Kanazawa Sensei has the most deceptively powerful techniques of any of the Japanese instructors with whom I have trained (14.) I observed him put his fist through a chunk of wooden beam and also shatter a makiwara; yet his movements are smooth & economical. Also, his mind is quick and strategic rather than simply aggresive. More imortantly, his character & behavior are superior to many, including some who post here.

"karate" to czas stracony kotry pozostawia po sobie wyrwe w psychice. Gdy dokladamy wschodnia tzw filozofie to nieswiadomie wchodzimy w bagno ktore predzej czy pozniej nas pociagnie i stad w srod instr. karate mamy rozwody, alkocholizm, rekoczyny, chamskie zachowanie, wchodzenie w uklady z tzw polswiatkiem. O wzroscie adrenaliny i tego konsekwencjach nie wspomne. Rozwalone stawy, inst. skloceni - jeden kopie pod drugim itd. itp. a na koniec siada psychika.

I met Sensei Kanazawa late 1980's and can say he is one of the best and technically strong masters of his era. He graded me when I was a 7th Kyu. Nobody took their eyes of him when he demonstrated the Kata's.

Absolutely fantastic.

@HOHORUS

This rendition of Tekki Shodan is quite old and sensei Kanazawa was a lower grade at the time (4th or 5th Dan I think). The fact that you did not consider the time factor of this recording, renders your statement fallacious.

@HOHORUS The clearest distinction which accents the point I'm making can be seen when the kata performance of Funakoshi himself (tekki performance on you tube) is compared to Kanazawa's kata. In truth, to say which is "better" is always arguable because beauty always lies in the eyes of the beholder. However, the difference between the two is evidence of the "progression" I'm talking about. Another example: current boom in MMA has Shotokan dojos rethinking kata practice.

@HOHORUS Also, I know you mean no disrespect, but its kind of unfair to compare Kanazawa to Osaka sensei. You have to understand, Kanazawa was more than a decade senior to Osaka when he was still in the JKA. Kanazawa's style is born from the original JKA early 50's to mid 60's flavor. By the 70's, Osaka's generation, JKA Karate had evolved based on experience of JKA instructors teaching a decade earlier. If you study Kagawa's (late 70's to mid 80's) style, it is a progression from Osaka's.
