MIKE CLAPHAM
Comecei meu treinamento no karatê em 1973, aos 16 anos. O dojo ficava no porão de um hotel com vista para a água de Southampton. O estilo era Kyushindo, meu professor era um cavalheiro chamado Ray Wood.
Após 4 anos de treinamento, fui classificado para faixa preta sob o olhar atento do instrutor-chefe de Kyushindo, um francês chamado George Mayo (ao contrário da maioria dos sistemas, você foi classificado como faixa preta primeiro e depois shodan) alguns anos depois, eu estava classificado para shodan. Em 1982, enquanto trabalhava como operador na Usina Elétrica de Fawley, abri um dojo em sua sala de conferências, que contou com a presença de alguns de meus colegas e seus amigos e familiares.
Em 1983 fui classificado para Nidan. Após nove anos, o despedimento e a mudança de carreira forçaram uma pausa na minha formação.
Em 2004 fui apresentado pelo meu bom amigo Richard Cozens a Kyoshi David Passmore que recentemente começou a ensinar Budokan em um pequeno dojo em New Forest.
Sou aluno do Sensei David Passmore desde então e recentemente tive o privilégio de receber o posto de Godan e o título de Shihan.
Durante esse tempo, tive a sorte de participar de três seminários de fim de semana na Buxton University e um em Ardingly, onde pude participar de aulas como Jujitsu, Aikido, Kobudo, Judô, Jodô e Kendo, para citar apenas alguns, ministrados por professores de alto escalão, principalmente o falecido Fuji Sensei Kendo Master.
Recentemente me tornei um líder de dojo em um dos clubes satélites do Sensei, onde me esforço para manter os altos padrões incutidos em mim pelo meu Sensei e os altos padrões que o Budokan representa. É meu objetivo tentar ajudar os alunos que eu treino a serem o melhor que podem ser, enquanto o tempo todo tento melhorar continuamente. Sempre o aluno!

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.
