shuto uke - gyaku tsuki

[@rodrigoolea3268]

This guy has a deep deep understanding of the body mechanics and energy transferred involved in that strike...so good.

[@TheManofsorrows]

yes

[@henryod65]

Been watching his stuff over the last few days. He's totally got karate Do. A wonderful communicater.

[@johngraziano9182]

Excellent technique, and transference of power. I'm now looking closer at this technique.

[@donalddillman8549]

This Sensei has quite an impressive technique and teaching abilities

[@ridethelightning9]

But its odd that i can't find a single fight or tournament he's ever competed in. How do you become a sensei without ever competing and putting yourself to test

[@MrJbchocolate]

No need to proof anything else at money making tournaments nor beat anyone to proof himself effective applying what he knows. Tournaments trophies are just grown ups ego’s food, kid’s motivational tool and someones’s revenue....teaching the True Art is the most rewarding endeavor. Winning or losing...is not important.

[@truthserum9456]

Guys, do not understand yet? Sensei means teacher (hello) not mma champion. Jeeez

[@TheManofsorrows]

YES!!!!

[@MelloCello7]

Thank you for continuing to post these works of art!

[@kurisutian_deathmetal666]

Karate is a life style...I love Karate ...

[@arizonashotokaiusa838]

Good use of hip on the shuto strike.. a lot of Karateka don't use the hip. But shuto hand as far as I know with most Shotokan organizations there should be no bend in the wrist, but maybe in his organization they do it that way..

[@kri_motor]

Rick Hotton, I practice karate since 1986...you are the best teacher I've ever seen...it's a pleasure look at your perfect movements, I can feel the energy...thank you! Bye from Italy

[@shotokankarate9690]

Well, thank you so much for those kind words fellow traveler. We are all special in our own way, may we continue to see it in each other. Peace from Florida my friend.

[@305Lfx]

His kokutsu to zenkutsu transition is remarkable.. I respect Rick sensei so much.. he's a remarkable guy..

[@KarateOlympicChannel]

OSS! Hotton Sensei! At the international competitions we support, more, for your Athletes from team of the USA, than for example for teams which have reached the biggest result on medals, but have not learned to respect others (as a result let celebrate, we won't support them)! You have a respectful attitude to business and to opponents! It causes respect and brings result which you appreciate, already, not only You, but also all Worthy Athletes and Masters in the world! And many Athletes from other countries in conversation adhere to this assessment. I write this comment sincerely (despite the differences in our views on the process of training Athletes)!

[@TJAcoustic]

Excellent instruction! Thank you.

It would be interesting to see a free kumite video with this instructor and see how all this well-defined theory looks in action.

[@fredkarat]

exsellent work hip strength , rotation and kime , oss

[@paulosousa1357]

I like after shuto uke, nukite !

[@にほんものごとチャンネル]

Do you teach karate and aikido at your dojo?

[@lio88jian]

Great video, thanks for sharing. How does the power come from the core when the core is rotating away from the shuto?

[@KenpoKid77]

lio88jian Don't think of it as rotating away, but rather pulling your opponent in. Imagine that the hikite (pulling hand across the torso) was used to parry and trap a person's lead hand, and then pulls and brings the attacker closer to your shuto. That sets up a attack to neck/head that can be quite effective.

[@philipseiler4916]

Think about moving your shoulder forward rather then your hips back.

[@SENSEINENAD1978]

Now I see this is from 4 years ago, but that is great stuff about You Tube, time stop...Anyway, good question I would say. Sensei Hotton is great no doubt about that but...logically you asked a great question, I would add another one....why turning the back foot and why moving the "heal" ?! The heal is supposed to be the first part of the body in contact with the ground and should not be moving..throw heal we should get ower from the ground don't you think so? Sound to complicated...move body one way hand to another...I wonder how would we explain this to a weight lifter or a boxer....If I am wright, Kase Sensei use to say..no formality-reality....I would like to see Sensei hit makiwara, suck not opponent and I am not interested in his quality as a competitor like somebody mentioned in one comment..I am interested in logic and how to create power .....just making comment with no purpose to offend no body...I would like to share a video soon in support for this way of thinking. thank you all.

[@princezia3581]

Thnx sensie, love karate

[@mokitaism]

OSS! I was recently told the heel must not move on the rear foot when driving into Zenkutsu, but find this highly restrictive. Can you offer any light on toe or heel movement between the two stances stances?

[@ralphpalomino]

Think of it this way (Traditionally) if you were practicing on a makiwara would your heel be moving (in the air) or would you be grounded to deliver a solid punch? In sport karate its okay to have your heel come up on a gyaku / reverse punch. But kihon / traditional karate your heel should be grounded. When the heel is up, it is like car suspension the movement allows for energy dispersement. without suspension you would feel the heavy impact of every bump on the road. Hence punching we keep the heel grounded so that they (the person you are punching) may feel the heavy impact of the punch. Hope that helped. Osu!

[@Steaks652]

I'm 56 my belt is 30 year's old and yeah its fraying on certain edges, but heck nothing like yours, I have used it. , let's say a lot. You look good for your age OSU.

[@shotokankarate9690]

I feel as old as the belt :)

[@francoolivo]

I'm a beginner. Could you explain me why you have a grey belt?

[@ElizaberthUndEugen]

It merely lost its black color.

[@9187348756913]

hes washed the black out so it looks older than it really is. ive had one since 1988 and it doesnt look like that

[@dstgre]

likely washed with sweat then

[@gavianofernando3785]

The belt is not gray, is that it is a belt with the black part of silk, which is consumed with time and what you see is the part below.

[@gavianofernando3785]

9187348756913 what are you saying??

[@1jakedizzle]

I am 37, out of shape and a bit worn out. Is it too old to start Karate?

[@shotokankarate9690]

well. I'm 62. do not wait to sound your barbaric "Yawp".

[@edraith]

Totally legit master there

[@filthyMTB]

not driving from the heal into gyaku tsuki, why?

[@cardiyred]

Wow...You're move very Relexation. Just like tai chi.

[@Steaks652]

Nah, your too sharp, nice moves.

[@markwalker4142]

It’s a whipping effect where everything works in smooth relaxed unison. I totally get it because that’s what I was taught to do. Thanks Sensei Woods, Kawasoe, Kato ,Shirai and Kase for you guidance. OSu!

Wow, what incredible tips. You could add subtitles to your videos, at least in your native language. because I do not understand English perfectly, although only the video is already very self-explanatory. Congratulations on the channel. success! Oss

[@againstallodds404]

Thank you

[@KaratedoTiger]

Oss, All respect Sensei Rick. I love your teaching.However on this technique, I prefer the explanation of Yahara Sensei.After doing the Shuto Uke, your hips twist into doing Gayazuki.(Not stepping across)To me that is faster in execution.

[@krzysztofa9365]

Dziękuję 🤗🤗🤗 Thank you

[@ChriipS]

How does it help to rotate against your movement?

[@00LTCharles00]

Whiplike motion, I assume. You first rotate into the shuto, then rotate in the reverse. The reason: increase speed, giving a _snap_ rather than a "push" - this type of strike/block would have less impact if you only followed through. Also, rotating the opposite direction decreases the amount of your body that is open to an attack from the front (which is where you are blocking from already).

[@gavianofernando3785]

training

[@ryuutobi]

You use your other hand to pull your opponent's arm. The hip's motion helps you pull. The block is done when you move your hand near the ear. At the same time, you use your other hand to catch the very same arm that you block. Then, you pull that arm while simultaneously strike to the side of the opponent's neck.

This is JKA Shotokan Karate. The ikite is just under the solar plexus. In European style, it lays just above the belt.
