JKA shotokan karate

[@falastineshatila67]

Nothing short of Brilliance. Some of the best, clean kata and kumite I have ever seen. So much respect for your dojo and hard work.

[@ririoncam3288]

these guys are good , it's good to see a karate good quality , good work!

[@techFPV5964]

This is Shotokan and the way it was meant to be used. Very clean and powerful moves.

[@asairyu]

Very balanced grading......all three of them displayed good form......nice kihon and kata.......especially kumite was well controlled with variation of techniques with good execution & spirit. OSS!

[@sarlblkoknauf470]

but the left one was the best and the vtow others are very good

[@mauricefaulkner455]

Wow excellent forms and excellent techniques and commitment in the sparring, Gentlemen, you honor Shotakan Karate and the Martial arts

[@TheELiTeintruder]

Very good grading..great stuff guys...great kumite also.....oss...

[@kashifahmad93]

They are really tough guys... Great form, kime, speed and power. Excellent JKA Norway

[@michaeltait1495]

Very good standard from all 3. I particularly liked the first Sochin and the Tekki Shodan by the same gentleman. Tekki is a particular favourite of mine. Excellent kumite also.

[@rmazelsky]

guy on left - hip rotation and leg use great

[@matthewc.tritle6704]

Now THAT was a proper Sandan grading…over a decade on, but have to still say well done!

[@tchin1992]

Very impressive! See you guys in Tokyo ;). All the best from Canada. OSS!!

[@razorslice99]

Great video , good katas and even better kumite . I like that this JKA branch does kumite like JKA Japan and not the sport way of WKF . Its not that this is better but I love this version of Karate better. Thank you for posting. You have a killer with that tall dark haired gentleman.

[@fartsare2023]

The WKF style of fighting is garbage. And the bad part of it is that was the style accepted into the Tokyo Olympics in 2020. The olympics always water down the martial arts to a point of uselessness.

[@bogse]

What is the difference between JKA and WKF kumite? I know that in sport karate they try to get points and when you get a point kumite is stopped immediately. But I see these guys are stopped too, but do they still continue more than in WKF (sportskarate)?

[@savvasperisanidis]

Love the comradery at the end when the 3 new Sensei hug each other Greetings from JKA Colac Australia 2022 Hope these guys are 4 Dan Ossssss

[@dingo8babym20]

​@dingo8babym20 yes I know the grading was for 3dan but the video is 10 years old, so I hope they are 4 Dan's now

Great, Ossu!

[@Anton_Todov]

это сдача на какой дан?

[@DamMich]

Good kihon, especially the guy on the left :)

[@steverodgers4662]

Just started shotokan.. my knees hurt from the deep stances

[@savvasperisanidis]

Keep going They will eventually stop

[@bogse]

Check that your knees are in line with your foot. In beginners it may hurt but just continueing doing it it wont hurt, just a normal process for muscles and nerves to go through and adapt these new moves/stances, kicks etc. Eventually it all extremely good for you, just do it right, slow first.. check the knees are in line with foot, very important.

[@markwalker4142]

Plus examiners choice of kata taken from 2nd Dan syllabus Kumite Ju Showing Go No Sen, Sen No Sen & Tai No Sen

[@DoomGuy-kf8fv]

Their fudodache was wrong, it was a weird front stance instead of being torqued forward. There should be rotation in the ankles and hips to create tension going outward at 45 degree angles. They completely missed the point and use of the stance by doing this.

[@DoomGuy-kf8fv]

I thought overall they looked very good but this was kind of disappointing to see at this level.

[@Anton_Todov]

особенно стойка первого исполнителя была неправильной.

[@rmazelsky]

where is the rest of the test?

[@neilgennots7877]

For Sandan there is no more than what's shown in the video. The curricilum varies from time to time though.

[@PintoSan]

Congratulations, very good! おめでとうございました！ あなた達はこのビデオから凄い空手を見せてもらいました。 押忍！

[@brsdkhs]

Why isn't there any tatami on the floor? Looks quite dangerous, if they have to play kumite freely...

[@dingo8babym20]

old school

[@lucianofreitas1830]

Tou parado já tem uns tempos mais tou voltando devagar.

[@nipponkarateassociation6777]

good

[@lenabodin253]

I thought their stances need work

[@masterkatana7444]

For once not a mcdojo grading.

[@christianbrecht]

Master Katana Yes I have seen many JKA dan gradings on youtube and they are quite disappointing even those gradings managed by the likes of Naka Sensei. Poor kihon almost everywhere(check out JKA Auckland eugh). This video is one exception.

[@mihaicigoreanu5563]

Ummm this kihon is for red belt i know this bcuz i have the blue belt

[@saeedamour2395]

Think big

[@mattwalker570]

basics were terrible. wouldn't win a fight against a drunk man apart from the far left

[@mattwalker570]

each to their own opinion, and na I'm not gonna film myself thanks x

[@moehoward8691]

What specifically is wrong with their techniques and why would you not post a video of yourself?

[@bogse]

@@moehoward8691 They all got great forms and kumite was super strong.

[@lennarthage8942]

Ai'm a blue belt and very old, 65. And can do better then this... Jis
