I never learned Chinto thoroughly, but having seen it performed by many advanced practitioners I can say that this is a very good performance. The technique is crisp and the internal power is there.
This Okumachi Koji´s performance is so far the best wado (kai?) Chinto i have ever seen. I have been working with the kata for a year and a half now almost on daily basis and I have to admit that this guy earns my undisputed respect!
A beautiful kata no matter whose style performs, however I have to say that I prefer the Shotokan Gankaku version. In my opinion it's more dynamic.

I want to see Wado Kai make it to the finals for Kata World Championships for the WKF. That would be sweet!
