Sensei Rick Hotton is a lifelong martial artist and teacher, and the founder of Sunday Morning Keiko, a movement dedicated to rediscovering the depth, simplicity, and internal intelligence of martial arts.
In this episode of The Martial Way, we explore Rick’s journey from the karate scene of the 1970s to his current philosophy rooted in mindfulness, body intelligence, and humility. We dive into his influences (including his background in Aikido), the evolution of his teaching, and what it means to age gracefully while staying on the path.
This isn’t just a conversation about karate — it’s about awareness, intention, and finding meaning in motion.
