  • Should go up and down with whole body not just upper body movements, if its gone look like an swallow in flight... Otherwise good speed. Hip movements should not be to big, as in real fight you don´t have time for hip movements...

  • Thank you for your comments. I agree with the idea that the stances should change height to complement the "flight of the swallow", but times change as does the criteria of various associations. I'm KUGB by the way.

    Best regards

  • there are times where it is fast or slow.... and the jump well I dont blame you for it... it is a hard jump after all for me too.... But great KATA through.. :)

  • Wow you are fast! but IMHO you need to train the soft parts, and make them more fluid, like a swallow...

  • Your kata are so sharp Paul. I really should come over and train with you to improve my own. I'm only in Builth!

    Love the hand transitions on the double teisho. Shame about the wobble on the jump though that's always a risk with Enpi. How did you do in the end?

  • ele balança um poco no pulo, mas é perfeitoo *-----* noossa ele faz muito beem que inveja (:

  • Indeed the lower grading was related to the final jump...however, the rest of teh kata was adecuate...

  • good job

    unlucky in the jump

    keep workin like that

  • unlucky with jump

  • In a real fight you don't have time for hip movements? Hip movements are where you get the power from! Taffypaul's hip movement on the faster techniques is less obvious in this video than his other enpi clip. It's subtle, but definitely there!

  • Speed wasn't really good, too bad

  • i think that this was one nicly done empi...just got cought a bit of balance by the jump, otherwise it was impresive!

  • ye i agree. Really nice empi!! But a little more hip would do alot for that kata! speed and technique is good tho....a little more focus on the tiger palm techniques would help as well.

    Good job none the less!

  • Somebody can Tell me where T.H.!!! is the HIPS movement?, maybe that part is death in this guy?
