I watch all of Rika Usami's videos! We can even see in her interviews all the qualities of a great martial arts master! She speaks sweetly, she even leans over to greet people! She shows strength and her power in the martial arts when it is necessary to show it! These are characteristics of the true warrior! Kindness and courage at the right time. These qualities are not acquired early on. There are years and years of disciplined practice, it is a natural consequence! I once saw a great Korean Taekwondo master say that the constant and disciplined practice of martial arts brings us feelings of courage, respect, kindness, humility. It is true! Only the best are like that! Well-known Jiu Jitsu teacher Rickson Gracie also said that the more a person knows how to fight, the more peaceful he becomes! And the Super Masters Jet Li, Jackie Chan, Tony Jaa, Donnie Yen, Bruce Lee say the same thing! So, I love Rika Usami! ❤❤
Rika's hand combinations are so insanely fast but still seem so powerful, if that makes sense. Put differently, I've seen lots of people you'd call "fast", but it's more "showy", without any real power behind it. She seems so focused and precise, I believe she is the real deal.
Rika Her Katas are The Best very clean sharp explosive a thing of beauty Lives in the form. It’s an Honor to watch her Sensei Pete La Bella FiFth Dan. GOJU RYU Karate
i love okinawan karate my brother is a instructor of Red Bast Okinawan that was long time ago 1974 and i am one of the student. my brother won many tournaments
Hello, I'm really sorry, this may seem like a really dumb question; I'm a new ass brown belt, I haven't seen my sensei in like a week (the sempai's have been running the sessions lately) and I think I'm supposed to know this kata for one of my belt testings... I have been through this kata before and the way that it was taught, the jump she did where the lands into a deep lunge... should that be facing to the front judge? Also we have been taught this 'jump' as a spin? I'm just thoroughly confused and out of the loop. Also I have heard that this kata has an alternative name too but I have no idea how to spell it... please help! thank you!
3 years late sorry. Unlike Shotokan, Shito-ryu Kata lack consistency between Dojo's and Kai 会. We don't even do a jump, we do a "drop move" and we face the front judge then turn 180. Rika does the jump version so no turn is needed. There is also a mini jump version facing the front judge, then 180 turn. Also look at 1.55min. You don't stand up in the original Shitoryu version. She does Inoue-ha, but there are other dojos that stand up too (looks more like Chatan yara). Also the Gedan barai to the neck chop it should in Moto-dachi - but she shifts her leg to Zenkutsu dachi - which I actually like, it looks and feels better than the original.
Nice perform, but any chance to perform in the original style of traditional Okiwana Kata?, Just couse is looks so easy. This kata its very hard as aI know. With honor.
Shotokan comes from Shito ryu, so mainly Funakoshi (founder of shotokan) changed Koskoun Dai (or original Kushanku) to Kanku Dai, changed cat stance for kokutsu dachi and some other techniques... :)
In mitsuren or sanin gake jiu kumite no time for that kind of zenkutsu, just kipa dachi Neko ashi dachi or shiko dachi. at some point tsuruashi/tora but for the fraction of second! real fight for life is what Kushanku Chatan Yara was, or Seisan, Chinto or Sanseiryu! While practising shakumei/setsumei no protection for forearms or shin, same when doing Goshindo! it is best preview/support for these katas.
It is nice tournament kata. But, as long as kata is being done for others and for competition, you are trapped in self-consciousness. You need to grow beyond the tournament stage to understand the deeper aspects of kata.
Maybe she was in a hurry and forgot to bring hers. So she had to borrow from someone else who happened to be bigger than she was, maybe someone competing in a higher weight class.
Revan Ruler understood. I mentioned men so that people would know who I was referring to by my comment,rather than they were men, so they were being arrogant. But.. point taken, thanks
She´s really good at kata! This kata "Kosokun Dai" seems to be her karate style´s version of the Shotokan Karate kata "Kanku Dai" 🙂!

This woman has it all...beauty, charisma, skill, technique, strength and speed 👍👏✌❤🙏
also great rythm...
Amazing focus and execution; so crisp. I'm a jitsuka and would never get close to anything like that standard yet I can admire it.
Ask a friend to blow bubbles at you. Do not let them touch the floor. Your speed will increase.
Thank you.

Wow 10 years ago damn old video. But why isn't she wearing her black belt? Is red for like a specific tournament setting?
Yes
Realmente incrivel
Excelente
Master Rika Usami
Is it Chatanyara Kushanku?😊
Perfect Rika
Good Kaka Rika Usami
in the kata, rika have scorded the passage of yoko geri -.-"
قدوتي في الكاراتيه هي ريكا اوسامي 😘😘😘😘😘
Can I win doing this Kata?
If you execute the speed and power tension and pauses properly then sure u can win.
Nice perform, but any chance to perform in the original style of traditional Okiwana Kata?, Just couse is looks so easy. This kata its very hard as aI know. With honor.
so like kanku dai but everything is in a cat stance?
Shotokan comes from Shito ryu, so mainly Funakoshi (founder of shotokan) changed Koskoun Dai (or original Kushanku) to Kanku Dai, changed cat stance for kokutsu dachi and some other techniques... :)

And that's why I don't like the weird pacing/cadence you have to do in competition.
i think she's well aware of that. Competition kata is sports, after all
Orenmanimnida love 😘☕☕
but now they have bought some changes to kata s
ما شاء الله
She is very good but every video i see with same Kata ????
The length of a jacket of the other girl in background is so awkward.
I think her obi was too high.
Maybe she was in a hurry and forgot to bring hers. So she had to borrow from someone else who happened to be bigger than she was, maybe someone competing in a higher weight class.
He said rika loses a lot of energy.
الفرق بيننا أنني أفضل اللعب بالحجاب😄😄😄
rinka Simi supper
Lady Bruce Lee
That kata is kangudai....in shotokan style
See some arrogant men competitors in the background, not bothering to applaud after her kata
The fact that they were men has nothing to do with it, i've seen plenty or rude arrogant women who don't clap at tournaments because they're salty
Revan Ruler understood. I mentioned men so that people would know who I was referring to by my comment,rather than they were men, so they were being arrogant. But.. point taken, thanks
PINAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN SHODAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

What?
Superb 💯..
The Shotokan version of this kata is lame and crap 😏
