Thank you for the detailed explanation Sensei. Oss!

Amazing 👌

Let’s give a thumbs up to the Uke as well…!!!

Love it thank you ever so much!!!!

Very good in the world of fighting it's best to be prepared for everything it is the man that makes the art doesn't make the man offense and defense always has won this is the world of fighting be prepared for everything laid on the line weapons no different than A Punch Kick old sweep and always take advantage of the enemy's most obvious weaknesses the ability to see and the ability to stand the same mentality applies even in the real fight to put the enemy down for good where the competition and prize money in tournaments matter street fighting no rules except only one put the enemy down for good as quickly as possible they don't play by the rules so why should you enjoy be sharp in every sense vision and hearing and always adapt to every form of fighting for the for the obvious to assist the strengths and weaknesses Always always create and take advantage of every opportunity and leave nothing to chance even when demonstrating always be on your sharpest guard offensively and defensively enjoy seek only victory ✌️

Very interesting ❤, but for example in boxing 🥊 the gloves doesn't allow to squeeze the fist in that exact position how would you punch with boxing gloves?? I have tried to do it like this 👍 but I ended up hurting my nails especially in the uppercuts so if you know how the professional boxers have solve this problem i would like to know i have done some research, but I haven't found someone who explain it, awesome content ❤

This is an excellent video from Hotton Sensei clearly explaining how the core works with the technique for Tsuki. Very helpful indeed! Thank you.

Soft and powerful just like water osu Senseï Hotton

Thank you

That's a really well worn black belt... Oss.

Osssss

Hi from Portugal 🇵🇹 I am a practitioner and teacher of Aikido and like the way Sensei Rick Horton explains the movement of “irimi” in Aikido. Of course, he is an incredible karate 🥋 Master who did many lessons of Aikido. I love the way he uses the biomechanics of his body by producing power front is inner center. OSS 🥋👍👏 Salutations du Portugal 🇵🇹 Je suis un pratiquant et professeur d’aïkido et j’aime la manière dont Maitre Sensei Rick Hotton enseigne le mouvement « irimi » de l’aïkido. Certes, il est un incroyable maître de karaté qui a fait beaucoup de leçons d’aïkido. J’aime la manière dont il utilise la bio mécanique de son corps en produisant de la puissance depuis son centre intérieur. OSS 🥋👍👏

Beautiful karate and amazing Aikido skills. As a teacher and practitioner of Aikido you did very well Shihonage and kotegaeshi. The fluidity and the power you generate from your Center (ki) is unbelievable. 👏👏👏 OSS 🥋

Hotton sensei is hot, his martial science, is right on. I have a 3rd degree Black Sash in Northern Kung fu, and a 2nd degree Black belt in USA Goju Karate, and now studying Kuk Sool Won with Master Marin Sims. And he goes over the same concepts of movement. Im 62 years old from the old skool of Budo Karate or Martial Arts, and its a great life.. blessings to Hotton Sensei and all the student

Excellent explanation

Something I have noticed in the comments on Rick Hotton videos....there is never any "This wouldn't work in a real fight" or "I would do it a different way". His superior movements are so advanced, everyone, including arm chair warriors, sees they are watching the real thing. By the way, the first few moves are what Kenpo calls "Five Swords". I've seen hundreds of high ranking Kenpo Black Belts do that series....but none has the power and penetration we see here.

I'm in kyokushin karate but this is just incredible! The power he generates is insane!

I’d suggest compiling the sessions into videos available for purchase too.

Respect to satome sensei oss

What a piece of wisdom. It makes so much sense!

I really dig these lessons 👽 good thing im missing both chromosome 16 s 🤪

Hello from algeria and OSS

Thank you for these inspirational thoughts💛🙏

"The quality of the questions you ask yourself internally, is what's really driving your practice." What a wonderful quote... in my view, this could also be extrapolated to "..., is what's determining the quality of your life / the depth of your wisdom / the joy you experience living."... I really like your and your sensei's approach of the whole style question (as far as I understood it correctly). In the last 20+ years I've trained in different martial arts (Aikido, Southern style Kung Fu, Ninjutsu and now Bjj), mostly because of changing living environments and my own curiosity. Not to say of course that I "mastered" anyone of them in any way or form, I feel that've always been drawn more to the teacher (and her/his unique way of teaching movement(s) / technique(s)) than the style itself. So, in the last years I've been gravitating more and more to principle based learning, because I think that it's the most universal approach and not in such great danger of being limited by "outdated" traditions and "empty movements", which I believe to exist in some traditional martial arts still - not to say, that there lies no deep wisdom and proficiency in these systems. So please don't get me wrong here. I think there lies great value, for example in the handed down katas, in their hidden secrets (applications) and movement principles and I'm very intrigued by many aspects of the art of karate; not only the educational and personality-building characteristics (respect, courtesy, integrity, etc.), but also the practiced movement principles and the "low sugar training approach" (doing the same movements over and over again, until they are "perfect"). I'd be very interested in your deeper exploration and understanding of how to tackle the issue of form vs. formlessness in teaching. As a high school teacher, this is what's constantly on my mind in the context of school teaching environment. How to cut the cake? Which are the underlying movement principles? When to introduce the context of a specific movement / content? Are there principles that are universal to "all" the styles? Which are they? Is it good to firstly isolate specific movements, then to integrate them in a larger movement pattern and only then give freedom to improvise freely? Or should we use the "ecological learning approach" (getting more and more popular now in Bjj -> Greg Souders), which basically doesn't teach isolated movements or patterns, but creates playful scenarios (i.e. in restricted kumite settings), in which the students can find their "own style" within the style from the beginning? Kind regards from Germany Ferdinand

Heaven, human, earth. That is all. Thank you for your teaching sensei.

Thanks again for the inspiration and insight to the heart-to-heart you had with your teacher. You touched my heart with this. It is a good day!!

<3

What a wonderful video. Thank you for sharing.

Gems....every insight is a gem@ OSSU SENSEIS!!!

Beautiful

I was talking with a class sometime ago, standing in the dojo with the floor covered in those interlocking one-meter-square blue/red mats. I said that our karate is the whole room and each of us stands in our own place. We can't all stand on the same mat. Our karate is a framework not a prison. It should be a starting point not an end point.

Thank you for sharing this. I can it was a very personal moment, but what a great teaching.

Enjoyed this very much. Wish it was longer. Thank you for sharing. 🙏

This is one of your best!

I love this. They are like a close father and son. Thankyou for sharing.

Hotton is the Best!

PRICELESS
