Thanks for posting this video. It is good to get a chance to see inside the JKA HQ to get a feel for how things look and feel. Well done on your test by the way. To be honest I am surprised that the JKA were okay about the filming of it. But the footage doesn't look like it's been done in secret, so I assume all was okay with them. Is there any other film or is this all?
great dan test, especially the jiyuu kumite section! during the kihon section it seems that you are moving more slowly than is usual in tests. were you asked to slow it down for the examiners, or is this just an optical illusion created by the video recorder? i assume you are quite fast when you do kihon in class. osu!
in Japan it is not important how fast you do it but how correct you do it. i did my kihon slowly on purpose so instructors could see how i use my hip rotations (koshi) hanmi shomen.
Avimazalto, I was there at the JKA Hombu during this dan shinsa and I saw you. Nice kicks dude! But I think your shuto-uke blocking hand tends to open (your little finger tends to separate from your hand. Honestly I'm not as skillful as you, butit would be better if you can keep your fingers close together for the shuto.

You welcome, you can record during the exams but not during the lessons.
I had a few more videos but I didnt upload all videos to you tube.

Does the JKA not require bunkai to be included as part of the grading?
