All traditional karateka know that creating a wave by one's hips rotation is one of the most basic and important points in karate. Karateka should produce a motion similar to a whip by sending his hips (later we will speak about the limbs too) as fast and as far as possible around the imaginary axis (spine). The farther and the faster hips rotate the faster they will come back to the initial position creating the wave towards the point of impact. This motion is called "mutimi" (Okinawan) or "kosi-no-kaiten". It is a power source for any karate technique (I guess).
"The goal of mutimi is to generate a wave of impulse from hips to the attacking limb" (K.Terekhin "The Karate We've Lost").
I am trying to demonstrate my kosi-no-kaiten and looking for its correction. Please share your points. Thank you. Ossu!
