This is Yoshimasa Matsuda. He is very well known on Okinawa. HE is my Sensai's Sensai. He is amazing and is a very nice man. I was recently at his 73rd birthday party.
Ooo, I don't practice Karate, but my eyes can see his body mechanics are really excellent. He has very little neck jerk in his movements, keeping his intent and senses connected even at the point of power... and he has excelent hip/pelvic/dantien and grounding power. Great mechanics. He's really good.
I'll ask some of my karate friends some of whom have beeing doing karate for a very long time. i think it has to do with rooting. similar to how the goju/uechi guys tilt their hips in sanchin. if you get into a medium width horse stance, bend your knees, feel the pressure on your legs and feet...not tilt your hip up like that and note the increased pressure.

Do you know of any relations to an earlier style called Soryu Karate? Michio Koyasu was under Kenken Toyama. Any idea of the roots?
