isshinryu naihanchi Kata

[kyleharper1984]

Since when does isshin ryu have a purple belt?

Hallo. I am not an Isshinryu practitioner however, I have been studying martial arts for 43 years and have been teaching since '82 and was very impressed with your kata! (Isshin1's comments make good sense). I was equally impressed with your respectful attitude to your seniors. You will go far!

Very good

Just tested for my 3 stripe brown belt.messed up on this kata tho

Use a little more hip action and you will feel the power.

this is one of the most deadly traditional Kata in Martial arts.

Justin,

Please visit the YOUTUBE site oikddojo, I'm sure you'll find it very informational, especially the videos on Isshinryu.

Just a helpful little hint if you want to get better: Do you fight like a robot? No? Then why are you practicing your Kata like one? Give that a think. It will help you find the deeper meaning of what you are doing.

I have been in the art for a long time. I do have to say. For a mna....you better put some power into that and mean it! Good job....take some nads to post and take flak from guys like me.

As a Gung Fu practitioner, I ADORE Isshin-Ryu. So precise and complete. Excellent work on your kata!

[lax4ever1]

this is excellent advice. i recently got my black belt in Isshinryu and this kata still is one very tricky to master because of the footing and balance aspect.

Thank you sensei. i appreciate and will try your suggestions. Thanks again sir.

i am a 5th dan in isshinryu and have been studying for 15yrs. i think the kata was executed very well. you had excellent posture and techinque. everything was crisp and strong. shimbabuku would be proud to see purple belts showing this type of talent

[justinhove]

I appreciate your kind words sensei. It is always good to hear form someone with respect, (even if I have yet to earn it) and kind, humble comments. I have soince then fixed up some breathing erros and technique. Next to be posted, Wansu and Chinto. Arigatou Gozaimasu

impressive credentials..

[jdtwk123]

My one piece of advice is: pay attention to staying erect when doing the footwork. Avoid leaning, and keep your spine straight. Doing naihanchi kicks should never cause you to bend.  Good practicing.

You deserve kudos for having the guts to put yourself on youtube... and you're still only a purple belt. good job and good luck

[justinhove]

thank you
