Kanku Sho - Shotokan Karate

[@batman2909]

Starting training for my second dan today. This is my choice for kata. I'll be visiting this video dozens of times over the next several months!

[@pako24]

In assoluto il migliore, lui è l'incarnazione dello stile SHOTOKAN. Io da karateka lo stimo infinitamente

[@Sumotori.]

RIP Sensei KANAZAWA! Excellent kata execution! Watch also the Late great Sensei Taiji Kase, and late Sensei Enoeda!

Kanku Sho - Shotokan Karate

[@Desirion83]

This was my favourite kata when I used to practice and still is!

[@cj1000]

Me too!

[@felixlee9645]

good for you, guys

[@felixlee9645]

What about kanku dai

[@KenpoKid77]

It's definitely for that, yes, but there are also combat applications (bunkai) in kata. The problem is so many who train in karate never learn past the block-and-counter approach that is prevalent in modern karate, especially Japanese. Don't get me wrong, I ltrain and ove Japanese karate, but I also glean from Okinawan stylists who study and explore bunkai using grappling, joint manipulation, throws, takedowns, etc., as well. We should strive to dissect and analyze kata so we understand them.

[@garthewar]

Oss. Shotokan 2nd kyu. Totally agree

[@WhiteWolfProject]

This bunkai is modern reconstruction, no more. l can explain all movies in kata as a football technics - but its no be right way.

[@mountainwolf1]

Indeed, it is also important to understand that karate does not need to block. This is because the so-called blocks actually strike or grab to the attacking limb.

I just tested for my Black Belt this weekend and I can't wait to learn this kata

[@edgar22452]

Nice!

[@Sherlo4]

thumbs up if you train karate

[@heart220]

I learnt this kata when I was 6th Kyu. I was always curious about learning new katas and that's why my Sensei used to teach me everything before hand😊 I recommend you to learn Karate because of self defense and all the new and happy memories you'll make while learning it🤗

[@josegeraldojesuspimentel9826]

Oi boa noite valeu 🤝👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@Urmomkizzer]

Definitely one of my favorite katas i have learned so far

[@1ksubswithonevideochallenge745]

I prefer Shorin-Ryu

[@gaiadove]

I love this kata... I never really liked the fighting part of karate... but I loved doing kata... Maybe I should go back to it... sigh...

[@Gorongirl]

You can do it karate-ka!

[@bigsidable]

I havnt done this Kata in 20 years.due to my bad knee. Been in the back of my head for sometime. Kangkudai is my 1st Dan Kata. Have a tough time with it due to my hip. It’s a bitch getting old. These injuries have made tight as a drum. But doing lots more stretching and did get knee replaced in 2020. Been a slow comeback. But coming back I am.

[@yasseen1690]

Man !! I am an old warrior as you, a nidan from 99!!!! Today i had my first black belt training since then i cannot describe how good it was. I performed Gankaku Empi and Kanku Sho they all are still anchored in my memory somehow. Of course technique needs dusting but it’ll come! Keep it up!

[@bigsidable]

@yasseen1690 AWESOME. AWESOME AWESOME. CONGRATS. YEAH 2024. Gabkaku for me. Thought Kangku Dai kicks my butt. Gankaku will do the same the last one leg spin a real mother. Took a long time to nail it. Like the last side snap kick in Kangku Dai. Go for man.

[@abouikram8215]

[@JRBouncerz2010]

This Kata is fantastic very beutiful and elegent i am 12 and have a purple/white belt (two belts from black :D) i know this kata off by heart and have preformed it in front of a class full of black belts who didnt know it everybody who says that if you are young you are not ready to have a black belt are wrong. i understand what it is to have disaplin and respect i find it really offending when people say that people who are young are not ready for a black belt

[@dibakarmondal2222]

Great kata🥇🥈🥉🥋

[@elestrenturner3380]

Excited to do this now that I'm black belt!

[@elestrenturner3380]

Watching the dude do the jump amazes me. Was training earlier and landed on the side of my leg and nearly broke my hip. Still choosing it for my 2nd Dan grading of course.

[@Joao-te1ri]

why Kanazawa does the second Kiai in the jump of shuto uke and not in the last oi tsuki ?

