This is the Shito Ryu version, yes? It's fascinating to see how it differs from the Shotokan version.

[@davids.6465]

Yes it is! This kata is beautiful!

[@chriscooper4317]

Yes, also different from Shuri-Ryu's version- much more snappy and less graceful and flexible.

[@Qwertyrfvgy]

I was thinking the same. I'm probably bias because I do Shotokan and this is my favourite kata but I don't think this one looks as good. He performed so good though.

[@darkangelus1987]

so different from wado ryu too!

[@sweekarnd6695]

Yes our shotokan version is quite different from this I was wondering tq

[@gregcurtis-flynn790]

This is Shitoryu Bassai Dai. This guy was world champion, he didn't get there by performing kata incorrectly.This Kata varies according to style, but it was the same as this in both Renbukan and Shukokai which are Shitoryu styles, I have studied both. I see a lot of power and style in this performance.

[@johndont6874]

Greg Curtis-Flynn were do you live bro

[@gregcurtis-flynn790]

Brisbane Australia

[@Lucas-bv1ps]

I did not know you could see power

[@user-fm4es4gc7e]

Quite so, but, unfortunately doesn't help too much if one studies shotokan.

[@Octopussyist]

A rare sight. Finally someone who makes the moves in such a way that one would suppose that he thought closer of what they are for. That is actually what Kata should be for - but you rarely see it in tournaments.

[@Kazamajin32]

The movements are so graceful... one does Kata because its beautiful to do it

[@anushabenny8586]

bro, he's so fast i can't even see him move!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@andreschubert8628]

What a beauty and executed KATA. makes my eyes shine, damm.

[@TheBorsMistral]

Much respect. Awesome speed and sharpness. Not my style so I shouldn't judge, but except for the yama zuki everything looked top-notch.

[@giokennedy]

Great performance. The speed alone was amazing. Well done

[@marielmares3055]

Everyone has a different style have respect for each one and stop talking shit

[@buzzardneckseahag]

This is just one of the many versions of Bassai that I’ve learned. I would love to have his kimi.

[@laeneel]

Enjoyed watching this.....

[@johndejac73]

very nice. crisp movement.

[@samedde1]

excellent performance

[@roninstrength1883]

Incredible

[@aliy8D]

incredible!

[@epramberg]

The thing that I liked best about his kata is that his body was static when it needed to be.

[@JoseReyes-hv1uv]

he is awesome keep it up

[@Fernando-gf8uc]

its the best bassi ive seen , ours is not as punchy , awesome , nice karate

[@abhirupguha4266]

[@mea6333]

[@amaruwanjayasinghe7098]

[@xylsvos]

I loved his version, it does come from Shito-Ryu, but it is awesome Thank you Antonio Diaz (silent bow)

[@XxKiraxX2009]

***** not meant to be an ass just letting you know. Shitō-ryū* en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shit%C5%8D-ry%C5%AB

[@fernandososa6507]

Orgullo venezolano!!!

[@007DavidCraig]

slightly different style / discipline from what I have learned ,, but well executed ,, good posture , power etc ,, on the downside ,, you have just made me look crap , thanks for that young man , :-) , but I will just keep practicing until my heart stops beating or unable to move , Karate is from the cradle to the grave :-)

[@erenduran635]

awsome

Excelent- oss sensei..

[@Dahedras]

Did it, Bassai Dai on green belt and got 1st place in my local tournament. Is maybe for blue or brown belt but dont forget is your sensei who decides if u re ready to get that knowledge.

[@depreto0102]

provavelmente é alguma variação do Bassai dai do estilo shotokan! algumas tecnicas de mãos são aplicadas com as bases diferentes!

[@karatequixada1]

muito bacana

[@gonzerd2882]

orgullo venezolano!!

[@Eljedi1975]

Campeon mundial .... de Venezuela... 4 lugar a sus 42 años en las olimpíadas de japon 2022.gran karateca

[@zachkarate1]

@KARATEbyJesse thanks :)

[@edergarcia7085]

Very Nice 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@RonaldBrowne1]

Esta bestial ese Bassai dai Antonio full rapido me gusto. Ronny

[@Arivm91]

yo que practico el estilo shito ryu te puedo decir que el nekodashi puede ser un movimiento de defensa al igual que de ataque, un kata puede tener distintos bunkais (claro siempre esta el general)...en este kata lo que puedo ver es que la parte que lleva varios nekodashi seguidos, es movimiento de defensa por la posicion en que coloca los brazos, es lo que yo veo no se si se le de otra explicacion

[@iCharceus]

@KARATEbyJesse Nice!! Jag går oxå i shito-ryu! ska snart få gul-första gröna streck.. (tyvärr gjorde jag en termins uppehåll men du är jag på g igen och hoppas på att komma långt) Han va riktigt duktig!! Funderar på om jag sett någon video från dig innan.. Dina videor är i bra kvalité :) subcribar för att inte missa nåt :)

[@diksamen]

Its not SHOTOKAN. But awsome.

