On ne pivote jamais sur le talon, Tous mouvements du pied s'effectuent avec les Gochis, On ne pousse pas un meuble en prenant appuie sur les talons...!
No kidding! Pushing furniture has nothing to do with pivoting in karate. The one is a continuous slow effort in one direction, the other is a fast switch from one direction to another, together with a strike or a block. In Shotokan, most pivots are indeed on the heel, so that everything is directed towards the strike in the new direction. If you pivot on the ball of the foot, some energy is lost in the other direction.
I admire your enthusiasm and obvious love of karate. Thank you for your video on Nijushiho with some very nice pointers to help.
