A few important points. Because of muscle memory, adaption to stylist differences will require an open mind and time to make the necessary adjustments. Of importance, it is not only...

I also have Higaonna Sensei's hojo undo video, along with that of Teruo Chinen Sensei. Both are excellent. But one thing which is very important to bear in mind. Hojo undo training...

I should have been clearer. To my knowledge, there is no equation between the number of panels and rank. The number of panels is likely due to the length in the manufacturing process and...
