@myrtedecorsica I would definitely agree that one can learn a lot from watching Valdesi perform his kata. And the speed is not necessarily the problem with his kata. The problem is rigidity when making this speed. His mentality is stuck on moving fast and looking good rather than on connection and hip placement . This is good enough for kata competitions, but application may be another story. Kanazawa on the other hand seems more focused on making correct form so that every technique is strong.

@chudanjufood well I'm not saying I'm looking at them a s a "shining examples" but for junior student they are definately good example, and I can learn from them a lot. Valdesi e Maurino Kata may be a bit too fast but they are done beautifully, as an example when they both do Unsu, it's amazing, while when Sensei Kanazawa does Unsu, it may be slightly slower, the kick at the end (is it ushirogeri ?) so the kick doesn't look that spectacular, but his Kata seems more powerful

@myrtedecorsica: Kanazawa is very good. Where he differs from people like Valdesi is that his technique is good. Valdesi rushes through everything so much that his form suffers. By no means do I mean that nothing can be learned from these people, I simply hope that nobody looks to them to be the shining examples of what Shotokan is. In my humble opinion, one might look to people like Oshima, Egami, and Ono for such an example. Thanks for the constructive conversation.

@chudanjufood I see your point of view and in some cases I'm agree with that.Sometimes the technique presented is let's say not the best one,but than when me as a junior student watch video of Maurino, Kanazawa Sensei,Tatsuya Naka etc.,not only I can correct my position while practicing at home, sometimes I forget how things should be done and it helps me but there is another aspect: when I watch them I wanna be as good as they are in their positions,power and smoothness and I train harder...
