Thank you for posting these videos on the various kata breakdowns. I have been taking Shotokan Karate for just under a year and recently earned my blue belt. I discovered your videos when I was going for orange belt, and they have been a tremendous help along the way! I tend to analyze every movement and strive for perfection, and the way you show them in slow motion with different camera angles makes yours the absolute best tutorial videos on TH-cam.
Regarding Regarding your Morote Uke. I’ve pondered for years this technique. No one uses it in Kumite. It is usually done in a way that doesn’t explain the purpose of the supporting fist. I started to play with it in the ‘90s and decided that the hip had to swing in the same direction as the block. I changed the supporting fist to an open hand. One day during Kumite with a very talented woman, I did my version of Morote Uke and the poor woman flew backward sliding across the floor. I was very apologetic to her. I had NO idea that the Morote Uke would be so successful. Years later, I did it during Kumite with an old time Black Belt man and he also went flying backward and sliding across the floor on his back. He was shocked. I apologized, but he questioned why his Seniors had not shown him that technique. I pointed out that they probably didn’t know it as I had not been taught it, but discovered it on my own. Give it a try and let me know the result.
Very nice and detailed explanation...I did Heian Yondan and Bassai Dai (choose Bassai Dai myself, and my sensei hinted at me before that he wants wanted to see H. Yondan) for my first dan-graduation at the end of 2019, so i trained both of em excessively before, but this video even game me a handful of tips I never considered to even further improve it :) Great Video!
Thank you for your informative videos. I like how you provide tips on what to focus on. I would love to see you showing how to do some of the basic kihon for each kata and have much slower demonstrations of each kata. I find it very hard to keep up with the katas when first learning. Thank you.
Very nice bunkai explanations. Thanks. Can you do a bunkai session of Tekki Shodan? Also, on the Karate terminology, can you explain the foot work differences of yori-Ashli, tsugi-ashi, etc.
Excellent video, thanks. I found bunkai 2 interesting. We were told that the open handed reach forward is to grab the opponent's head and smash it down on to your knee, rather than performing a throw. I suppose both would work.
Good explanations of kime/hip movements for the first moves and with kokutsu dachi. The attention to details will improve my katas (shorin ryu Pinans).
Again thank you for your well done Kata explanation. I don’t understand hips turning away from the direction of the technique. If you do an Oizuki with your hips square and someone pushes back on your punching hand, you’ll find power escaping from the punching shoulder. If your punching hip is 45 degrees forward, and someone pushes on your punching hand, the connection can be felt from your punching hand traveling across the shoulders, down your spine to the rear leg. Please try this test. I’ve demonstrated this for several decades successfully. Thanks again for a good video!
Very interesting :) I was taught (20 years ago) in the begining part to move the legs fast and the arms back and then slowly move them in to the block position so this is interesting to watch I wander if I was taught wrong
My sensei says that both interpretations are correct but the one yusuke preformed (and what I have been taught) is the new main interpretation used now
@@cubbykovu8955 yes and no, the interpretation you were taught is correct but it isnt taught now. like in the kata tekki shodan the older way of moving in between the stance you used to raise your knee and kick but know you only raise your knee
@@cubbykovu8955 and to confirm what is happening is true here is a performance by sensei Kanazawa: th-cam.com/video/HrAiTCcatbY/w-d-xo.html the recording was quite old and it had the same way of blocking
Thank You for your videos. Nice shooting, the kameraman is the greatest. I am a subscriber. I have a question. Does front heel suppose to move, as the foot rotates, when moving from kokutsu dachi to tnext kokutsu dachi? Thank you in advance.
Oss,very nice.. Please make video on kihon and new technique... On uke, uchi, and some exceptional..newly invented you or others...as i just wanted to teach my kids...and student. Thank you..
It would be great if you explain bunkai for the whole kata. I just want to know your way of interpretation. There is lot of different kinds of interpretations by different respected instructors.
Very interesting But, in the part where we do morote uke and turn around to hit hidza Geri we also hit the knee with our hands, too. Like we grab the opponent's head and punch. And you don't touch your knee. Is this difference acceptable in Shotokan or is it a gross mistake?
@@KarateDojowaKu Sorry, I once again reviewed all the tutorials on the Shotokan version of this kata and it is not shown anywhere. I think I should ask Sensei again, maybe I got it all mixed up. Thanks for feedback🙏
I struggle with some of the positions and things now Because I have a stoma BUT I am teaching my Nephew in the hopes he will develop confidence and coordination and perhaps self discipline too :)
hi waku sir i am subhashree.i am from india but my father says japanees are very hard worker. sir i also learn sohtokan karate. sir sir wich kata come after heian yodan.
There us one peice that Is wrong after the slow motion you jump straight into the other stance the slowy bring your arms up instead of showing the turning motion of your hip
こんにちは先生、あなたのカタビデオはとても有益です！ :) 1つの理由は、2つのカメラを使用するためです。 あなたは見ている生徒の視点を考慮します。 講師が「後ろ向き」の場合、カタの動画をフォローするのは非常に困難でイライラします。 あなたのヒントは素晴らしいです！ 大須！ 私は間もなく平安神壇のテストをしていますので、あなたがそのビデオを作ってくれることを願っています！ 型ごとに一つずつ作ってください。 ほとんどの学生は型の助けを求めており、あなたが一番です！ 宜しくお願いします。 Hello Sensai, your kata videos are so beneficial! :) One reason is because you use two cameras. You consider the perspective of the student who is watching. It is very difficult and frustrating to follow a kata video when the instructor is "backwards." Your tips are excellent! Osu! I am testing for Heian Godan soon and so I hope that you are making that video! Please make one for every kata. Most students are looking for help with kata, and yours are the best! Best regards.
The thing i dont understand when bunkai is demonstrated is why its defence against karate attacks this i think is a mistake and my biggest hate with bunkai is multi directional attacks which is just ridiculous. Kata bunkai functionality needs to be addressed and changed to reflect some realistic attacks. Iian abernathey kata applications address this and more and are worth a look on his youtube channel for any karate practitioner regaurdless of style.
@@KarateDojowaKu probably the way of executing the uraken before the kiai because this technique seems to have different interpretations on how to execute it But dont get me wrong your execution seems correct just slightly diffrent than my dojo or his
I am *extremely* grateful for this video series. My eight-year-old is taking karate and is really learning from this. You are an excellent teacher.

