Im autistic and train Shotokan Karate for fun. I find these videos very helpful, especially with the harder katas like this one. Thankyou so much for these videos, theyre a huge help.
I watch loads of karate videos online but for the best most well explained and demonstrated techniques, your videos are the best there is on youtube. Thank you Sensei!
I have browsed through dozens of videos, and I can confidently say that you’re presenting the most valuable educational material. I’ll never be thankful enough. Thank you very much Sensei. Best regards from Algeria.
After moving home thus switching from Shito-Ryu to Shotokan there are similarities but this last part has eluded me (trying to stay ahead of the curve). Nicely explaind and very helpful, thank you
Im having a test to brown belt in a few weeks, and this and all of your videos helping me so much at a period when my sensei cant teach katad through zoom
Thank you very much. My school (Do Jo) closed a number of years ago, and I recently decided to renew my studies and practice. Your videos and commentaries are priceless!!!!!
the fine footwork and intimate details are important but what is more important is treating this kata as a self contained self defence system, a series of techniques stored in a KATA so that they can be practiced and remembered. I explain the Bunkai as I show the movements, e.g the move where one turns away and strikes up to an upper cut.. a shoulder throw. and the jump would be landing on them and placing them in a lock/pin. I then take them aside and get them to do a shoulder throw and a pin on a partner.. they can then practice the imaginary movements at home and that can only be good!!
At 2:07 the way I learned it was that the right hand comes through the middle more, in sync with the knee, and is more of a straight uppercut that where both the knee and the right hand strike are focusing your momentum and therefore increasing your power.
I have found your tutorials very useful over the years, I am currently attempting to learn the Heian Kata Ura; I think myself and others would find it useful too if you could go through Heian Yondan and Godan Ura.
As a 1st kyu, it pains me how much I have forgotten with these katas! I stopped training over 3 years ago, and am preparing to go back within the next couple of weeks!!
@Sephirothj666: I agree with the other poster. Your remarks are disrespectful. Also you are incorrect. In the SKIF system your front leg is supposed to move to the side when you switch from zenkutsu dachi to kokutsu dachi. It's stated clearly in the official syllabus.
Whenever I need to learn a kata I come to you. You have some great videos, but in the future please try and move the camera as you do it so we can see all the moves.
This channel is great! There's another one where he just does it too fast for me and with a really bad camera so this one is 10000000000000000000000000000% better
Football Bloggers well yea this video was made in 2010 and that was made in 2006. Also the other one shows it slowly as well, I honestly prefer both channels.
Killian Gibbons I prefer chocolate and ice cream. And I won't be able to choose one if u asked me too. I use the older version just to help me remember the kata and this one to help me actually learn it.
kata vary so much between styles, but that's what makes it so awesome :) I do shukokai karate, and godan has a few different stances and movements, etc. I'm going to have to switch styles when I go to university, so it's going to be confusing, but very fun!
Sensei is an excellent tutor. Hs explanations are crystal clear. Though I am doing Shorin Ryu I try to practice all his kata demos back at home. Meantime it would be interesting to know his name and his nationality. Does any one know ? Please Reply.
I’m a 2nd degree black belt in TKD. After moving states I was forced to begin Karate due to a lack of TKD schools. Because of my experience, martial arts is such a part of my life that my instructor has allowed me into his advanced classes while only being an orange belt. Because of that, and because of the International Training Camp I went too, I’ve ended up doing this Kata more than my own Kata (Sandan). This is also the case with Tekkishodan, which I’ve helped myself learn here.
Great Video, but are you guys really not using the japanese terms in America? for some reasons it botheres me so much to hear "backstance" instead of "kokutsi dachi" :D
Couple yrs still use this video, one of best commentaries out there, Thanks again Sensei.
Im autistic and train Shotokan Karate for fun. I find these videos very helpful, especially with the harder katas like this one. Thankyou so much for these videos, theyre a huge help.
Always the best lessons. Thanks Sansei for helping an old man improve his life through Karate.

Thank you very much Sensei.

After moving home thus switching from Shito-Ryu to Shotokan there are similarities but this last part has eluded me (trying to stay ahead of the curve). Nicely explaind and very helpful, thank you

Killian Gibbons I've watched the same one
True
Killian Gibbons thats kanazawa he's this mans teacher for approx 3 years
Football Bloggers well yea this video was made in 2010 and that was made in 2006. Also the other one shows it slowly as well, I honestly prefer both channels.
Peace Maker you can't prefer two things
it's one or the other
Killian Gibbons
I prefer chocolate and ice cream. And I won't be able to choose one if u asked me too. I use the older version just to help me remember the kata and this one to help me actually learn it.
Thanks Sensei
Thanks I,am yellow belt and my kata complete Godan

Thank you!!! OSU!!!
kata vary so much between styles, but that's what makes it so awesome :) I do shukokai karate, and godan has a few different stances and movements, etc. I'm going to have to switch styles when I go to university, so it's going to be confusing, but very fun!
+css1971 I agree
sehr schön, toller Lehrer
kata is BACK BONE of Martial Arts
Sensei is an excellent tutor. Hs explanations are crystal clear. Though I am doing Shorin Ryu I try to practice all his kata demos back at home. Meantime it would be interesting to know his name and his nationality. Does any one know ? Please Reply.
+Vinayaraghavan Nair It's Sensei Paul Walker and he's American.
thanks a lot i was bad in the end of this kata but now i can do it
thank you very much sensei
Awesome
