It is a great pleasure to watch katas performed by true masters. These katas are different than katas of champions from current competitions. I would say these katas are alive.
Hi, thanks 4 your msg; you mean English translation inside the video? If so, there is none. Because this clip was handed over to me as a special favor; form Asai-sensei's daughter
Dear Master Tetsuhiko Asai, Awful sorry, for the spelling error I made in wiritng your name. It was unintentional, out of being moved of your early departure into the eternity. We wish, we could have enjoyed your presence for longer period. But the Almighty has decided to have you on His side. My condolence to the family and followers as well. Paul
There is no "Almighty" in the Buddhist pantheon. You are using a Judeo-Christian Theological term for someone who was either a Taoist, Shintoist, a Buddhist or a combination of all three. There is no belief of a "Personal Almighty God" and even in the Middle Eastern Jewish Religion, "God" or the Almighty isn't known to cause an early death because He's anxious to see them in His Realm! Sorry. Reincarnation or Annihilation is what's usually believed. Of course that's also mere speculation. It's all a question of Authorityand which teachings you deem to be credible.
Dear Master Tesuhiko Asai, May you rest in peace and your legacy in Karate kept and honoured for rest of the times. Paul, retired instructor of Goju-ryu Karate
omg look at those fantasy techniques , lol shitokan has this stupid practise where a guy attacks with a stupid reverse punch and the master does a series of finishing blows while the other guy just stands still.

I don't get it. How can a man of his abilities die at the age of 71 due to liver failure?. I would even say he had the best physical form anyone could hope to achieve.
