Sensei Akita-Kata Nijushiho

Sensei Akita explain kata Nijushiho.

People need to appreciate how valuable YouTube videos like are.
I started in the early 1970’s and we were lucky enough to have Japanese JKA instruction but only during local gradings, and even then the lessons were focused on the Kyu Grade syllabus.
So to get high level black belt instruction like this you had to go away for bespoke training courses.
In the 1980’s & 1990’s I would train on Sensei Enoeda’s spring and autumn courses for sessions just like this from his guest JKA instructors.
So you were limited to this quality of instruction to twice a year [or sometimes a couple more if other events were held]
And then you had to remember what you had learned to assimilate it.
so we Started to travel to Enoeda’s Dojo for extra training and even then it was pot luck on who was teaching and what level was being taught.
…..
You still need to train in these sessions but you can now in these videos access reference to this knowledge at literally any time.

Thank you for posting these videos.

I am impressed with Sensei Akita's instruction. I speak neither Japanese nor German, however I was able to get a lot from the refinements in body dynamics expressed by Sensei in a simple and humble way. Informative and entertaining. Everyone here at this clinic seems to be a black belt, and this should help emphasize for the younger gyo that the training and learning is a lifetime thing. Thanks for posting.

Probably best Sensei in Germany, very good technician, but this is not the way Nakayama-Sensei taught this Kata, as performed by Asai-Sensei. The rythm is off at certain points. The kicks should be Kekomi, not Keage, so the upper body WILL go 45° back, especially that you're PULLING the opponent to you at the same time. And when doing the Tekubi Makiotoshi in Movement 16, you retract your left foot half a step toward right foot, you don't keep it in place. And it is not wrong to have your elbow up and the hand above your head when doing the Jodan Teisho in the same movement. That's even the standard. What he is showing here is a variation. And in Movement 19/20, it is OK to have your body slightly bent forwards, you don't have to keep a straight posture. And in Movement 26, you make a palm over your right elbow, not transform to a fist.
