If you’re talking about Shaolin Kung Fu, the art was strictly made for protecting against invaders. However, if we’re talking about Wushu, or in other words competitive Kung Fu, then yes the art was made for striking.
Hey, wouldn't it be better to throw the O-soto-gari after stepping next to his foot with your back foot? You would generate much more force I think, just using like a millisecond more time.

Great video guys! I love the back and forth exchange of knowledge done in a fun and friendly way. Sensai Ando gave a wonderful explanation of counter techniques and ended it all on a fun and friendly note.
Look at 3:14 min to see what the movement look like, in a more realistic way, and understand it let no place to opponent reaction, moreover if he's not an experimented martial art practicing. Then understand that the grabbing of the opponent arm after the blocking is not essential. Then understand that even the blocking of the opponent attack is not essential. Then you have a preview of what "Go no Sen" mean and why it is essential in Karate. Btw, personnaly, I prefer use the "Shuto Uchi" technique to target the Temple of the opponent rather than his neck, more efficient and harder to protect.
@@AndoMierzwa yea it doesn't matter if you fight with ti chi, kravmaga, kempo or just plain old, all out street fighter if you can make those techniques work for you and win a fight no matter what you have to do politics are useless and combat is combat. It's all for self-defense and survival how would all these people sitting at home watching kung fu movies even think about judging a technique without really sparring or fighting for your life against someone who is skilled and knows how to apply their own techniques with out an exhibition a fighter that is truly gifted and dedicated to his or her art I don't think you are a fake Andro I'm sure you are not giving away all of your secrets every good fighter has those certain little tricks to get in a good defensive/offensive position to execute I mean ism trained in Ryu kyu kempo, Jeet kune do and bjj when it comes to unrefined combat and my life is on the line I'll play as dirty as I have to to survive or not get hit at all politics goes out the window when you get attacked I would like to train with you some my friend.
@@6ix9inetechashy no he's right. Teaching heritage requires more detail. But fighting attire in a real fight should be random as a fight will be. But you are a hater.
@@Poipletoitle331 Nah Kung Fu only works if you're some Shaolin monk type of guy. It never works for someone who doesn't dedicate his entire life to it. I would bet all my money to Karate. There is a simple way to counter all the things the Kung Fu guy said: Deflect his punch. Almost no one does deflecting better than Karatekas. In a real fight the Karateka would simply deflect/block and not to the shuto
@@ubisons6161 Depends because anyone serious about Kung Fu would already have a second attack to counter the block it's kinda like Anakin vs Obi Wan in episode 3 Anakin would've won because he was breaking down Obis defense but he opened himself up and was beaten same thing here because Karate is mainly defensive and Kung Fu is mainly offensive if Kung Fu doesn't open itself up it should win but a lot of moves while extremely powerful and will knock someone out of a fight in one hit open themselves up to the counter and strike method of Karate
I respect you both..!!.. you both are doing very good job by explaining very deep points about your Martial arts styles.... thanks for teaching us with this awesome way ...
3:43 why not block with the right and strike immediately with the left? Blocking with the left then applying the right not only takes a second more but leaves you vulnerable to their right hand???
Shuto looks a lot like the crane style kung fu practioners. "crane wing?" oh wait. Karate comes from Okinawa? Okinawa was a blending pot where Chinese influence was involved? So maybe Kung fu and Karate are closely related and instead of arguing and fighting amongst each other, we should stick together and friendly spar? ~sincerely just an student of Chinese and western boxing.
Ando Mierzwa lol I could go further and talk about Chin Na kung fu influence over Jujitsu (but that's controversial and might trigger a UFC fanboy where style vs style is the modern propaganda) either way I love both countries martial arts. Chin Na and Aiki jujutsu, and 'Merican wrestlin' are my favorite grappling systems especially for self defense. The first two were designed for war and combat. Ando what is your opinion on my 3 favorite types of grappling?
ryan dravinski Karate actually derived from Kung fu. Possible white crane? One of our most widely taught kata, Kushanku, is actually named after a Chinese diplomat who is said to have brought kung fu to Okinawa, which then developed into what is now called karate
LOVE THIS! We always encourage our students to question any of the techniques I teach (with respect of course). If I don't have an answer, I shouldn't teach it. 'Funny' enough, without thinking about it I used Shuto on someone who randomly swung a knife at my brother. Just happened to be the right strike for that situation. Luckily, I haven't had to use my training much more than that.
Good point! You never really know what a situation will require. We just train as diligently as possible and hope we have enough tools to solve whatever problems we face. Hope that was the last time you need to chop somebody! 😄
Jason Shibley Ando is right about the teacher. also, it depends on what specific things you're looking for to add to your arsenal or skills and how realistic it should be or not.
Jason Shibley practically anything practiced full contact will automatically force you to learn some (more) realistic skills. muay thai has a lot to offer, but I'm not crazy about too much focus on the round low kicks. they are mostly good for drawn out matches, but can easily expose you in selfdefense situations. it has great clinch techniques and straight kicks though. but usually not great boxing. actual boxing, especially dirty boxing as in Filipino martial arts Panantukan, is extremely useful and realistic and weirdly enough very underestimated these days. most martial artists won't stand a chance against a decent boxer on the street. judo is never to be underestimated, also mainly because of the 'full contact' or rather 'alive' practice of realistic throws. karate styles like kyokushin, ashihara, and enshin have a broad range of realistic techniques and are developed for selfdefense and practiced full contact. (edge) weapons familiarity and disarming would be a very useful part of training, the only widely spread system I'm aware of being somewhat practical in a last resort situation regarding edge weapons would be escrima. forget about bullshido like krav maga, Russian systema or aikido which make unrealistic claims about weapons selfdefense (and basically everything else). catch wrestling is a great system for the ground and takedowns, up to par with and possible surpassing BJJ. don't know where you are located but check out the guys at Snake Pit USA. Russian sambo is also a realistic ground system. hope this helps.
