Onegai-shimasu Hanshi, Kyoshi, Sensei and Fellow Deshi,
Keep the fist moving toward the target
We
must step first, then punch. However, in order to
achieve maximum power
once we have drilled in that dynamic we need to not
have a lengthy pause
between stepping and punching. Instead of having a
lengthy pause after stepping,
the punch is instantly triggered upon establishing
foundation. Hanshi has described this
using the phrase keep the fist moving toward
the target.
Domo arigato gozaimasu Hanshi.
Domo arigato gozaimasu to all.
