I dont pretend to be any form of expert in karate even though ive studied traditional jka shotakan karate for over 35 years. I still strive to achieve this form of hara, an unbelievable center of balance and realaxation when needed. Its taken me years and still striving to perfect the true fundaments of karate, i.e some books will refer to has and call karate basics, though this is a black belt kata, the basics for me are so strong and enhanced through Sensei Kawasoe's kata. Toatal perfection.

@kirtorn : how come you become a black and you stil don't know the ceremony? did you not passed brown belt?

I think the lighting in this video is very poor. Kawasoe Sensei is practically in the dark.

@fartface0469 Kawasoe was Kanazawa's kohai in JKA, also assisted when Kanazawa was in England (before Kanazawa split).

Wow, talk about lots of focus!

Don't doit like this guy his kata lacks in many different areas. He lacks fluidity, balance and strength in some places when his heel comes up. Not overly bad but not anything you want to try to be like, look up Kanawaza he's got a good Bassai.
