Choku Zuki (Straight Punch)
https://www.shotokankarateonline.com/blog/lesson-3-choku-zuki-the-karate-straight-punch/
Choku Zuki (Straight Punch)
The first punch practiced in Shotokan is choku zuki or straight punch from Heikō-dachi (parallel stance).
Starting from a natural stance (shizentai), feet hip width, toes facing forward with the left arm out and the right arm at the side of the body, ready to punch
1. Use the whole body to punch!!!
Many karateka will only use the arms when punching, but tremendous power can be generated when the whole body is utilised.
Start the right arm punch from the right leg!
Load the punching arm by slightly squeezing the right rib cage down. To begin with, you can exagerate this by also dropping the right shoulder slightly down. Obviously this dropping of the right side is not shown when punching properly.
2. Push through the right leg, then drive with the hip, next use the rib cage and shoulder then finally the arm. So the body throws the punch and not the arm!
3. Just before the right punch makes impact, the whole right side of the body is forward, pushing the punch at high speed towards the target.
4. Just as the punch makes impact, the right side of the body and hip, snaps sharply back, whilst the left hip snaps forward sharply. The arm continues to full extension and there should be a few inches natural recoil of the punching arm.
5. Breathing should be natural, silent and hidden. Breath out on the punch.

UNSU
unsu-kata-step-by-step-follow-along
https://www.shotokankarateonline.com/blog/unsu-kata-step-by-step-part-1/
Here Amos Sensei presents part 1 of our live class recording of Unsu.
Unsu (雲手,'cloud hands'), is regarded as a 3rd to 4th Dan advanced karate kata in many Shotokan Dojo. Unsu is very advanced containing many dificult turns, spins, hand techniques, kicks and an extremely difficult jump.
Unsu is a favourite competition kata and is recognised by all karateka because of the athletic jump and the ippon-nukite (one finger strike) in the opening sequence.
As with many karate kata, the history has a few versions, but many shotokan karateka believ Unsu was created by Seisho Arakaki. The original Unshu has changed significantly, as with all the Shotokan kata, Shotokan's Unsu has been 'stretched' and is more athletic and dynamic. Older Shotokan karateka should also study and practice the Shito Ryu version of this kata, Unshu.
Senior Shotokan Sensei understand that a full understanding of Shotokan fundementals is needed before practicing Unsu regularily. A karateka must have a strong grasp of the fundamentals to be able to understand fully the intricate karate moves within Unsu.
Unsu has soft flowing techniques, fast repetetive techniques, changes of direction which includes going to ground and the famous jump.

This is a black belt shotokan kata and we are going to cover moves 16, 17 and 18 of kata Chinte.
Chinte (珍手) (Unusual Hand)
Chinte has many circular movements, which many shotokan karateka have problems with with as most of the Shotokan kata moves are very linnear.
The kata Chinte, is a great kata to work one circular karate techniques, which are few and far between within Shotokan karate kata.
Many Shotokan Dojo have streamlined the circular movements within the kata Chinte and made them more direct.
The opposite is also true, where many Dojo exaggerate these circular karate movements, making them really big and flowing.

HOW O
how-often-should-you-practice-karate
https://www.shotokankarateonline.com/blog/how-often-should-you-practice-karate/
How often should you practice karate?
The exact question i get asked a lot, is ‘how often should i train?‘
The last person who asked me wanted to do everything correctly, but wanted the fastest way to black belt.
There are several variables involved as to when someone will reach black belt in karate.
Attitude being the main one!
Let me give you a classic example where attitude is concerned.
Lets say there are two karateka, equally matched.
They are both as fit as eachother, as flexible as eachother, same speed, same strength, height, weight, thoughts, etc.
You get the idea. They are two of the same person and on their way to black belt.
But we are going to change one variable, attitude!
karateka 2, we will give a really positive, strong attitude, the other (karateka 1) not so strong.
Because we having given one karateka a disadvantage, we will also give the other a disadvantage.
Karateka 1 can practice karate five times per

In this live karate class, Sensei Linden Huckle and Sensei Stuart Amos worked on the Shotokan kata Heian Yondan, which is the fourth kata of the five Heian kata. Heian yondan is the required kata when taking 5th Kyu purple belt.
Time was spent explaining the first two moves and how they should flow with the arms not stopping at the half way point on each side. The attitude on the first two moves should be that of zanshin and kamae, a state of being aware and ready.