Ok to be honest the martial arts is affective depending the person. My friend is a good fighter in mma and i'm good at mi one martial art. I'm just saying jot all martial arts are not made for every single person.
I’ve been studying northern style and southern style Kung fu for around 10 years now, and it is truly an amazing art, but it’s not a Rock Paper Scissors with martial arts no matter what art you study you need the dedication and skill to back it up
7:35 This is so fun. In my VIPER JKD we would skip the third beat on the shooto meaning. We would deflect (back hand) same time front hand goes al the way in with a big strike. Instead of grabbing. That’s the only part we’d skip.
@@AndoMierzwa Now you make it sound like "Muslims are bad Islam is good." Of course I bring religion into the equation here because you're making excuses like a priest.
@@Southeast_Asian_Devil The concept of your analogy is indeed clever, but does not directly apply, as an analogy should, because that is not what he is saying. If 10 boxers went up against 10 wrestlers, for example, how does one determine which style is better? The obvious and immediate answer is, whichever style has more victories. Ok, here's the problem with that: Boxers win 6 out of 10. Now, everyone fights again but this time boxers win 4 out of 10. Or what if it's tied? Now bring in a fresh set of 20 fighters and this time boxing wins 3...And after changing opponents boxing wins 7...and so on. There is no way to tell which style is better because it always depends on the fighter. So it's easier to determine which fighter is better than which style, and even then you have the same problem. A champion today could be a loser tomorrow and vice versa. Ever see a rematch fight? Is the previous victor always the reigning victor? ✌🙏
There's a reason boxers keep their hands near their face and use minimal effort/motion to block. Jabs aren't easy to block and are near impossible to grab. I don't care if this guy had 20 tries to try and catch a jab. The chance of him grabbing even one jab would be very low. Also, wouldn't sidestepping into that chop and trying to dodge with movement be more effective?
in karate you create openings in your opponent, this move is very efficient, think speed - deballance - power, moving from one motion to the other. the block is excadurated to create the oppening to both grab the wrist and travel up the arm ⚡ speed, simple, effective and powerfull with the full arm land against a falling opponent. all he needs to do its block it once and he's IN. in TMA blocking jabs is possible, we creat distance and don't turtle 🐢🥊 up untill things get close... or at all in some cases. very differen't fighting principles. your not going to have time to side step🥋💨 you're bearly gonna have time to throw that "two". i would recommend commiting to the flow of the move aswell. in the battle of 🐅 vs 🥋he who underestimates the others ability is sure to lose. infact i'd say go fore arm to block rather than open hand to stop the sword hand chop/shunt. then something like 🐅 leaping tiger in long grass(crossed/oppossed arms), steals man from atop 🐘 wailing elephant bach. (yes this happens in some parts of india.) anyways a 🐯 can go right up you... as a boxer🤔 i'd say same thing, 🥊but lean into the raised forarm then shunt/push the karate 🥋 guy off you by putting your head up against the inside of your forearm so its your hole body against theirs. then one you get the caught arm back, haymaker with it as the karate guy will be i'll advised to stop it off ballance. not as fancy as the tiger body climbing head grab, but just as effective.
Vesuvius ... Last part first. Yes the dodging with movement is more efficient - in some circumstances. However,that blocking section if done hard and fast can momentarily stun the push arm. This is an advantage. Jabs? I agree to a point. Hard to deal with boxing vs boxing. However, train to slip the jab. Rather than grab it, track it back to the puncher and press it against his chest/shoulder - wherever it returned to. Follow up in an appropriate manner.
On the final takedown , would it not be easier to just step into a shoulder throw or possibly a hip throw ? Both keep you standing and in control. Just a thought.
I have been sincerely interested in this as the use for it in a deadly behind enemy lines rescue.. I need to be quick. A kinked trakia is quicker than ripping the whole thing out.. but I will learn both.
I like both Karate AND Kung fu! I use both shuto and tiger claw. Also, the funny thing about the crane was that my friend who studied an unknown martial art told me I was a crane stylist since I had a really defensive fighting style and the way I played dodgeball. Years later, I think I'm more a cat now. XD Keep pumping out the good stuff! From Tokyo. 0w0
As a Philippine martial arts practitioner and having studied traditional styles of karate... I would never Levi a challenge nor accept the challenge and post it on video for the concept of embarrassing anybody on their Channel. I know it's all in good fun... Every style is good for what it's good for
Another fantastic video. I go back to the old days of the 70"s when I idolized people like Demetrius Havanis ..Skipper Mullins....Fred Wren...Bill Wallace. But I'll never forget a tournament in Dallas Texas when Demetrius Havanis took apart a kung fu stylist. There had been words between the two before the match....and Demetrius was one to never back down from anyone. I have great memories from those days....just wanted to share.
