My Secret for Karate - FOCUS

Over the years, I've received many compliments concerning my power and focus in karate. One of the greatest compliments was made by a very close friend of mine, Ron Smith, 8th dan who is also a member of Juko Kai International. At my first JKI clinic when I tested for Godan in front of Dai Soke R. Sacharnoski, Ron later told me that all member of the Florida clinic stopped to watch my incredible power. In the following year, he emphasized to others that the building litterally shook from the power of my strikes and blocks. This kind of power can only be developed through the focus of ALL strikes, kicks, and blocks and constant practice with this kind of power and determination.

All students of Seiyo Shorin-Ryu Karate must keep this in mind - this is what Shorin-Ryu is about and Seiyo Shorin-Ryu in particular practices and emphasizes focus on every and all techniques to the point that one should develop extreme power in all KICKS, BLOCKS, STRIKES, THROWS, ETC. EVERY technique in every kata - needs focus, focus, focus. This is why this art has become one of the more powerful arts in the world, this is why our students learn to develop one-punch knockouts.

If there is one thing I can say to help your technique - it is "focus, focus, focus!"  Opps, guess that was three things.
