Correct or 'double' hip motion in Karate.

[actordaddy]

I am currently paying minute attention to correct hip motion in my Kata.
Each motion should begin in the opposite hip to the strike or kick and then transfer to the striking hip and finally return to neutral.
This produces twice the power and keeps balance even with very vigorous execution.
These subtleties might be easy to miss in a beginning home student with no previous Karate training.

Dear ActorDaddy:

Your last post was excellent point. As a white belt in Shotokan Karate this insight helps me while I train in addition to my training in weekly marial arts class sir. Continue with the helpful comments.

Thank You:

Yeah. I agree. I have been applying Tom Kurz scientific stretching principles with settling results. This has also assisted with hip motion
