Hi Sensie Rick I saw an interview with you.....I ment to put a message on...so I need to look for that interview really! . I was so impressed . Iv never really focused on where the hands are at times...but after you doing it ..or explaining how to use the movement from body inti the hands was truly inspiring
Now there's an enlightened teacher I could learn from. It is like a finger pointing a way to the Moon. Don't concentrate on the finger or you will miss all that heavenly glory.
what I love about this is how he is taking concepts from other styles and applies it to his own karate, it puts things into a different perspective which is really interesting! I hope to be as knowledgeable one day.
IMO this 'feel' is exactly what the Chinese internal arts of Xing-Yi Quan (Hsing-I) & Baguazhang (Pa Kua) tend to develop: relaxation via elimination of any undue tension: keeping just enough tension to maintain form (as opposed to being too relaxed like some gelatinous blob that can't stand). Likewise, movement is relaxed using a whipping motion, throwing motion, or short & sudden impulse (when not using special-use slow motion techniques that require more tension). It's stillness/calmness in motion. And Xing-Yi Quan primarily focuses upon the mind's intent: aligning & moving one's body to carry out one's mental intention so that form matches intent [this is why it's key to know the actual function(s) of a kata/form, otherwise practicing a kata/form is just exercise].
Kimura Shukokai karate is the ultimate! Had trained with him since 1987 until his death on July 7 1995 and also lived in Japan and trained with Sensei Tani and lived in the dojo from 1984 to early 1987 when I joined Sensei Kimura in Hackensack N.J. But enjoy your videos! You show the neutral zone that everyone should have before a reaction! Oss!
That bit at 18.40 where he shows how he thinks Kata should be performed is incredible. He like explodes each move in the quick sequence.

Thanks very much for posting this. I found it to be an especially interesting video with quite a few little gems.
This video could not be more timely for me... I was just honored with my brown belt, but... there is something... missing...
Sensei hotton I hope you continue to publish more videos
Thank you for the video. Lightening. Like exposing the way between spelling anf talking.
Incredible sensei 🥋⚡️❤️🙏🏻
