Isshinryu is not as hard on the joints as other styles,so its not unusual to see a lot of older Isshinryu Practitioners still in practice as they were in their youth. From first hand experience the emphasis placed on natural positioning,natural movements,hard-line conditioning,natural breathing and combat effectiveness,make Isshinryu a great no flash or frills style for older practitioners and young practitioners alike, so if you are over 50 and you dont like Tai Chi Isshinryu might be it.
is there a demonstration of this kata's application?
