@02sarale That is correct; Yahara Sensei operated a security company that protected prominent Japanese business men from their enemies, who were often Yakuza. If you look around on Youtube a bit, you can find some Japanese news coverage of Yahara's business. He is what you might call a serious customer, a no-nonsense sort of fellow who could in fact great harm, should he choose to do so.
The very first time l was taught this kata, (many years ago !), because its' name is EMPI, I was expecting elbow strikes !
Which never materialised !

@Numberwang90 Dude I would pay money to see you fight Yahara in a street fight with no rules no holds bar, I'd be amazed if he didn't Kill you or leave you Permanently crippled in under 40 seconds.
