hello sensei peter

Pete, what a wonderful job performing Bassai Dai. I learned it long ago and was one of my favorites, along with Kanku Dai, and what a marvelous venue to perform kata. I hope they're able to restore the castle completely.

traditional karate is ineffective and hurts the joints

OSS thank you so much sensei

⛩️🥋

Very good👍

👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏.

Congratulacion Sensei!!!! Great vídeo!!! Thanks

Good material, but camera angle hides foot work.

Esse é o cara , Oss!

Congratulacion Sensei!!!!!

Who is he ???

Så bra

Hey Pete I like your channel and love your posts. You look very good in your kata and performance is sharp. If you don't mind can I offer some points to help make you even better.

bullshit

Just learning this kata and it's interesting to to see another styles take and the differences in moves. Video has been up for a long time now but thanks for sharing :)

Most Versions of Saifa do the first step in 45° angle. In Your Style the direction of your face still carries that. So gaining the outside is one main principle of Saifa. And you don't pull him in. You more pull yourself next to him. Then you try to handle his arm/wrist - to lock, to control ... an then strike. If he turns again facing you ... the the next segment. Not implying you should go straight from beginning to end thru a kata. But with Saifa, you could. In a sense of combinations it alternates from side to front/back to side to front... of your opposition.

The last part is wrong. You don't turn your back when doing gyaku-zuki. I checked with Kagawa-Sensei. Some people confuse with a "snap of shoulder", which is allowing the shoulder to move a bit forward with the Tsuki. But the back remains straight.

Coming from a Goju Practitioner watch it is a pretty good version. The main thing i can see wrong is when your in zenkutsu dachi and transitioning forward you have the habit of lifting the front heel up to move.

A very well put together video. Some fantastic kicks and performances, well done to the team!

Shite n' abukit!

Nice kata in nice place .

Shotokan is better than gkr karate it just is

Thanks everyone means alot got my shodan black belt check channel mill hill dojo for many more vids much appreciated again mr watson bonsai and mr maitland potato ooooooosh lol

Congratulations.

Mark. I am very surprised you haven't worked out who cubensic acid is. Try harder. Think sideways

Great kick sensi :o

Nice karate little white belt in corner. This is very good kata. Basai dai is my grade kata.

The beginning looks like the Jion yoi, in Shotokan style, Bassai Dai Yoi is closed fists held down instead of up as in Jion. Very nice rendering. Congratulations.

Great one, mate. Perfect control!

you certainly are sharp, but was that a sumo stance!!!!!!!! its a shotokan kata...also you seem to rush some of the moves which is a shame as it detracts from your sharpness and it may be the camera but your back leg on the kokutso dacha looks like the knee is in/forward instead of back (back leaning stance).

you do that one well

your hips are off on the punches and should be on, and you seem to be going up and down in height but it may be the camera placement, but the hips definitely.

oh yea i just saw that he stuffed up i should know this is my grading kata and my fav one aswell

theres so much you can do... PM me and i'll help however i can...

Nice, i'm currently 6th Kyu and I recently fought in a small tournament, I didn't do too bad but i thought i could've performed better, i've seen most of your vids and you seem to do really well so i was wondering if you had any tips or drills that you do before a tournament. Oss

Quite alot of Blue Belts

Doing the sumo and Backfist you need to Slow down

sure, private message me

Can you give me some tips coz i am going for Blue Belt on august 12th 2012

Nice, it is a shame you are so far from the camera. I think the video focusses more on the nice scenery than your kata. The performance looks pretty good though :)

Amazing kata once again. Just three points that I have been picked up on recently, in my kata. So I apologize if things are different in your region. At 1.01, try to pull your arms in from your elbows opposed to your hand. Also, although they look very strong, try to lock out your side kicks for a split second longer. Finally, the final move. I have recently been corrected on and told to bring my hand under the striking arm to perform the mawashi-uke. Hope this helps. :)

BEEP?! XD

yeah, james (gabitas) is the uk champ, beat me with a great sochin at the nationals, top guy too. if he's done the sochin he did at the nationals in the world cup i reckon he would of medaled!

I like that. Very controlled. Ossu

What an incredible story, big props to Mark, hope he keeps up his inspirational work, it really makes me realise ho lucky I am to be how I am, yet also frustrates me that people like myself (with nothing holding them back) do not give it as much effort as people like Mark.

Yes Mark is entirely blind. I work with Mark on a daily basis and know that if suggested it would be unfair to spar for his belt because hes blind, he would take that as you chickenning out of sparing him! Mark has no fear and does not feel disadvantaged at all, despite been blind he has a suprisingly strong sense of perception and he can work his opponents very well before executing strikes of near clinical accuracy. Now a regular instructor with GKR and working hard to achieve his next dan.

I'm guessing it can't have been that bad! To say there were only 12 competitors in the final (i think?) you must have done decently at least:) What kata did you do? I got 3rd place on my ring with 8.3 average, but peter durrant and a guy whose surname is gabbitas were the two that went through for kata. To say it was my first world cup (and in the opens, no less!) it was quite an experience for me!

poor... lol
