legkicker Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Definitely Unsu. You can here him say it twice at the beginning if you listen closely. In our dojo we do perform this kata a little differently. The timing is different, and the jump is as well.The jump is watered down by some, and I say watered down because they can't do it the way it's intended too. Not that I'm saying your dojo is watering it down but the way it's done in both of these videos is the original way it was intended to be done. BTW, there is a kick...or two intended in this jump, if you look closely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wanted to clear that up in case anyone thought I was. .The best victory is when the opponent surrendersof its own accord before there are any actualhostilities...It is best to win without fighting.- Sun-tzu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pers Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 That 's unsu .First guy doing it is ok ,but not the best and Kanazawa sensei is good but Yahara sensei performs it very well ,it is realy great to watch him do it if you get the chance. I like this kata a lot ,I feel I am still a long way away from mastering it ,but that probably means mastering shotokan ,so I think it is a good yardstick in that sense .Needless to say by mastering it I mean the whole concept and applications of the techniques involved by heart .And that doesen't come without years of hard work and quality instruction in the dojo .The jump has indeed a couple of kicks involved ,its application is very real and practical in self defence . never give up !

cathal Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 I've heard it is a technically challenging kata. One of the nidans in our dojo selected it as "her" kata, and boy she's absolutely amazing. .The best victory is when the opponent surrendersof its own accord before there are any actualhostilities...It is best to win without fighting.- Sun-tzu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patusai Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 It is similar to Unshu kata of So Ryu as well "Don't tell me the sky's the limit because I have seen footprints on the moon!" -- Paul Brandt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushido_man96 Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 I have to say, that being a Korean stylist, and enjoying my forms and the kicks we do in some of them, that I have come to enjoy watching these different karate forms that get posted from time to time. It sounds like the karate-kas have a little more freedom to specialize in certain forms as well. When I test, I have the form for my rank, and then all below it, and at competitions, I must do my rank form, or get docked points.I just enjoy the freedom it seems like you guys get. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