In my Karate system, we used to have a throw that was recently taken out because it can’t be practiced safely. But it entailed grabbing the back of their neck, grabbing under their crotch, and throwing them over your head and causes them to land on their head and break their neck.
Daniel Leniu, Chinese Instructors are called "Sifu" (See-foo) but mostly are called that in Western countries. Sifu is used for many peoples in China. Sensei (sen-say) is the term for Japanese arts. And it is said like this "Daniel Sensei" not Sensei Daniel. Hope this helps you.
@@Reason1717 sensei just means teacher. Like sifu. Kids in Japanese schools call their teachers sensei like we call ours teacher. It's not only for martial arts. Just amending your otherwise correct comment, thanks.
Sensei Ando and Sensei Jesse are just amazing human beings! I'm subscribed in both their channels and following them...they helping me fight my depression....thank you guys! 👍
Robert Schuster. Knew a Wushu Kung fu Shifu that would work our Ed Parker style Kenpo class. Most of us with one hand.... Its the person not the style...just saying.
Interesting love to get into this style understanding :) Love to do the same. Very friendly but I have some thoughts about both. Loved the Video. Really glad to meet ya. I would like to thank Jesse for all his hard work too. Thanks
Karate is LITERALLY the evolution of Kung Fu. Whilst I agree that Kung Fu is WAY richer in culture and mysticism. When it comes to self defense and just flat out beating some one up, Karate (most styles of Karate) is far superior. Its less show.
EvilSwordman biased much? they are different things. karate was developed for selfdefense, Kung Fu was developed for exercise. they only look similar to the noob eye. btw there's nothing 'basic' about karate. if you knew anything about karate you would know this. it's also not copied from Kenpo as you falsely claim.
EvilSwordman yeah, no. Okinawa. and before u start off on how there was influence from Chinese on the development of Okinawa Te, there was influence all over the world's many directions from everywhere. it doesn't make it the same, and it certainly doesn't make some random Chinese martial art better. karate evolved in its own way and is fundamentally different from kung fu. especially notably in the way that it's much more realistic. I'm getting pretty sick and tired of this constant frustrated Chinese propaganda crap about who invented martial arts. bottom line: China/Chinese didn't. and certainly not karate.
kung fu is not a martial art. wushu means art of battlefield. so why it doesnt sound like exercice? idiot. kung fu is more complete than karate. accept that !!!
They are so many kung-fu styles. In my area and country that I live in Shaolin kung-fu is available what sort of kung-fu do you practice and is it better than the Shaolin type sensei Ando
4:42 I love that move. I use a KALI version. But it collects back hand to front hand (long hand) southpaw stance. 1. FOOK SAO “A covering crane action. 2. BUI GEE “A jkd finger jab. 3. ACTION WITH THE CLOSE HAND FINISHES.
Wouldn't it be easier to just block with the front hand or step back to then be in mirror position to then grab the jab and then use the other hand to hit the elbow while pulling down to make it a 2 step move instead of 3?
Thank you for the advice on the secret is not the style but is the practitioner of the art. Also to practice hard and have an open mind. I will train hard.
Sir, I've always wanted to ask a question. Recently, Chinese Kung Fu has been questioned by the public at the real combat level. What do you think of this
Ando Mierzwa Thank you very much for your reply. In fact, there is no malice in my remarks. I am also a Wing Chun lover. This is why I hope to find out why Chinese traditional martial arts always fail in modern fighting. I am glad to see that there are still many people who love Chinese martial arts to pay tribute to you.
Great videos guys! It's so nice to see when Martial Artists are humble enough to exchange ideas and have fun with concepts instead of simply proclaiming my style or system is the BEST! Looking forward to more. Tim x
love this, but in the spirit of his video, I was curious if you could have "responded" with traditional applications. Yes it would have the same result of his response, with the "crane" feathers, but that would have been fun to see
It's difficult to say what a "kung fu" or "karate" move even is! It's also difficult to say what moves are "traditional" and what is "modern". I mean, punching someone in the face with a 1-2 is pretty much a timeless move that transcends styles. I was just keeping it simple. Thanks for the comment!
I had to say you’re 1 2 3 @7:23 that hand that come in can Either do the strike to the neck, or it could block the strike coming on your 2! If he inside blocks that what’s coming next elbow to your face but you cannot block him because both of your hands on the outside can you use inside position on you.
Super useful for me because I do traditional Karate and I am a green belt but it's good to know from a kung fu and karate masters.Thank you so much for your advice
I have only seen 4 minutes of Jesse explanation and I can't beleive what I am seeing. The technique he applied with shuto is exactly the same we have in Choy Lee Fut Kungfu. We use the palm "to divert" part of momentum of the incoming punch (we call it "tap" or whatever its phoneme is written) and then we grab exacty as he did with a "chuin lao" and strike the neck at the same time with a "jet kiu", witch we do with the forearm instead of the hand (the best concept translation would be "to cut with the forearm"). Depending on the strikes you feel more comfortable, you can substitute the "jet kiu" with other type of strike. I find the similarities between martial arts marvelous, and I admire the humility and eagerness to learn and adapt things from other martial arts to our own martial art.
Hello Ando do you feel it's wise for someone to learn 2 different styles of Karate at the same time? I would think I'd get confused on what moves to make and in what school?
I’d say it’s better to study two styles that really are different from one another. Like karate and grappling. Learning how to punch one way in the beginning is hard enough without learning a different way at the same time. Go deep, not wide in the beginning!
