    Yamaguchi Sensei was many times finalist in Kata and Kumite in JKA 1960's and 70's tournaments

  • Yamaguchi Sensei passed away July 31st, 2010. When he did this old version of Bassai Dai, his name was Iwaizumi Toru.

  • Excellent!

  • Cool. This looks like "real" kata as opposed to what you normally see in traditional Karate tournaments. His techniqes are relaxed and powerful, mechanically led. There is no audio but he's using more relaxed breathing instead of the restrictive breathing seen in many modern shotokan schools.

  • The sensei performing this kata, Toru Yamaguchi, passed away on August 3rd 2010. He was a very strong karateka who led tough training sessions but also was friendly and with a great sense of humour outside the dojo. May he rest in peace!

  • I am impressed by the speed of the arm movements. I am not sure though that there is such a strong link between the body movement and the dynamic of the limbs. Was the more traditional style more muscle and less body movement oriented ?

  • Why did you remove my comment?

  • oss. for the old school.

  • @niseikenpo There are several differences within different styles. This is in principle how I learned it.
