my dad, who runs my dojo, can be spotted in this video - he was so excited to meet this guy and train with him and made his inner karate nerd so happy
I am 70yrs old and have trained in 3 different martial arts,15yrs of Wing Chun, TKD to 3rd dan and currently a Shotokan student. I think I can recognise a true master when I see one. Sensei Hotton is a true master!
I really love this video! Well made and well explained with Aiki principles that Rick Hotton discusses and shows. I am Aikido practitioner and teacher (Iwama Aikido) and his understanding is very very good. We do exactly this with our study with Aikido... Brilliant to witness similar understanding and approach - thank you for this sharing!
This all goes back to Yang Style Tai Chi origins(combat).
Rick Hotton.
My friend..
His knowledge of Te is wonderful..
He's taken the Do"... and enriched it..
I came up in the late 80s and 90s in Shotokan Karate under my late friend keinosuke enoeda sensei. Original JKA hard-core training... hundreds of tsuki and geri in a lesson..
Gadan bari kihon basics ..
All life affirming and wonderful...
I cross trained in various arts.
Rick's Aiki amalgamation is something special..
This is a wonderful explanation of timing, irimi/entering, contact, and relaxation. Very nicely done!
Hotton’s teachings of aikido are a good lesson on why we should integrate the hard and sort of different styles. These stem back to China in the internal systems of Ba gua Tsung, Shing Yi, and Tai qi Chuan.
This makes me think of Gojushiho in a sense. A complete Aiki Karate system.Gojushiho movement is quite similar with Aikido grappling technique in terms of flowing knife hand or "tate-shuto-uke" or vertical knife hand block. "Tate-shuto-uke" does not resemble other shuto uke which resemble as "block technique". Rather it was throwing technique in "aiki-jujutsu". Another "shuto" technique as "shuto-nagashi-uke" or "knife-hand-flowing-block" has become the unique characteristic of Gojushiho because of flowing movement which is not merely interpreted as "block", but a "throw". Enjoy the Videos

Fantastic Sensei, a truely enlightened Martial Artist, his style of teaching is so relaxed as is his take on Karate, I wonder though how difficult it was for him to "forget" the natural response of tensing up when attacked, how is it that we can learn to refuse to do what comes naturally to us?
Mr. Hotton. I love the way you explain and break things down excellent! Thank you!
I really adore this demonstration of hard and soft. Thank you for sharing widely with us.
He is the best karate master I seen .
I totally agree with you. Great teaching, I trained with sensei Toshio Osaka in the 1970s Wado Ryu Karate in Salt lake city Utah. Wado has the juijitsu connection. Then in the 1980s started Aikido practice now I am a godan with aikikai federation from Japan. I went through the same feeling of going from too tense to more relaxed. Keeping one point, control your center to control your opponent center. Extent aiki, like you showed moving through your opponent. Nice video, RightNow I am in El Salvador but once a year I go back to California. Hope one day I can participate in your class.
I am a long time SKA BB, Hotton is clearly a very high level Karateka, impressive, truth, simple, so effective. respect.
You're an amazing teacher sir much love!
Just past 13 minutes in Hotton did a straight Aikido defense, taking the Uke forward in a circle, then a circle to the rear. As an unbanked White Belt decades ago, my instructor would always pull me up for Kumite demos, but I could often hit him (bad punch, but good timing). One day he did that exact defense on me. A few years later after doing a little Aikido, one of the defenses seemed really familiar. I asked one of my Seniors if that old instructor knew Aikido. My Senior said that that instructor was a Brown Belt in Aikido. I still love the feeling of just opening my hip and allowing my opponent to come in!
Always something illuminating!! Thank you!
I have been doing karate for around 10 years now and it is shotokan karate that I do I want him to do a session at my club
ask your club or organisation senior sensei to invite Sensei Hotton or I suppose you may be able to find his Dojo details on here
I've been utilizing Aikido in all my kata training.
First a book recommendation that will science-based underpine what you are trying to teach. "Move" by Rob gray. Basically you want the student to internalise the form to get access to the spirit or Pattern(Christopher Alexander comes to mind) in which it participates. Than with time you don't need to embody that particular form but the form that is appropriate to the context will arrive with the connection you have with that spirit .
He is amazing
Love watching Rick Hotton's teaching. Much closer to Wado than Shotokan.
Very selfish of me but I know Muay Thai practitioners would love to see Sensei turn his mind to that martial art and explain it in these terms. He’s simply amazing.
Interesting that this is being taught these days we learned this way back in the early 1980’s great to see it RE emerging. my now retired Sensei Jardine taught rai chi and Yuishinkai karate and this was always in the teaching techniques. Listen to your body.
It is like a mix of Karate and Systema (or Aiki), thank you.
High respect Sensei! Osu!
thoroughly enjoyable to watch him expend less energy to arrive at the same end
Fantastic as always...OSU
Im kyokushin and I would love to come to his seminar
I love this stuff. I practiced Kyokushin Karate for a short while and then Aikido. I felt like Aikido taught me things about karate that I was never told in karate class. It was like a light turned on. It's cool to see how arts that are so opposite can be so complimentary
I totally agree that a different perspective can help is to understand much better. Both karate and aikido are about kinetic energy. Karate mainly delivers energy to an opponent hence; "kiai" (where ki is the same as the Chinese "chi") and aikido mainly diverts the incoming energy of an attacker, hence "aiki" the word is reversed to represent the direction of the energy.