Depends on the direction of the movement, but most of the time, stays on the ground

Thanks for sharing your vedio...watching from Philippines 6-10-20
No problem! Thanks for watching the video!
This first bunkai you showed, I had to do juuji-uke to block mae-geri and then use the morote uke to throw the opponent.
Where are the other katas? I found only 6 in your channel. I want See "unsu" from you, my favorite with "nijushiho" i Hope i wrote it right.
It's nijushiho, and the tutorials take a longer time to take......please wait for them!
@@KarateDojowaKu nice i will wait
Don't give up ❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Help I can't do that first part (back stance) without my hips locking up!
need to loosen them- hip hinges, swiveling your hips, check your stance too.
I struggle with some of the positions and things now Because I have a stoma BUT I am teaching my Nephew in the hopes he will develop confidence and coordination and perhaps self discipline too :)
Definately!
Very good
Great Job, Great Senseï. Were you a student of senseï Kanazawa? Thank you very much Senseï Nagano.

Thanks.
Excelent
Thanks for watching the video!
I like to do train the Shotokan HEIANs and Kyokushin HEIANs - almost the same Katas, but with diferent stances!!! Upgrade my karatê!! OSS SENSEI!
the instructions are so clear.....
but it seems like a goddamn hard equation
Excelente
on bunkai 1,why do you believe to go through center line? you open your self for punch to the face.
I agree with that! Nothing is perfect, so we must adjust the technique according to the situation.
Excellent+
Very nice.. thank you but I'm used to the term Heian Yondan not Heian Yodan
They mean the same so no problem!
Good
Thanks!
