Thank you so much for this demonstration . I am Shotokan practitioner for decades and an avid fan and follower of the late Karate Master Hirokazo Kanasawa.
I recall sensei Kanazawa many years ago at a black belt gathering during which he demonstrated remarkable power, control, quite obvious inner and psychological calm, all borne out of many years of dedicated practice. His ability to tension one side of his abdominal muscles was frankly astonishing.
@@Chrismw81 By *"crescent steps"* do you mean the stance *"Hangetsu Dachi"* that's used in the Kata ? It's not common. It's a stance specially used for the Hangetsu Kata, hence the name *Hangetsu Dachi* , the *Half - Moon Stance*
Thanks a lot for this karate class. I am studying Jion and Hangetsu to pass my 2nd Dan degree for the next year and this is going to help me a lot during my trainings. Thank you very much !
Ich bin froh das herr kanazawa hangetsu fuer uns richtig spricht das ist wichtig fuer tiefes verstehen auch wenn ich die hagetsu filme von boler erstaunlich erleuchtent finde ist das hier nix amderes und durch die sprache sehr relevant moeglich was japan fuer karate fundamental erstmal premisiert danke und echten respekt dafuer
Kansas.oss.firefighters are the best .white belt three cubed .yellow belt three cubed,orange belt three cubed.green belt three cubed,blue belt three cubed,purple belt three cubed,red belt three cubed,brown belt three cubed. black belt sitched. Oss😊😊😊
So at start he blocks the. Counters but his range is terrible. His punch is fully extended but it barely reaches the target. The distance between him at the attacker is far too generous so I can only think that this all only applies to sport karate and not real world encounters

Isshinryu guy here: question for you: are "crescent steps" common in Shotokan?

@@abeyroy007 not the stance, but the stepping motion itself
@@Chrismw81 Ye that's exclusive for the Hangetsu Kata
