@MultiZON123 - If you get a chance, train with the man. Very good technician & very good teacher. Despite not being great with English, his speciality is the mime of what he saw people do & he's damn good at it. Next he offers the solution to your problem with how to fix.
YouTube has been my secret weapon since I discovered as a white belt that I don't get enough "ice time" to learn my katas in class alone. Although you must always seek out details from your sensei, you can see variability from body forms, styles and slight modifications by watching different karate'ka on YouTube.
Kanazawa videos from the 70s are my personal favorites. Osu!
@HerbicidalManiac you are stupid. I teach karate and you would be my least favorite student. I have made people like you quit before, and I hope that is what your sensei does to you.
@valdezmiguel2 HAHAHA! That comment is 2 years old! If your karate timing is as good as your YouTube timing, then you have just confirmed your karate is about as "bright" as the rest of you. Chump. No "Ossu" for you!
i think you don't even know what style of karate you practice ... it's different even from shotokan to shotokan much more from goju'ryu, wado-ryu, kyokushinkay! I have been practicing modern shotokan for 4-5 months now. I have been doing this kata since i first stepped foot in that dojo and i can say THIS GUY IS AWESOME! Watch Kanazawa too..awesome..So kid go tell your sensei what you wrote here and ask him politely to KICK YOU in the nuts! HARD!
it may be a minor detail but it doesnt have anything to do with how 'some people write it'. there are of course official systems to transcribe the japanese 'spelling' to latin-alphabet-based languages.
it sure aint important considering the philosophy of budo but why make mistakes when one can avoid them?
and as a japanologist i just always have to be a wise-ass... xD
Thankyou! I have a couple more gradings before I am required to know this kata but I like to be well prepared and to know where I'm going. This video has helped me get the pattern and your technique looks just like my sensei's. Like Outkast said, "I like the way you move"!
Suck diminishes with training. Keep training with a traditional teacher with a known link to true karate, don't worry about rank, focus on bunkai especially against weapons, ignore your ego and do not do sports kumite. You will be fine and do well with time.
The belief is that they were developed by fishermen who were karate-ka and they practiced along the line of the keel of the boat. They are used in the Shotokan ryu to train kiba dachi, core strength and upper body technique. May I congratulate you on your honest and positive comment. Criticism that has no experience base is so boring.
Allways train every kata you have learned. Kata is nor about gradings but about training. Many students forget their katas and move on to the "next"....
Agreed. Sensei keeps going back to the Heian katas. Last week, Nidan was dissected to an exacting degree. I've seen so many black belts who have seem to have forgotten how to do the Heian katas properly...
japanese doing karate forget about style they are really strong as style is a way of training not the art it self, that's way we can find diferent semsey in same style doing diferent ways.
i think he performed perfectly as well, but how come his "stances" are rather short? we learned to go really down when doing kiba-dachi :/ and to "lenghten" the whole stance..
actually the okinawan style is usually with higher stances than the main japanese or other styles... cause they needed the power and flexibility of the hips and hara and so the stances should be higher as well..
The power, the speed, precision... Truly make this Sensei world renowned. A joy to watch. Ossu :-)

Those Tekki katas are really funny. step to the left, step to the right, step to the left and so on.
I think this guy performs it almost perfect. Though his kiai sounds a bit strange...well, I actually can't jugde him.
