@loolooface

Well Looloo, I would think that someone with your alleged qualifications would have more respect than you are displaying.

@Jeremey71

sigh....

I show respect in my club, in my everyday life

but seeing people who put so little effort into such a beautiful form of art just....

upsets me

I have dedicated my life to karate and have been doing it for 24 years now

I just feel that some people give a bad name to karate, and i've not worked 7 days a week for almost my entire life for a sport that produces forms and katas that are of this bad a quality

@loolooface

Is this not your everyday life? I work hard as well to improve myself through karatedo. And, I am also disappointed with how many sport oriented karateka have made a farce of karate. All I'm saying is I simply don't comment when I see something I disagree with in order to display the statesmanship I feel a true martial artist should express. I respect opinions that are respectfully put forth : 0 ) It's nice to see you have such passion.

I dont remember saying anything about it belonging to any particular style...

I studied and received my Black Belt in Shobayashi Shorin Ryu while living in Japan under Sensei Takahishi Inaba, and Dai Sensei Nakama Haruka. As with anything else perfection comes with years of practice. I have been studying for 32 years and am still learning. Just because you are a Black Belt does not make you an expert. There is always room to improve. OSU!!

I really think it's funny to read the negative comments. I mean this guy had the balls to put the video up. Everyone is going to do it slightly different and no one should be bashing it because of it. I thought that Martial artists were supposed to be open minded.

@darrinj1969 Thanks for your input. Just to set the record straight this is my sensei performing kata, not me. Also, in his younger days he won kata, kumite, and weapons display in tournaments.

Thats some Baby-San movement. I'm a shodan and I know this exact kata and I don't move like a robot. You throw your punches with your shoulder. Your centerline is completely open. The lower half of your body doesn't even move with your arms. YOu are comepletely disconnected energetically the entire time. My only question for you is why did you mess up my kata

[Sandokai7]

Let me agree: this performance of Seisan is poor, and I would suggest atypical of a Shorin Ryu black belt. However, the kata is definitively Shobayashi Shorin-Ryu, and the pattern consistent with those taught to me directly by O'Sensei Shimabukuro (Okinawa 1963).
