Very useful vid., thx a lot! Helps practice at home what you've learned in class. It would be so nice to have the ones for 2nd Taikyoku & the Pinan/Heain katas. Thank you beforehand!

Thank you. I have a very good appreciation of this kata with your help. This showed points of emphasis that I will take note of on intensity and stances.

In age of 47 i have just started karate. This video helps me alot. Thanks

Thank you for the video!! Those moves were very detailed and easy to understand! Greetings from Brazil!

É Taikioku kata que os detalhes devem ser observados. Detalhes como o movimento em bloco. Punho e defesa chegando junto com o corpo.

Best video ive seen of this Kata

Well done Sensei! I’m watching your turning and find it interesting how your feet seem to collect at a neutral center before opening into zenkutsu dachi. In the slow motion it’s clearer to see. This is a concept I have been playing with a lot, the in between. We call it zeroing out as if necessary you could change feet, direction and adapt easier to opponents changes during the corse of moving forward or even turning. Other uses of being feet together in neutral or zeroing out are weight lead. An example would be a bo in your hands in zenkutsu dachi.. bo forward as the finish of a strike.. you want to lift the opponents weapon or arm in a let’s say “control”.. ok forget that.. someone is standing in front of you and the bo and pushing downward... you try from zenkutsu dachi to lift the front end of your bo while the person is applying pressure downward. Feel how heavy that person feels on the end of your bo.. while you are still in zenkutsu dachi bring back foot to front foot to more standing collecting your weight to one spot or actually leading your weight forward to give more leverage to lift the front of the bo. This is also shown in Shotokan’s Heian Shodan.. the moving from zenkutsu dachi gedan barai to niko ashi dachi doing the pull and then hammer fist. For leverage and weight lead. Great video!! Excellent kata taikyoku kata are excellent!!

thanks, at. last I understand this kata -_-

tks sensei

What do you need to shout while doing this kata , please answer me it's urgent

I have yellow belt test in school this helped a lot I will make a edit note if I pass

bueno

Let me see if I understand this correctly…. I see “Okinawa Dojo”. Yet I see Shotokan (Japanese Karate) version Taikyoku. Honestly, there is much difference between Japanese and Okinawan karate.

I think you forgot "Kime"... Have you ever heard somthing like this??? (No hate, only a tip)

This kata easy

I'm sure Kata has it's benefits, looks like it helps with memory if you try to remember all the steps in Kata, probably with breathing and form too. But nobody fights with reverse punches anymore, most skilled martial artists are mixed martial artists and they don't use reverse punches in UFC or MMA. They don't have one arm back and one arm forward. Most have their hands up protecting their face. Maybe hundreds of years ago everybody fought like gentlemen using these punches, but not now. I'm about to take my first Karate class soon and see what Karate has to offer or not offer. I'm a little sad by this and hope my former instructor goes back to teaching Judo as 100 percent of fights start standing up but 80 percent of fights end up on the ground. I was a former brown belt in Judo and a current orange belt in Hapkido and I see the usefulness in those 2 styles which are basically the same with the usefulness of Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai and boxing. I think it's cool how the person in this video has a black belt that is all worn out, it shows how much he's practiced this particular style. But I do not believe in sticking to one style and learning all styles and picking things that work for you and throw out that which is not practical for you in a real situation.

In JKA we turn on the heel, so you are not JKA.

very poor Stance and no spotting .
