Hi again. A question for anyone that has a JKF Shitei kata book: I do not have a Shitei kata book/dvd yet. What does the JKF Shitei kata book say about these...

... \ Rob, That is classic Yahara....He eats nails for dessert.. I never understood his karate but he is a JKA legend from the late 70's along with Osaka and...
Hi Jaron Nice to hear from you. Yes this is the kind of thing we should be discussing on the Forum and perhaps not who likes/dislikes who. Although that too...
absolute control? He fell over due to a wild technique that missed, that's what I saw, btw that's what I got when I did Shotokan, but then I blamed it on my...
point taken... falling down certainly wasn't controlled. I'll say I was impressed with the overall video, though. My control comment had more to do with the...
... Although ... I think it is about time that we start calling certain people on the carpet for their brutish and a-hole like behavior. These people get away...
... Yahara is a great technician. He has won several kata and kumite championships. Yahara is also a bully and the only reason he reacted that way is because...
Hi All Looking through the Wikipedia article, thanks Rob, does anybody else see a contradiction between these two comments? A) in July 2006 when grading for...
Hi All Many years ago I was introduced to a varient in the opening of Chinto which I have now adopted. I cannot for the life of me remember from whom but I...
I was at a Black Belt grading in Scotland 25 years ago when Enoeda sensei berated them for poor spirit in basics, then failed every candidate (dozens) for...
Hi Reg Excellent post and much food for thought. Having spent hundreds of mat hours (and a similar quantity of the green stuff) attending seminars on kata...

I totally agree with Bob. I have been marginally involved in one of these bullying episodes performed by a "Big Wado Star" and what constantly surprises me is...
Ok, I think I follow. I dont see the normal form though in the way your describe below "...is not the movement of taking the attacker's trapped hand across the...
Hi Folks I have noticed some differences in how the throw is performed in Kihon Kumite No.5. I expect that this is due to the fact that some people have found...
Hi Eddie, Nice to hear from you again aswell, Are you comming soon to this region of the world? We had some nice tai sabaki training here with all the katusha...

Hi Claudio Sorry could'nt resist...... "Forget about it" Eddie ... episodes performed by a "Big Wado Star" and what constantly surprises me is that usually we...
