So proud of my friend... Man I never knew she did this stuff until 5th grade and I didnt know she was that good till she won some world title or something last year
-
That's fantastic...I know a lot of parents who have kids that age and I've never seen such concentration and skill at such a young age. I'd be very proud if that was my kid.
-
Hmm, i wonder what her parents are like.
-
wow she's eight and a brown belt, I'm 11 and a yellow belt... Much respest to ya
-
She is great! I can remember when I was that young doing the same kata. That kid probably will turn into an awesome fighter when she is older.

To enemy8884, what you fail to understand is that kata is not ceremony. They all have movements that have very specific applications. What may look like block or punches to you are often times trap-sweeps, or even throws. Furthermore, they teach essential characteristics of speed, timing, control, spirit, power, etc. You cannot be good at the martial ARTS without having a thorough understanding of kata. Yahara-sensei once fought 37 yakuza at once, and he coincidentally greatly values kata.

Good katas.
Timing was way off on kanku dai and a few basic erros every body makes :s
But very very good for an 8 year old :)
-
Nice kime, good kiai. Still the same basic hand and stance errors as everyone else online. But those errors are her instructors fault, not hers. Still she did Kwank dai better than an 8th dan and a 10th dan I have seen online recently
-
really good, she must have a good teacher, oss :)
-
Amazing and only 8 yrs. old
enemy8884 hater comments shows a shallow view of martial arts. she'll probably never have to use her training in a life threatening situation (hopefully). look beyond the fighting aspect of martial arts and you can see confidence and discipline that the young lady will have in her life skills. she won't grow up to post negative comments on kids on youtube like you.

Many of her opponents have shed tears after taking a good shot from her, boys and girls alike! She's got great focus and a very good understanding of kime even at her young age (now 10).
