Is he one of asai sensei's student.

Look great for 60s

But is it Shotokan?

my dad, who runs my dojo, can be spotted in this video - he was so excited to meet this guy and train with him and made his inner karate nerd so happy

Gracias por tu sapiencia

I have a question. Is this sport-karate, fighting-karate (like MMA) or self-defense karate?

Es muy bueno.no sólo lo que enseña.xk más o menos muchas cosas.te las dijo tú maestro.si es bueno.. pero la forma de realizar las técnicas..es un crack.oss

As a strategist,I say with certainty that this man knows exactly what he is talking about. WATCH THIS VIDEO OVER AND OVER AND MEDITATE ON EACH WORD

you are genius of movement

Es genial.estria todo el día viendo sus videos.gracias por su sabiduría..

He deserve more views.. karate sport is killing Real Karate..

That was beautiful

Good

Thank you Sensei I keep coming back to your videos please keep posting!!!

I enjoy seeing the substyles within a style. Sensei Hotton being more core centric and others more linear

Oss...!! on a beaucoup de temps perdus pour l'explication d'un KIHON ou d'une technique de KUMITE /:cherchez svp de méthode andragogique rapide ./ Si ton KIMONO te gene chaque mouvement changez svp de KIMONO ample et à mi- jambe. [[ humblement je suis 50ans de Pratique Sensei j'ai le droit de te corriger]]

"Focus on the rhythm, not the construct." He makes that point in another video about going beyond just trying to make required shapes and calling that executing a technique.

Very fluid. Very effective!!!

As always, Amazing!

Absolutely amazing. Thank you Rick Hotton sensei

Super😍

this man is an amazing Martial Artist. but no one will just leave their arm out there in a real fight..

It would be nice to see you free sparring...

This is the best Karate I have ever seen... Thank you very much Rick 🙏

Es genial su soltura,técnica,rapidez.es genial

Thank you for sharing this knowledge with clarity Hotton Sensei - it is a wonderful video. We also have this similarities with Takemusu Aikido where the body movement create unlimited possibilities at high level and it is achieved when we have assimilated the basics correctly. The body becomes the brain and by moving relax, we create a formidable weapon that is commanded with the centre part of our body. We also incorporate the notion of Control (which you clearly demonstrate in this video), notion of emptiness where UKE is striking nothing, the notion of blending (moving at the right time), which you do so well too, notion of lever, notion of no-resistance etc. It combines many of these notions to work with body movements and once we realise that being soft is much stronger than tensing the muscles, we then truly see the true power of the body movement unleashing powerful techniques...

shito ryu always use this method also spiral we have tsukada sensei teach our shotokan group twice a year and he has been showing this on every class

Truly one of the best karate-ka of our time

Amazing

Excellent clip, Rick-sensei! The way you do the defensive/evasive moves with uchi uke, gedan barai etc. is exactly the same as I learn it from my Koryû (Okinawa) Gôjû-ryû teacher at our University Karate Club! There are always both hands involved in quick succesion or almost simultaneously, a slap or contacting and then go in! Also love the naturalness of your moves, always an inspiration!

I absolutely love Hotton Sensei's coaching and style. Does anyone know of a teacher of this style and calibre in Ontario, Canada?

Thank you for sharing this. Osu!

The "double hit", is actual techniques from Filipino Arts of Panantukan...

excellent insight. I'm pleased someone else see's past the silk veil of "parlor" Martial Arts. Sugoi !

What wisdom this man possesses 🙏

Actually a friend of mine (training Shotokan for decades) sent this video to me here in Germany. I'm training Wing Chun since 1990 and I'm really amazed. So interesting. There are so much similarities here - I see so many movements which are similar to Wing Chun. Also the thought about "movement patterns" is exactly the same. Drilling these patterns over and over again like programming your neuro-muscular-system all the time until these patterns just flow in what ever situation under whatever stressfull situation. Ellbows, chopping hands, the combination of attacks, the flow and the power - I guess in the end that's what we are all aiming at in martial arts. So well demonstrated and performed. Thank you! All the best from Stuttgart, Germany - from a complete different style. 👍🔥 Cord Elsner
