Excellent performance! Thanks for posting.

BTW would you know what "style"/who her teacher is? Thanks.

[KARATEbyJesse]

@ranta70

Sorry, all I know is that she's from the Shuri High School Karate Club, and practises Shorin-ryu

I'm not a big fan of tournament performances, but her skill is incredible. I'd love to see a video of her simply doing the form.

This is a very close to the Shobayashi version.　松林? Oh, by the way, the bickering below shows how little exposure you have to life. The "this is/is not the way I learned it" argument is testimony to the ignorance of the recognition that the only constant in life is change.  All these students of Kyan formed their own styles, but they all had the same Sensei!!!

So! The truth is that the only authentic style is tempered in the spirit. Otherwise, this is the banter of semantics that fuels war.

Great kata, thanks for sharing

This isn't a style I'm familiar with, but it is executed beautifully!!

[radamateur]

Not the Chinto kata I'm familiar with, but a nicely executed jumping snap kick.

@ryukuykenpo74 THEN we agree! As I already stated it is Matsu but with modifications.

[ryukuykenpo74]

@jiggahippo You can disagree if you wish ,But this is not the way you would learn this kata in the dojo , Only if you are entering W.K.F comp's would you do this version , Nagamine sensei didn't show you this way in his dojo. Technique has been Modified for comp's,That's what i was pointing out, Thanks for your comment

[jiggahippo]

@ryukuykenpo74 I disagree. This is Matsubayashi Ryu, it is just performed at a modified rate of speed and Kime but the techniques are all Mastu! I have been in Matsu and tarined with Nagamine both father and son for 33 years and have seen many school use the kata's but change timming and speed.
