Excellent version
Shorin Ryu at it's absolute finest. Thank you Sensei!
Great!
when explaining a bunkai, or you know the original and correct version well, or it is better to avoid. the bunkai contains a series of elements that emerge when it is used. if the bunkai is not well explained those elements do not emerge and cannot be transmitted. therefore pay attention to those who say they know kata.
mr.
is this simbol on your do-gi your own association?
The size of the knuckles of this guy...
Q:side step;why step in front of standing leg when the rear leg whants to ,forward?
You are not looking at the kata correctly, you are not stepping to the side you are really stepping forward and behind your opponent. The Kata is for practice of principles and refinement of movement, to understand how to use the kata cannot be done by looking at the kata but by workmen with a partner and knowing how it works. and that is something that you learn from a competent teacher.
Shorinji ryu
where is the kiai
Where ever you like. Kiai is not mandatory and it is over emphasized today. You can do Kata and not have a kiai. Would you do a Kiai if you are practicing your Kata at 3 in the morning when your wife and kids are asleep?
wait this is shotokan right sensie?
+Dinzel Walker-Smith I don't think so... usually shotokan has deeper stances.
Awesome performance
