the only word to describe this kata is...terrifying...i think that this is one of the best example of the hikken hissatsu principle showed in a kata...Kase sensei should not have died :(

No fuss, no aesthetic cuteness like some wannabee dancing stylists?: pure raw power, awesome straight fighting efficiency. Great!

Wow!!!!!!

@christianbrecht You are rigth about the leaning forward thing but it turns that is not as important as most people believe, because there's plenty of evidence of Kase being a *superb* karateka (ask any master who trained with Kase). He always said that "efectiveness over technique" so, there's no such thing as "proper technique" for a master that level, but his own. His way was to lean forward, and he perfected his karate that way.

@christianbrecht The question of the butt sticking out / leaning too far forward wasn't important \in the old days. Kase did not start with the JKA or Takushoku University, but with the honbu dojo, under the eyes of both Gigo and Gichin Funakoshi. He was still slender at that time (see Harry Cook's Shotokan: A Precise History, there's a picture of him when he got his Shodan). JKA English narrated videos show everyone (Enoeda, Asai, etc) doing oi-tsuki with the upper body leaning forward.

@christianbrecht When he does his last punch, where is he looking at ? LOL

@christianbrecht

Guess you have been practicing karate-do for a long time. Then you should recognize the term of " Spirit before technique". If not - it´s sad. Try Harder!

[christianbrecht]

But I notice this even in videos of a young Kase Sensei. It became his bad habit.

[Matakoshi]

You try training when you're in your 80s and not stick your ass out. No matter how much you train or how fit you are, eventually your body will start to deteriorate and stances will be harder to hold. It very difficult to hold a good kibadachi even when you're young and flexible. Look at the kata again and realise its performed superbly by a great man rich in both years and experience. His posture might be a little corrupted, but his technique, and most importantly his spirit, is still superb.

[christianbrecht]

his butt sticks out and he leans forward.

respect respect sure, but I think mistakes should be called mistakes even if done by those regarded as masters.
