Belts are to hold your pants up....The kids spirit was awesome and he looked focused.Sound effects???please...call it breathing(tensho,sanchin).You forget the age of this kid master looloface ;) It's great to see interest in Goju since nowadays MMA is so in vogue.Master one style young man then move to the next,don't listen to mister ego loolooface.
@loolooface No insulting done on my behalf. Breathing is highly important as you describe and should never be obstructed with the sound effect that I mentioned previously. Sound effects in competition Kata are often done during breathing or by slapping the arms to the body during movements. Some judges actually deduct points for this kind of behavior, others think it's supposed to be like this.
@loolooface Blocking the airway to create sound while exhaling is not productive in maintaining good power management throughout the Kata. It's basically wasting energy.
@loolooface Someone that has really dedicated their lives to karate wouldnt worry about the meaningless opinions of nobodies on the internet.

I hear you with the MMA BS. It's typical emericanisation of martial arts. It looks good on TV, seeing two men beat the shit out of each other.
Nothing turns me off more. Good kata is a turn ON.

NICE... Very nice.
Good spirit. Technically very nice. Only point would be to be lower and more considerate to flow (fast bits fast, slow bits Sllooooow).
11/10 for this boys Sensei. A fantastic student you have.

@finnurth the breathing locks in ur muscles and strengthens your core... it also helps u stay focused and strong
I do admit he's not doing the breathing perfectly, and not as productivly, but its still at a good standard
Stop insulting the art of Goju will ya?
