upon the opponent. In other words, in one case it is how to STOP immediately and in other case it is how to EXPLODE at point of contact.
I used to practice control by punching walls but stopping right when i touch it, so it would not hurt, a friend tried the same and broke his nuckles :(
What an excellent idea! I am going to try this with my karate students. The 7 to 12 year olds will get it with practice. Any suggestions for 4 to 6 year olds? I have noticed most of them cannot throw and catch very well.
Ah I see, so everytime I punch, it is like catching a ball as fast as possible. I am happy I am learning karate at this time with these awesome videos.
Shouldt we exhale during that full contraction period? By contracting every muscle in your body during that short period of time, we also shold contract diaphragm or stomack what couses us to make strong short exhale. I havent noticed that you did that exhale, that sound. Correct me if I missed something or get something wrong.
Thanks for this, my grading instructor says my Kime is hit and miss. Truth be told I do find it difficult to finish punches, kicks and stances etc with a solid stop, (and no subsequent wobble or movement.) and I'm starting to wonder if I'm just not built that way.
nice vid. the next video can you explain about words like oraken mai geri and somethings like this im brown belt my previous sensi is was not serious and now im start with new so please do that video i hope you understand
Dear Jesse, every videos Is really interestng. If i am right kime Is the opposite of chinkuchi. But i don't understand the differences in hips movement. My english Is not so good. I Hope that you understand what i mean with my question and answer me. Great job😉
BIG thanks for everyone's nice comments! Remember to visit my website for free articles, videos, books and more: www.karatebyjesse.com 😄👊💥💪👍
Hey Jesse make another video please I’m waiting...
Actually I would love it if you made a video about it in kicks mostly my sensei tells me that I lack kime in my kicks especially Yoko geri (side kick)
Great video!
I was shocked to see you catch that ball
Jesse: throws tennis ball off the wall and catches it
Me: Holy $#!+
I'm going to do this from now on!

I'm 57 yrs old and just started Shotokan..will add this immediately....Thanks
"Find a wall. Or even better, a friend..."
I guess I'll go find a good wall.
:/
that's kind of sad that 67 ppl agreed with you
It's society now. Everyone is behind a computer.
Wall..friend ..Same thing. ;P
Name the wall, become friends with the wall, boom. You can train with a friend
@@Rve783 you can call it Wilson... wait, that was already done haha

Probably the best and easiest kime explanation i ever heared. I will adapt it, i guess even kids will understand this. Thank you
Although I don't practice Karate myself, I love your videos. Most of your tips can be applied to any other martial art. Please don't stop evolving and stay as authentic as you are! :)
If you practice these tips, you're practicing karate :]
Thank you for explaining this Jessie San. My Sensei told me to use less Kime, I had no idea what he meant. Thank you Osu
Simple and yet very easy to understand and very complete explanation. Excellent sensei Jesse!
Great to hear!
You know what I like the most on your videos! Your enthusiasm and the full explanation of terms and meanings . It helps a lot.
Many thanks.
I've been practicing martial arts sincd 1971. You taught me a new drill!!! Thank you!

Not Full contact but FULL CONTROL. GREAT JESSE. OSS.
I am an Indian.. lock down time this is very usefull.. thank

My arms still shakes while trying to kime, but i'll surely add this up to training! Thanks, Jesse Sensei!

Thanks for this, my grading instructor says my Kime is hit and miss. Truth be told I do find it difficult to finish punches, kicks and stances etc with a solid stop, (and no subsequent wobble or movement.) and I'm starting to wonder if I'm just not built that way.
My Grading examiner is usually Frank Brennan so the expectations and standards are HIGH! (Which is a good thing.)
2022 and I’m still watching this. I just got a tennis ball so I’ll start using this method
Hey sensei Jesse can u make a video how to improve our splits..
