Have you reread/watched something after many years and you understand it from a different point of view?
I'm not talking about disdain for our generation's quality of music compared to the golden age of rock n roll, but picking up a book or popping in a movie and noticing something you missed or hits you on a different level.

I rewatched Karate Kid with my sons the other week. I noticed a scene during Daniel's first training session with Mr. Miyagi. Mr. Miyagi gave him the bandana said that he promised to teach Daniel and see it through to the end.
That struck a chord with me because life changes not only for the student but for the teacher as well. My two previous Kyokushin sensei had events that discontinued the opportunity for further relationship and instruction. Taking on a leader role in the family and dojo I can now relate with the demands and responsibility and a promise to see it through to the end.

I am sure I have tons but watching some Enshin Videos recently that I watched say in 2008 when I started I saw tons of stuff I did not "see" that first time.
Once you understand the basics(shodan level I guess) only then can you see the various applications.

Just specific details like the footwork and hand positions for the throws/takedowns. Also simple combinations that work and/or counters for the same combinations.
I think when you start you are so eager that you can't "see" all the details right away.
I am noticing it with the Kettlebell work too. The more I do the C+P/Snatch/Swing the more I learn as I go.

Okay, you know how hikite can be used to pull your opponent towards you or off balance. What happens when you combine that pull with a turn of the body? We practice this quite often in ido geiko, say after a string of zenkutsu dachi gyaku tsuki. Are we just turning around, maybe to face a new opponent or turning around because we ran out of tatami? Maybe there's something else to that pull and turn.
Pay attention to the "hikite" and the turns especially around the 1'00 and 3'00 marks. Normally, I'd use a clip of a judo throw like tai otoshi but seeing as Joe and I are promoting Al's seminar in NYC this november. . .

Interesting Meguro. Also gives some perspective to the turning at the end of Kihon line drills and in kata. As simple as it is, given purpose it demands a little more attention to detail.
Thank you for that, Silat is interesting.

Since I mentioned tai otoshi in my previous post, I thought I'd include a clip on the throw. What I'd like to point out is how closely the applications in this video resemble zenkutsu dachi chudan morote uke and zenkutsu dachi gyaku tsuki.