You drive in with your elbow towards the person face with shuto - while covering your own buttons with the wrapped arm-, that's why the technique is initiated with the hand to opposite ear, it's a cover and crash for "two".
The knife hand strike is very effective as mentioned when someone throws a hay maker. This usually is thrown by an in experienced fighter, an experienced fighter wouldn't punch that way. You may as well tell them that you are going to hit them. Which throws everything you said out the window.
For number two (thinking back to a time that I sparred with my friends cocky son but I've done this sparring with others who have training) is instead of moving in quick for the chop, let them tire themselves out by throwing punches and go for the first opening instead of creating one that both could exploit.
I'm six feet tall 200 pounds with long arms I also bike and walk everywhere. One factor that usually gives me time is that things slow down once the adrenaline stops pumping so everything gets slo mo.
Hi Sensei Ando, I enjoy your videos and find them very informative as well as humorous- thank you sir! One question that came to mind when watching this: It's an initial left hand strike, which I'm imagining might happen maybe 25% of the time tops? While I can appreciate the punch/counterpunch nature of this video, it left me a little out-of-sorts as I imagine most folks would be throwing a right-handed haymaker. If I'm in the same right leg back guarding stance and a right-handed punch is thrown, I imagine the response isn't quite as simple as a mirror image. Any thoughts you'd be willing to share? Thanks again!
Hi Steffan! Same principles apply to either hand, so I wouldn’t get too hung up on what’s in the video. But it’s also true that that the big right haymaker is often preceded by a left-hand push, jab, or grab. Training to attack the first hand that comes near you might help you avoid the big right! Happy training to you!
Just subscribed Sensei Ando. Been following Jesse for about six weeks. I started training in MA's in 74. I hung my belt up in 2014 out of frustration. Both you and Jesse advocate open minded ness and recognition of application before spoon fed aesthetics. Thanks to both of you for reigniting my interest it Karate ( my foundation) and now Kung Fu. Many thanks to you both👍
Awesome point! I think it would be harder for the defender as now your knife hand has to reach over the attacker's punching arm, in addition to the shoulder and different angle of the neck (target) depending on which hand you use, right or left. Even switching to a ridge hand on your opposite hand would target the front of the throat, which has to surpass the chin...tough either way! That's why it's best to train for all possibilities as real encounters are not choreographed. Great question!!🙏

@@Poipletoitle331 Nah Kung Fu only works if you're some Shaolin monk type of guy. It never works for someone who doesn't dedicate his entire life to it. I would bet all my money to Karate. There is a simple way to counter all the things the Kung Fu guy said: Deflect his punch. Almost no one does deflecting better than Karatekas. In a real fight the Karateka would simply deflect/block and not to the shuto
@@ubisons6161 Depends because anyone serious about Kung Fu would already have a second attack to counter the block it's kinda like Anakin vs Obi Wan in episode 3 Anakin would've won because he was breaking down Obis defense but he opened himself up and was beaten same thing here because Karate is mainly defensive and Kung Fu is mainly offensive if Kung Fu doesn't open itself up it should win but a lot of moves while extremely powerful and will knock someone out of a fight in one hit open themselves up to the counter and strike method of Karate
LOL,perfect ending, I'm not even into martial arts but I watch your videos cause you, sir, are a funny guy, the kind of funny guy I wouldn't fight tbh
That's a great compliment, sir! Thanks. Now, let's talk about you starting some classes.... :)
I respect you both..!!.. you both are doing very good job by explaining very deep points about your Martial arts styles.... thanks for teaching us with this awesome way ...
Thanks for watching and commenting!
3:43 why not block with the right and strike immediately with the left? Blocking with the left then applying the right not only takes a second more but leaves you vulnerable to their right hand???
Sure! Try it all and see what sticks!
Thank you for your informative videos! My first Karate Lesson is tomorrow.. You're the best!
Congrats! I hope you had a blast!
Shuto looks a lot like the crane style kung fu practioners. "crane wing?" oh wait. Karate comes from Okinawa? Okinawa was a blending pot where Chinese influence was involved? So maybe Kung fu and Karate are closely related and instead of arguing and fighting amongst each other, we should stick together and friendly spar?
~sincerely just an student of Chinese and western boxing.
Yes, Ryan. YES! :)
Ando Mierzwa lol I could go further and talk about Chin Na kung fu influence over Jujitsu (but that's controversial and might trigger a UFC fanboy where style vs style is the modern propaganda) either way I love both countries martial arts. Chin Na and Aiki jujutsu, and 'Merican wrestlin' are my favorite grappling systems especially for self defense. The first two were designed for war and combat.
Ando what is your opinion on my 3 favorite types of grappling?
I am open to learning from anyone in any style. That's my opinion! :)
just as Bruce Lee taught us
ryan dravinski Karate actually derived from Kung fu. Possible white crane? One of our most widely taught kata, Kushanku, is actually named after a Chinese diplomat who is said to have brought kung fu to Okinawa, which then developed into what is now called karate
LOVE THIS! We always encourage our students to question any of the techniques I teach (with respect of course). If I don't have an answer, I shouldn't teach it. 'Funny' enough, without thinking about it I used Shuto on someone who randomly swung a knife at my brother. Just happened to be the right strike for that situation. Luckily, I haven't had to use my training much more than that.