[@leannewalsh4896]

Heian Yondan is also like that... and it has side kicks too...

[@rickmcgibbon6290]

Kata Kanku Sho Kanku Sho which means seeing the sky, consists of 48 movements One of the most beautiful times the Showtos is a famous time for black - backed apparatus that includes many beautiful and interesting techniques with two campings at this time and effective showing in changing body movement this time requires a high level of skill pay attention to the bodies of players who move gently and quickly along the cat Some of the movements and techniques that are used at this time kaiten-tobi - spinning jump m

[@A2006DY]

I knew ,kanku sho it's called the "hello of the sun",, Jitte means "10 hands".Anyway in Sensei H.Kanazawa+ book from 80's i discovered very explicit 12 kata's but in those years was forbiden to do this sport in my country.

[@andrewstepanik5727]

he did not return to center and i think it is because of how he did the sidekicks. shouldnt you bring your left foot to your right foot after you do the side kick to the left and are going to side kick to the right? then again what do i know?

[@yeehawingg]

i cant wait to get my shodan in january as this is the first kata we learn!! so excited its such a fantastic kata

[@magelacosta5163]

karate é tudo para mim

[@TurnersKarate]

This is vastly different than how I was taught. Where he goes straight back and forward for the punch, grab, lock, backfist, I was taught those go at angles. The Side kick elbow I was taught go forward and back. And before the jump 320 was several different stances, including a energy building chi style move before a double palm strike. Those are just a few of the differences... But I do study an American Karate style rather than an old style shotokan karate, still odd how different they are

[@bobbicals]

You don't use traditional names for techniques in American Karate?

[@TurnersKarate]

bobbicals - As it is American Karate in 2014+, we don't use the traditional Japanese, Korean, or Chinese terminology because it doesn't make sense to use a language most American's don't know. Easy to understand for the majority is kind of what we go for. - When I was training 20-30 years ago we did. However, it is my belief that things evolve to the easiest understandable option available to be as effective as possible.

[@TurnersKarate]

Liam Foley Not trying to simplify the form just the terminology used to describe it. Keeping in mind that in the earlier days of martial arts in America it was mainly older men doing it, not mainly little kids, what you say coordinates (to a degree) with that. However, trying to teach a younger kid both a foreign language, it's meaning, and throw the form into that makes teaching less effective, and we shouldn't follow that path imo. --- If you're unaware, this form is Chinese in origin. And the terminology was also changed by Gichin Funakoshi to translate easier to the Japanese students he had around the 1930s.

[@wewwew8505]

+TurnersKarate different clubs... different instructors... different teachings... but same style.... I wasnt taught like the way in the video... I watch this if I forget some parts and adapt it to the way I was taught

[@vinvass2674]

That is because you were being taught wrong. Your so called Instructor doesn't even know the proper Japanese name. THIS is a real Japanese Karate Master doing the kata perfectly. You should change your name to TurdBurglars Karate.

[@nakotohs97]

I'm doing this in a team at a comp today, just thought I'd do a bit more revision lol

[@mattlikesdrumming]

normally yes, but at least in Konku Dai, all sidekicks with the exception of the first one are performed in place, without bringing the standing leg in. Not sure if it's the same deal for this Kata because i forgot it -____- lol

[@guzmanduztin3671]

Im yellow belt and i know this kata and the 5 heian, im really proud of my progress.

[@LouLou69420]

Im brown belt and i consider you froget kanku sho because you will kind of froget the other heians which are more important

[@gymleaderabyss494]

Im purple belt and i know the 5 heians, tekki shodan, bassai dai, jion and enpi

[@Ryeolu]

The important thing is not to know the kata, but to perform it well. I know all the kata from taikyoku to heian and the first of the bassa and tekki series respectively. I know a couple 7 star mantis forms and one southern mantis form. I personally use only taikyoku shodan and the southern mantis form to train. All the others are good to know and remember, but I guarantee you that I have gotten better at all my other kata just by practicing only those two. I only need those two to fight anyway. So that's 10 shotokan kata, 3 7 star mantis forms and 1 southern mantis form, and I only choose 2 of the 14. I suggest you all think about this.
