Kanku-dai is one of the most important Shotokan katas, if not the most important. This video demonstrates and explains each move of the kata step by step in detail.
Thank so much!! This is an excellent tutorial. Thank God I found your videos while I prepare for my first dan. Now I'm sure I will make it. Thank you!! Greetings from Berlin
Well done, but if you're a beginner (since you said it's the 3rd kata you've learned) it's not really a good idea to start learning kankudai now. It would be better if you try doing some easier katas first.
eu ja aprendi o kanku dai fasso karate e estava pesquisando para aprender para que eu possa supreender o meu professor. Para eu fazer o kanku dai e necessario que eu aprender o heian yodan primeiro? (sou faixa branca ainda =\ ...)
Videos are very good if you study the videos you could learn the cottage and get some practical ideas of how to use the techniques I still would prefer you train with an actual instructor I am a black belt and Kenpo karate I'm currently studying shotokan and I have the equivalent of black belt and other Okinawa arts and a background in Chinese grappling Korean cane self-defense Chinese grappling and kubaton
Manjiuke: A throw in which you lift opponent's leg with one arm and drive him down with the other arm. Try it. With the so called palm heal strike to the groin....why would you do that? It is a groin grab or again, lifting his leg , dumping him on the floor.
I am stunning shotokan now with a private instructor I would like to know what rank this kata is in I would like to know if is it brown belt or black belt or higher
at 1:51 there is one small detail left off, with the open hand you grab the opponents wrist and kick to the Elbow or ribs , the Grab of the wrist is a excellent move in MMA for example (In Heian Nidan for example you can Grab the Wrist and substitute a punch for the spear hand strike just as Kennedy did against Romero, my instructor taught to think concepts and not just blindly learn the moves and he was a 8th Dan). This explanation of the wrist Grab comes right from the book Karate Do KYOHAN. oss
***** Hikite is drawing back so then yes if you are grabbing the wrist and pulling and kicking although its more grab and control without the pulling in if you want to kick to the person elbow in an attempt to break the elbow or yes maybe pull in if kicking to the ribs in an attempt to break the ribs, it depends on what you want to accomplish, its all about self defense and amount of force needed ... think more in concepts rather rigid moves ... what is the right move for the situation , for example in the Kata Jutte/Jitte the hand goes up a certain way and repesents grabbing and taking a bow from an attacker, this could be a baseball bat in a street confrontation and you cant say hey wait my hand needs to go "this way" attacker so you are swinging it from the wrong side so when I break down the Bunkai with my daughter and with students in her dojo i swing the bow from both sides having them practice grabbing it and taking it ... oss
At 1:51 there is nothing left out. I feel that it was your interpretation of the bunkai of that set. Remember you can have several version of the bunkai but the kata does not change.
When I saw it in our dojo I thought about it but no one knew what the illuminati is in the dojo and after a long time of practising half of it(which is what we took in the training) I watched this video and forgot about the illuminati
Awesome video! My 7-year old found this very helpful in preparing for his test. We tried a bunch of other videos but he found your commentary especially helpful.
OSS. Thank you so much for yours videos.I returned to pratice karate after 21 years and this tutorials are helping me a lot.I am from Rio de janeiro - Brazil .Thank you again.
Man thankyou so much you helped me a lot!!, because i"am 13 years and i will go to show in a championship some kata, so i choosed de Kanku dai, and these video in the smallest details showed me the kata thanks!!!
This is still one of the coolest Kata for me. The way it incorporates techniques and sequences from previous Kata underscores the importance of having good foundations in Karate. Thank you for the tutorial, sensei!
wish i had time to practice karate i like it very much and this teaches very nicely,by the way what's his name i wish he was my teacher i would very quickly even though i am older and would be a beginner i watch him almost every day.
Sorry,but to many errors,to be right.in all kata's showing, recomment updating. I do not speak about your skills, but it is important the it is the same world wide.Osu,Finn J.K.A.Denmark.
In what way is this Shotokan Kata being done differently from others elsewhere, which even made the movements so seriously wrong that you wrote "many errors"? I had a look at this: ruclips.net/video/NlhM242rvgo/видео.html The one taught here looks the same as what I saw in the above videoclip. The other one was done at "competition standard" - I think it was a Kata Performance Competition - and so, was performed with full power and at a high speed, while here, it is being taught to students, and hence, done slowly and broken down into parts. But other than that, I see no difference between the two (or four...as there are 3 participants in the other video).
What a nice job ! Thank you for this vidéo. It help me to understand kanku dai. Will you do the same work for bassai dai, empi, jion and hangetsu ? I need them for my next level of black belt
As a senior student(68 years old) I found this extremely helpful. Domo Arigato Gozaimasu.
Wow. Beautiful kata. I’m a returning 1st Dan after 13 years away and re-learning my Kata for 2nd Dan grading next year. Thank you for these!
Thank so much!! This is an excellent tutorial. Thank God I found your videos while I prepare for my first dan. Now I'm sure I will make it. Thank you!!
Greetings from Berlin

Thank you for this excellent instruction video, Sensei. Greetings from Northeast Washington, USA.
Another Sensei Walker 'gem', nicely explained, expertly performed,
Thanks for posting these commentary KATA ...very helpful.
The 3rd kata I've learned since lockdown. Thanks so much for these videos .

These videos have been so helpful. I stopped karate 35 years ago and started up again. Great for brushing up. Thank you! Uso.
Thank you so much Sensei for explaining in very better mode. Thank you very much.

Thank you for the excellent explanation Sensei!

8 years later tutorials still top ace.

The only two karate men to explain like this were Enoeda and Kata many moons ago. saves a lot of time and hardship

this is my next kata and for the first time since starting karate im nervous as can be. seems like so many movements to perfect. osu
Very good. Thank you very much.
Excellent way of demonstrating how it should be done. Thank you !!!

@@yangchensun5546 In addition, it is common that there are small differences in kata between schools and organisations.

The first yoko geri behind is made with a half step to the right, and the second has no half step, you have got them the wrong way round.
Yes,exactly among other moves as well.
