Yes, Nice sharing, but does remind me of the old stiff "Daleck". type "stick your hand out while walking along aikidyounot aikido" which I thought looked strange and ridiculous and which was very much avoided by myself and my students when teaching and practising within our own group which was Habatakukai ... People practice the way they were taught, but I always thought it has to be better than this...Later found out to my delight, I was right and was streets ahead of most clubs at the time ... I had a job trying to keep a straight face when on the grading panels I was asked to sit on.... So reminiscent of BAA Tomiki aikido in the UK at the time and before! Some still actually practice like this!! But there you go...You practice the way you're taught
These katas are still relevant and part of the Shodokan syllabus. The students demonstrating are have a long way to go before they have mastered the katas.
