but, to pass the black belt,(in poland, i don't know how is in your country.) you have to do enpi and tekki shodan. and third is your choice from: bassai dai, jion, kanku dai. sorry for my english;)
Could someone recomend me 3 katas to learn to pass to black belt, I choose this, Basai Dai, Tekki Shodan and Empi, is it a good choice? or must I choose other ones?
@rakxodekueyar i would do bassai dai, jihon and enpi if i have to pass my black belt^^ But i'm only a green belt, so you know it probably better than i do.
Im only a yellow belt at the minute. but i have to say that even the simplest katas take a lot of work to get effortless. I find that practising kata with friends attacking you from the angles the moves are designed to block, grab or attack helps to understand what your actually doing in the moves.
@laxbros12and13 are you even into karate?? because I believe that the people that clicked on this video did it because they need Bassai Dai for their following exam...So if you would practice karate you would know tit isnt a joke at all..not for my sense anyway...
@WolfTeamingAround took me about two years to do a kata we call Dan Kwon Cohng Bohng. its a filler form to seperate the tekkis and the shos. kong keock is its opposite. i learned both very well but it took me yeras to do the first one. everyone else thought kong keock was godawful. took me about 20 minutes to memorize and i learned it in a week. how? practicing like a total fiend.
@WolfTeamingAround He has memorized them in an hour, not LEARNED them. Anyone can memorize a kata quickly but all it will be to them is a bunch of movements, more a dance then a martial art. To truly learn kata takes years and to master them takes a lifetime.
this is my next kata for 2nd kyu.i find kata is about what you put in.if you give 100% then you will get youre rewards..but dont be afraid to ask sensai if you are unsure.everyone has diff limits,but we can all train karate...
dear Mr channel, thank you for showing interest in Karate. but u hav to try it urself else you'll not find anything. I can share some experience, I trained 1-2 cops and army men and they r doing well in there field. From outside every thing seems very easy. Do it nd u'll know else everything is waste. Thank u once again for showing interest. Hav nice time
@MrChannel5news it is not a waste of time ... kata is not for use in a real fight it is to learn and understand strength, breathing, stance and all other things if u are doing karate just for a fight then mate jog on cos it is a skill that takes many years to learn and understand...
many years haha....i loled......ok uhm no its a waste of time....if you cant beatt up someone in the real world. Then its a waste of time and effort...because if it doesnt work in a real fight then what are you really training for?? NOTHING. If youre learning maritial arts...and its unaffective against a real fight..then its bullshit right...right so stfu
@MrChannel5news EXACTLY! which is why people only learn martial arts to beat people up. i mean come on. the first book in Go Jin Ro was "The book of being a bad ass."
@MrChannel5news It works in a fight bro, however it to do so successfully you must Learn. Learn more. Then fine tune the MA into your own style. Then you can kick ass >_>
If you apply shotokan karate to a real fight you will either be very successful or humiliatingly bad. You need to learn each move. Feel the kata. Practising and knowing a kata thoroughly will make your muscles react to block opponents attacks in a real fight naturally. Best thing about shotokan is a block breaks a arm.
@MrChannel5news if you would practice kata you would know that the sense should always show you why you are doing this move and why you are doing that move for...
Does anyone have any pointers for me on this kata? I cannot make the first two chudan blocks strong enough!!! My test is October 30 for 2 kyu brown belt.
@MrKarateka123 only few days left!! why not asking ur sensei instead of asking ol!! is he an angry man ha ha???, believe me still u can ask, he wont mind, all like a person who wanna learn something, right, there is a simple and basic funda for making techniques powerful if ur practicing alone, but I dont want to discuss in public,, best of luck!!!
In my organization we have changed our practice of bassai since this video was made. We no longer kick with the double punch but bring our knees up like a block.
i have not trained for 15 years as i started working away. kata was always my favorate part of training and to see it done so well has inspired me to take time out to run through kata every day. i may never be good enough to put my belt back on
Thank you so much for these videos. Over the last 3 1/2 years since I started karate I have used these videos as a guide more times than I can count. Especially when first learning the katas, but even now there is more to learn from these videos.
Kanazawa's technique is flawless but it's his focus/power or kime that inspires me. That's something I often struggle with. Especially when I'm tired I tend to lose focus and not really MEAN my movements. I test for my Shodan soon...thanks again.
