Yess!!!!!!!!! I rarely see people do the head forward when the kick happens. While reading toguchi Sensei's book I saw him do it with the look toward the left, and then turn head right, and then forward for kick, and then the same the opposite way, that's how I learned it before I joined shorei-kan, but I still saw people do it without the look
When you watch Saifa videos on RUclips for example, it is important to know the style of karate, the federation, etc. If you watch the saifa video on the IOGKF channel for example (goju ryu), we are actually looking to the side :).
@Jeremy H look at the history and the technique & you might understand why it is a mcdojo. Sullivan was a 1st (maybe 2nd dan) at best when he invented gkr. He subsequently graded himself to 6th Dan and got his students to grade him to 8th dan. Then we have the technique. Shotokan & goju use different approaches to.power generation & strategies for dealing with application. To marry the two together is not easy. Ma's Oyama has come closest with Kyokoshin. Performing saifa badly or seiunchin as it was done in the karate kid films does not mean you have combined anything. Gkr was always a way to make money to feed sullivan and his family, nothing more.
@@spinoneintliano say what you will about Sullivan, neither here nor there about him. I personally like the style and personally think it works well together. I'm not here to shit on anyone's style
@@jebbykunt For illustration. This is Saifa done correctly. Notice the use of angles, the application of power though the hips, the way the transitions are managed & the way the power is focused at the correct point. None of that exists in the version GKR have come up with.
Thanks teacher, great tips, it's going to help me for the next grading. Be blessed.
Thank you - this video supports the GKR video really well with excellent explanations
Thank you for this video of the saifa kata technic step by step as l am still learning the technic

Thank you. I started learning this Kata recently and these pointers help a lot.
Thanks so assistive
شكرا شرح جيد
Thx so clear
Thank you. This is so helpful 👍
Which federation ? In any case, this is not the saifa of the IOGKF/TOGKF.
Ok, I managed to read the bagde after... GKR, this explains that...
Would you make a video of the applications of goju ryu kicks?
This isn't Goju Ryu. It is the Mcdojo known as Go Kan Ryu.
@@peterwilkinson5113 gkr is literally just a mix of shotokan and goju ryu...I'll never understand the hate
