As Isshin ryu is rarely represented in international competitions, I would think people in the comments section would be more amiable. She is performing in what has become the WKF format. So while it may not conform to traditional Isshin ryu , it still gives the style exposure.
Yes, If the video was not labeled, I would have no idea what style this was supposed to be. What is wrong with performing kata the traditional way? Do you lose points for that? I do not understand how they judge these events.
Could you guys tell me what's a difference between what she did and traditional practice. I trained Shotokan as a teenager, about 20 years ago. So, I don't remember much.
@@myhandlehasbeenmishandled Here is a link to an example of the traditional performance of Isshin Ryu's Kusanku. ua-cam.com/video/NvofsG7uIEM/v-deo.html
This IS NOT the Kusanku of Isshin-ryu Karate. As stated by others, the vertical fist with the thumb placed on top, is the only Isshin-ryu factor. The angles of attack were different along with various hand and foot strikes. She did an excellent Kusanku kata, crisp, clean and powerful. It just wasn't our version.
@@zenshiatsufisioterapia ABSOLUTELY NOT ISSHINRYU version as taught by Tatsuo Shimabuku, Angi Uezu, Kichero Shimabuku, Tyoshi Uechi, Arsenio Advincula and SO MANY others. Google any of those names performing Kusanku kata and you will agree! I have been active in Isshinryu since 1975!
@@MonguSu1952 It is ofcourse the Isshinryu Kusanku , but modified in order to match the WKF standards . I cross checked with Kusanku versions of different other styles , it exactly matches the Isshinryu version . All other styles are also stylistically modified for competitive purposes , the same is happening in this Kusanku too .
@@raikiriedit IT IS NOT the Isshinryu version! I have been in Isshinryu since 1975 and have NEVER witnessed this version by ANY practitioner of the style! If it was modified to fit WKF standards, it was COMPLETELY OVERHAULED and is 98% non Isshinryu! It is misrepresenting the Isshinryu Kusanku! You should check out a few of the Isshinryu videos out there! As I mentioned in an earlier comment, I saw the Isshinryu vertical fist and a fairly accurate floor pattern but the stances were deeper than the Isshinryu version. SHE did a GREAT performance and I commend her on a job well done.
Isshinryu actually teaches all of the kata from both Gojuryu and Shorinryu, but only eight total empty handed katas are on the official belt progression. Isshinryu also teaches quite a number of weapons katas officially, and Arcenio Advincula hierarchy dojos tend to also teach escrima and kama in addition to the three traditional weapons of Isshinryu.
The ONLY kobudo that Tatsuo Shimabuku introduced into Isshinryu were three bo kata, two sai kata and one tonfa kata. They were part of the official curriculum. Agena no Sai was introduced by him some years later so some of the US Marines never were taught this particular kata. He did approve of a bo/bo kumite and a bo/sai kumite "kata" a few years before his death. That's my understanding, anyway. So other weapons and weapon kata may have been introduced by various instructors since 1975, but they were not originally included.
As a long-term Isshinryu student who knows Kusanku, I'm just wondering what degree of black belt she is? She is nowhere near old enough to be a 9th or 10th Dan, but normally Red Belt in Isshinryu is reserved for 9th and 10th Dan. Weird. Anyway, this version of Kusanku is somewhat different than what we practiced in Isshinryu 23+ years ago. As others pointed out, the Vertical Fist is the only real Isshinryu adaptation I see here. i'm pretty sure the Double Front Jump Kick is from Chinto Kata, not Kusanku, so what she has done is almost like combining Chinto and Kusanku into one kata.
didnt know isshin katas were allowed. does this mean kata of any style can be performed as long as it's analogous to a kata in shotokan/shito/wado/goju?
Yes, if kata on official wkf list, and approves ruy-ha for that style, it can be done, they insist also on pronunciation of kata, it must be pronounced just like from official list. For instance you have Suparimpei, in shotokan cannot be pronunced hyakuhachiho, it must be suparimpei.
The vertical fist is the only isshinryu in this imaginative kusanku revision
Truly unrecognizable.

@dbuck1964 it looks like an emulation of the flashy Japanese styles.
The vertical fist may be being used but the rest of the kata is not Isshinryu at least not how the kata is traditionally taught.

Give Isshin-ryu exposure by doing the Isshin-ryu version. Don't mislabel it!

That vertical fist with the thumb on top. Isshinryu trademark.
Nice very fast very crisp very good stances.
Really modified for tournament use.
Looks cool

The red belt is because in WKF, we compete with only 2 belts, red and blue, no matter what kyu or dan you are, you have to use one of this 2 belts.
@@PetrusNicolai thank you for that explanation.

Gojuryu and Shorinryu make it so
"that clapping is messing me up man. I trying to think of the moves but all I hear is clapping. I appreciate it...."
Not Isshin Ryu
I've never seen that before.... what's her nane?
Fist placement
What's herc name????
never heard of this kata in isshinryu 🤔
Wonder who the instructor is this is heavily changed from the original
Calling this Isshin-Ryu Kusanku is a joke.
WKF gets in its own way. It lacks diversity. It’s their kata or nothing.
