Chinto Kata | Isshinryu Karate | Steve Miller

*NOTE* [to negative opinions on this kata] I have two different executions when performing my kata; based on whether I'm in the dojo or in competition. In the dojo I do kata in the more strict traditional manner and in competition I do kata as a performance - utilizing more speed and enthusiasm. I believe it's important to stand out from the rest. My instructor taught me to live the kata; not just go through the motions like most karate-ka.

Stances are bleh.

Chinto?

[rellimsevens]

@TonyPstunts - Is it not?

[setboy1]

What is the point of making that sound on every technique that you didn't kiai on?

[rellimsevens]

@setboy1 That "TSSSHH!" noise is my audible breathing so the judges know I'm breathing during the execution of my technique.

[setboy1]

@rellimsevens ok. I always wonder why people did that. Do you do it when you are just working out in the dojo?

[rellimsevens]

@setboy1 yup : ) It's not always as loud though...just depends how much power you decide to put into your kata.

Hey! I Quite enjoyed this performance! I completely understand what you mean about performing differently in front of the judges than in regular training! Don't listen to the haters, they are just jealous of you obvious skill and dedication! Never stop training!

Didn't look exactly like Chinto to me, looks like a different variation of Chinto from other styles, but not Chinto from IsshinRyu. Impressive performance nevertheless! :)

I thought the kata looked okay. This is a kata designed by a kung fu practitioner. But the way it is performed is somewhere in between isshinryu and kung fu. Not quite isshinryu because not in proper order, stance then hand technique. And, not quite kung fu because not quite foot work and hand techniques executed as one. Kinda start stance then near end of transition, execute hands. So I say, in between. Pick one or the other and you definitely will have something better.

I never thought isshinryu could ever be performed in a manner that actually made me want to puke! Im sorry but it looked like that crap they have at all tournements in America. Nothing is sacred any more. Poor IsshinRyu down for the count. Im so sad. Dont get me wrong the kata was ok but it was not designed to be performed in that manner, im sorry but.... sigh...im sad.
