That's a very nice looking dojo! Obviously a Judo dojo (photo of Kano Sensei) that is shared by other martial arts I'm guessing. It's interesting how the Taikyoku Kata are practiced by some Shotokan schools and not by others. At our dojo we occassionally practice it whereas our Sister dojo in Japan make it part of regular dojo practice. Personally I think what it offers is already there for people in Heian Shodan, so why add potential confusion?
that was a nice kata. Im guessing you are a shotokan karateka since this kata is a shotokan kata. In that case try to not pick up your heel at all. you get you power from your heal pushing the ground. Nice kata Osu.
oh my goodness this was so hard for me to learn even though its the first one i learned i know every step but i need to keep practicing, because im a yellow belt
There was a further error which he made in this video: the kiai on his last move. This kata has only the first 2 kiais which he gave with very little spirit. I agree that he did not turn his head to look when he should have.
I trained with Hidy Ochiai....his thing was as you said Mr. West Bella...it's not the head....it's your eye movement. It very rarely in kata made us change our head direction execpt for a few (like 2) katas
I hear what you are saying, but many Japanese are not trained this way, a head movement is seen as a forced movement and works against the technique you are performing.
So he didn't FORGET, right or wrong he probably did this on purpose. And you are right Kanazawa's katas are good - but he has spent more time with western karate-ka so his kata would reflect this.
in my opinion he did very well. All he is trying to do is show the movements of the kata. You critics i do not see you doing it. Be real... you tube should not be your main instructor it is good for reference...
this is different from the taikyoku gedan that Im learning, it uses the shiko dachi stance, gedan barai, and gedan ken. maybe thats because this is shotokan?
that's it, back leg is not straight and the tecniques are not strong enough. there's a stop before the third oizuki before kiai, it's not a rush. black belt??? naaaa
my sensei do it whit so much power and nobody in ouer dojo can so then he can...when i look on this all taikyoku shodan on yuotube i can't belive that's this people have black belt.(sorry for mistakes i can't so good englisch)
I agree. For those who say that this kata is easy, are very mistaken. Even the practisioner in the video has made a few small mistakes; no one is perfect, and nothing is never easy.
im sorry sensei but the kiai sounded like a fart instead of a shout...

This is not very good because he forgot a VERY important aspect when doing kata...Head movements
You must look where you are about to attack or block before you move to attack or block...Look at Kanazawa's katas, he is very good at this!!

He makes my version look weak. But at the same time, everyone has their own way of doing it.

this is different from the taikyoku gedan that Im learning, it uses the shiko dachi stance, gedan barai, and gedan ken. maybe thats because this is shotokan?
baronofcheese 4 years ago
probably. what do you do, gojo ryu?
in shotokan (especially in the easier katas) you use the senkutsu dachi a LOT. thats why its so important to have a better stance than this guy.

that's it, back leg is not straight and the tecniques are not strong enough. there's a stop before the third oizuki before kiai, it's not a rush. black belt??? naaaa
