Here's the third video of me taking my Black Belt Exam in Shotokan Karate. I took and passed my test on Saturday, June 21st, 2008. For more karate content and other martial arts material, check out http://www.PaulGaleNetwork.com
some constructive critics if you don't mind. it seems to me that your weak spot are the kicks, i would say you are making to much force with your arms, try and relax your arms when kicking. also try and make your kicks have a longer reach especialy your mawashi geri, to do that first try and relax your upper body and try and use your hips much in the same way as when you do gyaku tsuki. also try and keep your torso more upright.
