Thank you very much for recording this from both sides, so we can see the chop-ridgehand-kick combinations more clearly. This kata has a remarkable amount of hopping, spinning, and reversals, which make most recorded performances show at most less than half of the details of the form. Your recording and performance are an excellent teaching tool. Thanks again!
Interesting thing about Kyan, apart from that he was well known to be all business, is that he knew and trained with Yara's grandson, and with Sokan Matsumura. So far I haven't seen any evidence that he worked with the Kojo ( Cai ) family, although it wouldn't surprise me if he did.
7th or 8th Dan. It's a Japanese based raking system that governs. You can probably google and find the different official ranking systems in Japan. I don't know why or the meaning behind it but that is what I found in searching.
How so ?It is called a “Kohaku Obi “..Some styles of Karate award it to Nana-Dan (7th Dan ),and Hachi-Dan (8th Dan )holders ..It is a very legitimate,and very Okinawan Obi ..
@@nesking3115 Red-and-white obis are also beloved by frauds and quacks that shamelessly hand themselves promotions or receive them as political favors from their organization for activities related to business, not skill. As a kid, I studied Isshin-Ryu, a style whose founder's son awarded himself a 10th dan red-and-white belt despite "not being that into karate." Okinawan karate, as a family of styles, is....to put it diplomatically, "shaky" in quality under normal circumstances. I mean, just ask yourself: After black belt, what are they even using as the criteria for promotions? It's not competition. These aren't competitive styles. It's not knowing certain moves. They know the curriculum. It could be kata, but that's easy to master. I could have a professional dance team performing kata at "10th dan" level within 18 months. Probably less. So that's just athleticism. It's politics. That's what gets you stripes.
@@LAVATORR regarding promotions, up to 5th Dan, sometimes 6th, we still learn kata. We are still graded on depth of knowledge because kata has many layers of learning. If someone thinks they know a kata and can't learn anymore from it then they are not studying hard enough. After that most promotions are based on other criteria such as overall contributions to the style.
@@LAVATORR You can practice the physical movements of a kata and become really good but if you cannot interpret that kata's application, you have mastered nothing. If kick, block, punch is all you understand in a kata then there is a lot left to learn.
nice and smooth. very conscious in each movement, its beautiful to watch - thank you!

What the meaning of red white belt sensi??

@@LAVATORR Lemus Sensei is the real deal. I can't say much about your Isshin-Ryu experience, but I agree it comes down to skill.
