Yeah, I keep coming back to this version of kanku dai because of the fluidity, and the timing, and the extreme lack of any wasted energy or movement. Efficiency. It's really one of the best and highest expressions of what karate should look like, kata, or kumite, or kihon. Osaka is still the standard imo. And even when he did Unsu, it was top, top drawer.
The best ever never to be surpassed in my humble opinion ... Osaka Sensei

I agree with every word. Sadly the the true greats like Osaka Sensei are being cast aside for this mess they call karate today
