I practice karate for over 40 years and Rick Hotton Sensei is in my opinion one of the top 5 most technical masters of karate. I am always inspired.

[@amk8411]

Other 4? Just curious

[@mike393000]

I agree. I was introduced to shotokan in 1983. I loved my first sensei but if I had Hotton it would have been even more a life changer. Like being given a calculator when I was using a slide ruler. Lol.

[@Maximilian0011]

yes, he does explain and shows how its done perfectly, listening and watching him you have not chance to not understand karate he is presenting.

[@andrenepomuk1438]

I'm a black belt, but I'm impressed with this master, what amazing moves and postures. A true master. I feel like a white belt watching his movements.

[@stevegartner7777]

A real master teacher who explains beautifully the importance of relaxation to attain real Kime and effective technique, without the robotics of some other styles. Thank you Rick Hotton Sensei .

[@franzkarate-do4839]

Kime, body connection, relaxation, hip rotation, whole body movement, grounded stance etc...Rick sensei profoundly inertialized the main martial arts principles, not only concerning Karate. It´s a pleasure to watch this elegant, snappy flowing, strong techniques! There are not many masters like Rick Hotton; unfortunately....

[@robroymacgregor7279]

Well done, 60 years practicing, this is how true training/ instruction is done.. I trained with great teachers and the development of dynamic and sensitive proprioceptive skills is paramount..Imagination, Intuition and Intelligence, my 3 mainstays in my Art... Be well all....

[@8unlucky8]

im a taekwondo guy but i stumbled onto sensei hotton but i honestly became obsessed with his technique and style and i aspire to have his understanding one day

[@stevebrindle1724]

I also hold a 3ed dan in TKD and agree. Sensei Hotton is a great martial artist

[@hampsteadcitykarateclubisk8258]

Always impressive, Sensei. The connectedness of your movements is a joy to behold. Oss

[@markdelalama]

Awesomeness. Incredible technique.True budo karate at its finest. Watch and learn. It works with all walks of life.

[@MartialArtsGamer]

Excellent. Words cannot describe how elegant his movements are.

[@frolic63]

One off the best ever no matter the style of karate

[@mikenelson5903]

Been doing karate for 50 years very good body dynamics, Sense Richard Kim always taught and talk about this. Well done.

[@philemonnkwanga9282]

Sensei you are the best ❤

[@shevetlevi2821]

Hotton Sensei is what I picture in my mind's eye when I picture Shotokan done beautifully. An absolute pleasure to watch.

[@markdelalama]

I definitely can relate. One of the best. A way of life.

[@williamsmith8790]

His connection to his dan tien is impressive. It’s the missing ingredient in 99% of karate taught in the US.

[@heyvitohey7500]

Grande Hotton-Sensei! Big inspiration, allways.

[@lennarthage8942]

[@brankoanthonyposa3005]

A brilliant karate master.

[@psuedomonas1]

This guy sensei is a treasure

[@chrish4994]

THIS IS AN ULTIMATE EXAMPLE OF OYAMA SAYING YOU CAN SPEND YOUR WHOLE LIFE LIFTING WEIGHTS AND YOU WONT GET STRONG. THIS MAN IS VERY STRONG.

[@romuloambay9624]

guy's power relies so much in speed. .that is his secret. .the whip principle in his punches were almost identical to bruce lee's blinding speed of delivery. .the secret to all these are pliability, flexibilty and small muscle developments. .big muscles and stiff limbs hampered speed. .small compact muscles generate lots of speed. .

[@mreverybody1150]

@@romuloambay9624 Without Isometrics Bruce-Lee would have been much less effective...and that's exactly the sort of training many shun despite the science.

[@bieneulm1982]

Nice explanations. OSSU!

[@RevSteveHermann]

Excellent

[@naseerart]

Great Master.❤️ Oss

[@jdhiker5576]

Incredible kime...

[@kelterflores286]

Esse mestre é fera

[@albertkazemian603]

Shotokan Karate, traditional and the best.

[@karatedogueto]

[@Flipstar1986]

Hotton-san, simply the best sensei.

[@samigarira7971]

[@LT-th9xf]

He makes me want to train in shotokan

[@shawnmartin1289]

AWwwwww maaan! I missed this?! Efffffff. please come back to the bay Someday

[@shotokankarate9690]

Tmj 👊 OSS

[@framestomind7548]

Is Rick coming back to teach in Sweden this year? If so, which clubs will host him? Please let us know more! This teacher for me is like a chance going to a dream seminar! Osu!

[@69ElChistoso]

I bet if he took off his shirt that old man would look like a machine!

[@hezekiah74]

He is showing how real Karate was before Funakoshi "Stiffened it up". The most relaxed Shotokan you'll ever see.

[@brucelevine6517]

not Funakoshi but Okanawan in general

[@thskywkr2147]

What a differece of level this is real karate, karate have a real meaning not only dance or win medals and be a champion.

[@earlcheatham9152]

Ergo!..POPPING your Gee!..Oss!

[@jeffrobodine9583]

Sensei Rick is (in my humble opinion) doing karate, GUNG -FU style. I'll explain, in GUNG -Fu the forms flow from one movement done correctly to the next with NO break between them.

[@hezekiah74]

Yes, very rare in nowadays stiff Karate

[@realtalk9169]

Great Sensei. Is he and doctor Oz the same person collecting two paychecks?

[@seidomike]

Ous!

[@grahamarnhem8659]

Looks influenced by mikio yahara.very explosive.

[@lbar2458]

So apparently i am seriously missing connectedness. Can someone point me in the direction to begin this training. Like maybe exercises. I know im missing something because my karate feels fake or empty or something. Its just not there.

[@vasoschrysostomou863]

This is karate

[@gerard4803]

Faster than Bruce Lee 👍

[@user-hq4wd2sh8e]

ohss

[@christophercurtis2893]

Very good! But...a lot of tai chi chaun in there. The stretch, release and connection is pure tai chi chaun. Some karate people don't want to hear that. Many Karate students/Senseis practice rigid blocks and strikes, but here you can see his looseness and relaxation. Sensei Kanazawa practiced tai chi for over 50 years.

[@universitylink]

He is looking like Andrew Bartel Sensei of Germany
