You have eyes but do you really see?


Taking a few screen prints from somewhat latter in the Kise Sensei Clinic video I shared earlier, I believe it is worth considering.

 
Too often IMO people see one application potential for a movement. Here Kise shows how an entire range of potentials are present. How a strike with the fingertips can be delivered to a variety of different targets. Or how the manner of stepping into a turn can be just a step, or a smashing kick to the opponents toes and then continue with the technique application.

 
I have only done this for the smallest portion of that video.

 
It really is a great example of how Okinawan karate might be used.
 

The video is no longer available
