Kanku Dai (Full Tutorial)

Welcome to Ultimate Karate! In today's video we are learning Kata Kanku Dai (観空大).
Jason Leung is a 4th Dan in Shotokan Karate Do :) 🥋⛩
~
In Shotokan karate, Kankū-dai consists of 65 movements executed in about 90 seconds. It is a major form of the kata; its equivalent minor form is called Kankū-shō. Kankū-dai was one of Gichin Funakoshi's favorite kata and is a representative kata of the Shotokan system. The embusen (path of movement) of Kankū-shō is similar to that of Kankū-dai, but it begins differently. It is a compulsory Shotoan kata and of high technical merit. As a result of Anko Itosu's efforts, the Heian kata contain sequences taken from Kankū-dai.

Thank you so much. The dojo where I earned my 1st dan closed many years ago and during the pandemic I decided to relearn the black belt forms that I used to know (I only knew two well, but want to learn more, once I get better at this one and Bassai Dai!), but it's hard with only the text book. It's also hard to watch a video while practicing with so much motion, but the way you go through it three times, once at full force and speed, once with every move explained slowly, and once with the count (and not quite full speed) is SO perfect! Your video is the first one that has really worked for me to help me remember the last 20 seconds, and the fine tuning of technique, and I've been looking around for quite a while. Thank you thank you thank you very much! Oss!

Hi Jason! I'm Brazilian, I live in Bahia. I graduated to brown belt in Shotokan Karate, approximately 40 years ago, when I suffered a serious motorcycle accident and was forced, on medical advice, to stop practicing Karate. Today I am 70 years old and I returned to practicing Karate approximately 2 months ago. Today, despite my age, I am completely healthy and my goal is to take the black belt exam. I follow your martial arts channel (best channel). Very educational and with excellent technical performance of Karate. Strong hug. Augusto Góes.

Arigatou, Jason! May I ask, (literally no karate politics and prejudice) which organisation did you get your black belt from? There seems to be very minimum information on karate organisations such as JKA, JKS, SKIF, ITKF etc....

[SUMITABose-vz]