[@blancanellypatino4074]

Yea shotokan sucks

[@nilanjanakarmakar4429]

Nice .

[@whiskeyhangover1438]

It must be epic coming up with some dance moves , saying they are hundreds of years old, and contain hidden applications. Then having paying students where you go around moving their elbows or hands an inch and then having tournaments to judge who did the dance the best.

[@arijitmukherjee5846]

Please make some videos in which you are fighting a practical duel using traditional karate techniques

[@sammysr.3190]

Tang Soo Do version is a little different. But definitely nice performance.🙏

[@defbeatkilla8513]

this is not the shotokan karate.. this is more like slaping flys.. however.. respect for the speed !

[@pekeomar]

+Defbeat Killa This isn't shotokan, this is shitoryu. That's why the kata is different. :)

[@JR-ch8rt]

Let's pray for those who dislike this amazing performance. They must be in a very dark moment in life. Let us pray for those poor, all hating, maga hat wearing individuals..... 😔

[@loopyloomlove4347]

Cool

[@neokaazu]

キレがいいな

[@UKR0B]

I learnt it at blue, its learnt at different grades in different styles

[@xxbabybubbaxx]

@eamonob84 i see now. thank you for clearing that up!

[@antoniliev100]

this kata is difficult i test it every day!

[@fabianfredrick6720]

hurmmm...maybe its different ....but still awesome ...

[@InouehaSwedenKarate]

2011EllieB It is Shito-Ryu, and he is not a orange belt, he is a black belt... Actually he is the WKF world champion since 2010... Hehe so please, don't worry ;)

[@aldenwong3613]

I’m not sure about the second last move in basadai shito ryu but aren’t both your hands supposed to face down or one up one down? Very amazing kata I strive to be like that. Amazing sharpness and timing

[@lunternaut]

Oh you mean shuto uke and neko ashi dashi, of course he did it, look at 0:47 and at 1:00 because it's BASSAI DAI. If you take a look at the official shito kai video of bassai dai, in the description you will see the name of the kata, that's bassai dai.

[@c.weltscheff5970]

Just because you have an opinion, it doesn't mean that you have to have to be rude and call people names

[@CSARAMONE]

Shito Ryu, por cierto, el es el actual Campeon Mundial en la Modalidad de Kata

[@aaronknutson4489]

I love the form. What is the intention of the GI slapping?

[@FabianLubker]

to let you know by the sound your technique was correctly executed in each movement... Hope this help!

[@leangelou]

I thought It was a very well performed kata! Each style of karate has slightly different variations in their katas. This is different to the one I know but the pattern is very similar. Regardless Antonio was awesome! Explosive and controlled I would like to learn that version. People who rubbish other peoples disciplines are missing the whole point of martial arts and will always be lacking the spiritual side to Art.

[@ippolitkavarzin1774]

Хорошо...

[@ST-ph5yq]

Good dancing

[@elpiston2011]

exshitoryu alumno de leopordo duran sensei y shijan sato, extraordinario ese kata, nekoasi dashi perfecto,

[@brolyui4484]

Wow his punches make so much sound how come is it his clothes or speed

[@baolu2940]

Both

[@ImpactMMAFitness]

I don't listen to what critics say. I don't know anybody that needs a critic to know what art is.

[@Dahedras]

Yeah, sure. Thank you for replay^^ Oss.

[@chrmag7557]

Wooow likE likE likE

[@fabri9696]

lindo

[@daniel92139]

@LaDamaDelFuoco its similar to shushokan!

[@adrian9629]

its true

[@gojuryukarateka]

@kaiftw you're right, in a street fight it makes no difference. but when performing bassai dai it does. i've been training for 45 years and lived for 32 in Japan. Trust me, you MUST move and land heel first when performing bassai dai. this is fundamental with shito ryu and goju ryu, but not shotokan. as bassai dai is shito ryu's "shite# kata it must be done the shito ryu way, which is heel first.

[@DanielArturoC]

AMAZING..!! I'M A MIX MARTIAL ARTIST... KARATE BLACK BELT.. N' URE AMAZING DUDE...!! CONGRATS..!!!

[@zachkarate1]

what tournament is this jesse?

