i dont believe nijushiho is new. in fact i'm pretty sure it's an old chinese form

Interesting, different timing than I've seen before. I wish I could see Okazaki Sensei perform it and compare, apparently this is his favorite kata. Thanks for the video.

@jippzmcghee I know you posted this 3 years ago, but just to let you know (if you still haven't completed your research), the original Okinawan name of Nijushiho is Niseishi. You could look it up on you tube and make a comparison, for your own amusement.

nijushiho comes from the shrin ryu kata ni sei shi

Nakayama Sensei said that Asai Sensei was THE ONLY ONE who could perform Nijushiho correctly. That means a lot! Who am I to disagree? Timing, form, stances, kime, fluidity... everything as should be! I´m trying to do it for 30 years... still not there.

@orel1996 This is THE way to do this kata imho.

[orel1996]

Hmm.. This is excellent, no question, but I learned some parts a little different from my sensei. Relatively small things but still.. Maybe this is just the old style?

Ossu.

Thanks for the comments. Thats actually Master ASAI doing that kata. I believe if you look around in YouTube, you will find him perfomring this kata in the 1960's in BW, and he does it the same way. No theatrics.

la mejor kata hecha por uno de los mejores karatekas XD

Quite funny: the more recent the kata, the more theatralic they become.
