I learned this kata back in the 80s and I’m proud I remembered 99% of it. Good memories. Thank you.

[jplkenpo]

Excellent breakdown, the details on the foot positions for the turns was something I needed.

Great video! I had my first Shotokan Karate class last Monday and I've had a total of 3 classes. I wanted to practice this before my next class which is Monday. I managed to do it 3 times in a row after slowly going through it with you. The spin was the most difficult but after I watched how you did it several times it finally just clicked haha.

First time I learnt this I was 6 years old. Definatley going to get back into the martial arts. So glad I found this YouTube channel.

Thank you for this video! It helped me understand the steps to work with my 7 year old. He is now confident with his kata, and impressed his sensei!

[danielkaplan]

Thank you for this. My daughter (six-years-old) is finding it very helpful, especially the block as you turn.

[lexietsikouris]

This is the best one that was step by step. I am so glad that I found this before another one! Thank you!!! It really helped me on my turns. Those are the tricky parts! Thank you!!!

[B-Line]

Thank you so much for this step by step video. My son is due for his white belt exam and I have absolutely no idea how to prepare him for it. As one of the comments said, this video is a lifesaver! Hope you will keep posting more karate videos.

[simoncurran]

For the last two weeks I think I've watched this video 20 times. Thank you, I hope to come back again and again

Hi! I just wanted to say thank you for this! I’m not currently enrolled in karate because of my tight gymnastics schedule but I love to practice shotokan karate at home! This was a very helpful tutorial and helped me learn the tricky stuff of this kata! Thank you sensei! Oss!

[ernstqueller]

Bit late to the party, but thank you for this video, just started 1 month ago, but already practicing for my 1st Kata. This has really helped me.

[riddhiii]

I have a karate test in two weeks and this helped me so much. Thank you so much!

[briantreadwell]

I have my first ‘try it’ session on Monday - with no background in martial arts this was most helpful and encouraging- thank you

[skylar_d]

My master said I had to learn this before the next lesson but I procrastinated (oops) and today is “the next lesson” but this was super helpful and well explained, so thank you :3

[RWRB]

Thank you for doing this video. My kids just started learning and the Kata is very confusing to them. Now that I understand the movements, I can help them out.

[maashalsheikha]

Hi Master you are so easy to follow with clear movements thanking you am brown belt

[ProudYankee]

I'm doing my yellow belt test on the 20th of July... I'm really nervous but also can't wait wish me luck everybody I worked really hard for this :D

[paulcalugar]

30+yrs of karate and I still practice Shodan, Nidan and Sandan Kata.

I concentrate on many things, kime, breath, body vibration … also Internal waza

Taikyoku in Japanese translates to Grand Ultimate (Yin & Yang) Funikoshi O Sensi was highly educated in the four books and the Five Classics (Confucian Doctrine)

I can help to think that he thought of these kata in terms as internal waza (metaphysical concepts focused on the hara)

[harshiscontent]

Hello just wanted to that you're really helpful for me I started my karate classes few weeks ago and I practice at free time watching your videos
Thank you sensai, oss .
