"We're a drinking club with a karate problem." 🤣🤣
What a wonderful saying... "Self defense is getting to the end of your life and having become everything that you could possibly become. There is no better defense of the self than that. To live to your fullest potential". Thank you Sensei, for these inspiring words.
Yay!,,,I mean Osu! :))
@@shotokankarate9690 U Da Man DAWG!!!
Sensei Hotton wisdom for life!
I know hotton sensei well. Truly fantastic knowledge and ethereal understanding of the way...
I was 7 when I started my martial arts journey.. my godfather was my sensei and from 1997 I was introduced to keinosuke enoeda..who became more than a sensei to me. He was my family friend...I am privileged..
I advocate cross training..
I've boxed ..done hung gar gung fu. My mother studied Thai boxing..my wife's a purple belt in judo..
My son has a love for kendo and goju karate..
The martial way is spiritual ethos..
The mind is a terrifically good leader of the body..
We are the way along the riverside...
WOW...Such a refreshing conversation, I started Karate in Liverpool England mid 70s...Graded for my shodan in 1984 with keinosuke enoeda (The Boss we called him in the K.U.G.B) I had a massive shift of consciousness in 2005 and changed the name of my old Dojo from the Liverpool school of martial arts to The Harmony Center. I was just going through masters of Karate on youtube and resonated with Sensei Rick Hotton straight away, and looked for an interview, and found it here, I knew he was WIDE AWAKE...Thank you guys...The world needs us now like never before...LOVE and PEACE my friends...Osu :)
Rick teaches that classic authentic karate style🔥
I love to listen to the way Mr. Hotton sees/feels/thinks/speaks!
A living embodiment of Budo. Always enjoy his wisdom.
Love Hotton Sensei. I am both an Aikido and Karate guy and this man is utterly amazing. One man i would wish could be with us for another 100 years. And one key element to his greatness? Humility.
As a straight karate guy, I'm curious as to how practising aikido has influenced your karate..
@@hiranom20 Hi. So from Judo karate and then Aikido Aikido has an aspect(S) to it that blew me away. Aikido became dominant influence in my life (weapon work/study also helped to influence me). This profound influence i felt i also see/feel Sensei Hotton's practice has in both arts. Hard-soft switch. The ability to consciously take rigidity, hardness, strength perhaps, and switch instantly into softness (nothingness - 'Bruce Lee "Become like water ..."). Sensei Hotton's mix was predominantly karate of course followed by a bi-study of aikido which he has superbly taken and imbued into his karate style. This is what perhaps makes Sensei Hotton unique in his Karate style/method/teaching? Of course he has superb basics and advanced technical prowess but more than this i feel he is able to translate the 'invisible' element (often misunderstood or even totally mis-understood in aikido 'you have to feel it to know it/experience it) into his karate style that is largely influenced by aikido. Aikido of course - perhaps more than any martial art, hence it's openness to ridicule and attack - places its visible/invisible/spiritual elements to perhaps characterise perfectly the notion of non-violence, non-attack, blending, harmonizing 'soul-self' on the chopping block for others to chop away at its misunderstood essense of not-fighting, not competing (only against oneself), Budo essence - (BUDO of course means to 'stop war'). If Budo means to 'Stop War' i feel aikido is a leading candidate for this mission. Leading or stopping or disarming your opponent/attacker without hurting them perhaps is the highest martial skill(?). Sensei Hotton not only physically displays masterful understanding of both arts he also exudes these physical, mental and spiritual high-level' elements in his practice/teaching. Aikido can also be painful, it can cause damage even kill. The lofty, dance aikidoists (many who have found youtube fame) are useless, they have had poor teachers and that's why aikido has lost its respect. The old aikido school has been replaced by social media stars who have had terrible aikido backgrounds - far away from the great teachers of our past; a dilution indeed of the effectiveness of the art in comparison to the old tough practitioners of yesteryear, many dead or retired, is exemplified terribly by these wet liberals who call themselves aikidoists/martial artists, they offer a false window of understanding. No, they have to be called out. But back to my point ... Sensei Hotton has molded beautifully two martial arts styles and has even created a new perspective on aikido in doing so, a perspective that can be seen and felt by excellent karate followers globally to have real value.
Love the mention of the Kanku Sho ending. My favorite kata of all time, and I've been doing the same thing (trying to adapt it to the budo way as opposed to the tournament style)
I wonder if Rick has ever trained with Andre Bertel?
Karate as influenced all parts of my Life! Now even though I do not Train now through ill health it still has it's influence not to give up keep going karate has been a blessing! A benefit I miss I was very lucky to find karate and found it a great honour to Learn and Train!
Fantastic interview! I could listen to Sensei Hotton all day long. Of course, watching his karate all day long is pretty awesome too. Thank you both.
Just absolutely excellent!!
Really love the passion that he and you guys have for Karate
Thank-you! 🙇♀️
This was great!! Great job on the podcast ... and Sensei Hotton you’re awesome. I’m going to join the group .... $35 annual fees is absurdly low. Can’t beat it!! Hoping to visit Sarasota some day once this pandemic nonsense is over.
enjoyed this very much one of my favourite human beings
Great Interview! Wonderful conversation between three caring Katateka, thank you for your views of the Do!
The humble putting down of your foot everyday...
Very nice thank you for sharing
Sensei Rick Hotton has been a mayor discovery for me. Great mentor; impressive humility (like all real masters are). Congratulations on the interview also, very relaxed, very well developed... anyways, thanks and best
Where is "Discovery" located and why did Hotton run for Mayor there?
Amazing interview
Great conversation about community. It’s too bad more martial artists don’t come together to see the similarities and the importance of human interaction over styles.
Osss sensei desde Perú
Gracias por traducir en español.
Good thing Rick is such a nice guy. I'm legit terrified of what this man's hardest punch or kick would do to somebody. His control, speed and technical correctness are wonders to behold. It would end very badly for the guy on the receiving end of the strike. I put money on it. A warrior in the garden. He is the living, breathing essence of budo.
Learnt so much from you through your videos, sending respect🙏🙏🙏 to Sensei Hotton from India....u r awesome
Thank you my friend! we travel together.
"Id like to see him do that against a peresian street fighter" sums up 90% of the online martial arts community 🤣
My current dojo and sensei doesnt give me any wiggle room on technique for being 6'5". He says my legs are too wide, etc. I have told him many times that if I did it the way he wants, I feel un-natural, and weak, If you look at a 20" BMX bike and a 24" BMX bike, just 4 inches difference, and the geometry is drastically different, because you dont just grow or shrink the bike or else it isnt nimble or fast anymore. I wish he was more open to at least testing what feels right to me, and not being so ridgid with what he thinks 'right' looks like.
Rick is cool…right from the git-go!
I am curious about Hotton Sensei's impression of Takashina Sensei, since they both taught in South Florida. Anyone have insight into this?
To my knowledge, Hotton Sensei didn't train with Takashina Sensei. They were on opposite sides of the state from each other, so that could be a reason why
Just a point assai sensei was kungfu karate
Can we still come if we're not karate folks? :)
shoryuken..
the fucking man!!!!!!!!!!! He is such a beast
Do you always use rude comments to compliment people? You are showing your immaturity !
As the world's coolest-looking cat enters...
South FL? Does he have a dojo there?
At the Sarasota Budokan
@@beyond_the_dojo Looks like an Aikido school and I ain’t seeing Rick on the instructor roster. He doesn’t have his own dojo somewhere?
Lauren is a pretty young lady.
Such a long convo, at least give the man a beer!
Actually, he was so kind as to offer us one 😁
