This sensie is awesome the way he speaks to how he moves and how he teaches
I’m studying kyokushin in Japan. Hotton sensei’s movement is so explosive it is out of my world
Now matter how many times I see Rick, I never tire of seeing his movements.
I totally agree with you, I too received my Godan in 1999 by my teacher whom sadly passed later the end of the same year. I love you passion and depth of the journey and path you walk. I do the same and walk the same path. I plan to join with you by the end of this year, I am currently preparing my personal dojo in my home.
fantastic, the dawn rises on another tomorrow.
I never taught him, never trained with him or ever trained under his guidance .....but this Karateka is Absolutely TNT !!! Awesome technique...speed, kime, hip rotation,etc...
What makes him so special is that he WANTS to share his knowledge.
Comments, based on training at The Takushoku Diagaku in '72 and '75.
Your lessons are so grounding and provide so much perspective. An absolute joy to learn from you. Arigato Gozaimasta, Sensei.
Cheers,
Ryan
The unified field of all possibilities; the source of all creativity. Hotton sensei is one of the lucky few who understands it and can show it.
I studied Shotokan under, drew art, and even worked a bit w/Hotton Sensei. This vid is as authentic as he is. Much love Sensei. I hope to visit the dojo with my family this year. 🙏 👊
Here half to get tips to improve my karate and half to listen to him cos he just seems a really great guy.
La puissance est remarquable et impressionnante!
After a couple of decades of martial arts practice, I think I have learned that "relax" is code for something else, and that proper relaxation in the technique is an extant property of doing that something else. I can barely articulate it, but you can see it in Hotton Sensei.
I feel you, bro. Oss!
Thank you for your philosophical ideas. As one that has tried to follow the martial way since the 70’s, I have a different idea. What is truly humble. And who deserves the title of master. My feelings are that there is a point in a Senseis life, that the long standing “disciples” honor their teacher and friend and father with the title when ones body becomes“old”. Just like Funachoshi students did for him when building his dojo. He graciously accepted it. If he didn’t, it would be the opposite of humility. I had family many years ago actually becoming defiant because of their “humility” which in turn became the greatest example of pridefulness and great ego. Thank you for your videos.
Thank you Sensei 🙏🏻🌸 I like practicing with the Jo. Aikido has taught me so many things about relaxing and letting go the form. Very grateful for ! I see all of that in your Karate. Always good listening to you !
We travel together Tanja,...isn't it great!
@@shotokankarate9690 Yes 🙌
Big Sensei ! You definitely understood everything
Very insightful explanation.. thank you!
Mr Hotton, thank you - you have brought me back to that place you described when you first saw karate. I was 13 years old. I went to a judo class at my local sports centre and saw people practicing karate further down the sports hall. Something about the purity of clean intension visible in the movement cut through me. I began training a week later and was obsessed for over a decade. That was 1980 and I'm now 55. I've practiced my own karate every day since, but have not trained at a club regularly for many years. I became disillusioned by the effectiveness of karate with the advent of MMA. So I studied Gracie Jujitsu, Aikido and a few other martial arts. A couple of weeks ago my children wanted to go to a karate class. I joined in and felt that same feeling. And realised that the kind of fighting I had in my head is fear based and dark.
My question is how much do you train at your age to maintain such incredible speed and power? I still feel the power I've always maintained, but am wondering how long it will last or if it needs to diminish as I get older? You are living proof that it doesn't have to wind down. I'm so glad I found you as I now see that it's possible to keep going without fear. Since seeing your videos I've started training with renewed intensity - like the boy I was at 13 with no doubt or resistance.
I love it! To reignite the passion you had as a young boy when the world was full of possibilities - the truth is, I think it still has that magic we all have just somehow forgotten. Congratulations my friend for finding the joy and romance in life once again. At a deeper level I think this is what we are studying. As for my personal training, yes, I train daily but in a variety of ways. Sometimes slow, sometimes fast, sometimes conditioning, sometimes free and creative. Personally my karate feels better than ever - I think the trick is to listen to your body and spirit and adjust your inquiry in accord. I wish you great luck in your renewed effort my friend and know that I am next to you on this path.
@@shotokankarate9690 Thank you so much for all you said in your reply - this has blown me away.
5:07 wow I love that fluidity in his movements
I know...it’s completely superhuman.
Hotton sensei is a true master of karate-do. A great inspiration 🙂
I think it was Nishiyama-sensi that said (paraphrasing) each movement in karate is like bouncing off a ball. The total relaxation before and after a technique.. then only in that flashing instant of "bounce"... total focus. Then perfect relaxation to the next technique.
I see that in you, but strive for it in myself. Who knew relaxation was hard? Lol.
I never thought of weapons as a way to improve Karate, but watching you practice with the nunchaku I can see how the practice of one would flow into the practice of the other. Thank you for sharing your insight, Hotton Sensei.
Savat! Greetings from Dallas, Texas :)
I am grateful to have practiced a couple of very fluid formless martial arts prior to Karate as they made my Karate better.
Love it Sensei I take in everything you teach hope to join your zoom class soon
I practise on my own, Sensei. The basic things, punching, blocking, kicking, kihon and kata. I don't practise kumite, nor that jumping to and fro in that boxing sort of way. To tell you the truth I don't like it. How does kumite play a part, Sensei, in preparing myself for a self defense situation if it comes my way at all. Also, I think your videos are great and I watch them on and on, as well as to grasp the philosophy behind them which is really something, it's transcendent. Thanks a lot.
Mr Hotton does not take into account that the Shotokan taught and practiced in at least the last 60 years has little to do with Gigin Funakoshi's original style of the 1920s and 30s. Modern Shotokan is the result of the efforts and development work of Gigin's son Gigo.
Absolutely, That is why I feel resurrecting the spirit of Funakoshi's vision is so important.
Quality 🥋🥇👍🇬🇧
Amazing stuff.
Traduce al ESPAÑOL!
Sensei
Oss! Tsuki no kokoro, mizu no kokoro: great word of Funakoshi shihan
I have so much trouble with relaxation, maybe I should learn a weapon.
Nah! He's not so good 5:07 Never mind! Always enjoy sensei Hotton's demonstrations and conversation.
🥋OSS!!🥋
