@tokaidosan fundamentally yes I agree. But the modern approach to Yoko geri keage and understanding of body mechnanics gives not only a different feel but looks a little different. Ossu
as opposed to yoko kokome geri which mean side thrust kick.
The difference is keage is done without using the hip in thrusting. This is used in situations where speed is more important than power or in close quarters were distance is a factor.
I havent seen this version of doing it just the version of dragging back as you say. Its like a kick boxing half step. However both are fine as you will still be on the line of embusen in the kata. I like the old footage although the bunkai isnt great, personaly I believe there is more Jujutsu type techniques that are hidden within kata.
I'm not familiar with most Japanese terms like keage, but if you're speaking of the transition from move 1 to #2/ repositioning the feet discretely instead of a quick slide, this was preserved in Tang Soo Do & early Taekwon-Do which is still taught in small organizations and private schools.
Has anyone noticed that after the first keage, kanazawa steps up to the next one rather than dragging his foot back as is how it is taught now, does anyone know when this change was made and do other organisations still do it. excellent footage..... thanks

@shatterprone Keage means to snap.
Example :Yoko Kage Geri (side snap kick)
as opposed to yoko kokome geri which mean side thrust kick.
The difference is keage is done without using the hip in thrusting. This is used in situations where speed is more important than power or in close quarters were distance is a factor.