A lot of these concepts that sensei a Otto are talking about are concepts of Tai qi Chuan, not Tai chi, as usually understood in the West, but the chuan aspect of Taichi Chuan (fist).
This makes me think of Gojushiho in a sense. This kata has a lot that this video made me think of....

I wonder how they liked the baseball reference lol
Looks like he studies Tomiki Aikido but that's because I only know that style. LOL
The stance is nothing but a transitional state indeed. You can see boxers and baseball players in all kind of "Karate stances" when you put the video in slow motion.
The Japan Karate Association was formed in 1948. Funakoshi Gichin had not taught in twelve years, he retired in 1936. Funakoshi Yoshitake, the son of Gichin, had been teaching until he died in 1945. How was Gichin Funakoshi the JKA chief instructor? He was not. Masatoshi Nakayama had just returned from China, he had been there since 1936. He became chief instructor of the JKA because he had no job. He introduced tournaments at the admonition of the elder Funakoshi. Funakoshi Gichin hated tournaments, called them games, many of his followers left the JKA and criticized the JKA for abandoning karate. “Master Funakoshi left us the Shotokan style of karate but the curious thing is that no one in this style has taken correctly the transmission of his technique, truly no one. By the end of Master Funakoshi’s life his students had already changed his techniques. His karate has therefore been changed as if his own imprint had disappeared. All that remains is the name Shotokan and the names he gave the old kata. I can imagine the sadness he must have felt at the end of his life in realizing that the techniques which he tried to transmit for so long had been lost.” T. Nango. The JKA functions under the Budo umbrella, there is no external enemy, Japanese law forbids martial arts for combative use. The JKA has gutted karate and the result is a sport of karate like movements but the essence of karate is gone, bunkai is gone, kusho is gone as there is no need for it. “Competition is the superficial karate-ka’s lifeline. With competition as the aim and medals and trophies as the evidence of attainment, karate at last has a justifiable and tangible goal… there seems no escaping the fact that as soon as competition becomes the focus of training, it is only a matter of time before any real pretense of karate goes out of the window. What is left is a superficial imitation masquerading as the genuine article and yet capable of fooling a lot of people.” Dr. David Hooper, karate-ka, JKA practitioner. The JKA does not practice karate, it is a ruse, I was trained by them in Japan, I know. A US Marine.
These Aiki principles are existing inside all martial arts. In Aikido also we using the same movements and principles. Really love thig lecture and lesson. Domo arigato sensei !!!!
Wonderful! I love how he asks "Did you feel it?" instead of "Did you see it?".
What an amazing source of martial arts wisdom. Thank you so much Hotton Sensei!
What a wonderful martial artist and Sensei he is. Fantastic teaching, Hotton Sensei. Thank you.
You are a gem in the journey of having the wisdom to show and explain what hard/soft technique means, to be like water.
Respect to a Great Sensei, a very rare presence in today's world! OSS!
Now I know why your Shotokan is so similar to Wado Ryu, it's a pleasure to watch you move and I share your videos with students 🙏
I am not sure what you are talking about. There is no difference between Wado Ryu and Shotokan in the basic principles anyway.
@@sassuki I'm agre with you, Shotokan and Wado are really similar but, in my opinion in shotokan style the use of ko-waza techniques has been almost forgotten and moreover, for example, almost no practitioner is able to perform an ukemi-waza anymore. Sorry for my english 🙏
Highest form of Jiujitsu
over 40 years ago i practised Shotokai (the original 1930 Funakoshi Sotokan) karate (Murakami, Egami) and this is what they taught. Very nice and esoteric. Then i moved to Shorin and now I'm instructing Kyokushin which i find to be the most realistic of all. But i learned a lot from all of them and there is good in all of them for different reasons. For me it was Shotokai for its connection with your body through technique, Shorin for understanding hips movement and Katas, Kyokushin for mental strenght, body conditioning and realistic application in realistic scenarios.
Osss traducirlo a castellano por favor saludos desde Perú
Nobody in that room has a clue where he’s coming from…😬
Really amazing Karateka and what a remarkable pedagogue....
I wish I had a better karaté and to be in a class of Sensei Hotton. What a grand master 🥰
Sensei Hotton (fantastic karateka) has a great grasp of Aikido techniques.
Sensei has just discovered Wado Ryu...
You are an incredible Sensai You move so fluidly I love how you break down what you are feeling in mind body and spirit as so your students can experience it themselves not an easy thing to do
I miss the old Shorinji-ryu dojo, but damn if Rick Hotton doesn't make me want to practice just about any style again!
Interesting, I Like this. Thank's for sharing this.
Such a better explanation than most westerns can manage! My master also ins isted on us reading Lao tze to understand 'softness'!
Excellent instructor 🙏🏻🥋
muito bom,venha ao brasil.
Excellent
I am close to 60 now and I took kyokushinkai karate when I was young, the level of his teaching beats anything I ever came across. amazing stuff.
Yeah that guy has a pedagogy that is quite astonishing...
It's different with everyone some focuses on the kata others on striking or take downs there is always that unique person we learn from. The journey only starts at black when you mastered or know all the basics.
