Is this Nakayam Sensei in his youth? Because there are a few other series of kata with Nakayama sensei performing bunkai for a few other katas.

excellent snap kicks....that's how gankaku should be performed, not the high side thrust kicks..

thanks, that´s a good old kata karate. I like to see good and energy karate, before the modern way kill the live of the people with the "perfect form".

@Kinghercules To prevent such a catastrophe from ever happening again, the King banned weapons, and comissioned his bodyguards to create a deadly martial art to enforce the peace. Karate is all about brutal power, and designed to be cold blooded, to create an intimidation factor, namely difuse fights before they even begin. That is like cops being armed with a Magnum .500 revolver instead of a .45. Armed with a magnum .500 most crooks would think twice before starting fire fights with cops.

@Kinghercules no never, and that is a damned shame. As a martial art Karate had the noblest of origins. Did you know that in the 300's A.D., the Ryukyan kingdoms of Okinawa fought a disastrous civil war, that devastated 90% of the Island chain's population? Okinawan tradition holds that the "victorious" king infamously said "victory? I won a grave yard." Okinawan legend has it, it took 20 years for the living to bury the dead.

Have you heard of a kata called Sa Bang Kwon? Thats the Korean name but I was told that it came from Okinawa. My teacher trained under Toyama Kanken and its one of the forms he taught us. Ive never been able to find any info on its origin.

WOW!

continued for Utah; their original okinawan form, that is, minus the more unpleasant moves. Okinawan Karate is ruthlessly cold blooded; Gichin Funakoshi removed a lot of techniques such as eye gouges, throat strikes, and even the incredibly dangerous palm strike. Being a Daoist, he took all of the original Okinawan styles he learned lethal moves, and left only a simpler, more "compassionate" version of the Karate he was taught.

If you are interested in an in-deph manual of the old, original Katas, you should purchase the book "25 Shotokan Kata" by Shojiro Sugiyama and his students. Sugiyama was a student of the late Hidetaka Nishiyama back in Japan who, in turn, was a student of Gichin Funakoshi. In other words the manual has no modern day JKA alterations; it shows the Kata in their original Okinawan form, as Funakoshi originally taught them.

Where and when did these old kata videos come from? Is there a dvd with all of them or anything like that?
