Very nice. Especially the aerial kicks to takedowns as they require a fair bit of precision.

What style of Karate is this?

I'll be honest, you guys are sharp and you've clearly worked hard so fair play to you, but I hate what that "performance" represents.

To me, the time spent "choreographing" routines like this may have been better spent learning / improving your karate from a more "realistic" point of view.

Sorry, but I just don't get it :-?

I don't think its time wasted... they must have had to work out feasible applications for the moves so there's your bunkai. And being able to deliver them properly requires speed and precision, something which you'd need if you ever had to use your Karate properly. Its only slightly more showy than a set sparring environment. And if it inspires others to start training its a good thing right?

"Being able to deliver them properly" thats the key, and I dont think they did, because it was dancing at the end of the day.

Sure it was good, they are sharp and clearly well trained, but, they included Jujutsu techniques which, by their own admission, they don't really know. So it is a show. As a Jujutsu-ka, I can assure you most of the throws would not have worked.

If it was fun to do, and they worked hard at it, and as long as it is legal at the end of the day, then why not? Yes, the Martial Arts are about self-defense, and practicality. However, they can be about having a good time, too. Many people will put up an arguement like this. However, I would be willing to bet that those who do throw up this arguement, are also guilty of taking in an MA movie from time to time as well.
