Having practiced both Shotokan and ****o Ryu (which the software for this forum dislikes for some reason) I am curious about the direction and use of hip rotation practiced by forum members. Rotation away from or toward the technique? Why?

Well it depends on what I'm doing. If say I throw a reverse punch I will rotate my hips towards my target. It'll give me the necssary distance I need to punch through my target, as well as my power.

 

If I block, I may need to rotate away to create distance to avoid being hit partially or fully. The rotation hips can create power, speed, distance, and timing in my opinion. It'll just depend on the technique your using.

With an aggressive technique into the technique, with defensive across and to the rear of the technique. Not rotating into the technique decreases your power immensely, by around half.

Power comes from the hips. For max power turn and throw the hips more. However at times you need speed and less power so the situation tells you what to do.
