what about the other categories finals?

[aleg01]

I'm sorry, but I only recorded the finals in male and female kata...

Dear Catbane,

for your info, Chatanyara Kushanku is a Shito-ryu kata.

And by the way, Shito-ryu doesn't have kiba-dachi. Sarah was doing shiko dachi.

P.S. Her shiko dachi were fine.

Egyptian definately ^_^

sarah is the best and she must win 10-0 and i enjoy when i watch her​performance especially in chatanyra and anan

[cheekusri143]

hey dude!!!

i thought the winner will be aka but ao

how ??

i think that is due to higher kata(her kick is not powerful and vigorous)

but chatanyara is my favourite than annan

antonio diaz does this kata in 2006 and that was my favourite always

Se nota que eres de Mejico. Probablemente de Jalisco porque Jalisco nunca pierde y si pierde arrebata.

MABEL HIZO UNA MEJOR KATA.

[openmicsurgery]

both of these girls are awesome. sick kata's. i enjoyed watching both of them in vegas.

[kristykreamkream]

i like most the aka but just who knows

[Catbane]

They both have many flaws. Aka missed the meaning of KIME and basic technique of such as her kicks....

Ao is not perfect neither, her dachi need more work. Obviously she is Shito ryu performing a Shotokan kata. Kiba, kokuchi dachi was not right....

They are 50/50 and the main factor aka lost the match is not getting the rhythm right for the kata and AO got away with her flaws....NO referee want to see a slow and boring performance.

Sara you are awesome. And all of us in SSKA in London think so too. Well done. We are so proud of you
