Hi Matt san,

Thanks for dropping by. Yes, this is, in fact, Kanzaki Sensei himself.

Very cool! Thanks for sharing!

Oss this kata is powerful. is there anyone (maybe a student of his) that performs this in a similar fashion with a more recent video? I wish to learn this kata. it definitely has a Goju Vibe to it :)

Excellent and very inspiring. Thank you kindly Patrick Sensei....

Yes, this is my Tou'on-ryu teacher.

Very impressive! Kanzaki Sensei's speed and power as demonstrated in this kata are truly ... frightening. And apparently at over 60 years of age at the time of filming, too.

Yes, this is Kanzaki sensei performing Gokenki's Nepai in the late 1980's. He's almost 60 in this video! I was back in Beppu two weeks ago to attend Kanzaki sensei's 81st birthday. He's slowed down a little, but still going strong!

This is among the 10 most amazing kata I have ever seen performed. It would take me a long time to learn it, but I hope I can some day! Is this teacher in Mario Sensei's lineage? Thank you PM Hanshi!
