This is a huge principal of Kungfu styles especially Bajiquan. From total relaxation to total contraction then back to relaxed. This is so good to see there are different ways to create power. Also the super stiff movements at times of hard styles like Karate can be extremely taxing later on in life. I’ve seen high level Japanese stylists still do there there hard body training but supplement it with a softer style like Tai Chi 🤜🤛
Karate is just effectively synching your mind and body with balance and power, so the smaller has a better chance over the larger, or just knowing where to ,find weakness.
How is sensei still a 5th dan? Why is he not recognised at the higher levels? Is he not part of the mainstream Shotokan community, so it out on a limb?
Superb Martial artist. His relaxed, flowing style reminds me more of GoJu RYU rather than Shotokan. It's a reminder that all styles of Karate have very similar origins. His relaxed posture and techniques remind me strongly of Sensei Hiagonna although they are very different physically.
Very good to watch Rick has fantastic explosive speed with emphasis on power as well. Body mechanics hip movement breathing resetting for the next strike. I think this type of skill set is very important to develop. Always been a fan of Shotakan Karate because of its simplicity. Rick explains very well and demonstrates great body mechanics and movement. Ps done stress about your calves. This video encourages people to re work their Kata make it better.
Torque is key! And hide it! Great! 👍 Been studying with Sensei Tani and then Sensei Kimura. Then both have past away! But got the technique of torque power speed! Yes like a whip! Relax then strike!

I did shooting for a while in the UK in my late teens and I liked it but it was a bit rigid less fluid. I moved to Australia and shotokan was hard to find it was all the made-up schools and some Goju ryu.
