Bassai Dai Tutorial 

Thank you. Very balanced, well explained, and executed. I am 70 yo now. I trained with the JKA phenom, Sensei Nishiyama, over 45 years ago at his Los Angeles dojo. He was very kind, humble, and patient. A great, compassionate man who I miss dearly.! I still train on my own, rank Yodan. Your effortless stances, hip movement, and wisdom reminds me of the old days when I trained very hard. I would love to meet you some day. I am in AZ. Take care...

Awesome. Excellent tutorial I've been watching so many on RU-vid Your details and different angles of each move is a big help thank you. Domo arigato

Your movements are very sharp and crisp with a great sense of power and control. Great video. Thank you for reminding me how great our katas can be.

I'm Shorin Ryu and currently studying and cross-training in Shotokan. Great video on Bassai Dai.

Excellent.....thanks again.....Great Sensei

Very nicely done and explained! Shotokan still the best.

Domo! Very helpful as always

Solid technique, I should also make a Kata video, never done one before, thanks for the inspiration.

Nice instruction and demo. We do the TSD/TKD verson called Pal Saek Hyung which diminshes the accplication even more than the "Japanized" Okinawan forms from Shotona and the others.Three things I find sort of sad is that people do not bother learning and using proper terms for things. 1) Mass is dropped and put behind punches/kicks, not weight and 3) speed and quickness are NOT the same thing, A person can be fast but not quick and vice versa. 2) For those wondering, the proper name for the "overhand punch" is called a "cross" in boxing terminology (the rear straight is is a rear straight NOT a cross). The cross is a very skillful defence against straight punches (argue this fact with Jack Dempsey, not me).

Nicely done👍

Very good! Thanks!

That was excellent Sensei Great technique & demonstration both slow & fast methods 🤜🤛

Oss sensei 🥋🙏😊

Phenomenal Sensei!!!!! Osu!!!!!

OSU! Preparing for my test soon

Congratulations on your tutorial video and your channel. What is your name and degree please? You live in Canada, correct? I'm Rilton Rodrigues, I live in the northeast of Brazil. I'm 5. Dan Shotokan and 6. Dan Kyusho Karate Jutsu. I have also an RU-vid channel - Zenshin Karate Dojo. I already subscribed to your channel. Oss!

Hello Mr. Allen(and everyone), we are thinking about reconfiguring our basement so we can practice Karate at home. How much space is needed for an adult to do kata comfortably? Thanks, I hope, and take care!

The technique after the Tate-shutō-uchi-uke isn't quite an Uchi-uke, as it only uses one arm. It's official name is Mae-ude-hineri-uke, I.e. front arm twist recieve, or formarm twist block, in more intelligible English.

i dont understand belts in karate. it seems that theres no fixed colors or order because i see people wearing belt colors i dont have at my karate school, and my karate school's belt colors and order are different from my previous karate school, and youre obviously professional but youre wearing a white belt. i dont get it. will you please explain that to me sensei Andy Allen? because this confuses me so much. thank you.
