Ben and I attended a JKD Combative Choke Clinic at Combative Concepts Academy to sharpen our understanding of grips, leverage, and control for self-defence. Coach Steve’s flow drill — like a two-man kata — helped us see how to apply chokes through movement and reference points. 👉🏻Train with Coach Steve: https://www.combativeconceptsama.ca/ #JKD #JiuJitsu #Karate #Combatives #SelfDefence #CrossTraining

Karate Unity is a collective where traditional martial artists, combat athletes, and combative instructors train, teach, and grow together. We honor the roots of Karate — respect, discipline, and grit — while breaking the dogma that holds it back. True tradition means evolution. #KarateUnity #MartialArtsEvolution #JKDMindset #CrossTraining #Karate

I faced my biggest martial arts fear — the ground game. Whether it’s on the mats or in life — don’t run from discomfort. Lean into it.

Choki Motobu was one of Okinawa’s most combat-proven Karate masters. In this video, we explore how his direct techniques — the knife-hand block and foot sweep check — translate into real-world fighting. Through a Jeet Kune Do (JKD) lens, we reveal how traditional kata movements become street-ready applications 👊 Featuring: Coach Steve Ferera https://www.combativeconceptsama 🥋 Presented by: Chris Hanson — Practical Karate & Cross-Training 📍Toronto, Canada #Karate #JKD #ChokiMotobu #SelfDefense #bunkai #CombatKarate

They say kata is “just a dance.” Sure — if by “dance” you mean building structure, precision, and power. Every fighter drills solo reps — this is ours. Kata isn’t a relic. It’s a framework for real skill. Clean up your movement. Understand your mechanics. Train with intent. And cross train to discover applications. This is my process! What’s yours? 🎙️ Watch the full short and tell me what your “kata” looks like — in martial arts, music, or life. #Kata #Karate #MartialArts #bunkai #FormBuildsFunction

We break down key movements from Mawashi Kata — focusing on entry tactics, forward pressure, and control during confrontation.

Too many karateka hide behind tradition instead of testing their art. Cross-training in arts like JKD and Japanese Jiu-Jitsu can refine, pressure-test, and complete your Karate. Don’t just preserve the past — evolve it. #KarateEvolution #MartialArtsMindset #CrossTraining #JKD #JiuJitsu #KarateBunkai
