Mark Walker l never did karate (l study traditional taekwon-do). I've always had respect for other arts and the karate masters. I had seen pictures of Kase sensei back in the 80s in martial art magazines but until now had never seen him in action. As l say l don't do karate but it would appear that among the top masters he had a unique approach to Shotokan. I've never seen any other Shotokan master apply karate quite like Kase sensei. Also in physical build he reminds me of the late Mas Oyama. I wonder if the two ever met?

@@MichaelWilliams-mo1vv probably as Kase trained with Ginchin Funakoshi as did Oyama . I’ve seen Kase as an older man and trained with him in the 1990’s . One of my old instructors the deceased Sensei Steve cattle told me Kase was a different standard altogether and very special . I witnessed a genius at work when he instructed . Sensei Shirai Beas ever present . He was the scariest man I’ve ever seen . Regal in presence and exuded power and grace at the same time .

Mark Walker thank you for your insight.

@@MichaelWilliams-mo1vv They may have trained together in the mid 1940s, but it would have been for a very short time as Oyama only did shotokan for 2 years before going into goju ruy. Interesting to think that the two people who formulated the two major competition rulesets might have actually sparred!

That is karaté !!

Entonces, muchos saludos! 😃Sin embargo, esta es una (excelente) demostración de técnica, sincronización y distancia, ciertamente no es una pelea real. Debe quedar claro...
