Heian Godan - Commentary

[@djwhiteraven]

Im autistic and train Shotokan Karate for fun. I find these videos very helpful, especially with the harder katas like this one. Thankyou so much for these videos, theyre a huge help.

[@kenthomson2420]

Couple yrs still use this video, one of best commentaries out there, Thanks again Sensei.

[@raysmith1971]

I watch loads of karate videos online but for the best most well explained and demonstrated techniques, your videos are the best there is on youtube. Thank you Sensei!

[@rgochina]

Always the best lessons. Thanks Sansei for helping an old man improve his life through Karate.

[@samcrosswords8979]

I have browsed through dozens of videos, and I can confidently say that you’re presenting the most valuable educational material. I’ll never be thankful enough. Thank you very much Sensei. Best regards from Algeria.

[@RAM-sz5uq]

After moving home thus switching from Shito-Ryu to Shotokan there are similarities but this last part has eluded me (trying to stay ahead of the curve). Nicely explaind and very helpful, thank you

[@ngamo52Nick]

This video is one of the reasons I passed my grading to 4th Kyu yesterday. Thank you so much Sensei. Osu.

[@lmnop3702]

Damn you writ that 8 years ago, what belt u at now?

[@charlesquinlan8642]

Thank you very much. My school (Do Jo) closed a number of years ago, and I recently decided to renew my studies and practice. Your videos and commentaries are priceless!!!!!

[@amaninderkaur1930]

this was really helpful for me. i didnt understand this kata, but sensei's explanations are really clear and helped a lot

[@ildego1]

best explanation of this kata i have ever come across. Wonderful for my green belt test coming soon

[@yaronabekasis258]

Im having a test to brown belt in a few weeks, and this and all of your videos helping me so much at a period when my sensei cant teach katad through zoom

[@ivanoddcat]

A very clear, no-nonsense guide - many thanks for sharing Sensei.

[@sinisamitrovictivat]

Exelent! The best tehniks from youtube today. Thanks

[@saramaslmani9527]

I couldn't find a video that explains the kata well for me to understand it but this video explains it really well and step by step i loved this video

[@ephraimntapu5473]

Wow, i hv been searching on how to learn slowly like this. Thank you very much

[@ERIK31351]

At 2:07 the way I learned it was that the right hand comes through the middle more, in sync with the knee, and is more of a straight uppercut that where both the knee and the right hand strike are focusing your momentum and therefore increasing your power.

[@dominickfagan4050]

Always love your videos hope you are well thank you for your time and patience ❤ 🥋🥋🥋🥋🥋🥋🥋

[@malachydevlin7809]

the fine footwork and intimate details are important but what is more important is treating this kata as a self contained self defence system, a series of techniques stored in a KATA so that they can be practiced and remembered. I explain the Bunkai as I show the movements, e.g the move where one turns away and strikes up to an upper cut.. a shoulder throw. and the jump would be landing on them and placing them in a lock/pin. I then take them aside and get them to do a shoulder throw and a pin on a partner.. they can then practice the imaginary movements at home and that can only be good!!

[@xxRooz]

Thanks, finally one with explanation. My Sensei wants me to practice at home as well, this makes it way easier! :)

[@bellacullen1228]

You are the best sensei ever! This will surely help me earn the green belt!!

[@cannonman8814]

You're the best this will help me get the brown belt I'm so excited

[@cannonman8814]

This Will promisingly Help ME earn The brown belt

[@YB_SEV7]

[@debanjandutta2235]

[@hlomoyo6655]

[@motherknows8894]

Thank you Sensei, you made this such a practical way of learning this Kata-OSS!

[@4bluedoesstuff4]

My Sensei had taught me the kata but I had forgotten some moves so thank you for showing me :)

[@markjackson5735]

I have found your tutorials very useful over the years, I am currently attempting to learn the Heian Kata Ura; I think myself and others would find it useful too if you could go through Heian Yondan and Godan Ura.

[@gavrielgavriel]

Thank you. Very detailed way of explaining.

[@Livontheege11]

thanks so much for this. i've been having trouble with this one because it is the first without a count.

[@yilkalmihertu7338]

THANKS V.MACH SENSEI I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THANK YOU!!!

[@carlosn3065]

Best instruction and demonstration. Excellent explanations. Working on earning a Blue Belt.

[@GarySchick-r4v]

These videos may be 10 to 15 years old but I find it useful but I find his teachings correct and very useful and they are easy to remember

[@deanpullen6283]

As a 1st kyu, it pains me how much I have forgotten with these katas! I stopped training over 3 years ago, and am preparing to go back within the next couple of weeks!!