@mymyharlow I agree - for goju people its seinchin and for shotokan its bassai dai. After 7 years in goju I'm now doing shotokan and really enjoying the differences. Learning heian sandan at the moment.
i have a book of shotokan karate called karate: the complete kata and believe me it helps a lot and sometimes i just watch the videos ;) and i like this video
@shotokanste LoL Someone once said to me a Dancer said she could learn the movements in one week if she can be shown the videos of them. And she did! But of course she knows none of the Martial Arts side or Kime or Bunkai. Still, makes you think and make sure you aren't doing "ballet" when you do a kata. It ain't a dance. It's a training tool for so many complex things that help make a martial artist. Everything else there is pads and training partners for :D .
@shotokanste it will take a life time if that's what you believe. there is only so much in a kata if you spend your life looking for hidden meaning in it, your missing the whole point
I notice that at the start his soto blocks kind of flick into an uchi right at the end (like in heian nidan before the first mae geri). Any thoughts on this? We've been taught those blocks as straight soto.
These videos are absolutely brilliant for revision. Thanks for uploading them and thanks to Kanazawa-San! Ossu!
If You are 9 kyu, You shouldn't learn upper than heian sandan. That's my opinion. I was at club were students didn't know upper than next on exam. After 3 years I went on university, In my new club students learn more kata than next on exam and level of katas is much worse than in my prevorious club.
@XEROX161991 afaik, heian sandan is demanded only for 6 kyu so if he is 9 kyu, he shouldn't even train heian nidan cause first he has to master heian shodan very well. In my club, the division looks like that: exam for: 9 kyu - taikyoku shodan 8 kyu - heian shodan 7 kyu - heian nidan 6 kyu - heian sandan 5 kyu - heian yodan 4 kyu - heian godan (i passed it 2 days ago and now im 4 kyu :) ) 3 kyu - tekki shodan 2 kyu - bassai-dai 1 kyu - kanku-dai / jion / enpi / hangetsu
@rsx1995 My congratulations :) I also am 4 kyu and I passed on it on December :) I agree That You should only know katas on your degree plus 1 on next exam, but it's hard to do. In group rarely are only one degrees, much more there are for example 6-4 kyu's so You have to learn more katas then next on exam :) Altrought it's better to now less katas with greater level, because if You know many Your level of every one is sh*tty, but it's because of way of teaching of sensei, now this students.
I guess you also had to do heian godan on 'shiken' ? :)
Actually I passed double exam (6 to 4 kyu) cause I had all demanded skills and I am really hardworking and conscientious. What degree is your sensei/shihan and where are you from (country i mean)? :)
@rsx1995 I am sorry but I have no idea what shiken is. I did only heian godan in kata plus kumite and kihon. It's good to train with passion, not many people has passion which is not connected with their job :( It must be hell of exam, you must be tired as hell :) My current Sensei has sandan, I Train at Her dojo from 5 month, before that I was training at Yondan, but I believe that we look at sensei's to much throught degrees the have :) I am from Poland :), poor country but I love it much :D
@CrazyDuck1996 yes you might know them but you can not do them perfectly..no one can(except the masters of course) ..I believe 9 kyuis the first step into karate..I have 5 kyu and I am only at Bassai Dai...when I was 9 kyu I was learning the taykyokus...
I can remember a lot of 2nd and 1st kyus doing this when I was about 6 and a half. I wondered what all the moves represented. Now I'm beginning to learn one or two moves. The last two moves will stick in my head forever. Is sister Dai or sister Sho done first??? :)
@blondemario bassai dai comes first and is the last kata of the kyu grades (its actually the kata of 3rd, 2nd and 1st kyu. bassai sho comes later in the dan grades
@rmanili7406 Well, if you see the video, the first block after the stomp-in outside block is an outside block, then an outside block. When he turns around, the next one is an inside block, then an outside block.
@playstationblubber you can say you memorized any kata in 1 hour, but to say you learned it is a little too much ;-) it takes a long time to really *learn* a kata well.
@nosachamos It's said that for being ready to begin to learn a kata, you must perform 10 000 times it. i'm not sure if that is true, but there's only one way to know if it's true :D.
@nosachamos I've been studying for 10 years and I'm still learning my kata. You never really stop learning kata. You always find new ways to refine it.
my grandmother thinks she can beat brock lesnar from UFC the heavyweight champion. i told her....start with the lightweights at least................................
in my school most 3rd kyu are required by sensei to have Bassai Dai as our Tekui Kata. He chooses this kata for americans because we tend to have bad hip rotation. This kata improves it!
