Dear Aiko Sama: Sensei discredited by you are over 60 years old, and most began training before the age of 10... meaning they've been training for over 50 years... I hope your mutsubi dachi is still ok after being training for 50 or in the case of Yagi Meitoku Dai Sensei, for over 70 years... I really hope we all be performing kata before an audience at age 90... I find your critisism very harsh, especially on teachers that we are not worthy to talk about... respect and humbleness my friend...

meitatsu yagi teaches my karate class from time to time and we visit his dojo in okinawa occationally. its awesome

Where does Sanchin-Tensho come from? I have seen the combination before. But I am wondering if it was from Dai Sensei Yagi Meitoku or from Meitatsu Sensei's contribution. Also, I recall the last two movements being done differently - one from Shujaku and one from Genbu endings. Perhaps that was done here and I missed it? As for the gray hair, I have also not seen Meitatsu Sensei in more than 15 years...then again, I'm looking older too, haha. Many thanks for posting the vid!

@ArukiI Truth be told...he may have been practicing for over fifty years but if his performance on this kata is not good then their is a logical reason why. I have seen other videos of him and he looks excelent. So maybe this performance is showing some underlying health problem...

Oops. My mistake. He trained with his father. Still, my other comments remain.

Wow, to be able to comment on the strength or weakness of the stance of a 10th degree black belt who trained with Miyagi Chojun. You must be at least, what? 15th?  20th degree black belt?

I havent insulted Meitoku Yagi Sensei. Wht I told is he and meitesu both has bead stances. Tht s all and I dont get bkmy words, coz wht i told is truth. and deep bow to whole Yagi family

[Uminchuu]

He spent a lifetime training and honing his skills...so much so, that he was recognized for his achievements and awarded the title of a Japanese National living treasure! So show some respect where it is due! He more than earned it...God rest his soul.

And again, as I told you in that other post, that is the "Truth" as you see it. As individuals, we all have our own perseptions (or truths) as to what works (and what doesn't work).

Are you honestly basing your "truth" about a founder of a system on one video posted on youtube?! Give some concrete, valid, (and unbiased) facts to back up your so-called "truth" about Dai Sensei Yagi, and his supposed weak stances.
