read his book, 'ki and the way of the martial arts' and it explains his angle to practicing martial arts ;) basically, HE feels that the modern way of practicing karate doesnt particularly cater for developing superior amounts of ki. He really reveres kendo as a way of developing ki in modern martial arts and the soft chinese styles like tai chi etc. His style is a sort of jeet kune do for a system that develops ki using various martial arts. His book is a very interesting read !

but in first kata I saw just okinawan karate.but at the end I saw kata which is not from karate...it is like tai chi chuan..but just katas are having some kung fu style...but kumite principle is from karate,but it looks like sport kumite..there is not anything from okinawan karate...no kyusho(kick in vital spots on body), there is no TODOME wase (the last technique whicht kills opponent.),so some katas are like okinawan, but in kumite there is no deadly techniques..so what do u practise?

I think it has nothing to do with kung fu shaolin....it is written shaolin monk maybe bcs he is practising karate very seriously..his kata reminds me of goju ryu 70 percent and shorin ryu 30 percent....it si like some old okinawan karate style like naha-te, tomari-te or shuri-te...in kata there are all karate punches....and bunkai is all from karate...I am shure that this is okinawan karate....maybe mixed between styles, but it is shure mixed with okinawan karate styles....very good...OSU!

seeing it just by the first seconds makes me say: I don't like it.

but just for information, what are precisely the characteristics of his style?

[gcpreda]

5:18 is done very very well, as representative of his approach.

I'm reading his book, an edit of Miyamoto Musashi's The Book of Five Rings.

he's pretty fluid. i get the moves, he has some karate stiffness, but kung fu fluidity as well. whereby i see elements of baji chuan, and deflective/redirective tactics.  very interesting.

i really like this karate is useful but like all other martial arts it is a art that can be used martialy , its not the martial art its the man tha uses it :)

I wrote to you in French THREE WEEKS AGO because you said that you could understand French.

Obviously, you're just a big liar.
