Hard to watch.

This is not to be taken as a standard training and practice of Meikyo. And if anyone thinks that this is what Isaka Sensei does for his actual performance of Meikyo is ignorant. This is supplementary training to generate power, balance and kime. Standard speed of shotokan kata do not allow to for generating these elements beyond a superficial level. This is what you do when you want to perfect your kata

Es war einmal ein Hase mit einer roten Nase und einem blauen Ohr. Das kommt ganz selten vor. Die Tiere wunderten sich sehr: Wo kam denn dieser Hase her? Er hat im Gras gesessen und still den Klee gefressen. Und als der Fuchs vorbeigerannt, hat er den Hasen nicht anerkannt. Da freute sich der Hase. "Wie schön ist meine Nase und auch mein blaues Ohr, das kommt so selten vor."

I think it's safe to say this is like Shojiro Sugiyama's KI training. An addon they find helpful, not the whole deal.

Deadguy29, youtube doesn't allow me to post a direct link, but search for "isaka kanku" on youtube to see him years ago doing regular forms.

oops! i meant training both times [lol]

picture what it would add to your training buy having the same effectiveness while exhorting half the effort. This is only a glimpse of what internal traing can do for you. Also the train Sensei Akihito is demonstrating rebuilds the muscles and posture that was damage through the earlier more vigorous training in youth.

in all of the martial arts as the masters advance in years they begin to realize that practicing proper internalization is the key to retaining youth and perfecting their art. When we are young like me and you are at this point we see the importance of strong technique and proper form but the truth my friend is the excitement and vigor from external practice that builds our muscles and response impulses is the same process that destroys our muscles and posture over a period of years.
