karate kata PIN ANN the one

[hellothereitsjustme]

I don't understand why people can't just respect other's experience and style. Every style is different and even within each style the movements and kata can vary hugely depending on the lineage.  We all try our best to perfect the art we love. Can we not have more honour and respect instead of trying to outdo each other? Everybody is learning and there are pros and cons to every martial art, style and dojo. Peace. Great video.

[karatekid68]

I know this master is great for his life in martial art and for his training, but like many others masters, he does basic karate, in this bunkai, the hikite do nothing, in first move in Pinann 1, the ''age uke'' above the head do nothing, why he rises his arm if he does nothing?? you understand? very basic, and unfortunately, the japanese do almost always that as bunkai

[daverokudan]

Very clever principles and very effective...shinzato's karate is so full of life and energy and he has developed a truly defensive art form. Have experienced this first hand in his dojo and he is simply incredible...

[malabarwarriors]

Even though i cant understand japanese the kata that the sensei does is just plain awesome!!!!!!!

[gianttrials]

lol, for a 7th dan his belt is very black and new lookin?!?!?!

[senseichief]

Very badly. A shame!

[mazdaplz]

pay no mind to the troll named: wannabeebee;

he wants to make believe he knows martial arts but it's all bullshit. he's a troll that has plagued many many videos i can prove this, mark him as spam or thumb him down

[astralkarate]

would any1 let me no what style of karate this is??

[hankprohm]

This is called the Kishaba Juku of Matsubayashi-Shorin-ryu. They do the Matsubayashi-ryu kata of Nagamine Shosin but have extensively reworked the way they develop power.

[hellothereitsjustme]

@astralkarate It's Shorin-Ryu...

[wannabeebee]

You know what.

I dont believe one single word you are saying.

Post a video Mr super star.

Lets see how good you are after your 15 years of training.

Otherwise crawl back in to your hole.

[wannabeebee]

Wheres your video you f#ckin waster?

[dpapaioannow]

[wannabeebee]

I wouldnt allow a low life like you to wipe my sh#t so yet again you are wrong.

Either put up your video or f#ck off.

Just so you know numb nuts if you and the guy teaching in the video would ever get it on with a full no holds sparr.

He could if he wanted to break every bone in your stupid feeble body.

You are one stupid mother. You dont know jack sh#t.

[dpapaioannow]

yeah ok whatever man..now go play with your barbie dolls...hush hush now little fairy...ROFL

[SakuraGoetsuke]

My sensei's sensei taught her to begin the first few blocks by crossing our arms in front so our hands aren't whipping out of no where. its also closer to typical fighting stance than your hands just at your side. so that's how I learned it.

[XBoSnIaNxX]

:18-:19 was taht a fart???

[NYCBeatnik]

The Prof is yet another teacher who understands body dynamics and how to get the most with the least - the technical essence of our art.

[neostardust]

Wigle-wigle-wigle

[PhZion3334]

Figured I'd post here. I study in this style that "that bald guy" uses. My sensei has had the priviledge of training with Shinzato Sensei in Okinawa. (The sensei in the video.)

His student wasn't the focus, the Sensei was though. He is explaining the very essense of what our Kata are about. Grace, strength and speed. There are similarities between Shotokan and Shorin Ryu, that is simply because Shotokan was developed from Shorin Ryu.

[opticannon]

although, there is an element of its roots present that is\as demonstrated in chinese kung fu. silk reeling motion is important for remaining fluid whilst drawing the ki\chi from the ground ( i can hear how he pivots and its magnificient ) and through breath and hips. wouldnt you agree? in fact this is the best representation of chinese kung fu that i have ever seen lol.

[Koryuhoka]

SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHO THIS GREAT, TRUE KARATEKA IS!!! WHAT IS HIS LINEAGE AND HIS ORGANIZATION???

This reminds me of Shinjinbukan! Marvelous!

[ShorinWaza]

his name is Katsuhiko Shinzato Sensei...

[beibpxo]

what a beautiful moves of karate

what karate is this? could someone tell me plz?

[ShorinWaza]

in karate if you did'nt learn koshi you learned nothing but garbage, sorry to say that but that is the cold hard truth..

[hobomagie]

i do ishinru karate and in a 2nd degre blue belt and other great kata are wansu sesoun nuhunchi seiuchin and Qwanchin that on is a bow aka staff kata

[CassyCorp]

Wow... that was a terrible display of Pin Ann...