Good point! You never really know what a situation will require. We just train as diligently as possible and hope we have enough tools to solve whatever problems we face. Hope that was the last time you need to chop somebody! 😄
Great video Sensei Ando!! A lot of respect for you and Sensei Jesse👏👏 I follow you both on youtube. Two of the best Senseis I've seen here💪💪👍✌
Respect back to you, my friend. Thank you for the support! Happy training!👍🏼
Thanks guys, lots of love and laughs
Love to you, too!
what a great collaboration!
+EricSwearingenMusic Glad you liked it! It was fun!
*ROASTED*
BOOM! :D
That is in Chinese
Not really. It's all about the teacher. I'd just visit some gym until you find someone you can trust.
Jason Shibley Ando is right about the teacher. also, it depends on what specific things you're looking for to add to your arsenal or skills and how realistic it should be or not.
Jason Shibley practically anything practiced full contact will automatically force you to learn some (more) realistic skills. muay thai has a lot to offer, but I'm not crazy about too much focus on the round low kicks. they are mostly good for drawn out matches, but can easily expose you in selfdefense situations. it has great clinch techniques and straight kicks though. but usually not great boxing.
actual boxing, especially dirty boxing as in Filipino martial arts Panantukan, is extremely useful and realistic and weirdly enough very underestimated these days. most martial artists won't stand a chance against a decent boxer on the street.
judo is never to be underestimated, also mainly because of the 'full contact' or rather 'alive' practice of realistic throws.
karate styles like kyokushin, ashihara, and enshin have a broad range of realistic techniques and are developed for selfdefense and practiced full contact. (edge)
weapons familiarity and disarming would be a very useful part of training, the only widely spread system I'm aware of being somewhat practical in a last resort situation regarding edge weapons would be escrima. forget about bullshido like krav maga, Russian systema or aikido which make unrealistic claims about weapons selfdefense (and basically everything else).
catch wrestling is a great system for the ground and takedowns, up to par with and possible surpassing BJJ. don't know where you are located but check out the guys at Snake Pit USA.
Russian sambo is also a realistic ground system.
hope this helps.
Ok to be honest the martial arts is affective depending the person. My friend is a good fighter in mma and i'm good at mi one martial art. I'm just saying jot all martial arts are not made for every single person.
Exactly right!
I’ve been studying northern style and southern style Kung fu for around 10 years now, and it is truly an amazing art, but it’s not a Rock Paper Scissors with martial arts no matter what art you study you need the dedication and skill to back it up
Wise words! Thank you!
7:35 This is so fun. In my VIPER JKD we would skip the third beat on the shooto meaning. We would deflect (back hand) same time front hand goes al the way in with a big strike. Instead of grabbing. That’s the only part we’d skip.
It’s all in the variations. Thanks for the comment! 👍🏼
hey you know what.. why don't you two just fight face to face.. and that's how we see who wins
You might see WHO wins, but that doesn't prove which style wins. Spoiler alert: Any style CAN win. :)
Ando Mierzwa we still wanna see WHO wins though ;)
Saxier 18 I think they both suck..😁😂😂
@@AndoMierzwa Now you make it sound like "Muslims are bad Islam is good." Of course I bring religion into the equation here because you're making excuses like a priest.
@@Southeast_Asian_Devil The concept of your analogy is indeed clever, but does not directly apply, as an analogy should, because that is not what he is saying.
If 10 boxers went up against 10 wrestlers, for example, how does one determine which style is better? The obvious and immediate answer is, whichever style has more victories. Ok, here's the problem with that:
Boxers win 6 out of 10. Now, everyone fights again but this time boxers win 4 out of 10. Or what if it's tied? Now bring in a fresh set of 20 fighters and this time boxing wins 3...And after changing opponents boxing wins 7...and so on. There is no way to tell which style is better because it always depends on the fighter. So it's easier to determine which fighter is better than which style, and even then you have the same problem. A champion today could be a loser tomorrow and vice versa. Ever see a rematch fight? Is the previous victor always the reigning victor? ✌🙏
There's a reason boxers keep their hands near their face and use minimal effort/motion to block. Jabs aren't easy to block and are near impossible to grab. I don't care if this guy had 20 tries to try and catch a jab. The chance of him grabbing even one jab would be very low.
Also, wouldn't sidestepping into that chop and trying to dodge with movement be more effective?
Good point! There are many ways to use the hands and feet. This is just one or two. I'm a big fan of dodging when I can, too!
in karate you create openings in your opponent, this move is very efficient, think speed - deballance - power, moving from one motion to the other. the block is excadurated to create the oppening to both grab the wrist and travel up the arm ⚡ speed, simple, effective and powerfull with the full arm land against a falling opponent. all he needs to do its block it once and he's IN. in TMA blocking jabs is possible, we creat distance and don't turtle 🐢🥊 up untill things get close... or at all in some cases. very differen't fighting principles. your not going to have time to side step🥋💨 you're bearly gonna have time to throw that "two". i would recommend commiting to the flow of the move aswell. in the battle of 🐅 vs 🥋he who underestimates the others ability is sure to lose. infact i'd say go fore arm to block rather than open hand to stop the sword hand chop/shunt. then something like 🐅 leaping tiger in long grass(crossed/oppossed arms), steals man from atop 🐘 wailing elephant bach. (yes this happens in some parts of india.) anyways a 🐯 can go right up you... as a boxer🤔 i'd say same thing, 🥊but lean into the raised forarm then shunt/push the karate 🥋 guy off you by putting your head up against the inside of your forearm so its your hole body against theirs. then one you get the caught arm back, haymaker with it as the karate guy will be i'll advised to stop it off ballance. not as fancy as the tiger body climbing head grab, but just as effective.
