In this episode of Great Karate Myths, we tackle the controversial concept of Kime (decisive focus). Is it the secret to a one-hit kill, or an overemphasised aesthetic that actually slows you down? 🥋🚫

We explore:

  • The definitions by Masatoshi Nakayama
  • Why professional boxers don't use the "snap"
  • The theory that Kime comes from Chinese Opera choreography
  • How Kime distorts antique weapons forms

Join us as we determine if you should be pumping the brakes or hitting through the target! 🥊
