Bassai Sho - Shotokan Karate

[BoltonShotokanKarate]

This one is easy just the end moves are hard.

[kurdioo]

damn, and I keep thinking that Bassai Dai was hard, this makes Bassai Dai look like Taikyoku Shodan =_=

[Carl2]

ok i got a beef....the ending with the leg sweeps, why did they modifiy it this days instead of just keeping things one way....dont that take away from the "tradition" part of it all besides the euqitte

[deek77]

I've noticed that this is one of, if not the first shotkan kata that uses neko ashi dachi. Interesting how in Okinawan styles this is a fundamental stance, yet in Shotokan it's treated as advanced.

[Sheik06]

Is bassai sho the only kata with ashi barai (leg sweep)?

[jonkingjk]

There are leg sweeps in Tekki Shodan !!!!

[Sheik06]

Those are not leg sweeps. They are some kind of blocks or evations for leg attacks.

[mkortz13]

@Sheik06 We were shown the last move as being a  trip/throw using your ankle as the pivot point.

[mkortz13]

@jonkingjk Really? Those movements blocked low level kicks in our bunkai. No worries, each dojo is a little different.

[N3WA93]

well done! :D

[Mm09xx]

i do this kata in my karate but not as good as him lmao x

[deek77]

Don't feel too bad about not being as good as him, very few people are. But you can be good in your own right. Focus on being the best you can be, and things will be fine. Osu!

eu teria vergonha de apresentar um kata desse

[matavellirafa]

teria vergonha de apresentar esse kata por que?

[7lalie]

[rgvshotokan]

ya we are a shotokan school but we learrned it shoto ryu i think this is so much different

[planbxsk8]

wow this bassai so is way different from of what my school teaches

[acerwk]

No good!

[alienbooga]

get a life u stupid dickhead

[acerwk]

get lost stupid

[sober2blur]

And he can PWN an MMA fighter if a touch.

[Shadymeister]

I think this is brilliant, notice the cross on the floor, All practitioner should aim for to do any kata starting and finishing at the same spot. I think Sensei executes the move well for any learner or advanced student to comprehend.

[sedse01]

boring, lame and he stands like a beginner

[Vooba]

Your talking about a tenth degree black belt. Hes so good your too stupid to understand.

[AlphMarco]

give us your video, and we will rate it...his stand is not like 20-30 years ago when he was young and everything, but it's still better than lot of black belts and colored belts that I met...his technique is pure, he misses the spot of standing,ok...but no1 is perfect,the katas should start and end on the same place, but it depends, you can't jump 2 times the same way...so , that's ok to miss, in stronger kata's, but in the first 5 it's not allowed,this is for 4. dan, master grade, so it's ok.

[alienbooga]

its like that for all kata idiot ==' like you know karate if u do then u must still be a white belt

[acerwk]

go waste your time with this shit

[tc2042]

am a green belt i know all the heians and basai dai and half of kanku dai

[alienbooga]

wasnt talking to u

[jonkingjk]

Knowing a pattern is one thing, understanding the mening is another matter. Concentrate on the \heian and Tekki katas for now

[mshina1]

he is like a guru the ultimate martial artist

[Reizo12]

Actually that would be Gichin Funakoshi the founder of this Art of War.

[shamus40]

brilliant

[shotokankataman]

Yes, this kata is from Shotokan Karate. Other styles often have essentially the same kata with slight modifications and sometimes a different name.

[syn2smart]

Is the Bassai Sho karate? In Tang Soo Do I learned that, but a little differntly.
