Thank you such great content. You really explain the finer details so well, details that I have not had revealed to me in many years of study. Best karate YT sub so far. OSS!

The technical details that you provide for even the basics, fills in so many omitted details from my prior Sensei's!

Thanks Mr Gardiner , for this detailed reminder...very good for the beginners (to get rid off bad habits) and for us black belts (as reminder on "how to" review the right and correct motion in its inner mechanism..). Very good job

Great breakdown on the technical side of this technique from a Shotokan and “modern” sport karate point of view as a solo exercise for kata and kihon.

Mental images can help. Picture the front knee at the start of the technique as positioned on the top of a wheel, say at 1 o'clock when viewed from the side and the opponent located to the right. Initiate the technique by allowing the wheel to roll forward freely, as though a stone or other impediment had been holding it in place until your mind releases it to roll downhill toward the opponent at the instant the opening to attack is sensed.

Love these wee refreshers, and great stuff John. Though it's funny how contradictory shotokan is. For example, moving forward in stance bringing knees together to protect the groin, but if kicking Mawashi-geri the first thing you do in the traditional kick is lift your knee to the side exposing your groin. Another weird contradiction is, when performing the basic oi zuki we snap our back leg shut straight when punching, but then in advanced kata like Sochin, you don't. Still love my karate even with those weird idiosyncrasies.

Dear Mr Gardiner,

[@robinceuleers5595]

I’m a 30 year old Guy, i trained when i was 10 to 16 years old Kyokushin Kai Karate. Now i’m taking Shotokan trial classes. Its a lot difference about Shotokan and Kyokushin Kai. Stands are a bit different.

Bringing the knees together as you step doesn't only protect the groin. Consider what it does for your balance.
