its a gojuryu kata, the slow bits needs to be performed slower to give the quicker bits more impact. i trained in r27 for a year and got my 1st dan (dont agree with it)
@YoLamoNacho hiya this is the exact same thing that happened to me. I was at a grading to gain my blue belt but they wouldnt pass me because i didnt have my pads even tho i didnt know we had to have them cos they sent me in for the older age group grading
always gotta have some numnuts stupid comment. Why quit when so close to your black belt. if its boring train elsewhere and mix it up. obviously u couldnt hack it anymore and it got too hard for you.
maybe that cause you don't respect it enough and just couldn't be bothers attending classes... you where prob one of the slacker of your grade only some how manage to pass each of your gradings
Good Kata Saifa :) - I got my green belt a couple days ago and i remember doing this kata :D
I also used it in a NZ nationals while i was a 8th Kyu yellow belt and got bronze beaten by 2 orange belts at the time but i had lots of fun.
Thanks for the video i love this Kata and i did a saifa video yesterday and i was wondering if i could have some feedback on how to improve for my next grading for bue belt.
oh no not the saifa! im dreading that kata once i get past the yellow belt.
GKR is fun, its defiantly helped me limber up since i was very stiff before hand which was ok for my first art i trained in (boxing), but i must say Karate is a challenge, one that im enjoying........most nights lol! (region 15)
Thanks for putting this up. I'm getting ready to take my blue belt soon (region 9) and need all the help I can get. It also means I can show my family (who live in different countries to me) what I'm up to without putting my much poorer showing on screen.
:o) Your welcome, good luck in gaining your blue belt.. what you see in this video is self belief, sounds like you could use some :o) dont underestimate what your capable of..
nice

Go Region 24 Tornadoes!
Thanks for posting this Nidean, it's really helped me to fine tune my Saifa.
If my cold goes away by the end of the day, I might be able to use Saifa to grade for my green belt! =D
