I practiced in JKA New York, under Mori Sensei. Everything is technically the same except the three Yama Tsuki (U-Punch). The punches we do are further apart (upper and lower), elbows bent but the wrists straight into the target (head and solar plexus). We also have to put the knee up (as a block to lower attack or as a stomp kick) before executing Yama-Tsuki. Also, before the last Shuto-Uke, we have to look at the incoming opponent before the slow turn back and into the left side technique..
TheJagman66, I also noticed some differences compared to Bassai Dai I learned years ago while we all belonged to IAKF. But I'm not sure if it's technical flows on Kawasaki Sensei's part, or they were changed under his current association's Kata rules. Anyway, as you said the differences are minor and the overall performance is great. I still regard all of the Shotokan as one big family.Thank you LeSonic for this.
@DCdiamonds You know Kawasaki Sensei was my teacher when I was in Tokyo for about two months in 2008. I learned a lot from him and he is a wonderful Sensei and friend. But on that note I tend to agree with you. Nonetheless props to the man.
@DCdiamonds Also I might add in KWF there is a tendency to stomp the feet for every step forwards, however I'm aware that for normal stepping forward in say shuto uke kiba dachi, the feet should SLIDE not stomp, likewise for oi zuki etc. I notice KWF tends to stomp the foot almost every time they advance, as shown in the video above. I think we should stomp when kata requires fumikomi but slide smoothly for most other movements.
Well, techniques vary from one organization to the next, and school to school, and teacher to teacher. But I think this is another great Bassai-dai kata performance.
это не хорошо!

There are few things that would be minor technical flaws the way I learned it in the ISKF.
Great performance none the less! I really like the way he does it with speed and sharpness while bringing out the characteristics of the kata.

Lovely , although in my Association, we lift the knee before the Yama Tsuki's near the end of the Kata.
