@brasshandmartialarts ... I agree , her tempo was pretty fast . I studied with Charles Earle in Providence , Rhode Island . He was a 10th Dan who studied at the Uechi dojo in Okinawa in the 60`s . His tempo was medium and his movements were almost always relaxed . I noticed that most senior students do not " fly " through their kata like this person did .
dunno this style and kata well at all but nice perfomance ; very quick hands indeed. maybe the puches lacking some power, but,,,definitely dan level stuff.
The rude audience needs to be punished

@sweetfly66 As of my knowledge, late master Earle was 8th Dan. 10th Dan has not yet been awarded to a westerner in Uechi. Sensei Mattson is 9th Dan.
As of tempo - it's a competition version of kata, it has to be a bit modified for appearance sake :)

She looks technically very good at this Uechi Ryu kata. This is easily a Dan level performance!

Yes, Uechi ryu, although performed a bit "staccato" compared to what one normally sees.
