Nostalgia watching Suzuki Sensei examinate a Dan grading. My last dan grading was 2003 at the summer camp in Brighton, England for Suzuki sensei. Fond memories. Big greetings from Sweden
Weston1968, I agree. I did Goju Ryu for a while but switched to Wado which to me is the closest to Wing Chun as karate can get for it's close combat style. Unlike other martial arts I've taken, Wado emphasizes a lot of combinations early on in the training as well as tons of interaction with other people rather than endless katas with imagined opponents. I know Ohtsuka and Funakoshi disagreed on this very precept.
Jari8814 It is the theme tune from the last twenty minutes of the film called The Last of the Mohicans from the book by Fennimore Cooper, one of the most moving passages of film I have ever seen. Do see it if you can.

Wado Ryu is the Best of all the Karate styles!
Loving the kata. Great honour to have Suzuki do the grading.

Good, but not as good as the dan grading tape by Hanshu Tatsuo Suzuki. Techniques a lot different from pure Wado Ryu. Very good but different.
2nd knife defence was poor no control of the knife hand in jitsu would have been a fail at green belt lvl , rest was very sharp and stylish well done.