@mymyharlow I can relate to what you're saying about Bassai Dai(called Bassai Sho in my school). This is a 5th Kyu(blue belt) kata in my school, but my sensei is allowing me to learn it as a 7th Kyu(orange). It's tough, especially after having done calisthenics and practicing my kicks but I love it.
It's not really Dancing With The Stars, guys. You are fighting multiple enemies. My Sensei would whack us on the back of the leg with a 2X4 if our heel came off the ground in a stance. It's been so long I forgot the name of the stance...for shuto uki(sp)? The Sensei who taught our class was that with Shotokan, you would do two things to your opponent...kill them or maim them. I only got to 7th kyu before my knees gave out. We did this kata. It's tougher than it looks.
i hate all these dickheads saying karate is useless and tkd is way better if they new anything at all tkd and karate are very similar an its not the martial art its the martial artist
This video is the biggest help ever it helping me master my jion and basidi I can finally be q brown 1 and soon a black maybe one day we can do some komite I would really look toward to it
@madmushroom206 if you say a kata is easy, i can be almost sure that you know nothing about it, do you? How much di you think it takes you to perform a kata well? Senseis Ankoh Itosu said it was 3 years for 1 kata!
This kata is also my favorite of the shotokan katas, It is a very popular kata, and seeing different versions in different styles is always an eye opener.
kirkoloft 10.... U must have gotten ur ASS WHIPPED on the streets ALOT. People don't tap out in the streets. Only a punk ass biaaattcchh like u would think that!
kirkoloft10 : this is meant to be an immaginery combat as all katas, not a real one. But it has an analysis or Buncai that explains all the movements. Even though this is part of the art, of the combination and the expression of the martial artist. Also remember that kung fu also has dances from it´s animals, but they aren`t intended to be as fightings.
This kata is very fun, but challenging. I just learned it a week ago(brown). I have about a month to get it compition ready, I learned it late. I had problems learning it because I was getting confused. My buddy learned it in one night (no idea how he did it). Learned it now just practicing alot......
Not really, I have practiced for many years and I can tell you that dude can hurt you. I love TKD too but it is more of a competition SPORT (like boxing) whereas Karate is a martial art discipline. On a ring competing for points and a medal, the TKD has a better chance but on a street or battle situation I would say Karate is better designed for that. I practiced both and they are both great disciplines.
As a person who has trained both martial arts (tkd to a lesser extent) I really have to agree with you. I've compared moves against a tkd student who has trained far longer than myself and tkd just can't compete against karate. Not to mention, despite 6yrs of training his conditioning is poor.Fancy kicks are good and all but not efficient unless they hit an opponent with full power.
I think the colors are to help teachers work with the students in the class, so they can easily tell who is practicing what kata and subdivide the groups of one class say from white to green (10th through 5th). When you reach first Dan then you realize you are just starting to learn and all those belts did not matter. At that point there is no belt anymore, you just learn more every day. The BELTSdo not give you a grade, they give you the right to train at that level.
That's true Various dojos use different belt systems. Mine was blue belt and the color system used was White-Yellow-Orange-Green-Blue-Brown-Black-+Dan
In shotokan, Bassai Dai is not a favourite kata of mine as I failed it when siting my 1st dan, but passed on it later on. My favourite kata is probably Kanku Sho or Enpi as I feel Bassai Dai is too basic.
It's not about how basic the movements are it's about doing them with perfection at Dan level. That probably why you failed the first time and with more experience with the kata was able to pass it at a later date.
Bassai Dai is my Kata right now, not my favorite either but I have learned a lot from it. I would say Kanku Dai and Jite are my favorites but I most admit at this point (1st Dan) I perform better at Bassai Dai, All we can do is keep training since we are just beginning to learn.
It is more than that, they can grade your attitude and you may fail because the sensei thinks you did not do your very best effort. It is common to see a kid with a good Kata pass and an adult with a better performance fail, if the adult did not show maximum possible speed, form, feeling, rithm etc. Failing can be good, it makes you humble and gives you an incentive to train harder
Various dojos use different belt systems. Mine was 9th kyu to 10th dan. The color system used was white, yellow, blue, green, purple, brown, black. We didn't use stripes to denote kyu. You just knew where you stood. I am 3rd dan in Shotokan.
I'm learning this kata at the moment going from purple to brown 3. This will be useful to help me remember the steps I cant remember, also it is good to view the kata from 2 different angles thanks!!!
Dang, dude, you're good!

