Actually wess329 it's brining ur foot out of a mud that is 12 inches deep

unfortunately i haven't been able to afford training these days. when finances allow i intend to return to the dojo though.

I was wondering about the open hand also, so I went back to view Master Tatsuo Shimabuku's video doing Naihanchi, he does the open hand. Are you back practicing?

[whess329]

At my dojo we sweep the foot off the ground as if your trying to kick sand at someone

wow! lots of comments!

sorry i haven't replied. i keep meaning to.

thanks for the positive comments and criticisms. i definitely need to brush up on this one and practice, as you say, 1000x!

i like all the isshinryu katas that i've learned so far. i haven't been able to train in a long time due to an injury.

doc gave me a shot a few days ago and it's feeling amazingly better.

*fingers crossed*

practice more, at least 1000x, concentrate on power plus breathing, find your center of gravity to improve balance...good luck

[L33tm4st3r]

smoother and slower. naihanchi is a very spiritual kata. keep up the good practice

[zankwack]

you need to watch master morans's naihanchi real karate street fighting it's the best out there

[elapidsvt]

the purpose of the public demonstration of the kata is not to show perfection, but to show knowledge attained. as the student progresses, the katas improve in timing and power.

thanks for looking!
