GojuRyu Bahrain Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 generating power in your punches from hip rotation...as opposed to what?Here is a video ( ) it gets interesting at ~0:20 ... ignore the striking power (the guy is obviously much heavier than his demonstration partners), the point is the speed of delivering several arm techniques in very rapid succession. Also notice the target areas.Power is largely irrelevant for open handed strikes to eyes or throat. Too much power would actually injure the attackers hands...I remember Gushi Sensei (Uechi Ryu) emphasizing on "Speedo, speedo! Pointo, pointo!" ------------Goju Ryu (Yushinkan since 1989), Shotokan (JKA since 2005)
