Within the shotokan community there are variations of this kata all are amazing to watch. I train in JKA and Kagawa Sensei reminds me of my current sensei. I really like my current Sensei and the way he teaches is so similar. This one is the same as what I'm currently learning . No difference, great for my exam coming up to review! Thank you for posting this! Ossu!
LOL there is one guy there that is like, is this guy ever gonna stop, I am hurting all over. My sensei was very similar, he would work us until he was tired, never the other way around, he had no time for slackers, I remember leaving my dojo on many nights barely able to walk, with muscle burn everywhere, I loved every minute of it though.
Thank you for posting such a long clip of the instruction of Shihan Kagawa. Many more karateka around the world will benefit from this video than were present in the room. You truly provide a service to the Shotokan community by capturing and sharing the experience. Oss!!
M Cron - I echo your remarks. These days Kagawa Sensei is an extremely good teacher for western karate students that enjoy their karate as a serious hobby. Some of his pointers are little gems and he's constantly providing little gems that can really help improve us 'average Joe's' out there.
For me, Bassai dai is the most complete kata of all. My Sensei Aldo Lubes 10°dan, was always demanding with the posture in the execution of this kata. OSS
Geez people I was going to remain quite but in the face of such absurdity I must speak! In regards to Kagawa Sensei with whom I have had to pleasure to study and practice with and who is truly worthy to be called Shihan!... FIrst of all, lions do not concern themselves with the opinions of the sheep, secondly I don't give a hoot how long you been doing what, if you do not understand the basics of proper etiquette and respect then you mind as well shout your mouth. Even if I were to witness Kagawa Sensei/Shihan making a mistake which I seriously doubt then I would have enough decency and respect not to point it out the way some have here. The man has dedicated him self to the art for over 40 years and contributed beyond measure to it's cultivation. Thank you Kagawa Sensei / Shihan OSS
All to often the study of kata is criticized by those whom are "Arm Chair fighter's" "Spectators" these so called know it all critics have no clue as to the importance of Shadow boxing push ups and sit ups jumping jacks, rope skiping, weight lifting, ect. All are necessary exercises for stamina and strenght training. These kata tectniques are training excersises to condition the body to move sharply and swiftly in a multitued of directions while maintaing balance and maximizing power and effectiveness. Even the weakess of black belts is better prepared for battle than when he/she fist began traing. Great video. Oss.
Excelente Kata, Shihan Masao Kagawa aplica una técnica de enseñanza magistral. Seguirla tal cuál hará que el ejecutante de Bassai Dai sea excepcional. Gracias por este video. ¡Admirable!
Vince Morris teaches a lot of good stuff, but he is a very arrogant guy, that is not worthy of the high rank he achieved. True karateka learn humbleness as they progress, not arrogance.
Gosh, Kenshi, I sympathize with your situation - TH-cam must be very difficult for you if your vision is such that you can’t make out colors... :-( If indeed you can distinguish colors, then please allow me to share a fundamental value of Shotokan karate - respect. It is said that karate begins and ends with respect - indeed, ‘Respect Others’ is part of our Dojo Kun. If you have further questions regarding Shotokan karate, perhaps there’s a dojo in your area? Wikipedia says that between 50 and 100 million people practice karate worldwide...
KENSHI TORAOKAMI Ah, it appears that I was unclear... Well, Kenshi, you asked a question that was clearly evident by -watching the video-. It occurs to me now that you may be watching TH-cam on a Soviet-era black-and-white TV. That of course would explain your question, since all dark colors might look black. If that is the case, you might mention that in your question, so as not to inadvertently cause offense... But if your vision is ok, and if you are using a device that differentiates colors, then that might suggest that your question was um, rhetorical. That is to say, you weren’t questioning the color of the belts the karateka were wearing - you were questioning the propriety of them wearing the color. If that was the case, if you were indeed calling into question the efforts expended and the recognition received of those whom you do not know, that might be considered disrespectful. Hence my explanation of the role of respect (REI) in Shotokan karate. I hope that explains the rationale behind my above comment. How you receive it is up to you.

