Absolutely incredible! That is a black belt kata! Straight back, solid strikes, deep stance.

He is a really nice guy. I have met him before. He is my sensei's main sensei.

I "love" how a bunch of teenagers & a few 20 year old know-it-alls are commenting on how one of the most respected masters has poor technique.

Richard Rabago has been doing martial arts since maybe the late 1940's and holds black belts in both shotokan & shorin-ryu. Not sure what rank he held in the video, but he currently holds a 7th dan in shorin-ryu.

Before you comment on how someone is performing a kata incorrectly, remember that not every dojo does a single kata the same way!

@Keike3 agree just because its Naihanchi shodan kata desnt mean its Kempo etc every style does kata a little different

[mrthebillman]

Wow, and to think he never had a single lesson!

never seen a naihanshi shodan like that but having energy in a kata is good but the moves are made too fast you have to take your time to make the moves correcly and i don't say the moves are not good but some are still to practiss.
