Post videos of yourself performing any technique!

[Luther unleashed]

I'm creating this thread in this section because i feel it is the best spot for people to post for any style martial art! I think if enough people post it can be a very interesting thread to converse with each other about similarities or difference in our techniques, forms, kicks and so on.

ill start with a few forms we do, interested to see how many people do them this way, or how differently they do them! Please feel free to post any videos guys, the more we post the more fun the thread can be.

first video is tang soo do form bassai dae...

Interesting thread, Luthor!

First up, let me ask you about the form. What is the application/ drill/ learning point of the hop in the middle of the kata?

I ask because momentum generation and control has been a big factor in my footwork since really digging into some of the FMA's, particularly PTK. It interest me when I see things like this now.

Thanks

On the topic of the thread, and for the grapplers out there, here's some review footage we shot about this time last year when I was focusing on back attacks.

These rolling sorts of attack really aren't my style, but they do play to an advanced back game and that's what I really needed to build.

cool vid man, first off im with ya on the fact that its not my think to do those moves either lol! i dont like to "roll" as they say, looks cool though but as i know nothing about rolling i also have nothing to compare it to, therefore hard to comment beyond that.

As for the form in the first post "bassai dae" what i can say kind of goes for all forms. Simply finding an aplication is one thing but finding a practical aplication is another. there is no specific aplication that i know of for the jump and if you see the shotokan version it is typically a double step. As i was tought about forms (especially korean versions) there are aplication but many of them are made to look pretty for the form.

back to you man, are you in the video? The outfits look jujitsu, is that accurate?

Those are interesting ways to get to the back. Nice position at the end, too. The part in the middle where you had the leg wrapped and then went to work around the head looked really ackward.

I wondered about that, if it was some kind of stylistic change to make the form "their own" or something to that affect.

Nice idea for the thread, too. I only have a few videos of myself I can think of off hand.

Here is one where I was trying to expound with DWx on some different ways of executing the side kick, and why I like one way better than another: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFLHyCKGMGQ&list=UUYp41FDmb5wXCSMe_HkoEJw

Here are a couple from my last testing.

Sparring: (I was tired and out of shape, so probably doesn't look the greatest): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eD7WSCcX3SE&list=UUYp41FDmb5wXCSMe_HkoEJw

Board breaking: (I really botched the spin heel kick): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wYR-mMZxU8&list=UUYp41FDmb5wXCSMe_HkoEJw

And here's one of my getting choked out by Royce Gracie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7I0yotu_Zo&list=UUYp41FDmb5wXCSMe_HkoEJw

bushido,-man great vids. great kicks as well. congradulations on 4th dan, im testing for black in september, so im just grtting there but mad respect for the commitment level of you to make it that far.

The video of the side kicks are great because iv had this talk with people about the 2 ways. i prefer the high chamber because it feels more like "pointing my weapon" if you will lol! Thanks for the love about the thread.

Interesting video. Only a few differences from the Wado Ryu version of Bassai (or Passai as my organisations calls it). I haven't fully learned this kata yet but it's one I definitely like. I have no videos of myself performing anything, but here's a link to the legendary Master Suzuki performing Bassai along with some of the applications to it.

Mo.

Bassai Dai is my favorite kata. The Shotokan version is a little different, but very very similar. I learned 2 versions- the straight Shotokan version with all long stances and one with cat stances. The applications of those katas are amazing. I know that in Heian Godan, there is a jump, and 1 interpretation of it was leaping over a bo staff attack. I can't comment on the leap in this version.

When I have some time, I'll post some vids of myself too. I've been meaning to do this. I just haven't had the opportunity.

Yes. BJJ.

At the moment I'm studying Aikido with the BAB here in the UK,

No-one has filmed our class, but here is a good example of our style.

The Aikidoka is taking on two Karateka, one with a Jo as a weapon. Enjoy.
