hit the moment naturally

[@jvernonbrown9914]

Having studied shotokan and wu tai chi from various talented teachers for over 60 years, I am most impressed by your understanding of the concept of “tanden” and its practical application . Thank you for the clarity, Sensei.

[@hamzadesidragonsarwar]

We need a sensei like him in all dojo’s

[@normanbueno9570]

"This moment is like no any other moment..." You just reminded people a great Eastern martial arts precept that has profound ecumenical or universal applications in life in general, which precept or principle most people, including I, forget. Thanks

[@sumerupillipes909]

Beautiful. Pure aikido philosophy!

[@hustla1469]

Agree with Norman. What this sensei says is what got me into karate, but somewhere along the line....I focused on too much bunkai , kumite moves and strength training. Thanks for reminding me!

[@1337Arash]

Very good mixing of Karate and Aikido

[@alexrances17]

El sensei de internet con el que más he aprendido!

[@rogeancelibio5905]

No words can describe your passion to teach the art and ways of empty hand Sensie..

[@Hitokage]

The demonstration with the fan though! Like from an ancient master story or something :D

[@LukaszKisala]

I'm loving these videos, please keep them coming!

[@danskarate997]

This is the calm and still technique of karate that I wish to have

[@subhamdawnknight]

Definitely one of the best masters

[@Hans_Hamon]

No Kami: Empty Mind. Well demonstrated, Sensei. You raise many great points, Sensei, and based upon my own experiences as a lifelong martial artist, a Soldier in the United States Army, and as a combat veteran of OEF-OIF, I concur entirely with your assessment and mindset. Be whole. Respectfully, Mr. Shepherd, U.S. Army (Ret.)

[@captainsalateanoo]

Amazing explanation.... And well explained thank you sensei

[@danielm969]

Well, this guy understood the essence of Martial Arts. He is a Master I would really like to train with!!!

[@TheJeff91]

A simple, well thought out, great explanation of a simple yet complicated principle! Very nice ! :)

[@digidyle]

This takes martial arts to a completely higher level where it is not all about physicality, it is about the art of movement and of a natural and spontaneous frame of mind. You don't need to practice karate to learn from these lessons.

[@shotokankarate9690]

Yes! I'm glad you see that. Many folks out there view karate only from a utilitarian perspective when in fact it is much more than that - it is a connection to life. Like the tea ceremony, is not simply about quenching your thirst. Funakoshi sensei once said, "you cannot explain the taste of blow fish to someone who has not eaten it".

[@PTwolf]

I found out that since I started Karate I got so much better on Guitar, much more expressive. Perhaps because of this thing you're saying about Ego and letting go of those thoughts that limit your success. Just be. You're right, everything else will flow in your life.

[@shotokankarate9690]

That's great, and if you add to that paradigm karate's ability to invigorate and coordinate your neurological system you can better point everything in the intended direction (a possible definition of karate). - connect to the moment, be totally engaged, free up your mind. One life, one moment.

[@PTwolf]

I'm glad there's someone touching and explaining this aspects so well (which is a rarity in the internet and an hidden treasure really). Whenever I have any doubts about Karate you manage to elucidate me with such an open mind. So, I'm really grateful to you Sensei.

[@shotokankarate9690]

...shoulder to shoulder we all go.

[@sodanyaku]

I have had the same experience with guitar and karate. Very cool to hear that

[@hamzadesidragonsarwar]

I did the same I let go of all the grudges I had it made me a much better fighter it’s like I am completely balanced in mind and body

[@cruzuriarte6472]

Very well explained with spiritual and practical application.

[@gkfandublagens8703]

The best sensei!

[@amospizzey1]

This is amazing instruction

[@NightKnight252]

This is the “mushin” mindset of karate

[@Yurimartins97]

Thank you so much.

As soon as I saw his ragged, worn out obi I knew he had wisdom but, this is on an even higher level than what I had expected 🤤

@@shotokankarate9690 I saw some videos of Saotome sensei and it looks like he has some real aiki which over 90% of Aikido masters dont have. This real "energy" technique you cant resist. Did you felt that?

This is definetely no karatem at least no traditional karate. This is aikido and this technique is called kokyu nage.

[@danarief]

He got Master Ueshiba's pict at the back, maybe he learned both?

He is trained in both Shotokan and Aikido