[@mopancar]

Nowdays is a little bit different, I'm 1st Dan Black Belt and before the order of belts was Yellow, Orange, Green, Blue, Brown, Black, today there is a lot more belts with different stripes but after Red comes Green than Blue, than Purple, Brown, Brown-Black and than black

[@GothicNight21]

I have to learn Bassai Dai for the Blue Belt , in one month xD... Man ! I have to learn it Oss

[@henryjesusleal869]

one month is not enough. In order to learn it you must practice at least 30 times every day during three months at least. Set apart difficult movements which you need to practice in isolation.

[@harrisonbrown3557]

i am sure you will do great. just have fun preforming the Bassai Dai!

[@wexvex17]

Dang I heard the wind from his hands

[@2011EllieB]

i'm currently learning bassai dai and i'm a brown belt, this style isn't shotokan is it? because i'm getting confused as he is only an orange belt (9th kyu) and learning that kata? what style is this?

[@ethantorrance9428]

Wow wow wow we're all karateka no matter what style weather it's shotokan shito ryu Okinawan kobodo and so on it doesn't matter we all pretty much do the same move just in a different way

[@henryjesusleal869]

It´s not the way what matters, but the spirit you show while you are doing kata.

[@pepega8319]

Its soo different from Shotokai.

[@tanphan1848]

looks like a shito-ryu version of bassai dai.

[@Senshishuri]

@KARATEbyJesse Is really only for kata?

[@lucaspenny4531]

This is so much different in go kan ru karate

[@Josh-dr9db]

Go kan ryu kata looks like someone trained Goju for a while, shotokan for a while, learned the kata, forgot half of it, so then made it into a new system

[@maansarts1464]

sir which is your style

[@Bunkaico]

De qué estilo es este Bassai Dai ? No hay nada como la versión Shotokan

[@LaDamaDelFuoco]

What style of Karate is This? Non Shtokan, for sure. But is a good style, i like it.

[@mexis0x]

really fast

[@CSARAMONE]

2 times World Champion, Champion of the World Games, Pan American Champion 11 times.

[@jiorgexxx]

¿Porque el primer bloqueo no lo hace al momento de llegar a la posición? ¿es así el kata o un error de la ejecucción de la técnica? ayuda?

[@ogarza3]

jiorgexxx en shito ryu lo haces en el movimiento hacía adelante

[@jiorgexxx]

vale, gracias.

[@henryjesusleal869]

el osae uke, en este caso, se debe ejecutar terminando la técnica exactamente al mismo tiempo que llega el pie izquierdo. Igualmente el oitzuki, perfectamente coordinado con el pie.

[@jiorgexxx]

Gracias, esto era lo que pensaba, pero tenia la duda si por variación de estilo podría cambiar la ejecución.

[@pampermanneke]

Shotokan!

[@hotjt28]

@2011EllieB it's shito ryu. He is not an orange belt. It is the WKF. They use red and blue belts. What you are seeing is his WKF red belt. Look up other WKF videos and you will find the same thing.

[@eamonob84]

@xxbabybubbaxx that was not a terrible kata. it was also not the shotokan version of bassai dai. the way he performs some of the techniques is simply because he's doing a shitei kata (a list of katas the WKF has categorized for competition). if he wants to win, he has to perform the kata the way the judges want to see it done in a tournament. there are more karate styles out there than shotokan.

[@umafamiliaportuguesacomcer9195]

In Shotokan is a little different..

[@WillyRiveroOP]

Maybe you think only fast....no kime, but he's the kata world champion!

[@fahmy2754]

Already 10 yrs ago

I was wondering the same while watching. This is not the Bassai Dai I know, maybe it's a diferent form from other karate style or something.

[@tigga1723]

I like the kata and his movements are crisp... As for all of the bashing.... In my opinion is very disrespectful to all martial artists whether you have been studying for years or days.... Movements may be taught differently from dojo to dojo, style and lineage, not to mention the Sensei's interpretation of the kata. There is no wrong move in martial arts, just not the way a certain style may perform the technique. As for the sandan and mandated time frame.... The experience you gain from being

[@cottreau]

Bassai dai doesn't mean "battering ram" - the "dai" just means "big" as opposed to "sho", which means "small", so there is a "bassai sho" sitting around in some kata curriculums. The typical translation, "To Storm a Fortress" seems in-line with "battering ram", but honestly, I don't know how we get that out of the kanji, batsu (抜) - "to extract or remove"; sai (塞) - "close, shut, or cover".

[@yorkokinawankarate]

Travis Cottreau To extract or remove from a closed, covered, or protected place. A fortress is a protected place. Makes sense to me.
