Timing, Rhythm, Kime, direction in power coming from your stances are all wrong. You have potential but you need an instructor who understands real traditional karate who can point out all of your faults and build from the bottom up.

You wouldn't get past the first round of a JKA All Japan tournament.

Seek out schools. You can find excellent instructors.

Good Luck.

Ilanosdesignz - would you be so kind to show us how it's supposed to be done?

It's the best Shotokan Gojushiho Sho performance I've ever seen; kibadachi to die for! I really like the rhythm - slower than usual, very feminine, but with a lot of power. I am learning this kata right now and I definitely will use Mina's performance for fine tuning.

@JackdawTree - I agree that's it a good kata. Personally I'm sick & tired of seeing people either rush or take an eternity with kata, so I'm with you on the tempo too. There are comments below about the tate shuto needing to start from the shoulder. I can't speak about Ryobukai but SKIF do them from the shoulder (on top of the arm) & JKA do them from under the arm. No big deal. If you are interested in top shelf kata try Googling JKA Gojushiho Sho, where there are some even better kata.

To Jackdaw Tree, actually, this is not a great performance. Don't get me wrong, there is much to praise the performer for her performance but, a glaring error in the first two Tate Shuto Uke, they should start from over the shoulder, not under the arm. A good performance yes, but if the best you've ever seen, then i suggest you open your eyes a little :-)

One of the best performances...well balance stances and well define postures and blocks with great definitions between slow-fast movements...Congratulations!

Wait a min.....how come she didnt make any sound effects or a lot of screaming like they do in America?
