I call this kata "The Knee Test" 😊 He needs more hip twist and stance very low that's why when he kicks he looks like he's dragging his front snap kicks. 😊
This is one of the hardest Kata in Shotokan.The participant didn't not perform a whole move in it.Variation techniques in kata for tournament might be acceptable by some referees.But deducting it totally is cutting like one hand or feet.My opinion ..It should be disqualified .
I agree with you but I do not think he should be disqualified. His goal is to make kata more attractive, so he increases speed and explosivnes on the cost of technique. Unfortunately a lot of judges value explosivnes and speed over proper execution of techniques, this is modern karate after all...
watched it live from the stands after competing in this division earlier. still probably the best performance i have ever seen.
Very difficult kata. Love it
