French Team Kata WKF 2006 Finals

French Team Kata WKF 2006 Finals.
As per the other kata footage from this championship, you'll have to ignore the gawd awful commentary.

[@mycousinsgto]

They are awesome! Kata and bunkia are so sharp.... I will aim for that quality in my lifetime!!!!!

[@JBDuncan]

love how they are so in sync if you preform a kata it has to be in sync thats when we appear "super human"

[@drcldiao2]

amazing performance!!

[@SinH4]

the kata is from Shotokan, but the competition was WKF style. The WKF recognizes Shotokan, Goju-Ryu, Shito-Ryu and Wado-Ryu as styles.

[@DonalPhelan]

@nujashka The terms "dai" and "sho" denote variations of a kata (sometimes referred to as the "major" & "minor" variations). Hence Bassai Dai & Bassai Sho, Kanku Dai & Kanku Sho, and also with the Gojushiho Dai and Gojushiho Sho katas.

[@EhabHamdy1000]

very good video !! :) I have been practicing karate for 5 years I wish Iwill be allowed to practice this kata someday , I am on my way to get Dan2 (black belt) wish me luck

[@JoeAl2010]

Terrific!

[@xenomorphelv426]

@kenkatanadaisho the finality of martial arts is to prepare for war (martial = war) If we have to remember one thing about karate it would be to get ready to do Kyokushin.

[@tommbba]

@DonalPhelan what about that sho behind that gojushiho?

[@cheraz567]

i think that that was quite amazing and i would give it a 9/10 because when they bowed at the end they didn't keep their eyes up so that probably would have given some points or watevr off anyways it was almost perfect! :=)

[@rockraf69]

just amazing for bunkai

[@karate638]

Great!!!

[@SinH4]

@Theseus1000 hm, not really, most clubs which specialize in competition kata only do the kata which are good for competitions, i.e. Unsu, Gojushiho-Sho/Dai, Nijushiho, Empi, Gankaku, Jion, and that's basically it. The more traditional clubs train like, everything, but you have to wait a long time till you are allowed to practice them :)

[@belekoty]

Brilliant...

[@Theseus1000]

@xxands93 Most likely shotokan or shorinryu but some others practice them also.

[@SavannahGG85]

wow, look at that jump, spin and hook kick! 4:32!

[@JulianaKartsona]

Yeah, the commentary sux. I needed some kick ass music in the background or something. But thanks for the upload.

[@johannespihl]

4:25 is epic!

[@djronin007]

The commentator sounds like he's Capt. Kirk explaining Kata.

[@Theseus1000]

@xxands93 Shotokan has 25 katas but only clubs that specialize in kata competition do them all I asume, since I trained in 3 countries and 5 clubs but only saw katas up to Empi :) I somehow ended up in clubs that do kihon mainly ....

[@DonalPhelan]

gojushiho = "54 steps"

[@johannespihl]

What karate style is this? :)

[@HAGAKUREMALO]

@xxands93 No es shito ryu. Gojushiho de Shito ryu cambia los KOKUTSU-DACHI por NEKO-ASHI-DACHI.

[@TA_Tactics]

"I won't talk over this"? lol

[@kickbuttmama]

What they couldn't find any martial artists to comment? These guys couldn't differentiate between the styles if they were attacked in a brightened lot.

[@ROCKY44]

They are playing fine, check your PC :o)

[@pg86]

gojushiho dai? well thats what I learned the kata as I hear its also called gojushiho

[@Dreambuilderbricks]

ROCKY44, something is wrong with your videos with the WKF Kata's. They arn't playing right. FYI. Peace. :)

[@HAGAKUREMALO]

@xxands93 @xxands93 No es shito ryu. Gojushiho de Shito ryu cambia los KOKUTSU-DACHI por NEKO-ASHI-DACHI.

@ArtChaos17 Loses it? He never had it LOL.

[@ThePurdude]

"i don't want to use the japanese terminology for the non-japanese" haha yea i doubt he really knows the japanese terminology

[@mikegdlvideos]

ni siquiera pronuncian bien el nombre de la KATA!!!!!!!

[@ArtChaos17]

at 2:14 the commentator loses it xD

[@FenrisArson]

why this hate to the commentator? well sure, it would be much better when there is someone who understand karate, but i think he does the best he can.. not his fault that eurosports dont take someone who knows this sport.

[@MasOyama10dan]

osu !

[@dackdiaz]

[@blackbeltste]

This video should be titled "most annoying commentary"
