Kata CHATAN YARA KUSANKU (Old Style) - Okinawa Kôkôsei Taikai 2009

[12GuageJeezus]

This is still tournament style. You should watch the old Nagamine (Matsubayashi Shorin-Ryu) videos. They do it the old way. Of course, tournament style is what even modern Okinawans seem to enjoy nowadays.

@KARATEbyjesse What stile is she?

[STPtje]

Whoah, totally different from what I'm doing (Wado Ryu) but I loved it. Her movements are swift and to the point. I would love to have some of her awesomeness. xD Her kata's are a lust for karate eyes. Well performed.

Old Styleじゃないです　演武ようにかなり創作はいってます

This old version is very close to the shorin ryu version of the same kata- it shows I think that the two styles were originally much closer than they are now.- Very well done too I might add!!

[StompDeni42]

So much power, so much speed in these perfect techniques! It is a honour to see this.

A slightly different version of Chatanyara Kushanku from the modern that I'm used to seeing. The Old style is more Chinese influenced.

Another excellent performance! To judge from this and the other clips you have posted there seems to have been a very high standard at the Taikai! This would be one of Takahiro Shinjo's students? Regards.

how can you finish three meters away from starting position in this Kata

[Nerubio]

@DonauIsar:

Because nobody cares where you end up. It's not a factor.

[Karadota]

There are guite a few differences between Shito ryu's CHatanyara Kushanku. Can anyone explain why?

[KARATEbyJesse]

@Karadota:

I believe the Japanese Shito-kai organization changed it for tournament purpose.

[MGmartialarts]

One of the best chatanyara kushanku i ever seen
