and i beg to differ about gkr being about money. i know for a fact they let ppl as low as green belt teach at their own clubs. as a shodan under andy sherry, 8th dan, i wouldnt dream of teaching as i know im not experienced enough.
i think this is one year when dean was injured; guy on the right looks a little short, so i'm guessing it's jamie donaldson. definitely vicky and stuart, though.
i used to be in go kan ryu. awful club i must say. all about money, not standards. i train at the liverpool red triangle now. which is the total opposite.
Well I started out in GKR and as a green belt I was told I should start teaching...I promptly left GKR for that reason. Ive spoken to severel ppl that have the same stories. their ethos is to gain as many members as fast as possible, its a business, regardless of the cost to the art.
my old man does a very good sochin, he's the isle of man open 2005 & 2006 veteran kata champion because of it, he's also uses it at the nationals where he's had gold success
This is my favorite Kata from the Shotokan Syllabus!!!...excellent performance and coordination. A couple of mistakes at the beggining but I will give them a A+ for the KATA.
Sochin is one of my favorite Katas. My favorite is Gankaku. Anyway, what mistake did you see? The only problem I saw was the timing, a little too fast after the side snaps on. But the team was very well synchronized. But the kiais were scary!

It is there but you cant really see it if you are watching the middle person. See at 00:40 - the other two are doing it. Just quickly.

If you want to see how Sochin should be performed, check out Osaka sensei's performance of Sochin.

Watch it again. In 32nd second - the maegeri really weren't synchronised.
The girl in the front have not compact standings, everyone must spot it. Look at her knee in every sochindachi, look at her hips.
