Kata Principle: Enpi Jump

[diontoldme]

Wow! Thank you so much!

If the technique is practiced from a naturally derived kiba dachi and with a specific bunkai, it only needs practice and will never need this type of explanation. This guy is a good athlete, he lacks seasoning in true karate because it is obvious he practices as a sport with little insight regarding martial arts.

Very interesting points, here. thank you for sharing.I jump with both feet at the same time , making sure my head is straight , making sure I do not drop my chin. I get an avarage height and my landing is stable. I also picture my right knee moving up to my left elbo, (mind over matter, nice trick) This works for all jumps in Shotokan katas for me.

@cassavaeater look up Simon Williams from England, he has a great tutorial on the jump, he can be found on facebook too.

Thanks Dr. Clay, I'll use the practice to make my Kata class look ridiculous!
