It performs well kata, super! I may be wrong, but according to my girl named Shoko Tamanaka 4th dan, a student Hanshi 10th dan Shigeru Takamiyagi Okikukai Shohei Ryu / Uechi Ryu style.
Sorry about posting so much but I have a lot to say. The very last technique (the Shoken strike), i can't see from the angle but there has to be contact in regards to the left shoken hand and the right elbow. I can see that it is there, but contact is very important.
I cannot tell if this is what I am seeing (because her arms move so damn fast!) but it kind of looks to me like her circle blocks strike her striking hand (or maybe her striking hand strike the circle blocks), this is not a good thing to do because it will take away the energy of the block. Not that it matters to this person because she has a ridiculous amount of power. Worthy of Master Kinjo in my opinion.
I can see the intention in said girl's actions when she moves, which is really the point of Kanshiwa. It looks like she is fighting several people, which is a good thing - whether she knows it or not.
Does anyone know where this is, or the name of the practitioner?

The kata didn't seem alive enough. Very wooden. Isn't the style about half hard, half soft?

Nice! I don't know anything about Uechi-Ryu, but this girl has sharp and well defined techniques and a kime worthy of a male fighter. Respect!

I really love Kanshiwa(even if it wasn't until this very moment I learned how to properly SPELL it) it is my favorite of the katas that I know.
I love to see great examples of it, it really helps (and inspires) me.
very nice
Thank you for this.
