Hotton Sensei has a wealth of knowledge and an incredibly deep understanding of technique and body mechanics. One of the most intelligent karateka on the planet. I could listen to his insights all day.

My son practices Karate and attended many seminars including 2 by Rick Hotton. By far they were the 2 seminars where we were the most impressed (i attended as a spectator). What is so different with Sensei Hotton is that he makes a point of applying physics on the physique. And when you know his age, you can't believe how he moves. A true Master

3:40 you talk about very important traditional Karate principles that many schools forget, you learn a structure to liberate yourself from the structure... in real combat situations, you liberate yourself from the form and it all comes naturally with the training.. this is what many people don't understand, that martials arts teach you the way, but you have to come out of that "box" and see beyond the form to be effective, that's Karate, a constantly evolving art. Your videos are a pleasure to watch, hope i get near your level one day, salutations.

How come after 30 years of training I still don't understand this idea? Though I've been saying this forever. In real life the opponent doesn't stand there waiting for you to do your move. Its all split-second decisions and I don't care how much you work out in the dojo practicing like this will never work very nice in theory but not practical. For any technique to work you have to fight full speed and full contact just like you do on the street. Anything else is useless

Just like my friend who doesn't know how to do math, he said he spend time doing it but he didn't really try to understand it at all. He kept saying to himself he won't use it in his life, so he didn't really put in the effort. When he do revise he kept doubting, so at last he learnt nothing.

This guy is great. easy to see he's as good as they get. I teach but he could be my teacher. I'm humbled. I appreciated the part where he talked about structure. he showed traditional blocks shortened to be more realistic. My teacher calls this spontaneous reaction. I call it having a maximum and minimum of the techniques. essentially the .aximum is the full chamber, and the minimum is a small as it needs to be in order to achieve the desired goal. his way of describing it was very philosophical. Great stuff here.

Wow...that really opened my eyes. I always thought that learning the structures of karate or any martial art was simply so you could have the technique and make something different from there. Kind of like having a white canvas and learning karate was like receiving the supplies like paint and brushes and etc. to make art. but after watching this video, it made me realized that its good to have the paint and the brushes there but, art necessarily doesn't have to me made simply from those materials. it can be made from anything. Just like karate, its good to know basics but in reality, anything can be done so long as it is affective. Sensei Rick, please come to British Columbia, Canada ( more specifically Vancouver) sometime! It would be an amazing experience and an honour to have you here! Many karatekas could learn quite a few things from you :)

Well, It's karatedo and not intended to be purely utilitarian. Like chado is not simply based on overcoming thirst - it is a vehicle to engage the "way". Although with that said, we do see how many karate technique have worked their way into the practical mma world. I have sustained a practice for 49 years because I find great depth in the pursuit of this art and how the principles extrapolate into everyday living. I think this was also the approach of Funakoshi sensei. Somehow folks equate karate-do with a fighting science..I would disagree. I must say however, that I have defended myself on two occasions and it seemed to work, but that is not why I practice.

@Jeffrey Wise I’m a karateka myself. I know about karate (and other fighting sports). I also know about its limits. If no real hard fighting techniques and spirit is added to it, it is not worth too much. I have seen so many guys in dojos thinking they were it and could sustain real street fights, it would get painful at times... Karate vs MMA ? Well, karate is one part of MMA. My perfect training session ? I suppose it could look like pure traditional training for warm up, and then transitioning to more hard core fighting, ending with sheer street fights with protections while trying to use karate techniques, short fights with karate techniques reviewed and applied for each configuration. And even using video to realize what people do wrong and how they can improve their reactions, becoming more technical, more precise, even before some nut attacking like crazy. For’instance : 30 second fight with video, telling one guy to attack like a nutcase and the other one to respond with karate techniques - watch the video - what have you done well, what could you do better, what should you do - back on the tatami, trying to repeat the attack and the counter attack from what has been advised - again and again. Sen no sen. Working on various attack styles : from drunk guy, from fast guy, from muscular guy, from vicious guy, from two guys, left handed, right handed, etc, etc... Have you been in a fight before ? It’s sheer chaos...
