Lower Stances & More Speed

Strive to add more speed to the blocks and strikes.
More speed equates to more power and effectiveness.

Execute the low stances lower, a common shortcoming is to be too high in the low stances.

Just reminders on how to make great karate greater and to "preserve the traditional legacy "given to us here in the USA by Hanshi Ansei Ueshiro.

Keep training.
Arigato,
Kyoshi.
