He later changed the name to <em>Hokatsu Tekkina<\/em>, Japanese for \u201ccomprehensive&#8221;, and also made a few amendments. This is my humble effort to perform the kata in its original form. I fluffed a few moves and couldn`t do it at full speed because I am too fackin old now \ud83d\ude0e but I doubt Stan would have kicked up a fuss over my rendition of what is, in my opinion, an enduring work of karate genius. A big oss and deep bow to him.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 360px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-183-1\" width=\"360\" height=\"240\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/colinsmithkarate.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Hokatsu-Tekkina.m4v?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/colinsmithkarate.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Hokatsu-Tekkina.m4v\">https:\/\/colinsmithkarate.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Hokatsu-Tekkina.m4v<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the early 1980s, my Shotokan karate sensei and mentor, the incomparable Stan Schmidt, devised a five-part, bilateral sequence of techniques that he initially called<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":12,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-183","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/colinsmithkarate.co.za\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/183","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/colinsmithkarate.co.za\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/colinsmithkarate.co.za\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/colinsmithkarate.co.za\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/colinsmithkarate.co.za\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=183"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/colinsmithkarate.co.za\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/183\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":273,"href":"https:\/\/colinsmithkarate.co.za\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/183\/revisions\/273"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/colinsmithkarate.co.za\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/12"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/colinsmithkarate.co.za\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=183"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
