I have lamentable karate skills lain dormant for over 40 years, but that simple statement in terms of an attacking action “deliver, don’t push” is the most insightful I’ve ever heard!
Even though I've never heard of Rick Hotton, it's obvious that he knows his stuff, has good technique and has a nice relaxed way of instructing as he tries to get the best out of students. I've now spotted that he's a member of the Tamon Sensei's NSKF, which explains a lot. Having trained with Pemba Sensei in Japan, I found him technically excellent, a very good teacher AND a very decent person. He's also a lot of fun to be around after class.
I love how so much of his teachings center around demonstrating and articulating the bodily sensations of performing the techniques. it makes it very graspable.
Excellent videos. I like the way Sensei Hotton breaks techniques down, but also describes how they 'feel'. That helps in understanding the body mechanics.
Can anyone provide me with a link to Sensei Hotton doing a complete kata start to finish? I'm not a Shotokan stylist but I've had exposure to it and think that his karate exemplifies the power and crispness of Shotokan. Yet in any video all I see him doing are breakdowns of kata or technique, enough to easily see how extraordinary his karate is, but I'd love to see the whole thing.
Dear Sensei Holton, I am very admire you force execution. I would like to learn shotokan through your concept. Please let me know if there is any information that I can access to. Thank You.
Wouldn’t be kicking like that in boxers stance, also karate sits upright above the hips with straight back and chin up, I imagine without the stance you would lose the mobility and get clipped. Even the combos differ significantly. But, I’m just a dude, try it out you might find great success with that modification!
@@louisviola9763 I boxed a little a long time ago, so I understand what you mean. But I meant his body position is different to a boxing stance. The whole essence is different. the weight for one, but it could be combined I'm sure.

A demonstration of true mastery.
Masterclass
He is the best instructor I’ve ever seen. Hopefully I can get the chance to learn from him one day.
Wish I was there our modern founder of shotokan amazing inspirational instructor ooss
lots of power generated by relaxing in his technique.
I liked his comment about taking away rather than adding more...he moves effortlessly
This SENSEI ! is fantastical the inner knowledge of a peaceful art reminds me of my instructor I wonder if sensei H knows Ray fuller?

Genial karateka.

Awesome stuff by very talented martial artist, just wonder how much better it would be with a more narrow stance? Kind of like a boxers stance.

@@TheRogueSquid I think you would have more mobility, try it for yourself

@@matthieuschmitter6676 boxers and mma fighters never stand that wide and they have no issues generating power

Gracias !!!
good kime and relax..oss
Same problem what we have in Brazil. "Black Belts" of cheat. kkkk This is the market of belts. The Hotton Sensei is good, but the class not!
Seduction Chanel that's not necessarily true
