excellent video - good technique, good explanation i dont know why people would complain yes there was a lot of explaining, but for anyone who does not already understand the essence of the tech, the explanations are necessary and he showed several good techs i have some understanding already but still i learned something new great video, thank you
I do Shotokan karate. Unfortunately every time I attempt a sweep (especially on a much taller opponent), I am not able to budge their leg or get them off balance (I've tried drilling this with my brother who is much taller and stronger than me). what am I doing wrong and how can I improve?
Just once it would be nice if people checked over what they're commenting on before committing... The poster is explaining that you could break a knee by striking that area, so he advised not to do it and to strike lower. I was explaining it's not Budo to AVOID injuring an opponent, nor is it good practice. You should never train to avoid what will really help you in a combat situation.
Of course I am against the act of hurting somebody! But in situations where you're under threat it's more plausible, and yes you want to hurt them so that you can get to safety.
I trained with Val when he was a brown belt back in the mid 70's. He is now, and has always been, a great fighter. No one could defend against his reverse punch / foot sweep combo. We all hit the dojo floor, some harder than others.
Exactly my thoughts. 9min 18 sec. video of which 9 minutes is talking. Should have been an audio file. Nothing but bad planning. Val was a great competitor.

This is a good video. Looks like it is Judo inspired.
Thanks! Hope I can like this vid twice.

Change your center of gravity
foot sweeps are most effective when the opponent is in motion..
Usually sweeps follow hand techniques or wise your opponent will move out of the way for counter with a kick or something.

I would be afraid of doing that on hardwood resign cuz i don't want to catch a splinter in my foot
The floor is heavily lacquered. I've trained on that floor. No splinters.

"So here I have a chance of breaking a knee or injuring my opponent, so always go as low as you can."
That's just not Budo.
