Zenpo Shimabukuro sensei's seminar #3 | Shorin-ryu | 少林流沖縄伝統空手 

Does anyone know the kata Seisan? It was the first one I learned. But many years later, I've forgotten how it goes.

Karate is not a game.So true.

Note that Sensei's shiko-dachi is Okinawan, less deep, NOT Japanese influenced with thighs parallel to the floor at almost 180 degrees as is happening across the Western pond. I fear that Tournament Kata 'pretty' is influencing this trend to what I call 'more down, more down' abroad. Unfortunately, you'll see this in Jesse Enkamp's moving. Important to remember that Jesse is Shotokan. Also note the number of Yudansha who are not generating power through their hips. Again, a reason for these seminars.
