The kata Kanku Dai performed by World Champion Luca Valdesi of Italy, at the 11th Italian Open. He placed first. Visit www.karatebyjes... for more info, videos and the blog!
THE JUDGES ARE NEVER WRONG! In this arena Valdesi is the best for a reason...its what the judges want and they are never wrong. Its the basis for all point scoring sports. Don't whine or complain just accept and compete or go someplace else that is looking for something more traditional. I am traditional Shotokan and understand the differences and respect all these great athletes from the founders to the current stars.
I wouldn't say bad, just incorrect, Valdesi just needs to spend some time training with good traditional instructors, like kagawa, check out 'Kanku Dai - Ohta Sensei' to see a correct execution of the kata, look especially at the shutos, osu
its like writing ... a good kata is like calligraphy , his kata is like scribbling but very very very fast , you can understand it but its not as it should
if the guy would calm down , respect the tempo and well ... do it right he would be an incredible karateka ... i dont know where he gets these things , wasnt Sensei Miura based in Italy ?
I like luca form i actually study his stuff to some etend but im bruce lee with it at the same time, i take from it what i can use because i realize that he is cutting some of his stances and moves in half to get more speed and snap. Whether its wrong or not i always think of in terms of being able to defend mself if it works when you need it in order to defend yourself or love one then cool, but i realize what he is doing is like a short cut and sorry luca there are no shortcuts.
funny how kung fu and karate come from one another but karate can become robotic sometime according to how is taught, but most kung fu styles are always strong but still flowing beautifully.
@engela2 i drink to that. for every hater, they should have a video response to every kata shown on here. pretty sure that would shut alot of people up.
Non mi piace per nulla Kanku Dai fatto in questo modo. E' probabilmente uno dei kata più belli del karate fatto di gesti ampi e armoniosi ed è difficile apprezzarlo fatto in questo modo. Ovviamente è la mia opinione. P.S. I tempi di esecuzione se li inventa lui?
His speed makes him do the stances wrong and obscure...... Should clear out the stances. otherwise a good performance with an extraordinary power..... Super powerful performance...
Questo è un discreto Kata da competizione. Io credo però che la tecnica debba rimanere quella classica e non diventare questa serie di colpi mollati a velocità fotonica (in cui ho notato anche diversi sbilanciamenti nell'equilibrio). Insomma il Karate è una disciplina che si conserva e si tramanda da tantissimo tempo. Va bene questo per le gare, ma l'essenza del Karate non è questa!
@KARATEbyJesse When Karateka are judged by judges who "don't know how a correct technique should be excuted"and they are looking for ROBOTICS this eventually has undesireable backfire on Karate-Do and that's a shame!
+ 1 pour la rapidité mais ils mangent trop de temps et comme le dirait mon sensei : la rapidité cache souvent un tas de défauts ! Et c'est le cas ! Quel sens peut on donner à un kata pareillement exécuté ? A quoi cela sert-il ? A rien !
I like Luca Valdesi and I respect him very much..but in that video its not the best kata that I have seen and he has many mistakes in his legs and his stances but he plays and punch like a bullet and I think that's the reason of his winning every time that he depends on his power and speed only not the technique
well i find sometimes he pauses really long then hits as hard as he can without really focusing on technique... but this performance was a bit better than most. a bit.
Destilisana voda ispira minerale iz vašeg organizma - neorganske minerale koje organizam ne može da koristi i koji se samo talože uzrokujući brojne poremećaje. Minerale koji su integrisani u rad organizma ne ispira. Organizam inače za svoj rad koristi destilisanu vodu - dajte mu je da se ne muči destilujući sam vodu od mnoštva nečistoća i minerala - koje inače uzimate kroz hranu. Organizmu je potrebna samo voda - kao čista destilisana voda.
I like Luca Valdesi's performance but I have to say that this is not the best Kanku Dai I have seen. And though I am not at his level yet, I must say that I have seen some mistakes in this kata. He makes extra movements that are useless. Lot of kime though.
@enta3omry293, there is definite truth in what you say. The judges are full of shit if this guy keeps winning with the rapid movements and dramatic pauses. This is NOT good kata and anyone who says otherwise, doesn't know what kata is all about.
+engela2 True. I have also noticed that in every Karate video I watched where the performer is not a Japanese, there will be 3 groups of people commenting: (1) Those who say good or excellent with an OSS and sometimes a request for more videos for other KATA as well. (2) Those who say otherwise, often with language which are intended to insult and sneer. (3) Those who comment in a constructive, albeit arguable, manner who believe that a certain technique should be done differently. Those in (2) and (3) could be instructors who teach their students to do it differently, or students who have been taught to do it differently. Karate seems to be an art which is very divisive. After Gichin Funakoshi, Japanese masters have broken away to form their own associations and though it is said that they had differences, it is not known what those differences were, exactly. Was it a case of a group of them feeling that the head of the other group lacked leadership qualities? Or was it a case of them not thinking he had a good enough KATA performance to qualify to lead the association, and that someone else could do it "more right"? Or?

Impressionante...per velocità d'esecuzione e precisione!

Esse cara me ensinou a ser o que eu sou hoje
That was a well executed kata performance.
@LaLobaGitana

Perfetto un mito del Karate
Do you maybe have a video when he is doing Kaminari or Kanku Sho? If you do please post it :D
Qual é o estilo é Shotokan??? de que Federação???
Sim, é shotokan. Federação WKF
if the guy would calm down , respect the tempo and well ... do it right he would be an incredible karateka ... i dont know where he gets these things , wasnt Sensei Miura based in Italy ?

@dekioch l would really like to see u doing kanku dai
let me explain.he can do better than this,but no one else can,and no one else will for a long time.
thank you.
molto molto bravo qui c è tecnica kime quanto basta non per niente e un campione!!!

If you slow it down, you'd slow extra movements all over the place that are just plain wrong.
what a great speed :O
why does no wkf practitioners turning around on their heel when they have to...
bravo!
muy largo los shuto ukes no parecen bloqueos...parece k es por la rapides k emplea en sus katas
È velocissimo!

I'm not lying but I have won national tournament for gankaku but that needed to be more "perfect"
Just goes to show you that you don't need Hikite to get through to a final.
Awesome *-*

jeezz i don't see what's so bad about his katas. just at 1:45 didn't look like an elbow strike, but like he slapped his arm.
mmm es rapido y fuerte el loco ,pero le falta un grito con mas garra ,un grito que balla con el kata,pero en general lindo kata :P
Parece um video game, reinventou o tempo do kata,bom atleta ,com muita velocidade de deslocamento, mas esse Kata nao esta legal.
WKF nonsense. You want to see how this kata was meant to look, then search for the Osaka Sensei version.
I like Luca Valdesi and I respect him very much..but in that video its not the best kata
that I have seen and he has many mistakes in his legs and his stances but he plays and punch like a bullet and I think that's the reason of his winning every time
that he depends on his power and speed only not the technique
hay muchas partes que se come movimientos
well i find sometimes he pauses really long then hits as hard as he can without really focusing on technique... but this performance was a bit better than most. a bit.