[@a.ethirajanathimoolam2587]

Best explanation. I LOVE YOU SIR❤

[@DerangoChris]

Your videos have been very helpful, thank you Oss :)

[@subhajitmukherjee3962]

[@1jzsuprapwr]

[@shashikanttewary863]

You explained the steps very nicely , thank u sir

[@catfirst2593]

Thank you for helping others!

[@dman4435]

Still watching and learning from this video...... wow 12 years ago.

[@AlderaanGirl2]

My favourite kata, thank you for this amazing demonstration.

[@matthewlink7438]

Whenever I need to learn a kata I come to you. You have some great videos, but in the future please try and move the camera as you do it so we can see all the moves.

[@soulfulsax]

Always very clear explanation! Thank you Sensei for sharing your knowledge!

[@mzcanel1908]

Salam karateka Osh salam kenal (Jakarta indonesia)🙏👍

[@InbalW]

thank you, it is very clear and easy to follow your teaching.

[@nedumangadan]

Sensei is an excellent tutor. Hs explanations are crystal clear. Though I am doing Shorin Ryu I try to practice all his kata demos back at home. Meantime it would be interesting to know his name and his nationality. Does any one know ? Please Reply.

[@MrMattias87]

+Vinayaraghavan Nair It's Sensei Paul Walker and he's American.

[@khabirnooristani9159]

Good sensei, Mr. Kanazawa lineage, nice one...

[@killiangibbons3176]

Just leaving for a kata & kumite competition and this was very helpful.😉

[@kaycie_plays4618]

Thanks sensei my grading is in 2 weeks this will deffinateley help me:) ty

[@aalb1970]

@Sephirothj666: I agree with the other poster. Your remarks are disrespectful. Also you are incorrect. In the SKIF system your front leg is supposed to move to the side when you switch from zenkutsu dachi to kokutsu dachi. It's stated clearly in the official syllabus.

[@josephevangelista2419]

I am a green belt in shotakan karate, I forgot this kata thank you for this tutorial!

[@ilabeiyu]

these vids are so helpful

[@MrPanterafan1987]

Watching your videos do help me pass my gradings

[@theadamdonohoe]

Very userful. What is the brand of suit you have, and its weight and material?

[@ibrodjjdj4915]

The suit is called KIMONI and the black belt he has is the last belt to a master :)

[@xxAmi15]

kata vary so much between styles, but that's what makes it so awesome :) I do shukokai karate, and godan has a few different stances and movements, etc. I'm going to have to switch styles when I go to university, so it's going to be confusing, but very fun!

[@jmkproductions7292]

+css1971 I agree

[@mstv7213]

Complex Kata; Excellent Video

[@killiangibbons3176]

This channel is great! There's another one where he just does it too fast for me and with a really bad camera so this one is 10000000000000000000000000000% better

[@footballbloggers7815]

Killian Gibbons I've watched the same one True

[@saadmounir5742]

Killian Gibbons thats kanazawa he's this mans teacher for approx 3 years

[@peacemaker8560]

Football Bloggers well yea this video was made in 2010 and that was made in 2006. Also the other one shows it slowly as well, I honestly prefer both channels.

[@killiangibbons3176]

Peace Maker you can't prefer two things it's one or the other

[@peacemaker8560]

Killian Gibbons I prefer chocolate and ice cream. And I won't be able to choose one if u asked me too. I use the older version just to help me remember the kata and this one to help me actually learn it.

[@Shotokan07]

Very well done. Thanks for sharing.

[@TestyKillsZA]

Awesome thank you so much for your teaching skills and knowledge sharing.

[@otonielsuarezii788]

Thank you for your insight!!!!

[@senseiniladriroy7376]

You are the best and great Sensei

[@chorse70]

At 1:59 you push away and I was told you do a sideways punch? I'm just beginning to learn this Kata.

[@Froge4291]

Both interpretation are correct

Thank you, my son will just this to practice.

[@nereidapc2435]

Thank you, sensei! very useful and well explained :)

[@anthonyradford8605]

I’m a 2nd degree black belt in TKD. After moving states I was forced to begin Karate due to a lack of TKD schools. Because of my experience, martial arts is such a part of my life that my instructor has allowed me into his advanced classes while only being an orange belt. Because of that, and because of the International Training Camp I went too, I’ve ended up doing this Kata more than my own Kata (Sandan). This is also the case with Tekkishodan, which I’ve helped myself learn here.

[@TheScaryGermanGuy]

So is there a small step before the jump (2:58) or not? No book mentions a step, but everyone does it.

[@saptarshimandal611]

Sensei, love from India 🇮🇳❤. Is your Style Kyokushin or something? 🤔
