MIKE CLAPHAM
Comencé mi entrenamiento en kárate en 1973 a los 16 años. El dojo estaba en el sótano de un hotel con vista al agua de Southampton. El estilo era Kyushindo, mi maestro era un caballero llamado Ray Wood.
Después de 4 años de entrenamiento, fui clasificado como cinturón negro bajo la atenta mirada del instructor jefe de Kyushindo, un francés llamado George Mayo (a diferencia de la mayoría de los sistemas, primero fuiste clasificado como cinturón negro y luego shodan) un par de años más tarde fui clasificado a shodan. En 1982, mientras trabajaba como operador en la central eléctrica de Fawley, abrí un dojo en su sala de conferencias al que asistieron algunos de mis colegas y sus amigos y familiares.
En 1983 fui clasificado a Nidan. Después de nueve años, la redundancia y un cambio de carrera forzaron una pausa en mi formación.
En 2004, mi buen amigo Richard Cozens me presentó a Kyoshi David Passmore, quien recientemente había comenzado a enseñar Budokan en un pequeño dojo en New Forest.
He sido alumno de Sensei David Passmore desde entonces y recientemente tuve el privilegio de recibir el rango de Godan y el título de Shihan.
Durante este tiempo, he tenido la suerte de asistir a tres seminarios de fin de semana en la Universidad de Buxton y uno en Ardingly, donde pude participar en clases como Jujitsu, Aikido, Kobudo, Judo, Jodo y Kendo, por nombrar solo algunas, impartidas por maestros de alto rango, en particular el difunto Fuji Sensei Kendo Master.
Recientemente me convertí en líder de dojo en uno de los clubes satélite de Sensei, donde me esfuerzo por mantener los altos estándares que me inculcó mi Sensei y los altos estándares que representa Budokan. Mi objetivo es tratar de ayudar a los estudiantes que entreno a ser lo mejor que pueden ser, mientras trato de mejorar continuamente. Siempre el estudiante!

6 RULES FOR OIZUKI CHUDAN FROM SHIZEN DACHI HEIKO
Mike Clapham
5 Dan Karate
The Stance - Dachi
Stand with you feet together.
Keeping heels together open both feet out to 45º
Move both heels out square.
Open both feet out again to 45º
This is the Shizen Dachi Heiko stance.
Starting from the waist down.
First slightly splay the knees to put tension in the upper and lower leg muscles and to push the outer edges of your feet - the sokuto - into the floor using your ankles and also grip the floor with your toes.
This gives your punch a strong base to support it.
A strong punch without a good base will be ineffective.
The Fist - Seiken
You begin to do this by curling your fingers into your palm.
Start with your little finger first and then finally by wrapping your thumb across the index and middle fingers tightly because when you strike you want to be able hit with the first two knuckles of these fingers.
It is the little finger and the thumb that construct an ideal rock like fist that does not collapse upon impact.
(If your wrist is bent slightly upward or downward this will result in a weak punch and on contact, possible damage to your wrist)
The Posture - Shisei
Stand upright with your shoulders relaxed, bring your arms into the ready position at your side so the fists are facing palms up and level with your solar plexus and your arms are tight to the side of your body.
To prepare yourself extend your left arm out straight in front of you as if you've just punched.
Your palm should be facing downward horizontally aligned with your solar plexus and vertically with the midline of your body - your spine.
The Punch - Zuki
This is the form that you want to replicate with every punch you make.
In this position your first punch will be using the right arm positioned against your ribs in line with the solar plexus.
Sightly flick your right hip in an anti-clockwise direction which is the trigger that initiates the punch.
Immediately the hips move the punch follows extending your right arm in relaxed reflex action towards the outstretched left fist.
The palm remains facing upward for most of its projection.
As the punch is in its last 12 to 15cms you start to rotate it through 180 degrees to replace your left first which you now need to be pulling back very quickly so that both fists come to a stop at exactly the same time.
The fast pulling back of the left first gives added impetus and power to the punching right fist.
Breathing - Kokyu
Correct breathing is vital to a strong attack and to its intention.
Take a short breath into your lower abdomen before the punch and then expel the air so that your out breath and punch both stop at the same time. In the final second as your punch hits its target there should be tension from your toes up followed by immediate relaxation of the muscles whilst keeping the form of the movement.
Keep your mind focussed here and get ready for the next punch.
Common mistakes to be avoided:
Make sure you don't rotate your fist too early.
Make sure that the punch moves in a straight line from its start position to its finish position. This is done by making sure that as the arm is moving through its direction of travel it stays in contact and is not allowed to float away from your body distorting its aim.
