Rick Hotton Sensei moving your centre

Moving your centre to generate power and the 'right feeling' while blocking and counter-attacking. Really powerful demonstration by Hotton Sensei.

Thank goodness there's someone like him trying to get people to think about 'their' karate. Too often we are brainwashed to follow like sheep, trying to copy an idea that simply has not evolved. We need more Rick Hottons to come out of the woodwork and get us all thinking.

This question - “what’s the center doing?” - really made me look at my karate more deeply... 🙏

Ive been trying to say that for decades .so many people ive seen through the years have false back stance because any stace where 70% of your weight is on your back leg is in theory a back stance and any stance where you have 70% of your weight on your front leg is a front stance if your in a back stance and you cant throw a front kick with your leading leg your not in a back stance

[@yogi19581]

I think the counter attack should be much quicker?

Never seen a Shotokan master use "air quotes".