[ShorinWaza]

to someone that don't understand the discipline and the reason behind why his doing all that exagerated hip moves you can say that, that is a terrible display of technique. I understand were you're coming from i was once like you...but believe me for you to state that comment i can tell you that, that guy on the video is years and years way ahead of you...

[Koryuhoka]

Actually, that was a proper execution of kata. It's not what you are used to because of the "do" mindset. This is "jutsu".

[CassyCorp]

I practice Karate-Do... which is prolly the reason I saw it wrong...

[christwarrior56]

cool

[killersdww]

realy i'v leaned a lot of kata even if y quit for about 4 years but realy my sensei never used koshi the mous important thing is to know the kata perfectly and univac is right

[RKGOLF]

it goes without saying that you should know your kata perfectly. however, its also basic knowledge that all your power for your punches and your kicks comes from your koshi.

[wannabeebee]

Agreed. Also if you look at the guys hands they are maki wari conditioned.

Add that to his method of power generation and the forward momentum of the opponent he would be one powerfull guy.

[singhakabuttar]

wtf r u going on about, just read what youve written and explain yourself you muppet.

[porntime123]

omg i see ur sensei and he alway moving he ass Lmao

[univac500]

Here's how it works in Okinawa most of the time: First, learn 'koshi' - that circular, explosive, inner power. Then, perfect form of kata.

Here's how it works in the Americas most of the time: First, perfect form of kata. Then NEVER learn koshi.

[perspolisforever]

good one

[RKGOLF]

that's aboslutely right.

[Pecherin72]

I used to do Shitoryu (shuri-te) and this kata before switching to Goju-ryu (naha-te) 15 years ago, and I was never happy with the way Shitoryu was taught to me. I thought it was too stiff. This snapping of the hips is actually quite good because it demonstrates the special features of Shuri-te karate which is whip-like striking and blocking movements.

[perspolisforever]

hip movement should happen naturally, the young karate-ka's kata shows the problem with exagerating the hip movement, but the sensei is great,i watched his foot work and his pre-loading action several times.

[Odacon]

I'm not a fan of those hip movements at all, what is their purpose?

[kempobrad]

power, speed, and snap. they become smaller and less noticable as you progress. it's one of those things that needs to be both taught, and felt to be appreciated.

[malasangre]

I don't get why the fight! I don't speak Japanese, so I can not judge the hip movements of the young lad: I thought that the "exaggerated" hip movements were intended as demonstration, so people understand concepts easily. If any of you speak Japanese, am I wrong? (Gee, I have to start studying nihongo :-)

[emotionumist]

I think this Okinawan sensei highlights some good elements worth emphasizing, such as simultaneous execution of techniques to really convey what the kata is trying to teach. However, I think there is a lot more to be learned in the opening move for this kata than what they have shown in this video.

[Yasaguri]

The style is Kishaba Juku, the gentleman is Shinzato Katsuhiki Sensei. Google him and learn something. If you can be that fluid and have anywhere near HIS level of knowledge at his age, then you can comment. Funny how the negative comments come from people under the age of 25....

[kamikaiguy]

I looked ath several Kishiba Juku sites. There are so many problems with the hip motion that I am not sure where to start. Shigiru Egami experimented with a similar type of hi rotation and later abandoned it because of ineffectiveness

[Yasaguri]

Shotokan guy, free your mind and the rest will follow- it works for the Okinawans, so do not knock it until you try it. Learn something of your roots before you criticize, please. Jee-zus!

[Yasaguri]

By the way, his name was Shigeru Egami- it helps to be able to cite sources properly. :(

[kamikaiguy]

Mr. Yasaguri. What are your qualifications? As for spelling. Oh Well!!! I have without sounding like an like I am quoting my resume, 30 years in the Martial Arts I have studied Shotokan in the past. I have also studied Shorin-Ryu, Goju-Ryu, Pangai Noon, and several systems of jujitsu. First of all if you know anything about hip rotation. The rotation doesn't generate much power. It is the rear foot pushing against the floor that is a by product of the rotation. .

