Slightly too fast for my taste. I prefer a slower step across, after the head block, strike the nose, and slide away, take a slower step, get yourself set in a crane stance before the kick and I think it looks better. But like I said, very good other than that...
good timing, a little fast, however footing was excellent puches were executed the correct way. i felt it was an excellent seisan form. i am a 5th Dan in Isshinryu and have been studying it for 15yrs now
on the contrary that sucked it was too fast the technique was terrible (he was throwing his hips around for some reason) and there was no application whatsoever to any technique
The reason for the hip movement is generation of power into the punch/kick. Like baseball or football, you don't stand like a statue and expect to use just arm strength to deliver. His technique was good, but if you feel you can back up your statement by providing a video response of yourself performing, I'd be happy to compare.
unfortunately i dont have a camera at the moment (due to loosing it on a ski trip) otherwise i might. as for the hip movements he was over exaggerating them by swinging them out too far. in my dojo our techniques are derived from the hip for power and speed but once you pass the center of gravity it loses its effect. you might as well be bumping them with it at that point. did i clarify my point well enough? and thanks for being tactful in your response, sadly many are too immature to do so.
also when he punches his feet are way behinds in relation to his fists. ideally for maximum power the feet should be in position at the same time as the punch hits the opponent. i could say more but ill leave it at that.
I understand the point you are trying to make, but I must disagree about the punch/foot position. From a basic approach, that foot should be planted prior to delivery of a punch. He does that, for a second prior to delivery and a slight slide. That occurs with power delivery. The torque created by the feet, hips and punch will generate a lot of force which makes it difficult (especially smooth floors) to maintain that position.
Ok...this is the third time I'm trying to post this comment. I guess YouTube does not allow URL posts anymore.
Anyway, search for "Seisan Kata - 1 of 2 -Angi Uezu -Isshinryu". Watch his rear foot slide as he delivers the punch.
So I think his speed was a bit fast like you pointed out, but I still think he did a good kata. I've seen horrible katas and I've seen great katas, but I didn't think his kata "sucked". And ditto back to you for a well discussed point.
it's not bad but a bit rushed

did your schoo;l teach you not to slightly retract your fist after a punh and just leave it out there?

good timing and good sharp moves, but the stances werent good, the stances after armbreaks shud be lower and the long stance was too sloppy
