Soke Inoue Yoshimi - This is my Karate - Seminar Italy 2013
Soke Inoue Yoshimi (Rika Usami's legendary master) talks about some key points of his method of teaching Karate:
Sometimes a change of mindset is required to implement his Karate methodology. However, his approach can greatly benefit the competitors.
It is difficult to maintain muscle tension during the entire execution of a kata. By applying his principles, it becomes easy to relax the muscles and consequently improve the technical level.
Some parts of a kata require high concentration and muscle tension; other parts require muscle relaxation. According to Soke Inoue, it is impossible to maintain concentration (and muscle tension) for the entire duration of a kata. A good performer should be able to easily switch between these two states of concentration and relaxation.
Lastly, breathing is fundamental during the execution of a kata. The mouth should never be closed and air should flow freely through it during the performance.
