Thank you sencie for the clarity regarding stances , when I was practicing many years back the old school shotakan , we had only limited schools .. we never had you tube / tic tocs now the media has opened up oceans of information and variations from different sencies , & schools from all over the world. You are inspiring us to regain our interest again . Thankyou .
I'm doing your exact journey to "bring back to Okinawa" my ShitoRyu! I'm studying Gamaku, Chinkuchi, Muchimi and Atifa principles with a Uechi Ryu sensei and I can feel my Katas and my capability to generate power are improving a lot!
I agree a lot with the heel part, you can generate a lot of power without having the heel in contact with the floor at all times, for example, in kumite you'll almost never see anyone with their feet in the same way as in kata. Started to wonder why that aspect seems to be so important in the way we see kata. To me often times it feels like people have concepts like that because of the mindset of "it's martial arts, it's supposed to be difficult and awkward, so you'll reach your mastery once you got that right", when it should be the other way around. As martial artist we should follow the natural movements of our body to be more efficient, swimming with the current, not against it. Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts and explanations about your kata!
I literally read all of these critical comments yesterday! I only wanted to point out that your moves look more relaxed. Your hip snaps look amazingly powerful, yet the forearm is not tensed up. Everything looks amazing from a "Kung Fu" guy
Sensei, I very much appreciate your open mind and inquisitive spirit. I hope that in your research you’ll take a look at the method in which the “internal arts” generate power if you haven’t already. It was a game changer for me. I’m making more power now with less effort and less motion than I ever thought possible. If you need any reliable resources in that regard just let me know. Your sincerity in your quest is inspiring.
Oss Sensei, thank you. The video part of Heian Shodan helps a lot. My daughter currently White belt, will compete in her first provincial tournament this coming Saturday! Does your wife and family also do Karate.. I hope to start soon with my daughter! Stay blessed. Regards Chrizelda from Pretoria South Africa. 🙏🏻🥋🤗
Hey Sensei! It’s Andy from the retreat haha. Do you feel like your punches are easily telegraphed in a kumite/sparring scenario? If the hips are moving so much before the punch comes in order to produce the kinetic chain, isn’t that telegraphing to the opponent that something is coming?
When I'm doing kumite, I don't or can't do a full twist, so it isn't that much of a telegraphing. Also, you can sneak it into the 2 of your one two combinations.

Not exactly related but do you know whether non Kyokushin practitioners can enter Kyokushin style full contact competitions or if there is any alternative for other styles. Also great video as always
@@KarateDojowaKu when people say the purpose of karate Is self defence is that true or is it just marketing? Why was karate developed on Okinawa? They’re must of been some sort of conflict going on in Okinawa for the people needing to develop such an art

Rick Hotton often talks about finding "your karate" and that is what I saw yesterday. Keep going on that journey of discovery
your responses to these responses shows your knowledge and experience, excellent
Interesting point about how a kata can be performed differently depending on the karateka's focus. I've never thought about it that way before.

Very nice to hear your explanations and how you’ve progressed to more relaxed state in your kata

Thank you for the in depth explanation 🙏 I'll look it up.
Really looking forward to seeing more videos on the concepts you have incorporated into you current kata practices. 🙏

I think that this is a great example of the difference between "Japanese" Karate and "Okinawan" Karate

Low stances are essential if you grapple zenkutsu dachi is similar to a single leg takedown (not one to one but a similar motion)

Your hips movement completely changed but more power. The technique though seems different, the uke, tsuke

You Are KWF karatê no michi?
Jesus died and rose agian if you believe that he died and rose and were saved by grace through faith alone you will be saved. Once Saved Always saved no need to repent from your sins for salvation.
Just curious what does that last sentence mean? We are still called towards repenting for our sins even if we are saved by faith in Christ.
