Hm... This record was made in 2005 right after my first participation in Tesshinkan seminar. This my perfomance close enough to Tesshinkan standart, but it's far enogh from Hozon Shinko Kai. And there are some mistakes (doesn't matter of organization). Hip motions have to be more clear, kaeshi-uchi have to be more round and fast, jodan-barai have to be more stable at the end etc. Some stances are not good too.

I have saved your demo as a favorite, like the beach approach. despite the critics, my instructors would have been pleased with the demo. The president of our association- Akamine Kaicho once told my instructor: "if you do Sai kata well, you will do karate well" My instructor says you can never master kobudo, you can only hope to improve performance to performance, if you say you master something...what is there left to learn? Okinawan Kobudo is a living art, we encourage differences!! sam

@samuri411 . Thank you. There are a LOT to learn. I know, in my old perfomance are many mistekes and thinks to improve. Now I do better, but I know -I have much more techniques to make better! So, it's interesting to study :)

Its originally called chiken shitahaku. Yours looks awesome. What style of karate do you take? I've been taught in shorin ryu hip is IMPORTANT. Now in other styles not so much which I don't understand why but to each there own. I'd like to see your kata from more recent. Keep up the awesome work. Arigato gozaimashita

@whatifdesigns, Ok. Thank you. Few days ago I had possibility to make new video records. It was seashore again. I was not much better :) But I will download some Bo-tai-sai techniques, some karate techniques and sai throwing experiment.

nice Work; is this Tesshinkan ? I practice Hozon Shinko Kai

[Pach2]

Do you practise Tesshinkan? In our Ryukyu Kobudo style sequences are perfomed close to this way (yes, there are mistakes too). This video was made in 2005, when I began study tesshinkan. 10 years before I studied another version of Ryukyu kobudo and it was some differences. Styles are DEFFERENT.

yeah, there was some good and bad elements in his kata performance; moving was mostly ok ( avoidance of straight attacks) but his hip movements were none or scarce as well as some stances short and high. also his direction in some parts in the kata were not that taught us by okinawan masters. also teh end part was different. so keep on training pal...
