People making comments such as 'it is too slow' don't appreciate that Shotokan kata have *evolved* and continue to change. There is no such thing as a single correct kata performance that will please all people at all times. Try *understanding* why Kanazawa Sensei performs it the way he does rather than say why it is not consistent with what you have been taught.
I agree completely. Is a musician a good musician because he can play music really, really fast? There's obviously a difference between doing something fast and doing it well and that difference is key to all martial arts.
I love doing this Kata with weapons. Sai’s,Jo Staff, two short staff, Tonfa. I try to incorporate weapons in my Kata training. Plus using hand weights and leg weights. I would tie 5 or 10 lb weights to my ankle with my old karate belts. Now I just use ankle weights. The belt would come loose during workouts and always had to retire them. Great extended training tool for Kata ,basic Bunkai.
I do agree with what most people are saying. I'm sorry, but I don't believe that most of us have any right to criticise Kancho Kanazawa. He is a 10th Dan, and a complete karate legend. So in short, he is NOT too slow
Why are people posting comments like 'too slow' and 'this part was wrong' ? Kanazawa has been training longer, has more experience and is a higher grade than anybody posting here, if not on all of UA-cam.
The way he does his kata is strong yet flowing, without the feeling of stiffness and perfect timing and breathing. those who compare him to other competition fighters are just dumb. some of the competition karateka only use strength and speed, while not focusing on the flow of the kata and making the kata seem robot-like
I had many fights in the street and I finished those fights with only one punch or one kick. If you are going to fight with karate knowledge you don't need to play, just one punch and that's it. I have practicing karate for 33 years, aikido for 9 months, jujitsu and judo (seminars), courses of self defense. Let me tell you that karate helps a lot to understand all the movements.
I'm not even a shodan and do Tekki Sandan as well as many other kata. Now, I understand that just knowing many kata doesn't make me a good karateka, but the analysis will come too, over time. However, I believe that the most important thing is not to be trapped in those patterns of what and when you are supposed to do and learn. Be yourself, do what you want. But do it seriously. This is Karate.
@dakotaleader , no actually Jutte is short compared to others..I think some suggested JION? it seems shorter to me that Heian Shodan. yes ?I know both.

One thing is box, karate is a study of movements. I don´t care about Mike Tyson, Box is a sport, Karate is an art. Even if you want to be a good boxer you have to train for years. You need the technics, box is not only punch, is technic, force, elasticity. I don`t know anybody who trained for 3 or 4 years and is a good fighter.
Karate, Krav Maga, Muay Thai, and all kind of martial arts or fighting methods, it takes time yo understand and know hoew to fight. I have been practicing for 33 years Karate, I have practiced Jujitsu (that I don't like it, and is not for me), I practiced Aikido, I know Krav Maga that the bases are on Judo and Karate, and you need time, your body needs to learn the movements is not just watching how to do that. Kata is the heart of a fight.
I just became Shodan 6 months ago and I was wondering if it matters what order I go in when it comes to learning the black belt katas. I have Tekkei Neidan and Kanku Sho down pat and Im not sure which I should start detailing next.
well,the sensei(teacher) understand every move different, they all know how is a block or attack made,but if they think that a move should be made stronger,or slower, they will make it like that...it's not wrong, it's just the view of the sensei, but if u do a kata, and you mix 2 sensei's teachings, than the kata is wrong...
is this JKA or SKA? there is a difference..might take some time to understand. I think he's JKA..he's Kata is very good, but I see some basic timing issues? shouldn't the arm/hands land at the same time as the hips? this might be JKA/SKA difference. I would suggest the first is done with mostly the correct timing but not speed. the 2 up blocks before the last are slow. the first udeuke doesn't seem coordinated with his hips? and slow. I would also add kibadachi is too high. no attacks in this
the arms and standing don't seem coordinated..just look at the first couple of movements..Its my understanding that the hands and feet must be together.. if I wrong ok..but explain this to my teacher..I've studied for 25+yrs.together or no strength..did I miss something?
@Archfiend1900 muscle memory from practicing alone is foolhardy at best, and suicidal at worst. If you're up against an attacker who is NOT using attacks you imagined you're screwed. What happens when the person you're fighting isn't calmly and gently using karate moves in a controlled setting, instead applying a ground game such as Judo or BJJ? Practicing alone will leave you unprepared, and ultimately easily beaten. (not that I think practicing karate with a partner does any good either tbh)
Budokan and shotokan are very much alike. the way they structure their moves are different in ways. the teaching is the same though. every sensie(teacher) has a different way of teaching though. I do budokan but its very simular to shotokan.
No offense meant to anyone. I just think that karate is an art, and not an effective fighting style. And by think, I mean this is fact. in terms of FIGHTING, not martial arts, 5 years of karate is the equivalent to about 3 months of Krav maga, a year of Muay Thai, and 6 months of BJJ. That's just how it goes. Karate takes a lot of dedication and skill. But even karate masters aren't inherently good at fighting, quite the opposite. They're great martial artists but terrible fighters.

