I think he's explaining that the kick should be delivered at the same speed as a punch ;)

[jemzes]

no offence, dont take this the wrog way or personal. i cant see how u can get the full potential from the kick if u dont twist the base leg but would like to see ur method.

@jemzes maegeri its a strong kicking technique. the logic of his power came from the concept of suki (punch). the compression and the short impact timming can become in a KO If you do the maegeri with the correct technique and intension.

I have been fortunate enough to be graded by sensei Kawasoe he is amazingly fit before you grade he gives you a real training session one of the fittst men I have ever met but so apprroachable a rear Gentelman

I remember Kawasoe didn't like my interpretation of Heian Godan. So I skipped that grading and went back to the drawing board. Nailed it 3 months later. There were about 100 people on that course and he picked me out to show me where I was going wrong. I still love him for that.

Was the amazing leg technique a part of this video or was it deleted?

As I understood the lesson in this particualar clip.1. Do not go towards a coming hit with your body. 2.Use a kick. The movement comes from the hips only. Not from the kicking leg. (1:55 Just the hip, just the hip, not my leg) and then return right back in one smooth movement. So don´t go anywhere, just change your drirection.

I mean 'your' kick (maegeri) should be delivered at the same speed as one of 'your' punches..Cool, good luck! - I took my Nidan grading with him too way back in '95 - he was my chief instructor for many years in the European Shotokan Institute ;)  Peace.
