BEST ANSWER on this subject: I do not like to get in the habit of saying one style is better than others. In regards to karate as a sport-I believe tournament compeition, that while it has some benefits, it does create a mindset and habits that will not work for actual combat. I also agree that when you can not attck the joints, eyes, throat, fingers, groin, etc that a true martial artist would not be able to effectively use their style.
he comes to my country next month and im gonna train with him and im only 9 kyu but my sensei want me to jump over 8. kyu oh i cant wait training with him
@Andreasrantzau It's not about which belt you are, I know alot of people who are white belt, yet they have 5 years of experience, they just never did exams for their Kyu's. As long as you understand what Karate is about and try hard enough, you're good to go. Even if you're a Yellow belt/9th Kyu (I'm assuming you perform Shotokan)
@Insidiousemoboy1 hehe...you want to be careful about that...my instructor failed nidan the first time (about a million years ago) because he didn't say 'nijushiho' clearly enough :P
Perhaps I have got a wrong impression. Is this kata by any chance illustrative of where Shotokan gets fairly close in methodology and in spirit to Go-ju?
a great sensei. i respect him so much. this year he was in my country and could not go and see him. i hope i meet him oine day. Sensei respect . iam from jka but Kanazawa expresses real karate . truly respectful and honorable man

I can't stand when my sensei says nijushiho. For some reason he always says "nishishiho" D:<

@groveavenue Karate is karate. There are no styles,some masters have always taught katas or training methods differently a little but its a the same.
When you say go=ju ryu,shito ryu,etc it doesnt mean a different martial art. Ryu means school.
Its just a different school of thought on karate.

I wish to learn this kata also.
(There is no version of Nijushiho in Matsubayashi-Ryu (As far as my studies of various styles show. I may indeed be wrong.)

The difference between DOING the kata and FILMING it is that hes doing it very slowly so that people at home who is watching understand hes moves...
