Please teach us where you would put the second kiai, Master?

The jump in Meikyo is a little bit different than other jumps, it is backwards

Na verdade não houve equívoco, um sensei em específico (Kanazawa) fez o Meikyo com o age uke. Por isso você ve as duas versões... E o morote gedan barai se encontra em 1:25 do vídeo

И. Касека может лучше))) Радует, что выступает. Огромные молодцы ребята.

Depende da escola

If he is a fifth Dan I'm immortal

Christoph F. Strnadl thank you for your comments. However, can you please check JKA kata standardization in Nakayama's Best Karate?

WITH JKA IS IN THE FRONT. Other shotokan organizations do it to the left(JKA use to do it that way, not anymore. you can see this link OGURA SHIHAN TEACHING; ua-cam.com/video/M_thK5puXsk/v-deo.html

MEIKYO Meikyo is a kata based on one of Yasutsune Itosu's versions of Rohai (Vision of a Heron). Meikyo is most often translated as "Bright Mirror" or "Polished Mirror," perhaps alluding to the beginning of the kata, when the hands are held up in front of one's face as if looking into a mirror. The kata also contains several duplicate, or "mirroring techniques," for example: the opposing directions of the two sets of gedan-barai and oi-zuki; the pair of bo-uke & bo-dori combinations; and the double ura-zuki, which is an example of two identical techniques performed at the same time (in essence, mirroring each other). Meikyo is considered to be a highly advanced kata yet, for the most part, does not involve any effortful techniques. It has 33 counts and matches Wankan for having only one kiai (#32) instead of the normal two (although some karateka have been known to kiai on move #24 as well). Most of the kata's movements consist of beginner and intermediate level techniques. The advanced sankaku-tobi, or "triangle jump," is the kata's trademark and is said to impart spectacular powers to those who understand its true meaning. However, as jumps go in Shotokan, sankaku-tobi is arguably the easiest (not easy) jump to perform. The only other potentially difficult techniques include the odd angle of entry when executing the bo-uke, followed by the twisting of the hips for bo-dori-sonomama. Being a more simple and humble kata, Meikyo is not a very popular tournament kata. The true goal of Meikyo lies in the correction of one's most basic techniques to the point of perfection, allowing for a smooth and effortless kata. Often, Meikyo is favored by seasoned veterans of karate since it is not overly strenuous yet it still possesses enough advanced techniques to challenge older and higher level karateka. Meikyo is a kata of self-reflection and introspection, sometimes even being interpreted as meaning "Mirror to the Soul." As karateka mature, they must continually reflect on their technique, searching inward for change and improvement. Looking outward or to others is for beginners. Having little flair, Meikyo is a kata for those who feel no need to prove themselves. It is not a kata to impress; it is about the self, not others. # Technique Translation Stance Target Notes 1 ryoken-ryokoshi-kamae both fists on both hips posture kiba-dachi -- slow speed 2 ryosho-kakiwake-uke both palms wedge block kiba-dachi chudan slow speed 3 gedan-barai down block zenkutsu-dachi gedan 4 oi-zuki lunge punch zenkutsu-dachi chudan 5 gedan-barai down block zenkutsu-dachi gedan 6 oi-zuki lunge punch zenkutsu-dachi chudan 7 ryosho-bo-uke both palms stick block kokutsu-dachi jodan slow speed 8 bo-oshikomi stick push-thrust fudo-dachi -- yori-ashi 9 bo-oshikomi-sonomama stick thrust as is hizakutsu (ashi-zenkutsu) -- 10 ryoken-ryokoshi-kamae both fists on both hips posture kiba-dachi -- slow speed 11 gedan-barai down block zenkutsu-dachi gedan 12 oi-zuki lunge punch zenkutsu-dachi chudan 13 gedan-barai down block zenkutsu-dachi gedan 14 oi-zuki lunge punch zenkutsu-dachi chudan 15 ryosho-bo-uke both palms stick block kokutsu-dachi jodan slow speed 16 bo-oshikomi stick push-thrust fudo-dachi -- yori-ashi 17 bo-oshikomi-sonomama stick thrust as is hizakutsu (ashi-zenkutsu) -- 18 ryoken-ryokoshi-kamae both fists on both hips posture kiba-dachi -- slow speed 19 uchi-uke inside block zenkutsu-dachi chudan 20 oi-zuki lunge punch zenkutsu-dachi chudan 21 uchi-uke inside block zenkutsu-dachi chudan 22 oi-zuki lunge punch zenkutsu-dachi chudan 23 kentsui-uchi-mawashi-uchi inside hammer-fist strike kiba-dachi chudan 24 mikazuki-geri crescent kick ashi-dachi chudan 25 ryoken-kakiwake-uke both fists wedge block kokutsu-dachi gedan 26 haiwan-uke / zenwan-hitae-kamae back of arm block / forearm forehead posture kokutsu-dachi jodan jodan 27 haiwan-uke / zenwan-hitae-kamae back of arm block / forearm forehead posture kokutsu-dachi jodan jodan 28 ryoken-kakiwake-uke both fists wedge block zenkutsu-dachi gedan slow speed 29 ryoken-kakiwake-uke both fists wedge block kokutsu-dachi chudan 30 ryoken-ura-zuki both fists inverted punch kokutsu-dachi jodan yori-ashi 31 age-uke rising block kokutsu-dachi jodan yori-ashi variation 32* sankaku-tobi / hiji-uchi & shuto-uke triangle jump / elbow strike & knife-hand block -- kokutsu-dachi -- chudan KIA 33 shuto-uke knife-hand block kokutsu-dachi chudan

I would like to see your kata performance on youtube. It is pretty easy to critique others who had the courage to post theirs. Some self-critique may help all you nay-sayers.

If that's all you can see that is wrong you also have massive room for improvement
