@gojuryu. I am aware that this video is Kururunfa — it's one of my favorites. And this is a very nice performance of it. In my post, I was replying to another post in this thread by Kinghercules, when I mentioned Kanku (he was referring to a video—elsewhere—of the late, great Shuseki-Shihan William Oliver's Kanku, but he referred to it as Kusanku). Thanks, anyway!

@senseiruss This is Kururunfa, not Kanku nor Kusanku

[ThusReliable]

what belt level is this kata? or degree?

[senseiruss]

@Kinghercules

Shuseki-Shihan Oliver is doing "Kanku", (from Kyokushin) not Kusanku, though they may be similar. I agree, though, his kata is great! It actually looks and feels like it could be a real fight! Osu.

@utiirahma - Well I think I have the answer. As someone who has scored gold medals for kata on more than one occasion, I have concluded that it all comes down to how bad the opposition is or how poor the judges are. For the best results of course a combination of the two is best. Sad but true :-(

Mind you, I'm not about to return my medals anytime soon ;-)

Ego is it's own reward.

@BelloBudo007 True, dude. I wonder how can she got silver medal since the moves are too slow. It's way better to see her with fast and powerful actions.

[BelloBudo007]

I'm sorry but for me this kata is too labored. It's good to be soft but it desperately needs contrast with some dynamic fast actions. The gedan geri, hips twists and upper cut are just too slow. How the hell did she manage a Silver Medal?

amigo el siko dachi esta muy bien hecho esta la posicion baja tiene buena postura y el zenkutzo dachi estoy de acuerdo le falta estirar la rodilla de atras y poder bajar mas su posicion pero para mi nada mas por ese detalle es un exelente kata

Esto lo puedo percibir por que soy cinta negra en Karate do.

cualquier comentario te dejo mi correo

bonito el kata con sus dificultades obvias, creo que el shiko dachi debe ser mas correcto hecho, mas bajo , lo mismo que el zenkutzo dachi,

La posiciòn bièn hecha hace todo mas veloz y con mas fuerza y peso, pasando a un estado de libre movimiento natural.

La cadera adelante pero no tanto. un poquito si, para marcar territorio.

@ShotokanBleach

Well you have to keep in mind that TaeKwonDo came from TangSooDo which came from Japan. They did create some different katas for TKD in the late 50's but the old school masters that trained in Japan (like mines) disregarded those katas they made up and taught the old Okinawan katas.
