Is it right to do the Manji uke with a Kiai? I learnd the Kata with only the other two Kiai.

[KARATEbyJesse]

Yes, they always do it with the manji-uke/sweep nowadays. I think it feels wrong though... like having kiai at the two gedan uke in Paiku.

Don't like that neither :/

do you have any video on the bunkai / oyo bunkai? thanks

[gohgohchan]

It is just me or anyone else see there are several guys attacking her?

[SensieSanzashi]

Very nice. If you don't mind a suggestion, "try to keep your fingers closed". Otherwise, my hatsoff to you, brilliant demonstration! IMO, with the fingers closed, it would help to enhance and more fully express your KI-AI (i.e. in technique).

[MegaNewbie100]

Fast and strong, just amazing!

[oleczuz]
