Shorinryu Sensei Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 I agree with pendakarshihan1. "Hip movement" is a much more accurate term to describe all of the motions. To clarify on my earlier post, I wasn't exactly aiming for a full-blown hip rotation either. See my post: http://www.karateforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=14623 OK...you're forgiven...this time!

Shorin Ryuu Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 Thanks. I was wondering how I was ever going to sleep again at night. Martial Arts Blog:http://bujutsublogger.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isshinryuwarrior Posted February 3, 2005 Author Share Posted February 3, 2005 I've been trying the thing about focusing on pulling my hand back as fast as possible. That actually feels like I'm doing something better than before. Thank Isshinryu5, I guess i'll feel like it's almost perfect the more I practice over and over on my journey to black belt.

cmantim Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 I have noticed that if I am in a good, strong seisan stance, my punches seem to have more power than if I'm in a sloppy stance....sloppy stance=sloppy techniques. I've been told that punches start from the ground up, and I'd have to agree with that. When I first started out, my seisan stance was kinda high, and I often felt a little off-kilter, but when I settled into my stance everything seemed to improve dramaticly (almost overnight).

isshinryuwarrior Posted February 3, 2005 Author Share Posted February 3, 2005 Sesian Stance? I'm sorry, still new at this, what exactly was Sesian? I'm learning the moves fairly well, I'm having trouble learning the names of everything.....that will come with time I guess Oh my baloney has a first name.And its' name is K-A-R-A-T-E.Oh my balney has a last nameAnd its' name is......Hey! what is it's last name?

cmantim Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 should be one of the first things you learn.....it's your forward stance. Your weight is more or less 50/50. I've noticed people tend to sit high in their stances when they start out (myself included), probably due to the fact that they'e stretching muscles they didn't even know they had. Once you learn to settle into your stances, the power behind your techniques will improve. All that takes is lots of practice. It all comes with time.....and practice.
