Sensei Tomoji Miyamoto does Kanku Dai kata, in presence of Master Shigeru Egami. From the early 70's. Example of Shoto-kai's peculiar relaxed Karate Do style.
Respectfully, are you sure that this is Miyamoto Sensei, and not Takahashi Kiyooka Sensei? My seniors and teachers were always pretty adamant that this was Takahashi (Tak) Sensei, rather than Miyamoto Sensei.... I note that they both feature in the pre-2000 Heart of Karate-do in the kata and Kihon sections. Could you please post your evidence for this being Miyamoto Sensei, rather than Tak Sensei?
No, I am not sure. I was told it was Miyamoto. Do you have evidence to the contrary you can provide us to clear things up? I will try to contact friends that are in direct contact with Miyamoto who would know better. If I find something out I'll reply here. Greetings.
@@hvalborg - thank you, that's wonderful that you have the contacts to speak to Miyamoto Sensei. Takashi Kiyooka ( his partner in The Way of Karate ) taught my seniors and lived in our hometown for over a year, later I lived in Japan and studied with Ikeda ( one of Egamis seniors ). Just recently, these kata have been re-released in DVD form and you can clearly see that it's Miyamoto Sensei - sorry for the bother. www.ebay.com/itm/Japanese-KARATE-DVD-Book-Kata-Textbook-Shigeru-Egami-Martial-Arts-from-JAPAN-/163389259248
Yes! Funakoshi took karate from okinawa to Japan and founded the shotokan dojo, sometime later as he had so many students he founded the shotokai asociation and they were all the same karate group (shotokan the place and shotokai the asociation were this students were registered) when Funakoshis dead some students followed Egami principles (in charge of Shotokai asociation under designation of Funakoshi) he developped a karate base on fluidity nakadaka ken and kime. Other students followed Nakayama on jka which we call shotokan more explosive direct and based on body rotation to generate power. ;)
Es el karate que ideó el maestro Egami, alumno de Funakoshi y creador del estilo Shotokai; un karate más fluido y menos rígido que el Shotokan de la JKA. Después de la muerte de O Sensei Gichin Funakoshi, este maestro siguió en la línea de Funakoshi, y repudió como aquel, la competición. No se debe criticar un arte por las apariencias. De todas formas, Funakoshi enseñaba un karate más natural, fluido y de posiciones más altas. En realidad muchos karatecas de Shotokan no saben que están practicando el karate de Yositaka Funakoshi, hijo del maestro, que le dio un cambio más potente y con posiciones bajas y fuertes, además de enriquecer el karate de su padre con nuevas patadas como el Yoko Geri, Mawashi Geri, Ushiro Geri…
Creo que si profundizara más en el estudio del origen de las artes marciales de Okinawa, aprendería que la influencia china, sobre todo de los estilos "suaves" fue la predominante. El solo hecho que desprecie un estilo diferente al suyo, o lo defina como "espantoso" dice mucho de lo que todavía le falta por aprender. El respeto y la cortesía a lo diferente es una de las columnas en que se basan las artes marciales. Saludos.
No offense to anyone, but as a disciple of Shotoryu/Shotokan for over 50 yrs I will never believe that Master Funakoshi was headed in this direction for the future of his karate. There is no resemblance of karate here. Look at Okinawan karate, it is still closer to JKA type karate, then to this weird type of dancing. Karate is a defensive art in it's true form. Not ballet.

I love the fact they do kata smoothly, not like rigid robots.
Sweet. I'll watch this one a dozen times.
Beautiful kata, as are most those done by Miyamoto. He does lift the heal at times, but that's just nitpicking... :-)
Le faltan unas fleccioncitas y unos parcaidas pa que agarre fuerzas

@LeComte13 NOT fixing?
@Ruben1994OL Yes, as far as I know.
You do know the historical and technical differences between ShotoKAN and ShotoKAI, do you ?
Yes! Funakoshi took karate from okinawa to Japan and founded the shotokan dojo, sometime later as he had so many students he founded the shotokai asociation and they were all the same karate group (shotokan the place and shotokai the asociation were this students were registered) when Funakoshis dead some students followed Egami principles (in charge of Shotokai asociation under designation of Funakoshi) he developped a karate base on fluidity nakadaka ken and kime.

@@diegofrancoleon1609 That's super interesting! Thanks for taking time to explain that.
@Ruben1994OL LOL, that's what Shotokai's about!
I don't see a lot of fixing the techniques here...
Only Shotokan
No me gustó nunca Egami. Ahora entiendo.
¿Qué es esto? Absolutamente inconsistente, sin kime ni posturas definidas. Un espanto.

The kata is terrible!!! It has no power. It lacks Real techniques, and he is just sliding across the floor !!!
