He was very fast when he was in his thirties, I saw him in the early 60's when he was not so heavy ( he was still plump ) and he moved quite well. He looks like he had a thyroid condition in his later years, which causes that puffy look.
Hey there, thanks for posting all these Kase videos, I follow his syllabus and have missed any chance of training with him now, it's great to at least see him in action after the fact. However I felt I should correct you as he was awarded 9th Dan after his death, never quite made it to 10th.
@NakedHenry I was a student of Taiji Kase for twenty years. Your right in that he was not awarded 10th Dan but he died in 2004. He was awarded 9th Dan in 2001 by the Shihankai of Shotokan Ryu Kase Ha. I know, I was there in Paris when his certificate was awarded. True to the man he said thank you and then said "right, let's do karate!"....
@sroedner Other than the possibly increased tempo, this looks like the standard Nakayama-Kanazawa version of the kata. What are the non-standard elements?
gledajući današnje hibridne karateke kako izvode kate dođe mi da plačem, a još mi je gore kad vidim šta se sve danas zove karate. Svi treba ovo da vide i da uče. Taiji Kase je karate mag!
Ne lepo nego fenomenalno, ne treba komentar u pravu si Skullbasterd.
I mene cudi da nema mnogo komentara ali izgleda da ljudi slabo prepoznaju kvalitet. Vecina gleda gimnastiku karatea, sustina je i namenjena da se tesko prepozna i nemogu je svi ni prepoznati...samo retki....
Ovo je najbolje izvedena Ćinte koju sam ikada video. Nema poziranja, pretvaranja, ulagivanja gledaocu, samo čist karate. Protivnici, iako ih nema, vide se, a vidi se i kako padaju oko sensei Kazea. Ovo je čisto savršenstvo.
sinceramente no me gusto!!..lo siento sensei, pero e visto mejores katas..

He could really move well for a heavy guy. He was one of the best of his day.

What a difference between Ohta sensei and Kase sensei. Anybody learned it as fast as him? OSU

This is Kase Sensei's (10th Dan) personal (= non-standard) interpretation of this kata!

I don't know if it's the video or if he's doing this kata hella-fast, but if it's not the video, he's doing some of the slow parts way to fast!

Možda ovaj video i ne treba komentar. Ipak čudi me da još niko nije ništa rekao. Kaze je ljude jednostavno ostavio bez teksta.
