In this episode of Truly Effective Kihon Training, Shihan Tatsuya Naka guides a large group of karateka at his 2025 Toronto seminar through advanced stance and body mechanics training. Naka Sensei breaks down the key principles behind zenkutsu-dachi and kiba-dachi, demonstrating how proper stance depth, hip alignment, and weight distribution lead to smoother and more powerful technique execution. Through close-up demonstrations and hands-on corrections, he shows how subtle adjustments in body mechanics can dramatically improve the naturalness and effectiveness of kihon movements. The class then puts these principles into practice, working through stepping punches (oi-zuki) and reverse punches (gyaku-zuki) with an emphasis on generating power from the ground up through the entire body. This episode is essential for anyone looking to build a stronger kihon foundation.
