Thank you very much for your inspirational teaching. For example, nobody explained the role of the hip the way you did. Your precise technique with explanations on every focus in the Kata is very helpful. I have learned some Karate Katas a couple of years ago and there was only books about Karate at that time. The author was Masatoshi Nakayama and he did a good job on explaining Karate Kata techniques in images using stroboscopic technology. But your videos support my learning success much more. Please continue with the teaching of the higher Shotokan Katas . For example Bassai Dai, Kanku Dai….
Oss sensai. I am Namanpreet Kaur Kohli green belt from India. I just wanted to share my achievements. I have won 2 golds medels all over asia,2 golds in nationals,2gold in state level,2gold and 2 bronze in world federation. And I was selected for world championship conducted in Istanbul. And I am just 10
Thank you so much for this video! I am learning this kata for my next grading. I get the hang if it in the dojo but forget half of it when I go to practice at home. (I don't know if it is my age or not as much free time. I don't remember things as well as I did in my 20's/30's or before I had teenagers. 😆) This has helped me greatly. I truly appreciate your videos. 😊
Oss Sensei I started watching this channel as a White Belt - I have recently graded to Purple Belt! Thank you for the cool videos and Helping me on my journey. Please comeback with some new vids and advise keep up the good work to the Team.Oss!!
Thanks again for another spot on tutorial. I remember many, many years ago the discussions and sometimes disagreements over the placement of the left foot in the first movement. Seems silly now because as you explained "nothing is wrong in Karate" over thinking anything is a waste remembering we are practicing a fighting art, not a dance with emphasis on "ART" . I would love your interpretation of my favorite Kata "Gankaku/Chinto" thanks again.
Sensei! おはようごいます！！本当にありがとうございました、鉄騎初段 の動画作ってくれました感謝します。先生の説明も簡単、から頑張ります！１２月が次のgradingがありますそれで鉄器初段をしっかりやって行きたい！次はbassaidaiもやりますか。。。とりあいずI will keep practicing Tekki Shoudan! Ohhhh and Kankudai is my favouriteeeeee....would love to see you doing a video of Kankudai! 時間ある時お願いします！先生も沖縄行きますか？次のライブ動画いつでしょう？参加したいと思っています！今日夜空手ありますから頑張る！！！いつも大切な時間をみんなの為に作ってくれましたありがとうございました。
Your videos (you) are very good on the fine points. The subtleties. And of course as you move up the belt ranks, it's the subtleties that have to get right. And it takes time.
The Bunkai taught is a Japanese version- totally appropriate for “Tekki” Shodan, but the kata was developed in Okinawa. There are no “blocks” in Okinawan Karate. I was taught the kata in 1970 (Shidokan), and the bunkai in Japan, learning decades later from a master in Okinawan Karate, that what I learned as blocks in Naihunchi’s bunkai, were actually route-Mitsui (nerve strikes).
@@KarateDojowaKu That's one of those "lost in translation" things maybe. Or just a difference in style. The way I learned it on the Kenkojuku style of shotokan it was called Nijushi. Slight differences specially at the beginning. No sidekick, instead going for a raised kneed to avoid a sweep, etc. You can find some examples here. OSU. ruclips.net/p/PLUkgfffm3UfFnC_wDKKHAGPgGWUmeThYF
You notice the open hand extends straight before it comes in to slap the elbow? It’s guiding. You pull their head into your elbow to increase the accuracy / efficiency
Just a quibble, but Choki Motobu wrote that the elbow strike isn't necessarily an elbow strike -- that it stands for or represents any counter attack with the rear hand. So it could be an elbow strike or it could be something else depending on the circumstances.
Please can you do a video on Bassai dai? Would love to see your take on it. Love all your videos, you've been helping me heap loads as I've been getting back into it after 15 long years! Thank you!
This was the last kata I was learning when I learned karate as a child. At that time, in the JKA, my dojo was calling that the kata right before brown belt. 2 kata for purple belt, heian godan and tekki shodan
Thanks! This is my favorite kata. I do two double hand blocks toward the front then grab the opponents gi and backfist the face rather than the way you do it. It may be because my teacher's teacher had a black belt in Kyokushin though he called it Shotokan back in the day. My lineage is complicated, but the teaching was excellent. and it made me so much better. I wonder about Bunkai. For example, when you demonstrate the first move with the elbow strike, you move a step towards your opponent so your strike will reach him. When you do the kata, you do not step. Most Bunkai seems that way, not exactly like the kata as you have to adjust to the opponent.
@@benjaminejegwa4870 karate is not Japanese. It's okinawan from southern China. What gets called karate today, is a horrible mess thanks to the Japanese
I know Karate has its origins in Okinawa an Island off Japan which was annexed by Japan, and then it came into Japan but to say the Japanese spoilt or made a mess of Karate is deceptively wrong. Everything changes, everything flows. If you make a case for Sport's karate maybe but sport's karate is not Germaine to Japan @@TheRastacabbage
Where's the rest of it? The last segment was a really good breakdown of the Bunkai of the first move sequence of Tekki Shodan, why didn't you do the rest of the kata? There are 3 more sequences you could have explained.
As much as I love the performative nature of this type of Bunkai, I have never understood how it fits with training. The attacks in these Bunkai examples are always karate attacks... oi zuki or gyaku zuki as an example... In my head I believed this Bunkai was meant for sparring application but knees and elbows are illegal moves... Based on my experience I think Bunkai should be kept to the okinawan roots of its execution as many Japanese & Western influences have filtered it away from its original purpose of self protection. Another kind of key thing for me is using everything the kata is telling you. We use directions of travel for a reason. I often feel like a lot of key elements of kata are ignored in this kind of Bunkai... e.g: .Embusen .Hikite .Turning Nevertheless this video is cool and you have fantastic stance and control!
Sensei, could I ask what you're thoughts are on cross-training? I am currently a green belt in Shotokan and have tried Goju-Ryu for 4 lessons as our Dojo offers both by different instructors. But my Shotokan Sensei is discouraging me from continuing as he feels that it would impact my Shotokan. The two Goju-Ryu instructors see no problem with it (one of them has a brown belt in Shotokan as well). The most notable differences I have found is that Goju-Ryu uses Shanchin-dachi, Neko-ashi dachi, and Seiko-dachi where Shotokan only really uses it in certain Kata. And the Goju-Ryu has taught me things that we never do in Shotokan, like break rolls and with more emphasis on close ranged combat. I love both and find them too different to confuse them. He feels it will ruin my stances, but the stances used exist in both. Any advice?
I'd say do both, if you can. I have trained in a lot of different styles and to me, its all just Karate as well. I have only noticed beneficial changes. Tho it depends om what you wanna learn and what both Schools teach you, but overall it wont hurt your advancement at all. Speaking from my experience of course.
Sensei, if it is not to much to ask... Could you write the Japanese' s names of each moment of this kata please? I have been learning Japanese using karate and I' m sure it might help a lot of people. 押す
Look up the anatomy. The groin is the junction area known as the inguinal region between the abdomen and the thigh on either side of the public bone. Basically its were the hip flexors are.
What other kata do you want to see?
Sochin kata
Start at the beginner kata then the more advance.
I need all of them up to Gite. Plleeeeeaaaseee!!!!
What about a full explanation of Sanchin? i heard its a powerful way to defend but i dont understand it well
bassai dai and kanku dai pls thank you

