i started wadoryu in 1963 under tatsuo zuzuki sensei then studied shotokan from 1965, have trained with many japanese sensei but none even come near kato sensei for his explination of kata bukai
Ah I see Kato Sensei is still very much alive and well. That's good! He has so many great karate training ideas, especially kata applications that make complete sense. I'd encourage everyone to get along and train with him. Excellent English, even if he does drop the occassional 'blue' word for effect.
Excellent explanation of the Bunkai. Thanks for passing.

@gerwinarenas Yes! He still teaches literally all over the world every year! A true Karate genius. We hosted him in our dojo in the west of Ireland (Tuam) in October - one of the best courses I've ever done - seeing him doing Tekki Shodan was truly terrifying, such ferocious intensity. All IJKA courses are open, I highly recommend you track one down and attend, consistently top notch stuff. I'll be taking my nidan exam under him in February in Cork, fingers crossed!! OSU!!
Как же красиво..
Every explanation of bunkai, made by Kato Sensei are excellent. I'm grateful to know him! Ossu!!

What a video. Love it. Trained with Kato Sensei a few times. Nothing like it.

sensei Sadashige kato is the best. He used to train and grade us back in the 90s with my 2 brothers and my dad..
Any idea if his still doing karate?
Kato was my first grading instructor who got me to blackbelt....ohhh memories
Is there a continue for this video?
Excellent.
Did Sensei find it cold in the dojo that day ?
What? where do you study Shotokan ?
Чего это сенсей в куртке??? Why does he have jacket over karate-gi?
Проблемы нет) но все же... Редко такое можно увидеть - японский мастер в куртке поверх доги (еще и в зале). Видимо, дубак там
