I can't imagine how powerful and important this is for the young girls in this workshop; to see a woman (World Champion) giving instruction to all (the men in particular are probably regarded as the leaders in many dojo). What a wonderful role-model they have in Usami Sensei.

[muhamadfajrin]

When power, precision and speed finally meet beauty

[amaroloh]

Her movement is firm, neat, powerful and fast.

[mixahl]

Honestly the most beautiful Kata I have ever seen. When my instructors taught me this is how they imagined they should be performed. The Kata ideal. Such precise and crisp movements, you can tell she is a world champion.

[SeanDaNerd]

I knew these comments were gonna be this way.

[josephkorah]

She is so perfect in her movements. Simply awesome!! True World Champion indeed!!

[robsmith]

Watching Usami break down sequences the way she does gives one an understanding and appreciation of the tremendous precision required by this discipline.

[vinaymulukutla]

I love how she teaches in her native language and she seems very welcoming. We can learn even the most challenging and rigorous skills if we devote ourselves to diligent study and stay inspired doing it under the guidance of such masters of their craft such as Sensei Usami.

[johnleonard]

She is a kata savant. Imagine her as a kid questioning EVERY last detail. "Sensei, when we jump do I look up or straight? Does my left eye look in the same direction as my right? What about my eyebrows? Do they move or... ?"

[goggy]

How happy was that guy to be chosen for the demo. That dumb grin on his face was hilarious. Cant blame him, honestly

[raffster]

Even when she explains how the kata movements are done, there are absolutely no unnecessary movements.

This young lady master is a Kata Greater Goddess.

[scottsummers]

The way she does her kata is just amazing which is filled with fluid that combines strength and power...!!!

[vijendernathaniel]

This lady is highly talented and focused and absolutely not distracted.
She must have been taught by a Great Guru or in a good Martial Arts School.

[SilenMonser]

Her body mechanics and stance work is beautiful! Keeping elbows in when performing what looks like a grab to pull towards your center of gravity, sinking into the stances at the right moment to maintain stability, and executing the proper form at the right timing using footwork and the hips for the most efficient use of power and energy... Just... wow...

[stormking]

I could start at Rika Usami forever. Brilliantly beautiful martial arts master.

[HappyPrometheus]

Katas are the best thing about Karate. Once just after I was doing a kata I experienced being totally one with the body and having no mind, just pure consciousness for about thirty minutes. It's hard to explain, but it was very real.

[victorianorth]

dude, she's awesome! love how she's speaking English too.

[ErrHaBe]

Love her precision of movement and her deep knowledge of bunkai. Plus she seems to be a very kind person. So a champion in any means. Rei.

[tungstenwhizard]

I remember doing taekwondo forms for 9yrs. There's a certain feeling that overcomes you while you practice. It's not just about making a good movement, you feel it somehow.

[beepot]

Oh my god she is beautiful clearly but her kata is so crisp and clean. ❤️🙏 Amazing.