Vesuvius ... Last part first. Yes the dodging with movement is more efficient - in some circumstances. However,that blocking section if done hard and fast can momentarily stun the push arm. This is an advantage.
Jabs? I agree to a point. Hard to deal with boxing vs boxing. However, train to slip the jab. Rather than grab it, track it back to the puncher and press it against his chest/shoulder - wherever it returned to. Follow up in an appropriate manner.
RealJutsu56 that's 100% theoretical.
Jab, hook, kick to balls followed by elbow to head.
I thought Filipino things is useless coz i live in the Philippines but that all changed when I realized he knows Filipino martial art
On the final takedown , would it not be easier to just step into a shoulder throw or possibly a hip throw ? Both keep you standing and in control. Just a thought.
It’s a good thought!
I have been sincerely interested in this as the use for it in a deadly behind enemy lines rescue.. I need to be quick. A kinked trakia is quicker than ripping the whole thing out.. but I will learn both.
"That's not Kung Fu, that's Dumb Fu."
Awesome video as always Sensei Ando ! But now, will you have the courage to challenge a true warrior, a killing machine... Master Ken himself ! ? :D

Ha! I try to keep at least two states between me and Master Ken at all times! :)
***** wise decision sensei Ando haha

I like both Karate AND Kung fu! I use both shuto and tiger claw. Also, the funny thing about the crane was that my friend who studied an unknown martial art told me I was a crane stylist since I had a really defensive fighting style and the way I played dodgeball. Years later, I think I'm more a cat now. XD Keep pumping out the good stuff! From Tokyo. 0w0
Greetings from the USA, Naori! Thanks for the comment!
As a Philippine martial arts practitioner and having studied traditional styles of karate... I would never Levi a challenge nor accept the challenge and post it on video for the concept of embarrassing anybody on their Channel. I know it's all in good fun... Every style is good for what it's good for
Yes, all in good fun. And I agree-every style has something to offer.👍🏼
Another fantastic video. I go back to the old days of the 70"s when I idolized people like Demetrius Havanis ..Skipper Mullins....Fred Wren...Bill Wallace. But I'll never forget a tournament in Dallas Texas when Demetrius Havanis took apart a kung fu stylist. There had been words between the two before the match....and Demetrius was one to never back down from anyone. I have great memories from those days....just wanted to share.
Thanks for sharing, sir!
My two favourite channels on Martial arts
That's very nice of you! Thanks!
+Ando Mierzwa Can you do your moves countering a boxers moves or some sparring vid of boxer v kung fu expert?
thats sad
you shuld do kung fu vs judo
Great idea! :)
omgggggg
Ando Mierzwa are you gonna make that vid kung fu vs judo it whuld be interasting to se btv i watch your videos all the time
Shuai jiao vs judo. Both are grappling arts.

DO Kung fu vs wwe... XD
I just turn off the TV. :)
Ando Mierzwa Haha xD Kung fu vs thumb wrestling?
Keep your hands in your pocket. :)
Nice idea XD hhhh
In my Karate system, we used to have a throw that was recently taken out because it can’t be practiced safely. But it entailed grabbing the back of their neck, grabbing under their crotch, and throwing them over your head and causes them to land on their head and break their neck.
I'm subscribed to both of you guys so this stuff is awesome. Please make more!!😎🤙
I appreciate that. Thank you! 🙏🏻
The Karate Nerd brought me here. You are now the new champion of us old guys!
Ha! And getting older every day. 😄 Keep fighting, sir! 👊🏼
2:46 "As I cross my hand..." You get hit with the cross.
Always move to the outside. Take advantage of foot work.
Whenever possible, you bet!
I thought Chinese king fu masters are called siefu and senses is Japanese 😂
True! Some people study both. Thanks for watching!
Daniel Leniu, Chinese Instructors are called "Sifu" (See-foo) but mostly are called that in Western countries. Sifu is used for many peoples in China. Sensei (sen-say) is the term for Japanese arts. And it is said like this "Daniel Sensei" not Sensei Daniel. Hope this helps you.
I like Grasshopper, Kwai Chang Caine. Lol
@@Reason1717 sensei just means teacher. Like sifu.
Kids in Japanese schools call their teachers sensei like we call ours teacher. It's not only for martial arts.
Just amending your otherwise correct comment, thanks.
@@HardHardMaster , Thank you. More knowledge on the topic is a win for all :)
the explainations are worth nothing as long as you dont show it in a fight.

Positive people building bridges… that’s how we will all survive! Keep fighting, my friend!
Ando Mierzwa Thank you Sir! 👍
hello Sensei Ando, love your show. question where did you get your black and white belt? or how did you make it?
Thanks for asking! I made that belt. It's my tribute to Yin Yang. It reminds me that I've learned a lot but still have a long way to go!
try with a kyukushin karate fighter
Uncle Uncle u'll win I know
My Kempo class had a kung fu sudent come in to join our sparring and he lost.
Robert Schuster. Knew a Wushu Kung fu Shifu that would work our Ed Parker style Kenpo class. Most of us with one hand.... Its the person not the style...just saying.
@D core It wasn't fights to the death.