Kata is not for a "real fight", but for self-defense. The problem is, most Japanese masters do not show the real Bunkai, which involves pressure points and grappling.
YO PREGUNTO DESPUES DE TANTOS AÑOS DE PRACTICA AUN NO SABEN BASSAI DAI?? PORQUE NO VEO QUE HAYA NINGUNA ENSEÑANZA RELEVANTE, CURSOS ASI QUEDAN PARA 2º KYUS 1º KYUS PARA EXAMEN. Y PARA NEGROS BUNKAI OMOTE & URA QUE ES LO QUE LA MAYORÍA NO SABEN INCLUIDOS LOS SUPUESTOS MAESTROS.
I think you could be correct. I've noticed many people, with foot or perhaps other problems, opt to carry special 'dedicated' footwear with them in their kit bag [JKA's Sensei Stan Schmidt being an example]. It may look strange at first but if it comes down to giving away karate or wearing footwear, I know which one I would opt for. Also the lady appears to be Japanese, which adds even more weight to the medical reason.
Un hombre que golpea la pared, me pregunto si cobra dinero por dar una clase de karate a un grupo de alumnos de no mas de 50 personas, todo el mundo tiene que trabajar excepto los ricos, decía Platón que un rico debe dedicarse a la filosofía
sorry but where is this explanation of all those techniques? he would be great instructor if he would know applications after those techniques he is teaching but it looks like he doesn't know the meaning of those techniques because when you really teach kata applications not just "monkey see monkey do", it's not how kata should be taught
Lesski Sam Yeah agreed. I'd like to give them the benefit of the doubt and think that practical application was a prime focus and we just didn't get to see it in this clip by coincidence. But unfortunately that's not usually the case.
in other lessons Sensei does run through the application. on this occasion he just ran through the kata technique only. after a 3 hour lesson , plenty to cover on this visit. thanks
Bwahahaha Lesski Sam - you are truly hilarious! Martial artists spends thousands and travel hundreds of miles to learn from Sensei Kagawa, who is THE preeminent Shotokan karateka of the 6 million or so who practice the art... but please, continue sharing your insights... you think there is something about Bassai Dai that Kagawa doesn’t know? How hysterical you are!!
Some of you have to work on your stances but thats not posable uf you dont push your self to stretch. No technique is worth any thing if your srance is weak lol
Kata is the way to learn,to practise and to convey fundamentals for the people that come after you. Those fundamental concepts like spacial awareness, hip movement, force transmission or the fast change from absolute tension and relaxation which are important for speed and strength of your hit...those are important in a real fight. Teaching and preserving the art and helping following generations of karateka to be safe is just as important as saving your own skin. So don't be disrespectful towards the ones came before you. Be humble and try to perfect your karate as well as the art as a whole to give as much information to the generations after a you. We're standing on the shoulders of giants, you don't want the future karateka standing on the shoulders of a gnome just because you were to prideful and blind. Oss.

Concordo demais,tenho dificuldade em assimilar treinos as vzs devido a falta desse Shotokan...
thank you , obrigado !
HASSAN FEKKAK,the Coach moroccan is the best (world champion kata+kumite)
Porque shiai kumite é o mais legal. KAta sempre vai existir, vai ficando mais velho, naturalmente fará mais kata.
Muito Bom gostei 👍
Existe mui bons professores de karate no estilo Shotokan e indubitavel,mais esse sencei e incomparável.Ele e um fenômeno. sem comparação.
J'adore cet art martial

Thank you!

I trained in shotokan for 25yrs ,never taught bunkai, and only subsequently learned proper karate through Vince Morris.

I feel for all those black belts that came to learn some higher kata and then get served some brown belt form they learned a decade back.
Kyokushin is always my favourite
Are they all black belts?
Luar biasa.....
We loved it
good movments, focus training
Alguien me puede decir el nombre de este deporte o arte marcial?
Oos sensei
This is what im doing at my dojo
Watching youtube??
hose i like it..aahn nyong hasiminika meang train hard
Highest ranked in that dojo and then still the most shiny black belt.
Some people buy silk black belts on purpose so that they wear out quickly and make them look like grand masters in no time 🤣
They are all black belts??
most of them are

The old man at the front line looks ready to have a heart attack !!!
Are they really blackbelts? They didn't even understand or notice the sound sensie kagawa make coresponds to the timing and flow.

Very well explained. A great instructor. But that girl at the end wearing a footwear in dojo? What kind of disrespectful behavior it is.
could be an injury
Kagawa Sensei, arguably the preeminent practitioner of Shotokan karate in world, doesn’t seem to feel disrespected....
