Tai sabaki

[ossemon]

Indeed. Movement should come from the center / the hips, and if you can't do a proper tai sabaki, you are doomed to mud walk!

Only after being taught Karate in tramlines we are eligible to study Tai Sabaki and all its aspects. I really wonder how comprehensive our instructors teachings will be. Can't wait though. I find myself reading all these highly advanced stuff that will take me around 1-2 years to obtain the proper rank to be taught. God I love shotokan... Like Def Leppard say 'when love and hate collides'.
