  • At 0:35 you need to do it fast with power because you are grabbing under the ribs and pulling them out. So speed and strength are key.

  • Classical form dictates the speed of this movement for performance as "slow". For application though appropriation is obviously key.

  • I always enjoy your kata, best wishes in your training!

  • fantastic

    

  • Nice !!!!! One of the best Kanku Dais I've seen. Oss from Argentine.

  • Excellent form. Ossu

  • This Kanku dai is my favorite one. Very clear movements with Kime.

  • @HaVoCornellJ Unfortunately not the sportish Shotokan, where USUALLY no real bunkai is practiced.

    I completely agree with you about the deepness of karate, as long as we speak about Okinawan traditional karate.

    I mean, there are also lots of hidden movements in sport-karate katas, but what's the sense in that? No actual effective bunkai is praciced. The sense is lost.

  • @LeComte13 well thats the thing with bunkai. Its obvious and henkai has hidden techniques. That open hand jodan and chuto movement can be thought of as blocking and striking pre-emptively. the reaching movement can be a rib grab and snatch, testicle grab and snatch, in my studies we've found a way to use that motion as a take down where the reaching hand grabs behind the thigh and the hand you block with pushes your opponent down. Karatedo has so much inside it man.

  • buena ejecución!!!!

  • @Thousandsunnny2

    Ribs?? I thought it was the balls!

  • wow!!! does this guy know how to perform katas!!!! i have yet to see him do onebadly!! Absolutely brilliant.....
