Dedicated to the memory of Tetsuhiko Asai Sensei (10th Dan) the nucleus of this site is my personal focus on the Shotokan of the old JKA (Japan Karate Association) and the highly effective developments engineered by Asai Sensei. Following Sensei's example, this online resource will also include some of the innovations I've worked on as a Japan trained and internationally qualified instructor and examiner. Welcome, relax and please enjoy!

Kihon Hangeki Renshu video
Here is a brief video on kihon hangeki renshu (basic counterattack practice). This is used for introductory jiyu-kumite training for kyu grades and can obviously employ any techniques. No combinations here, just single kizami-zuki (jab punches) and single technique counters.
I'd like to thank Brendon Wells (SKIF shodan) who is in this video. Brendon has represented New Zealand in kumite at the SKIF (Shotokan Karatedo International Federation) World Championships in Tokyo.
