Kata PAIHO by Sakumoto Tsuguo (HAKUTSURU) 

I was there in 1986 when he won the World Cup in Budapest. Then we often trains with him in Germany when he has been giving courses for a year. It was always impressive.

There are still many secrets in Okinawan Karate... ;-)

wow! this could not be more white crane like......beautiful kata :. thx for posting, Jesse

It's amazing to be training karate as one of sakumoto sensai's direct student!

thank You very much.

First heard or seen this Kata done...The Man is Karate personified!

I've seen different versions of this. Its similar to our version (Kobayashi Shuri-te), but has elements of Kingai, and Hokkaku crane katas.

Unbelievable internal power and grace

We could notice the link to Fujian White Crane styles

Excellent!

Hello I'm Alessandro from Italy. I have a question: in many hakutsuru kata it's present the neko ashi dachi stance but the look are some different from the cat stance present in other styles of karate. Can anyone tell me if there are some differences? Thanks a lot Alessandro

Pardon my ignorance Jesse san, but do you know the reason for the high pitched noise he made at 0:45? And of course, THANK YOU for the uploads!!!

Thanks you! For sharing this videos, are amazing.

The link between karate and white crane kung fu has always intrigued me. This kata by Sakumoto sensei clearly shows this link. Fascinating!!

My first expirience with this kata was a rendition done by Sensei Teruo Hayashi of Shito ryu.

Сэнсай так вошёл в образ, что подумалось вот-вот и он проглотит лягушку.. Как бы там ни было предыдущие ката в его исполнении - это Шедевр!

Congratulations!

Excelente!!!

This is like white crane style. If you can please upload the Bunkai of this Kata. Very Impressive. I like White Crane Style because I'm following Traditional Goju Ryu Karate Do. Thanks Jesse 🤝

Thanks for posting, Jesse Sensei. Are you sure it is Ryuei-ryu's?? Why it was not included in 'All Kata of Ryuei-ryu' (book + DVDs)??

His katas are always beautiful :), even though he sounds like he turned to the dark side & lost a fight with obi wan.

my final kata : D

Study or learn this kata ("Hakutsuru"; if you haven't done so already), perform at natural speed, then perform at a slower speed (for peeps like me who are "slow learners") then do a bunkai (fighting application), and some important points (students need to remember) like proper breathing when executing certain techniques, and other things you need to add. Sell it as a downloadable *.MP4 on your website, somewhere around $05.99 to $14.99 (depending on if you want to make it affordable to the farthest corners of the world, or make it "pay whatever you can afford" from $04.99 minimum to $14.99 being the maximum.

I'm curious if by eliminating so much of the integral body movement, reverberation, fluidity, and relaxation... folks thought this was an improvement of the original forms? There had to be a reason for making it more hard and rigid.

Very strong evidence of chinese martial arts present.

Lembra os do Goju-Ryu...Oss

Sou fa i karateku

Very different from most katas I've ever seen haha

indeed there are still many katas that are left within the walls of japan. :) we only know not even a half of all katas that karate has.

これは中々

Osu!

0:45 😂😂😂

🙄 I can't take this seriously. Copying the movements of animals and birds is not a martial art.
