FYI you have one groin, and you also have one chin. You could say "left side of your groin" or "left leg groin" or something like that. And in the other video when you talked about the chin, I think it was a sparring video, you could say "to the left of the chin" or "the left side of the chin" or some other expression. It's really neat how some body parts have a different count in English compared with Japanese.
I am not practicing Karate but another martial art, still Tekki/Naihanchi is one of my favourites to watch and would like to learn it. Thank you so much for the video!
I'm going over my Kata. I've been a few years with very little to no practice. Kihon/Taikyoku Kata are all ok. Pinan/heian Kata are ok too, but still practicing Pinan Sandan, Godan Yondan, still not perfect. Naifanchi Shodan almost perfect. These are all the Kata I know. After I get them all, almost perfect, I'd like to learn Naifanchi Nidan and Sandan, and after that Seisan. It's going to take me a few years, but I would like to master those Kata and their Bunkai. Naifanchi and Seisan are very probable to be learned on my own. I learned the rest when I was a kid. What do you think?
Plenty of practice for a lifetime. 💪 I struggle to remember the 26 standard Shotokan Kata (lucky to have lots of reference material). I do feel I'm missing out by not having the classical Okinawan Kata... Anan looks like a very nice Kata with nice principles (Ryo Kiyuna does an amazing world Medal version). Plenty to play with none the less. I'd like to learn Sanchin and play on variations. (Hangetsu/Seisan is the closest I have).
@@DragonDreamVNY I practiced American/USA Goju Ryu, when I was a kid, and then a few years of Shotokan. The katas I am practicing are all ShitoRyu katas now. They change a little, but are basically the same. I also practice Shito Ryu Sanchin, I forgot to write it before. Maybe in the future I would like to learn a few new Kata, but I think that practicing these basic 15 katas and their bunkai, can give me an important base for my karate, and also help in future karate applications.
I don't understand why, in this channel, Tekki nidan and Tekki sandan start in heisokudachi (hands in front as in Tekki shodan). This is an alteration of the original kata, especially in Shotokan (see for example Funakoshi, 1932 p. 91, 101 and 107 of the 2012 edition of the Suzuki-Johnston translation). Only Tekki shodan is started in shuri-te no kyotsuke, while in nidan and sandan the starting position (yoi) has to be done in Hachijidachi. If this is a recent change introduced by the JKF, I don't understand how it is justified. Thank you.
Hello sensei, thanks for the great content. I wanted to know if you can do this kind of videos with Bassai Dai and Jion? I am going to do them on my 2nd kyu exam on september. OSS!
Funny thing: before starting Shotokan 3 weeks ago, I learned Tekki Shodan as a white belt in Shotokai around 6-7 years ago. I was surprised that they don’t teach Tekki until you’re a green belt going into brown. (4th Kyu to 3rd Kyu) I don’t know how that will measure once I eventually join Yusuke Sensei’s class.
