Hmm interesting. Reminds me of more shito katas I've seen with a few more zenkutsu dachis added in. What is the lineage of this kata out of curiousity?

[orbelus]

This kata was created by Sensei Asai, Shotokan 9ª Dan, chief instructor of Japan Karate-do Shotorenmei

@IEKUKATAKA 20 years? In which case I will bow to that level of knowledge, I'm not stupid enough to argue with a sensei, I had assumed that you were closer to 1 KYU, However as a parting comment, for I have no intention of getting into a long debate, I would like to quote my sensei in "Kihon Karate and Kata have great importance, and can be applied to self-defense, however, if you are jumped in an alleyway, and must fight, you won't have the time, nor the focus to execute perfect technique."

[IEKUKATAKA]

@Pivotdiddyx I would never deny that tournaments are helpful for some. That is not the intent in martial arts, the intent is benefit for all that practice. Remember, I taught this junk for over 20 years and it is abundantly clear to me that the tournament successful are the better athlete and are so in a controlled environment of deluded techniquues. The far better preparation is a total combat focus and study and in the absence of anything that corrupts it. Okinawan karate is just that way.

@IEKUKATAKA I am a 2 KYU in shotokan karate, and while i agree with most that you said, i have to dissagree on one point, Tournaments can provide a useable source of knowledge for defense, I have seen for myself to many times fellow karateka that had practiced longer than I have (some were already sho-dan) and hadn't had a single taste of combat, as soon as they got into a fight, they were destroyed, with tournaments, you can get a feel for an actual fight, which i found out myself.

@toru315 this is not a shotokan kata it was created by someone after the death of Gichin Funakoshi and his son and is not considered cannon teaching material for shotokan by the JKA or the WKF

Osu. This is Scott Langley sensei of JKS. Very skilled and brilliant karateka. Thank you for sharing!

Typische kihon kata ,Techniken werden in vier verschiedene Richtungen gemacht, 3,4 dan kihon , man erkennt basai dai und unsu auch nijusiho ,alle Stellungen Shotokan schöne übungs- kata

[IEKUKATAKA]

Obvious Asai kata. He was a visionary yet an eccentric. This kata is filled with unlikely techniques. As I understand he was concerned with the lack of dexterity he saw. Well, dexterity is one thing and teaching a martial art is another. The JKA and the vast majority of it's students have lost a martial focus and concentrate now on sports and theatrics. Defense requires knowledge of reliable techniques and tactics. Tournaments and theatrics do not produce that.

To all of You!

This Kata and many other that aren't Shotokan as you think were created by late Asai Sensei and are practiced in JKS.