[Yasaguri]

Spoken like a true Shotokan guy... my qualifications, you ask? Which means you never bothered to review "my" resume. We have equal time on the floor. I have also studied Goju (Meibukan) as well as Motobu Ryu, Motobu Udun ti, Okinawan kobudo, Aikikai Aikido and (though I think little of it) WTF TKD. I am not easily impressed by North American 'experts'. Cite a published article, maybe I will be.

[kamikaiguy]

After I read your last post, I went and read your profile. I see now that you are one of those elitists that believes what they do is the best. And everyone else is wrong.  I should not even waste my time with you. This will be my last post. First I no longer study Shotokan and do not practice anything Shotokan. My Published Article of the American Sports Medicine Journal July, 2001. Title is Train proper body dynamics for Martial Arts.

[Yasaguri]

No, I am not an elitist. I am a purist- there is a difference. There is a saying in Japanese: koshi o ireru; I guess the J have had it wrong in oh-so many activities for so long. You would appear to be one of those gaijin for whom a little knowledge is dangerous.

[kamikaiguy]

The specific sub heading in the article would be hip rotation or planting the foot. It also talks about the injuries that can occur from doing exactly what you Kishiba Juku guy there is doing.

[Yasaguri]

It will be a pleasure not talking with you... :)

[kamikaiguy]

Oh Yeah one other thing. The Bunkai is completly amature that they sort of showed there. And distancing the Bald guy steps in to the punch and it is still too far away to hit him.

[Yasaguri]

You obviously do not speak nihongo, so the demonstration is lost on you. Bunkai or explanation of technique does not have to be demonstrated at point range to make your ideas clear. Learn to spell, and I will take you seriously. Your lack of accuracy in one simple area (for one who has a PhD and an MD is concerning for the quality of education down south; I wonder if you take your karate as seriously- perfection in all areas of life.

[kamikaiguy]

Oh did I forget to mention that I am a PhD, an actual MD. Oh I am a specialist in sports medicine and I have several papers published about body mechanics in relation to Martial Arts

[Yasaguri]

Good for you. I hope if you quoted any of Egami's "research" that you at least had the presence of mind to spell his name correctly.

I am sure I should be impressed, but... I fail to be.

[yankee19050]

"I am a PhD, an actual MD"....? hmmm....

[aiko4321]

This young guy s kata is not good for sure.. His hip movement is in proper. But, the Sensei is very good. I agree with yasaguri, this is Kishbajuku.. About Egami.. I have watched some clips of Egami, and it really made me vommit. Sorry, I dnt like to crisitize any senior teacher. I had a good image on Egami before I saw any of his videos or about Shotokai.. :)

[Yasaguri]

ha, so desu! :)

The young guy, not sure if it is a physical thing or just nerves about being in front of a camera. Foot is arched too high in neko, focus is off as he advances with shuto uke, just not kosher.

However, I will not write him off entirely. He IS young and still salvageable. :)

[aiko4321]

Dear Yasaguri, What I think is certain ppl have difficulties in this rotational movement of hip. I have stud, same like him. Their body different. I think same prob with this young boy. But, when it is clear he has prob, I dnt knw why this sensei put him to video.. Better if he put another one. We practice Kyudokan, and hv similar rotational hip movement, but nt the same. Go and see my videos.. Even they may not b very well performed, haha :)

[nateman12345]

im glad to see im not the only that thought it was weird.

[chemolina]

This guy has no power. His uses his hips but incorrectly. His whole body girates instead locking the hip at the end of the movement and his stances are sloppy. Ugly kata.

[Nhia89]

all hip motion. Power comes from the earth then through your hips they accelarate the power through your hands and release the power onto your enemy

[albanloucher]

this stile is interesting.

[kirvin2]

His hip movement is extremely exagerated.

[jdeklaas]

this young guy moves like he's gay. it's exagerate.

[jessevoidable]

hahaha i thought no one else noticed. he exaggerated his hip movements; they look rather comical.

[shot87]

it's not just his hip...his shoulders too:P lol

[hirruken]

this is a freakin cooling looking kata. I learnt Pinan-sandan during a black belt training/grading camp, but I havn't seen a Pinan kata done so nicely. Flow throughout the body, really enjoyed watching this.

Is there a Pinan-sandan video also availible?

[garridoe]

Interesting version of my Tang Soo Do Pyung ahn edan

[nijuken]

well this is the original Pinan Shodan, maybe your TSD form is a intersting version of this one.

[Macdu]

that was nice
