Alex Dingmann demonstrates form at the Earl Brown Heritage Center, July 31, 2010. Mr. Dingmann, an instructor with National Karate at the school in Edina, Minnesota, is testing for Black Belt, Fifth Degree.
@cocopelli34 I would agree that this is true in the case of traditional forms, but I also think it's obvious that Mr. Dingmann wasn't trying to perform a traditional kata. A lot of these techniques were not even around when kata were originally developed. This form is mostly for show, which is fine; it just means that there will be misunderstandings like this, in which one person believes this to be an attempt at a creative spin on traiditinoal martial arts, when it's really just a performance
I THINK THIS MAN IS GREAT, AS A 7TH DEGREE I THINK THE KATA SHOULD GO MUCH SLOWER AND FINISH EACH MOVE, LOOK AT MY WEB SITE AND U WILL SEE WHAT I MEAN, MASTER JOHN LENGYEL, ONE OF THE FASTEST PUNCHERS IN THE WORLD
keep trying one day you will make it
