Sensei This is Kata

Excellent instructions 👌 👏 👍
Kata is the foundation for proper training of muscle and energy efficiency as is push up, chin up and weight training 💪
If one does not train karate one not know Karate. 🥋

Just like good Aikido! Relax completely- flowing Ki....weight down, don't think, harmony...

Amazing, such control.

The students on the wall are closed minded with their arms crossed, some even leaning in the wall. Very poor training there.

Some kata just flow...some are ridgid and high impact. Both have their place.

His Karate looks like Tai Chi.

This looks like kokyuho in Aikido. And if you aren't similar with it you might have doubts.

Karate starts outside and progressively develops the inside, slowly.
Taiji starts inside and ignores the external as it is just a shadow of the inside.
These exercises are year 1 or 2 in Taiji, year 20 in Karate. Funny.

Learning Taichi suddenly made a lot of things in Karate kata click all of a sudden for me. Most people won't get the flavor of the movements because it is derived from chinese martial arts.

the shotokai really took internal aspect seriously. egami sensei did many experiments on the nature of power and, like tai chi, found that relaxation and balance were a kind of power, one that is trained somewhat differently.

I can also say, however, that a good tai chi or bagua teacher can show you a lot. eventually I decided that going to study those arts in pure form was the way to go. I am happy I did.

that said, I am very happy to see this teacher sharing a great style of karate-do
