  • Very good performance! Oss

  • @johnbsan The problem is that in many cases the Kata is changed so that it "looks" sharper for the sake of competitions or whatnot. Changes like the timings and even starting locations of the techniques (think Hiyan-nidan and how it is practiced now compared to the period towards the late 90s) in my opinion, take away some of what is the Kata supposed to do. The Kata is supposed to be the prep/theory which is why it can, sometimes, look questionable when it is being performed perfectly.

  • @xxfalcon14xx No disrespect to your young years, but I think this performace has more in it than many of the more modern interpretations of this kata. I have trained with Yahara Sensei and have been taught this kata by him. He is a master of this kata. He won the All Japan Championships with this kata back in 1984 and came 2nd several times before that. His philosophy of one hit one kill comes across very much in his performance of kata, which is as it should be, in that kata and kumite are one!

  • @karatefella

    His reputation is not an excuse to derail all criticism.  However, this particular video is pretty great. Of course, it's the form he's famous for.

  • I can't believe people are negatively criticizing Sensei Yahara's UNSU !!

  • Search scnelind and my channel of videos will come up and there are a bunch of videos of me (eric) doing this kata..... There are also kumite fights in there too.

  • ok im 15 years old and he probably has but that kata is not perfect i have seen better form

  • Please post your kata before critiquing Yahara Sensei's kata. He was winning championships probably before you were born.

  • it's only a training video to show others the whole kata.  and you can't expect people with his physiality to just higher then they can. they probely recorded this 20 times before they got the video they wanted
