He as on speed. Fast. He sould slow down the slow parts.

My sensei has one of the US made Kamikaze. Needless to say he never bought another after getting the Kamikaze/Tokon.

Why did you repost the video that I posted and what do you mean, weird? There are different variations of this kata. In this video it was done a "few years" back. I'm not sure what the current JKA way of doing this Kata is, since you're shotokan you should know. I know the Shito Ryu way of doing this kata but it is near identical minus a few differences. The strike goes to the inner thigh in the way I do this Kata and how I've seen other JKA shotokan practitioners do this kata in the last decade. Kanazawa is doing this kata more then a decade ago. I can't answer you why but that maybe shotokan tried to break away from the Shito Ryu way of doing it? Shotokan did get this from Mabuni, not Funakoshi, so that would make sense. Cause I thought it was part of your signature.

I knew there was something weird about him slapping his thighs.

ooooo So THOSE are the Fake Kamikaze's. It has a Sun label. I was wondering why people had the sun label and called it a kamikaze. I've got a real deal kimikaze America, bought a few yer back, and just ordered a Soverign with the new tokon label. It's WAY better than proforce. I've had proforce b4.

Spray some scotch guard on the inside

I wear Kamikaze/Tokon America. Good heavy weight, canvas. Just got the Soverign in yesterday. Haven;t tried it yet, but it;s much lighter than my America

I don't know this style or kata. I do shotokan. But he is fast, I admit that.

It made me think. If both opponents are right handed/legged. And one leads with the right foot while the other leds in the usual left foot. it opens your stomach side to their right leg.(back leg) where as normally it would be your back to the right leg.

When sparring, does it matter if you and you opponent are facing the same side vs diff sides? IE. Being either right or left handed with left of right for forward. Nomally people are tight handed, left foot front and when they face eachother, they are at opposing sides. So what if a right handed person was right foot forward and they both faced the same side. Advantage of any kind?

bruce lee started with wing chun. =P

It's funny my sensei was telling me to tie my belt differently. Kept telling me to make it looser and have the knot under the belly. Immediately the image came into my head of those karate guys with guts the size of manhattan.

I do karate and honestly Kiai serves very little purpose except for displaying "spirit" IMO spirit is in your movements, u don't need to make noise.