What I find amazing about this video is that even when he does the kata slowly you can still hear how precise and crisp his movement is.

After all these years, still the best jitte i have ever seen. smooth and powerfull, beautifull.
RIP great Master! And thank you.

Thank you Kanazawa and thank you shotokankataman. I ALWAYS use these videos before my karate tests. :-D
first time hearing of this kata and seeing it, extremely impressed
I think this vid was in the 70's or 80's. A lot of detailed changes have been made during these years in katas
Why are people posting comments like 'too slow' and 'this part was wrong' ? Kanazawa has been training longer, has more experience and is a higher grade than anybody posting here, if not on all of UA-cam.
People may find Sensei Kanazawa slow but they really can't understand why:it's just pedagogical.He 's a strong humble to be fully respected, please.
Very nice Kata.
Thank you, Soke Kanazawa.

This guy got me through all of my brown belts, my Shodan, and my Nidan, and he's about to get me through my Sandan as well.
The way he does his kata is strong yet flowing, without the feeling of stiffness and perfect timing and breathing. those who compare him to other competition fighters are just dumb. some of the competition karateka only use strength and speed, while not focusing on the flow of the kata and making the kata seem robot-like
This is amazing level of skill, thanks for sharing,

This kata its My favorite
Yes Good Kata oss 🇦🇴👊👊
Doing this kata for my black belt grading, this really helped!

15 years of practicing..Havent seen such katas !!
Very old comment but those katas are from Shotokan style. By now you probably know that.

Best Kata ever! *.*
unsu is also amazing you should watch it
this kata is as hard as hell
@@MegaMoh Hahahahaah wtf? Have you tried doing Unsu, Gankaku, Gojoshihosho or Gojoshihodai on a world competition?
I'm a member of combat judo kara-te ass., Of the Philippines. I'm using shotokan kata. Most of kanàzawa kata.
@dakotaleader- No this is the correct number of moves for Jitte.
i love this kata!!!
amazing!!!

I live in Israel and saw Krav Maga, I can tell you that if you know what is karate you will see karate on the krav maga technics.
ty men for teaching me that :)

good video excelent
mr. kanazawa is cool rock on.
Excelente kata oss

I want more!

I lost the bronze medal in my country while perfoming this Kata
i just got confused
God damnit
Was it on the wrist twists? I don't know of anyone who hasn't got confused at that point!
Super
😊😊😊😊
is this JKA or SKA?
there is a difference..might take some time to understand.

I would also add kibadachi is too high.
no attacks in this
@dakotaleader Jitte is only 24 moves, you may be thinking of another kata.
@Archfiend1900 you don't actually think ANY of this would ever work in a fight against someone who knows how to fight, do you??
why does he show the kata so slow??
Kanazawa will always be a martial arts samurai
the arms and standing don't seem coordinated..just look at the first couple of movements..Its my understanding that the hands and feet must be together..
if I wrong ok..but explain this to my teacher..I've studied for 25+yrs.together or no strength..did I miss something?

Kancho is not a name but a title. Kancho means President/ Head of an organization
Dont mess with THAT guy
@Archfiend1900 if you're learning martial arts for self defense, karate is the main one you want to avoid...
Budokan and shotokan are very much alike. the way they structure their moves are different in ways. the teaching is the same though. every sensie(teacher) has a different way of teaching though. I do budokan but its very simular to shotokan.
In Nepal we all were taught wrong...😭
