Read this quote recently and it totally applies to Sensei Nakamura and his great Sensei who taught him.. "A True Master is NOT the one who has most number of students, but the ONE who creates the most number of MASTERS" 🙏🙏🙏
Great Kata performence!!! I see the Higaonna DNA inside you after all the many years of lessons wiht him 👍 Hopefully... i see you next time to a fine & inspired gasshuku in Germany 2020!!! Your best friend Armin
There is lots of parts, which help me to improve my kata, but in general I am disappointed. Unstable, and kicks do not have sense. I suppose he is struggling with his own identity (fighting with himself).
bullshit. if this is how higaonna thought him this, and Nakamura is doing it like this, it is the only right way to do it. Its easy to sit there and comment. If you can do it better, prove it.
What an idiotic comment. He is Higaonna Sensei's protege, how would you like him to move if it is not like his master? Students should emulate their Sensei as much as they can.
It is quite natural for a student to copy a kata the way his Sensei does it, and the way it has been taught to him. I had the pleasure of meeting Nakamura Sensei, and Higaonna Sensei, at an IOGKF gasshuku in Liverpool a few years ago. Nice chaps both of them.
Totally agree, like performing a song, a great artist would have their own interpretation of the song that's unique to them, not a carbon copy of their idol
Gojuryu's technique totally distorted: 1. Low hikite (in gojuryu it is held under the breastplate); 2. 3 initial Chudan-zuki: turn your wrist too early; 3. Yoko uke too low; 4. Keep moving toes; 5. Stiff back; 6. Small Mawashi-uke; 7. Morote zuki misaligned; 8. Nekoashi by moving front foot twice; 9. Charge the Kaikoken by recalling the index finger; 10. Low maegeri; 11. Nidan-geri too low; 12. Mikazuki with the wooden leg; 13. Second Shotei-zuki: low hand too far back; 14. Nukite with the opposite hand on the deltoid instead of on the arm; 15. Unnecessary movements of the pelvis; etc...
Maybe you're right...... But you talk like a intellectual one without guts. Thiis young Guy has indure many years of training with HIGAONNA himself. Stay humble please....
@@didiervidry7687 You don't know who I am. I've been doing Gojuryu karate for longer than he has. When I was already doing Okinawa Gojuryu he was doing Japanese Karate. He and all the slaves who, like you, follow him are not humble. Thinks about your liver and stay with an open mind please...
@@stephengrave5159 Hopefully he is a better teacher than performer. It is weird with Goju (I started in late 80's so a little over 30 years, so I am no authority) that there are so wide ways of doing even the basic stuff. Take for example the "clumsiness" (heavy, stiff body) of Yagi Meitetsu or the more "japanese" version of his brother Meitatsu. Same teacher, almost 2 different styles. The same could be said of the surviving Yamaguchi brothers, Gosei is more Japanese and Goshi is a lot more Okinawan, despite the lessons with Meitoku and Meitatsu. The same can be said for all of Miyagis students. Miyazato looks more traditional (in the stances) then Higaonna, but Higaonna clamed "to go back to the roots", and Higa, for example, used even more of the high stances that Miyagi was known for. The thing the bugs me the most in this video is the wrists. They are bent in the hikite, and makes the hands point at all kinds of directions in most of the movments. But as a teacher, it doesn't matter as much as long as he makes his students do it correctly, even if it bugs me.
Agree with lots of points you made, His stances are not rooted and look wobbly all the time, also the exaggerated pelvis movement is just so annoying and sometimes not synced with techniques. I thought at master level like him, power is internal and hip movements aren't that obvious
