Just learning this one and it's proving hard. As an autistic martial artist this kata is the hardest one I've learned so far. Humbly grateful for this video and the help! Thankyou so much.
You really explain these better than the other people out there. While I continue to review my forms as I am just getting back into this after 18 years, you can be sure you played a role in my kata reeducation thank you sir.
Learning this for my brown belt. I have the basic form pretty much dialed in, now I just need to fine tune it, get my movements snappy and powerful, and learn the kiai points! Thank you for your videos, and your time. Hope you’re well, Sensei!
I forgot most of my kata's because I left karate for 7 years and just started again so I need some serious caughting up to do. Thanks for these video's they will help in my training.
Learning katas and perfecting the katas are two different things. There are katas that'll take you years to master especially as you move up in rank. Even heian sho-dan; while the moves are basic, it can still take years to absolutely master. You seem to have strong goals though and that's always good.
i guess Im asking randomly but does someone know a trick to log back into an instagram account..? I was dumb lost my login password. I would appreciate any tricks you can offer me
@Aron James Thanks for your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@ Simplicitas White belt? I think they only do the Kihon Kata at white belt, and maybe the Heian Shodan as well, but I don't think they do Tekki at this stage. A white belt ie beginner needs a lot of training to condition his arms and legs movements. He's certainly not ready for the more advanced katas.

One of my favourite katas, of those I remember. If memory serves me right, it's been 20 years after all, bassai dai and kanku dai (please excuse any spelling errors) were also a lot of fun and I love that our sensei instructed us in katas well beyond our grades.
@@mr.karate7996 not really active since the club was closed. And most of my time is spent elsewhere. I do occasionally go through simple routines and refresh my memory regarding the basic katas but Tekki Shodan is the only one I've done full tilt at home. It all comes back rather quickly though for some of it it's not a matter of what move is supposed to be performed or how that move is supposed to be performed but rather actually performing them as I'm far less flexible after so many years of not doing karate.
Great tutorial and excellent camera work. Your videos are about the best on UA-cam. I'm trying to learn 7 kata per year to have all 26 mastered within 3 years. Arigato Sensei.
this is a most excellent explamnation in performing of this kata. the tekki kata series are at once very difficult and very easy. In some ways it is like Taikyoku. it is a simple kata, not a lot of flash but contains infinate insights the more it is practices and applied in goshin-jutsu. Back in the old days Tekki (naihanchi) was taught before the heian (pinan) kata series.

Thank you so much sensei! Amazing videos! Iearned all three tekki kata from you in the matter of hours... Excellent karate resource and I think that you can really call your channel an online dojo! Looking forward on exaimimng your other videos as well, great respect and greetings from Croatia! Oss!
@ Salven Gojkovic You learned all 3 Tekki Katas in a matter of hours???? Either you are exceptionally gifted, or you had a background in some other form of karate!
Really enjoying this series of videos so thanks very much. I've recently started studying Shotokan after a long break away from the martial arts. Previously I had studied Wado Ryu. This kata is the equivalent of the Naihanchi kata in Wado which was my favourite kata. Slightly different in Wado but nontheless a great kata.
This is very usefull and has cleared up alot of points and detail for me. I have now perfected this kata. Keep up the good work to encourage and help others!!
this kata was the shortest kata that i know of.But this really helped me to understand it better as i stopped my classes and forgot EVRYTHING. so thank you :)
Thank you so much for doing this, I find this kata quite hard to learn so it's very useful Please do more commentaries like this for one's likeBasadi and well done once again :D
thankyou last week i could not do this properly and now i can soo much explantion has went into this. as this has helped me now i can grade for my next belt :)
Good lord… ive just pssed 4th kyu and oh boy did i struggle with heian godan over r the weeks but now I have to tackle this !!! 😮😮😮 I have three months to perfect it.. and the rest of the 3rd kyu grading …
I had the honor of also being in this Church Talent Show and I won 1st Place in the Talent Show. Surprisingly, the judges who were watching me, 2 of them were MMA fighters...
Thank you. Can my daughter go from 4th to 3rd kyu in 3 months? She has just passed her purple two white stripes (4th kyu) and tekki shodan is the next kata to reach brown (3rd kyu). We normally take 3 months to go from one belt to the next and as she's a child she follows each belt with an intermediate. I understand there comes a point where it takes longer than 3 months to grade. We attend kstsk in UK
Oss! I have a question - on the two blocks with the same hand - at left and right - the other hand is below the elbow. What is the bunkai of this? Why the hand is below, instead of being on the iner side of the elbow (morote uke)?
This was very helpful. Thank you very much for your video. One point of contention though with regard to the transitions, I learned to do rising knee blocks as opposed to the small circle crescent kick blocks i see you doing here..I've also seen other instructors (such as the brilliant Kanazawa Sensei who i have enormous respect for) do this sort of block. Other popular instructors do the rising knee block. Can you clarify this for me please? Thank you very much. Osu!
Most katas have small variations among dojos. Pay attention in class and learn the way your dojo teaches it if you can. If you move and go to a different dojo try to learn their variation
l have been practicing Karate for 29 years. I will practice it for all my life. I only have 4 Tokui Kata. Do u know how many of them will l master? None.

same as me I have found his Kata videos very helpful all the way through. Im trying to learn Basa Dai also
@@AndyTheGabbyCabby best of luck on your Karate journey. I have just graded to 1st Kyu this evening! Next year…Black Belt! Wooo 😆
@@rollerpsycho excellent I'm 4th, hoping to be 3rd by Christmas. I always like to learn ahead of where I am. Best of luck with your Dan Grade / Shodan
How did it all go?
@@karate_girl_ibiza Haven't graded yet due to injury (Patella Tendonitis) Hopefully grading to 1st Dan in 2025.
This was one of my favorite katas growing up! I loved watching my father doing this one. Your technique reminds me of him, good memories.
this is by far the best education video on tekki shodan, thank you sensei

Thank you so much, you saved my account !
@Tony Elijah Happy to help :)
Thank you very much for the detailed explanations. This is the best tutorial that I’ve ever seen.
I passed this today and am now the proud holder of a brown belt. Shotokan sensei's video was most helpful!
+kevin gallagher I think Shotokai practise this kata from the beginning, white belts aswell.
Purple white belt : )

Thanks for this I was confused at parts of this kata now it's cleared up

This is an entirely different version than what grew up with… we learned this as a form of standing grappling and throws
Спасибо за ката. Хорошо показано, все понятно.

Thank a lot really going foreward, now with this kind of videos.!!
Thanks for your devotion sir.keep it up!!!
Exelent demonstration - I like it!
Thanks for the comment and I agree with your assessment of the Taikyoku kata - deceptively simple.
Ката шотокан выполнение очень хорошее спасибо
I found this one to be really useful in terms of having to be well balanced. I had trouble being balanced in my core area...
Thank you.

Many thanks
