Hakucho kata by sensei R.Lindsey

Interesting. It has some of the elements of Matayoski Hakutsuru. the one that you have shown appears to be a bit more advanced and a bit longer than the Matayoshi verson. Thanks

which one you refering to? the first one by Mr. Lindsey or second one with Sensei Matayoshi? did you see the second clip? is this the one you refering as matayoshi Hakutsuru?

do you practice any crane kata? do you use it in self defense techniques?

Ooops, bad me. I did not see the second clip from Matayoshi. I was referring to the Matayoshi version that I was taught. I have to go see the second clip. Sorry about that

Sorry for what will most likely be a post so soon but...after viewing the Matayoski version that was presented I am sorry to say that I do not know what it is that I was taught a number of years ago. It has elements of the Lindsey version but it was nothing like the Matayoshi version. This whole thing was most educational.

Boy that is a long kata Are all the kata that long?

did you fall into sleep?

this could be one of the longest, most of them are shorter camparable to Bassai Dai or Kusanku Dai in shotokan. some of them show the techniques in all four directions or sequences are repeated 3 times based on Sanchin exercise so they look longer.

I like long katas. They force you to try to sustain a high level of power and speed in your technique over a long period of time. They make you push yourself.

No I didn't fall asleep I thought while watching it, that is seemed to be a mixture or bits and pieces of several kata. Is that right?

here is Mr. Alexander performing, kunemura Hakutsuru

this is sensei Matayoshi doing Hakucho kata (what i hear on the tape is "Hakutsuru no kata karate" maybe somebody can help here with translation)

Btw P.A.L., how old is this video (of Lindsey Sensei), and how did you acquire it? Is it something you recorded yourself? I think that it's okay, but it definitely is not the best form I've seen him do and I don't thnink it conveys Lindsey Shinshii's ability. Even something like Nijuken would have been better to show.

Just wondering if he even knows it's been all over YouTube...
