Ashihara Kaikan Sabaki Technique Vol 3 DVD by Toru Nishiyama

The Ideal Striking Techniques According to Sensei Nishiyama

Nishiyama Dojo, renowned for its numerous achievements in full-contact karate and other disciplines, reveals the secrets behind the ideal striking techniques of Ashihara Karate. Sensei Nishiyama emphasizes the importance of minimal motion and speed in striking. Any unnecessary preparatory movements or large motions can easily telegraph your intentions to your opponent, leaving you vulnerable to counters. By maintaining relaxed power and smooth weight transitions, practitioners can execute strikes without telegraphing their moves, a principle that has underpinned the dojo's success.
