Hotton Sensei is so good, this is brilliant.

[@ruiseartalcorn]

I would go back to white belt in a heartbeat for the opportunity to train under this great master!!!

[@TehDanno1]

That is admirable. Though you'll notice the students he's usually teaching his advanced concepts to are generally brown and mostly blackbelts. As these techniques/concepts aren't things you'd start to pick up on till abit later in your karate training if ever at all. Like he's mentioned a number of times its can take atleast 3 years in some cases to develop the reactive muscle tissue to really utilize some of the things he talks about.

[@ikkenhisatsu7170]

I've trained Shotokan a long time, under several seriously qualified and JKA instructors, but he is the beast teacher I've ever seen. Amazing.

Peanut butter analogy.. 💙🙏

Oss!!!

[@claudes.whitacre1241]

Wow. I've seen lots of Karate instructors. Mr. Hotton is teaching the real stuff, the deep teaching. This internal movement is the engine that gives you power. Power that is far deeper, far more damaging than it looks. If you ever see a Kung Fu master, or a very high end Karate master dropping someone with a slight slap to the shoulder...this is how it's being done. And to the uninitiated observer, it looks like sorcery...or fake. It's a privilege to see such high end instruction.

[@bridgeshall6466]

He understands aiki better than almost any aikido guy. Would have loved to have seen him and Don Angier together.

[@OmniphonProductions]

YES!!! After years of seeing Shotokan as an ineffectively rigid series of poses, THIS MAN gets it. I've studied American Kenpo, San Soo, Wing Chun, Kajukenbo, Aikido, and a few others (to lesser extent), and THIS short video included some of the best principles of motion from _all_ of them. Relaxed striking to minimize stealing your own power and speed through antagonistic muscle tension. Taking your attacker's space, rather than moving around him. Aligning your skeleton (and particularly joints), so your body mass does the striking, rather than your primary muscles. Laying your blocking arm over your attacker's striking arm like hanging chain rather than a solid stick, which maximizes contact, so you can FEEL your attacker's movement and already have controlling contact. Not "tying up" your own weapon by grabbing an opponent, when you could simply "hug" the body part you want to control. Opening your mind to alternative approaches...particularly when other systems may do a particular thing better than your own...and, by extension, learning to open your mind to new, personality shaping life experiences in the process. I have a very short list of Martial Arts instructors whose videos I recommend, and Rick Hotton's name just jumped to a high position on it!

[@minkymalka]

Sorry to disagree, I still do d Shotokan, and other styles,as rigid ,my.opinion, boxing, especially Thai boxing, and mma, most practical, and easiest thing to do,in a real street fight.

[@bilbobaggins4403]

@@minkymalka Anything can be useful in your toolbox. The principles he is teaching about relaxation hold true for any martial art....including boxing...muay thai....etc.

Well said! What other martial arts videos do you like?

[@monroec.hatcherjr.8233]

Wonderful, no fake stuff here. I believe this man could fight effectively if neccessary. .

[@AlienPsyTing1]

Way better than most JKA instructors by a mile, he thinks as well and seems to have done a great job of modding the main techniques to make them work for him.

[@nelsonmendesportugal4044]

This is real karate great admiration for the work I've seen you do here on youtube this is how karate should be taught OSS 🥋

[@Ir0nRon1n]

Its saddening that I live in rural iowa, when one of the best karateka of our time has a school in Florida. I just hope that I can someday attend a class or seminar, because watching the videos alone elevates my karate. I can't imagine how strong I would become if I was formally taught by such a skilled sensei.

[@scottgregg1570]

Aubin Parrish's advice is gold. Sensei Hotton visits Kitsune dojo in Minneapolis with some regularity. We're big fans and will invite him again. Please join us the next time. In the meantime, check Sundaymorningkeiko's website for other opportunities.

[@mykaratejournal2120]

"to make yourself available is kind of a talent..." excellent observation and piece of advice, Hotton Sensei. Wish you strength and good health.

[@shotokankarate9690]

...same to you my friend

[@handsomestik]

I want to be as fit as Rick at that age

[@shotokankarate9690]

61, and there's so much more....

[@claudes.whitacre1241]

Yes, he's very fit. But that blinding speed? That isn't because he's fit. It's because his integrated movement is that fast. The technique makes him move fast. It's a different kind of speed than just moving a limb really fast...it's that the internal movements propel his arm (or leg or body) that fast. And.....I'm sure tens of thousands of hours of practice helps too.

[@philgould4569]

‘The resonating line within the space...’ is very thought provoking. But black belts with hands on hips and sitting down in front of the sensei show a huge lack of respect.

[@siddislikesgoogle]

you hit them with your Kamae. Always Kamae, always structure. So cool to see it this well explained.

[@jasonloree4676]

I know I have said this before, but this is absolute gold!!

Lol, look at my post, I've said it many a times. # 2 is Andre Bertel. Nuff said
