I ll never forget...a seminar with SHIHAN KASE in sweden...he gave me a little tate uke on the right hand.couldnt move the hand for 1 week.R.I.P. O SHIHAN.
I believe that Kase sensei often emphasized power generation by dropping down his weight. The fudo dachi is also more rooted than zenkutsu dachi and doesn’t allow as much hip rotation. His principals were based on his own body structure and fitted his style very well. His students practice this characteristic style of shotokan with a lot of breathing and rooted stances apposed to JKA and JKS that focuses a lot on hips rotation, or Yahara sensei that focuses on compression/expansion. In my opinion all three methods are equally important to understand and practice in order to apply/combine in the proper occasion. Osu!
@@mikeodonovan9299 I miss the old school Shotokan karate that sensei Enoeda, Kato, Shirai, Kase, Kanazawa and Asai practiced. They all had a personal flavor that seems to be lost in modern standardized way of practice. The shu, ha, ri is lost but they all left a big impression in the way their students practice.
He’s telling them to ground the power , to deliver from a more stable base instead of it being floaty and weak. Hentei waza is how this is manifest. Good to see Marc Stevens at his younger years. Great karateka and not known universally. As good as Hooton of not better. Dynamic and he hits hard as I’ve felt it .!
The ritualistic noise of slapping Gis is good just to cover the beating you take in the street or in the ring when you practice this art-I know 'cause I did for years
It is not. Karate is E = (m x v^2)/2 - that is importent - not P whatsoever. Think about a bullet - it has a lot of energy because of huge speed - it has no acceleration and very low mass.
@@jenssperling6020 Yes, I can go on on the subject. If we take the first derivative of that kinetic energy formula, we can see that by increasing the mass by 1 kg gives the energy increase by just 1 time. However, if we increase the speed by 1 m/sec, we get the energy increase by 2 times.
It's way too rigid ... they look like robots doing these jerky movements in the air ... in combat karate, they are fortunately much smoother than in these so-called traditional styles
