Hangetsu - Commentary

[@erikbovee627]

These are extremely helpful. I live in a area without a shotokan dojo, and your commentaries provide excellent technical guidance that I would otherwise miss. Between you, old JKA videos and Rick Hotton's training videos, I'm set. Thanks for all your work!

[@MrAfp20400]

Always find a way. I salute your determination. That's the way to do it!

[@haroldbryant3105]

Thank you for this. I'm over 60 years and forgot much of the details.

[@JGTendero]

Great explanation, i will download it in case it goes offline.. in my years this was the first kata ive learned with hangetsu dachi.. the hard point is that.. the mind goes to zenkutsu or moto dachi every time...

[@MarkChapmanDr]

Incredible talent, very natural teaching style and kind + polite voice tone, all I can say is thank you for your time Mark Chapman

[@lauramckinley2216]

Thank you for sharing your clear explanation and demonstration. This kata has a very different feel from most in the Shotokan canon.

[@nonatocosta3617]

Fantastic! As always, it is the best detailed explanation of a Kata. I have always wanted to understand how was breathing in this Kata. Now I know. Thank you very much, Sensei Paul Walker.

[@sbh1311]

I practice sanshin and tensho everyday.....so learning this lovely kata was a natural progression......especially with this excellent instruction

[@marcobidin5796]

OSS! Great video, the explanation is clear and consequent. Many thanks!

[@DanielODunne-lw9cm]

[@basilfrench5410]

[@davehughes8212]

Thank you, especially as regards the breathing.

[@mohulick1876]

Thanks you shotokan senseï. I begin to learn this kata with your video and after i will work it with my sensei to adjust detail specificities for my federation criteria...

[@davidorme1993]

Seisan. One of the most classic katas in all of karate. Found in many styles.

[@mussayusuph181]

i like your kata demostration kata and your techniques are amaizing,Thanks Sensei..oooosss

[@ATKRON145]

I've trained in Song Moo Kwan Tae Kwon Do for 48 years now and we do this kata as well. Song Moo Kwan is a direct offshoot of Shotokan as Byung-Jick Ro, the founder of SMK, trained under Gichin Funakoshi. We call it Bahn Wall which means Half Moon also. I always find it fascinating how styles develop a kata to fit their philosophy. Here is the SMK version. kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6qzfnWaf6aWfKc

I train in Poon Tang Pee

[@MrAfp20400]

Slow and fast moves.

[@emilefeltesse]

My reference video to practice hangetsu!

[@joseb.t.laurent3656]

Excellent teaching, instructional video. The audio however echoes a lot, which affects delivery somewhat. Wonder if can be cleared up, or overdubbed... Wonderful demo and explanation of background and technicalities.

[@rhatid]

Very good instructions Sensie! Very good!

[@philippe2280]

Many thanks for the explanation of this complicated kata

[@rafaelquintero5001]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Your videos are constantly a source of revelation and reinforcing. Ss Rafael Quintero Venezuela.

[@Options_99]

oss sensei ,, thank you a lot .. one of the best explanation .. i love hangetsu in skif style ,,

[@timothyparker8197]

You are a big help when I practice my katas thank you sensei

[@hugomoreira6823]

Kata friend, it's a japanese word that have no plural

[@jamesmacchia2302]

Mine was fuku then but in the Isshinryu system sees an is the first kata but each. Style does it. Differently some styles add Kicks punches etc The style I like Left stance left cross hand open block then left hand push block going in opposite direction across chest. Then right punch ,left punch ,right. Punch then left punch Then. Right. Punch then step right. Stance it goes on

[@andersbennedsgaard4673]

Great kata, but if i may say so: In my opinion you should, after having explained the kata, show it in full speed, so that it's possible to see how it is really made.

[@rubenlee2894]

I learn from Shotokan Sensei then watch Sensei Kanazawa videos then watch competition video so you can judge the speed of the kata and how it should be done.

[@daveyvane]

My favorite internet Sensei is back! It was hard to recognize you from the distant camera and different setting from the previous Heian katas! Looks like you changed locations from a gym to the dojo?

[@igorpedreira]

Very good!! Oss!!

[@annalisacampo7974]

Grazie di tutto 🙏💙🌹

[@nycroninoj]

Great! Thank you. Can you please tell me the purpose of the double phoenix eye punch? Is it a strike (double punch) or are you breaking a hold on your arms? Thanks

[@rogeriosimal]

Obrigado pela ótima explicação sensei! Oss!

[@davidmctaggart4371]

Thank you!!🙏🙏

[@bellacullen1228]

Great!! I earned the black belt!

[@MarkChapmanDr]

Did you know that a JKA black belt is accepted as a first degree in most USA universities , so you could go straight to a masters degree without a first degree, well done an incredible achievement Mark

[@mandology]

Thanks a lot for this demonstration Sensei. Oss !

[@coolkmb3]

Looks like SKIF for sure (clearly, your do-gi says it too)! JKA and ISKF do it a bit differently. It's nteresting to see how different head instructors have different slight variations on the same kata. I see a lot of Kanazawa sensei there. :)

[@omarhaq4274]

Brilliant!!

[@alexkayembe4408]

I would be your first student once you come to open your karate school in our country.

[@noureddinebadda8377]

Thanks for this .. I wish to add Bonkai Kata

[@ShusekiShihan]

Very good commentary! Osu!

[@bren264]

If you don’t mind me asking are you SKIF or JKA affiliated? Just in terms of the details of the kata....

[@rohitbagdit.v554]

Thanku so Mach sensai 😊

[@arekusu7765]

your japanese pronunciation is very good. Have you been in japan?

[@markjackson5735]

As I understand it Sensei Paul Walker did indeed train in Japan with Sensei Hirokazu Kanazawa. He even wrote a book about it, Lessons with the Master.

[@tarabarbaralawson5902]

How many belts are there?

[@leeannamarieee]

now im sure i will pass my grading!

[@TheReverb1]

Hello; what are you talking about? First; you do not need to "know" Hangetsu to pass any grade. Then, if you are more than Sandan (where you are free to choose what Kata to perform) seems that you never understood the basics. Better to not do exams and understand correctly what is Karate.

[@xXBaadXx]

One of my favorite Kata, Sadly its not a winning Kata in Shotokan tournaments because everybody and his mother would go with a more complicated Kata like Unsu or Kanko Sho

[@eugenemok2295]

Getsuga Tensh.... oh wait, wrong comment section
