@@KaratedoFocus The problem with Japanese Karate around the world these days is that it doesn't look Japanese anymore. This is really, really Japanese, and it stands out more and more as time passes.

Kata is supposed to involve the imagination of enemies attacking from multiple directions, yet on the third movement he moves to the right for the wedge block and doesn’t look in that direction until he is more than halfway into his back stance! I know the sequence of the kata well, and while I’m NOT saying that I am as good as this young man, I do know that doing it the way he did it at that point lost me!

[@KaratedoFocus]

Point taken, I believe we all agree it takes a lifetime to get closer and closer to perfection :)

[@hulyotv6210]

it’s supposed to be like that. for that particular move, it’s supposed to show that u dont look away from your opponent. it’s like walking away slowly (after striking and your opponent is down) then moving onto the next opponent. hope that helps oss