Interesting love to get into this style understanding :) Love to do the same. Very friendly but I have some thoughts about both. Loved the Video. Really glad to meet ya. I would like to thank Jesse for all his hard work too. Thanks
Yes, sir... keep it friendly and we can all learn a lot more! Thank you for the comment!
Love this. Was that barbecue crane remark a reference to White Crane style?
You got it! :)
Karate > Kung Fu
Karate is LITERALLY the evolution of Kung Fu. Whilst I agree that Kung Fu is WAY richer in culture and mysticism. When it comes to self defense and just flat out beating some one up, Karate (most styles of Karate) is far superior. Its less show.
Whatever works for you, sir!
B Campos 2 very different branches of the same tree
EvilSwordman biased much? they are different things. karate was developed for selfdefense, Kung Fu was developed for exercise. they only look similar to the noob eye. btw there's nothing 'basic' about karate. if you knew anything about karate you would know this. it's also not copied from Kenpo as you falsely claim.
EvilSwordman yeah, no. Okinawa. and before u start off on how there was influence from Chinese on the development of Okinawa Te, there was influence all over the world's many directions from everywhere. it doesn't make it the same, and it certainly doesn't make some random Chinese martial art better.
karate evolved in its own way and is fundamentally different from kung fu. especially notably in the way that it's much more realistic.
I'm getting pretty sick and tired of this constant frustrated Chinese propaganda crap about who invented martial arts.
bottom line: China/Chinese didn't. and certainly not karate.
kung fu is not a martial art. wushu means art of battlefield. so why it doesnt sound like exercice? idiot. kung fu is more complete than karate. accept that !!!
Kung fu rule Oh yeah love wing Chun r.i.p sifu Bruce Lee and sifu yip man
I agree! :D
You are right my friend. We need to respect and edify each other. To often we tear down where we should respect. Nice info by the way.
They are so many kung-fu styles. In my area and country that I live in
Shaolin kung-fu is available what sort of kung-fu do you practice and is it better than the Shaolin type sensei Ando
There is no better, just what’s better for you! I practice a cousin art of Choy Lee Fut. Keep fighting! 👊🏼

Great Jesse as always! Just a question : when you sais "it's the more advance way to do the Shuto" what level did you have in mind?
Jesse Sensei probably won’t see that comment. But thank you for watching!
4:42 I love that move. I use a KALI version. But it collects back hand to front hand (long hand) southpaw stance. 1. FOOK SAO “A covering crane action. 2. BUI GEE “A jkd finger jab. 3. ACTION WITH THE CLOSE HAND FINISHES.
Wouldn't it be easier to just block with the front hand or step back to then be in mirror position to then grab the jab and then use the other hand to hit the elbow while pulling down to make it a 2 step move instead of 3?
Lots of good ideas! Thanks!
@@AndoMierzwa It's very common in Choy Lee Fut, so I guess it's just my natural train of thought :)
@@gremlin2022 Cool!
Thank you for the advice on the secret is not the style but is the practitioner of the art. Also to practice hard and have an open mind. I will train hard.
Absolutely! It's all about you. :-)
Sir, I've always wanted to ask a question. Recently, Chinese Kung Fu has been questioned by the public at the real combat level. What do you think of this
I think you should compare fighters, not styles.
Ando Mierzwa Thank you very much for your reply. In fact, there is no malice in my remarks. I am also a Wing Chun lover. This is why I hope to find out why Chinese traditional martial arts always fail in modern fighting. I am glad to see that there are still many people who love Chinese martial arts to pay tribute to you.
@@ihatetuesday.4318 I don't see style versus style... I see one guy who practices with contact and another guy who doesn't. Happy training!

This is cool both you and Jesse are dope. I like it, very easy to understand and fun to watch
Glad to hear that! Thanks for watching! :)
I'm trying to learn dragonstyle, do you have any techniques? If you do can you make a video?
Not my style. Sorry!
Great videos guys! It's so nice to see when Martial Artists are humble enough to exchange ideas and have fun with concepts instead of simply proclaiming my style or system is the BEST! Looking forward to more. Tim x
+Martial Arts and Fitness UK Thanks for the support! Happy training!
The collaborative quality of these videos is a lesson in itself.
We're all martial artists, right? :)
love this, but in the spirit of his video, I was curious if you could have "responded" with traditional applications. Yes it would have the same result of his response, with the "crane" feathers, but that would have been fun to see
It's difficult to say what a "kung fu" or "karate" move even is! It's also difficult to say what moves are "traditional" and what is "modern". I mean, punching someone in the face with a 1-2 is pretty much a timeless move that transcends styles. I was just keeping it simple. Thanks for the comment!
Karate and Kung Fu both are affective it depends on the practioner to use the styles effective
Right!
Always exemplary, always educational, always a role model! RESPECT Sensei Ando!
Keep it classy! :D Thank you!
Ando Mierzwa Well deserved, sir! Keep fighting!
I had to say you’re 1 2 3 @7:23 that hand that come in can Either do the strike to the neck, or it could block the strike coming on your 2! If he inside blocks that what’s coming next elbow to your face but you cannot block him because both of your hands on the outside can you use inside position on you.
The elbows are definitely a game changer! Thanks for the comment, sir!
Love the respect you guys have
Karate begins and ends with good respect, right? Thank you! 🙏🏻
@@AndoMierzwa so true
May i ask? What is the difference between martial arts and self- defence?