In group rarely are only one degrees, much more there are for example 6-4 kyu's so You have to learn more katas then next on exam :) Altrought it's better to now less katas with greater level, because if You know many Your level of every one is sh*tty, but it's because of way of teaching of sensei, now this students.

@XEROX161991 Well, you're absolutely right :)
I guess you also had to do heian godan on 'shiken' ? :)
Actually I passed double exam (6 to 4 kyu) cause I had all demanded skills and I am really hardworking and conscientious. What degree is your sensei/shihan and where are you from (country i mean)? :)
rsx1995 11 months ago
@rsx1995 I am sorry but I have no idea what shiken is. I did only heian godan in kata plus kumite and kihon. It's good to train with passion, not many people has passion which is not connected with their job :( It must be hell of exam, you must be tired as hell :) My current Sensei has sandan, I Train at Her dojo from 5 month, before that I was training at Yondan, but I believe that we look at sensei's to much throught degrees the have :) I am from Poland :), poor country but I love it much :D

@CrazyDuck1996 yes you might know them but you can not do them perfectly..no one can(except the masters of course) ..I believe 9 kyuis the first step into karate..I have 5 kyu and I am only at Bassai Dai...when I was 9 kyu I was learning the taykyokus...

I can remember a lot of 2nd and 1st kyus doing this when I was about 6 and a half. I wondered what all the moves represented. Now I'm beginning to learn one or two moves. The last two moves will stick in my head forever. Is sister Dai or sister Sho done first??? :)

@CrazyDuck1996 Bassai Dai and Bassai Sho are 'sisters' as are Kan Ku Dai and Kan Ku Sho. Dai and Sho are nicknamed "sisters" at my club.

@blondemario bassai dai comes first and is the last kata of the kyu grades (its actually the kata of 3rd, 2nd and 1st kyu. bassai sho comes later in the dan grades

I have a question about whether all of the blocks at the beginning of the kata are inside blocks.
I have a difference of opinion with another person in my karate class that thinks 2 of the blocks are outside blocks.
Can anyone clarify what the blocks are eith all inside blocks or a mixture of inside and outside blocks.
Thanks,
Barry

@rmanili7406 Well, if you see the video, the first block after the stomp-in outside block is an outside block, then an outside block. When he turns around, the next one is an inside block, then an outside block.

in my school most 3rd kyu are required by sensei to have Bassai Dai as our Tekui Kata. He chooses this kata for americans because we tend to have bad hip rotation. This kata improves it!

@mymyharlow I can relate to what you're saying about Bassai Dai(called Bassai Sho in my school). This is a 5th Kyu(blue belt) kata in my school, but my sensei is allowing me to learn it as a 7th Kyu(orange). It's tough, especially after having done calisthenics and practicing my kicks but I love it.

It's not really Dancing With The Stars, guys. You are fighting multiple enemies. My Sensei would whack us on the back of the leg with a 2X4 if our heel came off the ground in a stance. It's been so long I forgot the name of the stance...for shuto uki(sp)? The Sensei who taught our class was that with Shotokan, you would do two things to your opponent...kill them or maim them. I only got to 7th kyu before my knees gave out. We did this kata. It's tougher than it looks.

kirkoloft10 : this is meant to be an immaginery combat as all katas, not a real one. But it has an analysis or Buncai that explains all the movements. Even though this is part of the art, of the combination and the expression of the martial artist. Also remember that kung fu also has dances from it´s animals, but they aren`t intended to be as fightings.

bleedingouttheeyes1 2 years ago
Not really, I have practiced for many years and I can tell you that dude can hurt you. I love TKD too but it is more of a competition SPORT (like boxing) whereas Karate is a martial art discipline. On a ring competing for points and a medal, the TKD has a better chance but on a street or battle situation I would say Karate is better designed for that. I practiced both and they are both great disciplines.
theredbotton 2 years ago 2
As a person who has trained both martial arts (tkd to a lesser extent) I really have to agree with you. I've compared moves against a tkd student who has trained far longer than myself and tkd just can't compete against karate. Not to mention, despite 6yrs of training his conditioning is poor.Fancy kicks are good and all but not efficient unless they hit an opponent with full power.
8987551788 2 years ago
I think the colors are to help teachers work with the students in the class, so they can easily tell who is practicing what kata and subdivide the groups of one class say from white to green (10th through 5th). When you reach first Dan then you realize you are just starting to learn and all those belts did not matter. At that point there is no belt anymore, you just learn more every day. The BELTSdo not give you a grade, they give you the right to train at that level.

In shotokan, Bassai Dai is not a favourite kata of mine as I failed it when siting my 1st dan, but passed on it later on. My favourite kata is probably Kanku Sho or Enpi as I feel Bassai Dai is too basic.
lasafueras 2 years ago
It's not about how basic the movements are it's about doing them with perfection at Dan level. That probably why you failed the first time and with more experience with the kata was able to pass it at a later date.
nintendo2600 2 years ago 2
Bassai Dai is my Kata right now, not my favorite either but I have learned a lot from it. I would say Kanku Dai and Jite are my favorites but I most admit at this point (1st Dan) I perform better at Bassai Dai, All we can do is keep training since we are just beginning to learn.
theredbotton 2 years ago
It is more than that, they can grade your attitude and you may fail because the sensei thinks you did not do your very best effort. It is common to see a kid with a good Kata pass and an adult with a better performance fail, if the adult did not show maximum possible speed, form, feeling, rithm etc. Failing can be good, it makes you humble and gives you an incentive to train harder
