This YouTube channel is dedicated to the kata transmitted by Toyama Kanken and his student Ichikawa Isao.
For me, kata practice and the transmission of kata are deeply personal experiences that belong in the direct relationship between teacher and student. I do not believe that kata can—or should—be learned from videos alone.
Nevertheless, this channel will occasionally present recordings of my own practice as well as historical footage. These materials are shared as references for research, documentation, and further study by others who are engaged in serious kata research.
