I placed 3rd with the kata, and 1st in sparring! It was excellent. I'm going to my 3rd with this group next month.

If he's Shorin Ryu, we don't use hips to generate power. Just an FYI. If I was testing him for a dan rank and he used hips, he'd fail.

Even while just practicing said Kata, the Kata needs to come alive, and not having the mundaneness of just going through its actions. Returning its liveliness as well as its hip engagement will make the world of difference in said Kata. Run throughs that lack its hips and liveliness are fine for a run through, but after that, it's time then to brush off all of its cobwebs and execute said Kata as though one's life depended on it.

AGREED! You'll do what you practice. It's ok to take it slow and easy while you're getting comfortable with the movements, but once you have them, I, as your sensei, expect to see the speed and power that's supposed to be there.

What's the reasoning behind this, if you don't mind me asking. I generate power in my techniques using my hips, so that's why I'm curious.

I am Shorin Ryu and, at least in my style, we do use hips to generate power. What branch of Shorin Ryu do you practice?

Using your hips in punches and kicks does generate more power, but it also throws your weight off balance or can leave you exposed if you miss. We generate out power in Shorin Ryu Matsumura Seito (we call it Kenpo now) with speed and technique. Balance is stable, and if you miss you're still stable. Tomato-tomatoe