There really shouldn't be one!
are you wearing your yin and yang belt that you talked about on your podacast
Yes! Thanks for listening to the podcast! You rock! :-)
Super useful for me because I do traditional Karate and I am a green belt but it's good to know from a kung fu and karate masters.Thank you so much for your advice
Thanks, Ana! Congrats on the green belt. Keep going! 👊🏼
Presentation simply interesting and wonderful , two pillers of martial arts working together .
If sticking with the 手刀, why not block with right, and spear belly with left? Or vice versa.
Always a good idea to cause a little pain. :)
MatthewNJDavis It's probablz most effective to block with a Wing Chun Pak Sao and strike the eye at the same time, while using head movement
I have only seen 4 minutes of Jesse explanation and I can't beleive what I am seeing. The technique he applied with shuto is exactly the same we have in Choy Lee Fut Kungfu. We use the palm "to divert" part of momentum of the incoming punch (we call it "tap" or whatever its phoneme is written) and then we grab exacty as he did with a "chuin lao" and strike the neck at the same time with a "jet kiu", witch we do with the forearm instead of the hand (the best concept translation would be "to cut with the forearm"). Depending on the strikes you feel more comfortable, you can substitute the "jet kiu" with other type of strike.
I find the similarities between martial arts marvelous, and I admire the humility and eagerness to learn and adapt things from other martial arts to our own martial art.
Learning and adapting… that’s the right way! Thanks for the comment!
Hello Ando do you feel it's wise for someone to learn 2 different styles of Karate at the same time? I would think I'd get confused on what moves to make and in what school?
I’d say it’s better to study two styles that really are different from one another. Like karate and grappling. Learning how to punch one way in the beginning is hard enough without learning a different way at the same time. Go deep, not wide in the beginning!
You drive in with your elbow towards the person face with shuto - while covering your own buttons with the wrapped arm-, that's why the technique is initiated with the hand to opposite ear, it's a cover and crash for "two".
Great suggestion!
Im curious Ando, what kind of kung styles did you learn?
San Soo... or more formally Tsoi Li Ho Fut Hung. It's a branch of Choy Lee Fut.
The knife hand strike is very effective as mentioned when someone throws a hay maker. This usually is thrown by an in experienced fighter, an experienced fighter wouldn't punch that way. You may as well tell them that you are going to hit them. Which throws everything you said out the window.
You can still see big swings from pro fighters. Plus, stress can turn all of us into cavemen again! 😄
For number two (thinking back to a time that I sparred with my friends cocky son but I've done this sparring with others who have training) is instead of moving in quick for the chop, let them tire themselves out by throwing punches and go for the first opening instead of creating one that both could exploit.
If you have the time and space to move, that's a great tactic.
I'm six feet tall 200 pounds with long arms I also bike and walk everywhere. One factor that usually gives me time is that things slow down once the adrenaline stops pumping so everything gets slo mo.
Slowing down time is a great super power!
Hi Sensei Ando, I enjoy your videos and find them very informative as well as humorous- thank you sir! One question that came to mind when watching this: It's an initial left hand strike, which I'm imagining might happen maybe 25% of the time tops? While I can appreciate the punch/counterpunch nature of this video, it left me a little out-of-sorts as I imagine most folks would be throwing a right-handed haymaker. If I'm in the same right leg back guarding stance and a right-handed punch is thrown, I imagine the response isn't quite as simple as a mirror image. Any thoughts you'd be willing to share? Thanks again!
Hi Steffan! Same principles apply to either hand, so I wouldn’t get too hung up on what’s in the video. But it’s also true that that the big right haymaker is often preceded by a left-hand push, jab, or grab. Training to attack the first hand that comes near you might help you avoid the big right! Happy training to you!
great video.... loved this !
great martial arts fun !
I appreciate that. Thank you! 🙏🏻
What do you think about the akido guy from akidio flow channel. Do you think his moves would actually work?
I don't know his channel... I'll have to take a look.
Just subscribed Sensei Ando. Been following Jesse for about six weeks. I started training in MA's in 74. I hung my belt up in 2014 out of frustration. Both you and Jesse advocate open minded ness and recognition of application before spoon fed aesthetics. Thanks to both of you for reigniting my interest it Karate ( my foundation) and now Kung Fu. Many thanks to you both👍
So glad you made it back to the path, sir! Training will always pay you back. Keep going!👍🏼
All of a sudden I end of binge watching all of Sensei Ando's videos. What a fun night. XD
+Siddhant Misra Ha! That makes my day. I better get busy making more videos! Thank you! :-)
Always a pleasure to get a reply. Thank you. :D
Always a pleasure to get a comment! :)
This is very insightful! Out of curiosity i wonder how effective the shoe toe would be if you went to the outside of the punch and not the inside?
Awesome point! I think it would be harder for the defender as now your knife hand has to reach over the attacker's punching arm, in addition to the shoulder and different angle of the neck (target) depending on which hand you use, right or left. Even switching to a ridge hand on your opposite hand would target the front of the throat, which has to surpass the chin...tough either way! That's why it's best to train for all possibilities as real encounters are not choreographed. Great question!!🙏
What is the Kung Fu Sensei's Black and White Belt?? A KF Only Rank??
Nope! I made it myself. My “Balance Belt”. :D
2:33 one step?? he turns two steps into 3 steps. little tip: block with the left like you do and strike instead of waisting time.
Thanks for the comment!
