I am amazed at sensei Hotton's ability to generate such effective torque power output backed with his theory behind each movement and its application. A true teacher using the science behind the art, the interplay between the Yin and the Yang. Not throwing the baby out with the bath water but using analysis, application and synthesis of studying the old art, making it new again; embracing the Zen philosophy of the Enso circle, that of constantly evolving! Choice!
This is absolutely excellent. As a teacher myself, who runs my own programs, it's easy to see I'm outdone by this gentleman when it comes to technique. As for the applications to the kata, I'm primarily Tang Soo Do, and I always browse around for great applications to the same form (TSD derived from Shotokan of course). This is a very useful video. You have extraordinary speed and "snap"! I'd enjoy more videos from yourself. Hope you still prosper in martial arts sir!
Rising Phoenix Martial Arts hey look at you what an amazing person you are for letting go of your ego and being willing to give in and say when you feel someone else's better reality that makes you a better person I also have a black boat and takes it all and a fourth degree black belt in Taekwondo but only a brown belt and Shotokan karate that's the reason why I'm on here watching this to try to get the best training I possibly can and so far this guy has it when I hear comments like you boy do I get floored by such an amazing humbleness like you have I'm glad that I got on here the right people attract to the right places the right places to the right people and you are who you associate with I'm glad that there's someone on here who knows how to make a good RUclips comment Bravo sir
He's just totally got the concepts of karate. Really impressive. I've trained under kanazawa, kase, Ohta, kawasoe, Murikami senseis, he is up there with them.
@@minasz There's a big difference between formal, technical training (this,katas) and actual free application. Ever see Lyoto Machida in UFC. He's a 6th Dan in Shotokan. His style is what Shotokan looks like at the highest levels of free application of the style. Very effective!
I'm currently learning Pat Sai Dai (our pronunciation of this kata's name) and my sensei recommended I watch these videos. I really appreciate how clear you have made the bunkai of the techniques. Knowing or being able to visualize what I'm doing has helped better my performance of them. Thank you very much!
You might want to check the complete bunkai ( ruclips.net/video/MY48Y49Sz5s/видео.html ) by David Gimberline as well. He's another good sensei of Shotokan school. You can check his bunkai for other shotokan karate katas at the official RUclips channel of Shuhari Institute.
I trained with Sensei Rick Hotton for many of years, actually received my Yudansha from him, Sensei's technique looks as good as it looked 30 years ago.. Oss Sensei !!
@@shotokankarate9690 Hello Sensei, l'm doing great and yourself, living Englewood,got married a while back,l would like to come by for a visit to the Dojo.
When you are changing directions you are doing movements 6 and 7 with your left left leg, why?, it is suppose to be done with the right leg. Is this a new version of the kata or just a simple human error or a new wy to see this part ?
Sensei if you don't mind then while doing the second turning stance of zenkutsu dachi you back leg is slightly bented which is not proper try to improve it....🧐
so at a beginning level I was taught that the back leg was locked out in order to brace any motion to the front however after 20years or so the rear leg is slightly bent but through practice has developed the stress pattern in the muscle fiber to substantiate the forward support. This then allows the hip to find a more level plane and connect to the internal dynamics/tension of the stance. Interestingly, the look of your karate changes as the practice evolves.
In Gypsy. people only perform acts of stabbing knives. People do not perform the act of kicking or grasping the opponent's hand or holding onto clothes😆
I like this guy, but I do not like the way his heel move backward when he is blocking forward. For me, it is fundamental, my entire body should be moving toward the target. Would you punch a very dangerous guy while moving my back foot backward ? I would not
+alain martin - I think this is just a vain attempt on your part to demonstrate some superiority as a practitioner of Shotokan Karate. Sensei Hotton's technique is extraordinary in every detail. I only wish I were still in his Dojo. I look forward to seeing your videos here on RUclips ... or anywhere for that matter.
alain martin you're no expert shut the f****** don't make any corrections unless you can make your own video this guy makes a video cuz he's an expert you talking about some stupid he'll you have no idea what the hell you're talking about I go on here to watch this guy's video and I read these comments cuz I can't wait to see some idiot like you you're the one you're the reason why I can't stand people who make terrible comments this guy's amazing not one damn thing wrong with him you have something wrong with you I can't wait for you to say something back to me cuz I'm going to tear into you
Gwee Doe yes I agree with your statement I totally tore into that guy for making such a stupid comment some people are just haters and they'll never stop
Everyones Body is designed to do different things, to think that we should all look a like and not have to make adjustments is a poor understanding of the martial arts. I know in Japan they push for that everyone should do it exactly the same, but do you really think LeBron James and danny devito should look the same when doing Bassai Dai? If you study your precepts, you will also notice the comment about stances. Some advanced students can't do low stances when they practice, it's called old age, so they need to modify what they do. Watch Kanasawa do his kata, knees are never out on his horse stance. this doesn't make him wrong, just modifying for his body type.
Frank Foulkes dude you turned a good comment and compliment into something stupid out of nowhere goes to show that you can't let go of your ego screw you sir I went from Reading one person who is willing to give a great RUclips comment to a crappy person like you shut up about his whooshing sounds focus on your own self if you want to make a sound let him make it some people make sounds when they do stuff like the sound you make when you act like a little b****

Congratulations! First American video about karate that I really enjoyed. No special techniques or special effects just pure karate with good tips.
Exactly!

It is wonderful to listen to a true Master.
Thank you.
how many times have I watched this video and still keep learning something new every time I watch it 😅
He's just totally got the concepts of karate. Really impressive. I've trained under kanazawa, kase, Ohta, kawasoe, Murikami senseis, he is up there with them.
you may say so but in that stance nothing will work naturally and will be very hard or almost imposible to pull it off.

This is done beautifully. Great explanation of basai dai.

Dang! How have you been Ken??? Still in Sarasota?
@@shotokankarate9690 l'm doing great and yourself,l live in Englewood now,got married to a lady worked with, what are the hours for the Dojo?
@@shotokankarate9690 Hello Sensei, l'm doing great and yourself, living Englewood,got married a while back,l would like to come by for a visit to the Dojo.
Who's your favorite sensei?? yep Rick Hotton!!!.. thank you Sensei for your hard work and dedication to the art!
As someone teaching current and future generations of karate-ka I love seeing your execution of Bassai Dai.
Thank you for stressing the importance of fluidity.
Flow and relaxation...
PS, Nicely Done. I was thinking I wasn't going to like this video, but I was wrong. Good job Sensei.
Good teaching
Nice 👍 and thanks for jobs sense 🙏✌️✌️✌️✌️🤝🤝
Love bassai dai oosshh
From my observation, there's shades of Asai Sensei in some of that technique.
Asai Sensei brought the brutality with his executions of kata.
Very intense.
This is real! Thank you!
Thanks for your kindness sir.i'm from Rwanda you I
Inspire me every session.osu
Hotton bertel la grande classe
Power and strong Kata ! My Kata for 1 Dan ! 🥋Oss
óptimo,optimo
Отличная техника
so faltou uma legenda...mais amei mestre parabens oss..

karate genius
Wow, I never thought of doing a mini crescent kick before driving down with the blade of the foot. It actually makes perfect sense too.
i wish he would do hein shodan i know its a beginning kata i am a beginner
Practice the movement first I am a white belt aswell but I already know the first kata
I practice the Shukokai-ShitoRyu version of Bassai Dai, but I really enjoyed this! He obviously has very advanced Karate skills.
the best
I think you mean a low centre of gravity.

Rick gives excellent instruction; but for god's sake, does he have to make all those wooshing noises? It's really really annoying.

He talks a lot, practices too little. Doing too little
