nice naihanchi!

Cool moment between a sensei and student desiring to be better. Thanks for posting.

Nice! I did the 3 naihanchis for my Shodan test, but we did them more Tekki than this. I like the Shotokan way better but this guys upper body is fast.

Toma Sensei was a senior student of late Yuchoku Higa Sensei and a senior member of Shorin Ryu Kyudokan. He separated from Kyudokan and formed his own association few years back.

@aiko4321 Thank you for that!

Mm, coming from Shotokan, this is extremely weird for me! Not that I can't see what the benefits of practising it would be though :P

He likes to move his butt doesn't he?

[madgecic]

a tekki shodan with no kiba dachi lol

[babydru]

@madgecic That's what Naihanchi is :S There's more to karate than Shotokan.

[madgecic]

@babydru yes i know there's more to karate than shotokan. i was just making a simple observation.

[asd748wsx]

@madgecic actually it's the other way round. tekki is naihanchi in kiba dachi :)

[Yamtendo]

@madgecic and fewer Namiashis I think? His speed is great though!

Thank you. I'm missing the following some seconds, though. They would be especially interesting..

[KARATEbyJesse]

@defaultpseudonym Yup, there was much more, but... since it was somebody's private lesson I let it stay between master and student. ;)

[defaultpseudonym]

@KARATEbyJesse Just fair. And still this is very inspiring. I'm seeing no real difference to Shôtôkan Tekki ..can't stop watching this over and over again. Thank you.

@KARATEbyJesse So much for the hidden cameras and using the CIA's spy satellites to see more! :(
