Here's a picture of Sensei Hal Clarendon twisting his koshi around very tightly before letting go with a powerful technique.
Sensei Hal loves Fukyugata Ichi and spent considerable time at the April special training working with us on this kata and his interpretations of koshi motion within it.

Hi from omaha: It has been a year since I left florida, and memories of our last training at your dojo are among the best I have in thirty years of training with Sensei Harless and Sensei Janos. I have been fortunate to find them long ago, and a few good students here, trying to build a club at the university of nebraska. We have trained in snow, cold, mostly outdoors. Still, our karate is a lifetime of joy. I never do a kata that I do not think of Steve, Paris, Bill, Chris, and George; since all the memories come alive through the kata. I only wish I could come back to train, see you all again. I am just grateful for the time we spent together, especially our last training, when many students from long ago appeared. I am also grateful to be part of a tradition that goes back a long long way. And I am as happy as a clam doing mostly first kata again. As Shinzato sensei once said, "It is all same thing!" Hal Clarendon
