Toe Press - Hokoma Sensei


Another demonstration of the digging toe on top of the foot as a Force Enhancer.
 

 

First we see Hokama Sensei, of Goju Ryu, showing an application for a technique.

 



Then we see how Hokama Semsei uses the toe digging into the top of a foot as an efficient force enhancer. 

 



 
He also is shown digging into the floor (lightly) as a way to prepare the big toe for that grinding motion strength.

  2. The toe press was done to me by Karl Hovey at a seminar that unfortunately for me, left me with an infection on the top of my foot.
