I'm not sure... but definitely older and you and me! ;-) Counting in Japanese? Not that we couldn't have done it in Japanese...As long as it is counting, does it matter what language it is?
Is there three Rohai kata? This is Rohai taught in 50s, by Master Soken to Yoshimatsu Akamine Shinshii, when he was 16. During training in 70s this was taught as a 7th Dan kata. Sad to see some systems teaching it as a kyu kata. Not good
Garrett Shinshii, is 59 years old. Utilizing, Hai, hai, hai, for counting increases one chi/ki a little more then just counting in Japanese

Hello, with respect... How old is Sensei Garrett, and how come no counting in Japanese?