The first haishu uke chudan maybe need hips too but is good to see a sensei do hips movements in his katas great!!
Any kata will do. There's 26 in Shotokan! Looking forward to the next. Keep up the great work. Nijushi is interesting, specially they bunkai. Osu.
It's Nijushiho :)
Funakoshi only really included 15.

Thank you so much. It was so useful for me! I love kotsuzumi sound you use for each point 🔊😌
Bro... the speed🔥🔥
This kata resembles sword and shield techniques of the old days, and I remember there is a youtuber adapted this to ground fighting techniques.
Interesting!
Very fast performance✨🥋

I really appreciate your videos. Thank you.
I am currently learning this as my first kata
I follow the Okinawan way of Naihanchi Shodan; either way, your version indeed is graceful and dynamic.
Please can you do a video on Bassai dai? Would love to see your take on it. Love all your videos, you've been helping me heap loads as I've been getting back into it after 15 long years! Thank you!
Thank you for showing this. I like the tip of rolling the foot down on the step. Kata is very similar to Naihanchi in okinawan karate.
Heian comes from Naihanchi!
@@KarateDojowaKu so true but in other styles
It's the same kata. Pinans/Heians are mostly Chinto and Kusanku.
This was the last kata I was learning when I learned karate as a child. At that time, in the JKA, my dojo was calling that the kata right before brown belt. 2 kata for purple belt, heian godan and tekki shodan
Same for shotokan,I'm in purple stripe belt and it's my belt kata
Very helpful and good performance 👏👌👍🙌
Thank so much Vrey helpful ☺
Good 👍 👍 👍 👍
Hi! What the name of the mouvement at 28 secondes and the next at 29 secondes? Tanks!
My sensei told me that when you move to the side, the height must remain the same. Is this always the case?

How come there tutorials on the kata on Bassai dai? Will you be making one?
