Isshinryu is not as hard on the joints as other styles,so its not unusual to see a lot of older Isshinryu Practitioners still in practice as they were in their youth. From first hand experience the emphasis placed on natural positioning,natural movements,hard-line conditioning,natural breathing and combat effectiveness,make Isshinryu a great no flash or frills style for older practitioners and young practitioners alike, so if you are over 50 and you dont like Tai Chi Isshinryu might be it.
The most amazing thing about Karate is that some of these masters are well into their 60's and even 70's and yet they move effortlessly and have a great deal of power.
Karate and kata training are the secret to a great quality of life.
@ShorinRyuRonin I had chance to train with Uechi Sensei this past spring. You should see what he can do in person. The man moves with so much grace and yet so much power. The bonus is he is a very kind person.
is there a demonstration of this kata's application?
