  • I already know that Karate is ALWAYS in one leg.

    Just because Shotokan katas are the modern versions of the Shurite katas, it doesn't always mean that they are easier to perform. Look, I don't want to cause an argument, but it makes more sense to most people that Gankaku is harder to perform because if you think about it, how often do you see someone performing Gankaku in tournaments? I hardly even see anyone perform its original, Chinto.

  • Katada shouldn't have performed Anan in the finals. that kata is very common and its not very challenging. He should have done a much more difficult kata.

see all

  • @orenciojames With respect. The WKF rules state that you have to do Kata on certain levels against certain competitors, they choose for you. Like you can't do UNSU the first round of Kata you would be DQ. The Japanese guy might have run out of options when he got to the final round and had only Anan as a alternative. So it could have been easily a stretegy mistake for Japan. So it could be a possibly that was the only Kata he was ALLOWED to preform. That why most Kata players do 2 or more styles

  • Oh, and at 1:05 the Italian should have been downmarked.

  • Comparing Kata of different Ryu-ha is like comparing apples to onions. Ryuei-ryu and Shotokan are at different ends of the Karate spectrum, so to comment that the Kata of one is more difficult than the other should be seen as purely rhetorical.

  • Sorry, again.I know Gankaku and Aanan is my Kata for finals, as it has been since 1992. And definetely,Gankaku IS EASIER than Aanan.Remember Shotokan katas are much simpler versions of the original Shurite katas.Dude,if you are balance-impaired,sorry.What's the big deal in standing in one leg? Learn a little more Karate,STUDY more then we talk. Let me tell you a secret:Karate is ALWAYS in one leg.One day you'll understand that...

  • What I meant was, Aanan is an easy kata, if you're COMPARING it with Gankaku. Aanan is commonly performed in many competitions, but Gankaku is rarely performed because of its difficulty, which is the balancing part. Katada shouldn't have performed that kata. He knew it's the final round. He should have performed the hardest kata he knows, at least that more or less equal to the difficulty of Gankaku.

  • Katada's Aanan is the original Ryuei Ryu Kata, not a Shito Ryu version. Easy? Hehehehe!

    Try it, then!

  • ......Pretty......

  • great man!!!!!!!!!!!
