Hey all fellow karatekas! I have been practicing shotokan karate for a little over a year and I will be advancing to my green belt soon, G-d willing. I have been a little frustrated lately and as a result my self confidence is suffering. Whenever we practice kumite in class i never know what to do and i feel like i lack the speed and flexibility to carry out an attack. A main target of interest that I would like to work on is the height of both my Mawashi, and Ura Mawashi Geri kicks. I would also like to know how to gain that explosive power that I see so often in competitions. Thanks, Amiel OSSS!!!!!!
