Please people how can critics this. If you practiice Shotokan you know that it's so difficult accomplish this performance. At different that shito and wado, shotokan has very inestable and low stands, then to compiite using shotokan kata you must be fast and powerful as luca is.

stop to critics. It's right to say that you don't understand because you really don't understand .Results are there (3 times world champion and 11 time european champion). If you think that Valdesi has lack of power it's because you never see him just in front of you. You cannot find a better shotokan. As quick, as explosive, as powerful...In WKF traditional shotokan is dead. Only traditional Shito Ryu still working.

Two years ago, someone performed bassaidai exactly as his "kanku dai" in his 3º Dan exam, and failed because that's not a kata, it lacks power and technique. It's a useless kata that will only make a fake karate.

don t like his technic, don t understand how it s possible he has been 3 times world champion, no comparision possible with antonio diaz, if i have to give a mark for the level in each style, i ll give 6/10 to lukas in shotokan and 8/10 for diaz in shito ryu. i think valdesi impresses the judges because he is sharper but that s all....

fail 1:48-1:51 ?

[jamonco1]
