Yamaguchi Sensei Karate Fundamentals Seminar

8/7/2022September 10, 2022

Yamaguchi Sensei (7th Dan Shotokan JKS) offered several indoor and outdoor seminars during his visit as part of the JUKF Boston visiting team. He taught several Karate kihon fundamentals such as the use of the shoulder thrust and looseness to generate speed, the importance of hip connection in techniques, and compression-expansion of the back knee for generating power in Karate. We were very grateful to have someone who has spent decades studying Karate share knowledge he has gained on his journey, and we were impressed by his interest in helping students at all levels from advanced black belts to beginner students.
