I get it, i must have watched this video at a time without much understanding. I now look at this video like a follow along instruction rather than a demonstration.

Richard Brother, Been watching some of these new videos. Quite helpful and entertaining in these boring confinement times. Thanks for putting these out for the benefit of your students, and everybody else. Keep up the good work and look forward to more. Osu. León

Thank you sensei OSS!!

Thank you!! Oss

[@karmiccredit5875]

Excellent video, perfect demonstration of kihon practice. Although, id like to add I would encourage the use of Yamei-return to center- more executed for traditional repertoire of demonstrations for viewiers looking for novelty training.

[@richardamos3173]

Thank you for your comment. I'm not quite sure what you mean by your suggestion though? If you can explain in another way I'll try to accommodate...osu

[@richardamos3173]

Ah, I see what you mean about "yame" - I just watched the video again. As this was done in the garden it is very informal. In a more classic dojo setting I do indeed make this more composed and not as casual as I am in the video.

Amos Sensei, I've got a question. When moving forward in Zenkutsu-Dachi, when do you start your Tzuki? As soon as you start moving your legs, or halfway through the step? Of course it's clear, that both arms and legs end at the same time. I'm convinced you taught that both also start at the same time, but the last time I visited your seminars was like 10 years ago, so my mind might be playing some tricks. We had that discussion of when to start the Tzuki in our Karate University club and I'm confused. 😅 Thanks in advance.

[@richardamos3173]

Osu , thanks for your interest. Oizuki is a big challenge, and I think it's designed not just to step and punch something, but to create synchronicity of movement. Therefore, as much as possible, we should switch everything on at the same moment and just keep finessing that. The gears are different but everything should mesh and be a single unit. Starting the punch at halfway contradicts that. Strategically, you can hang back and observe the opponent but that shouldn't be the default. Either it's smoother and smoother or it's not. Simple as that, really. But super difficult!

@@richardamos3173 Thank you so much for the detailed reply! I understood your argument. (in theory, I'll work on it in practice). This also applies to all other hand techniques I suppose? Thanks again and I'm looking forward to seeing you some time again in Frankfurt. Osu!
