[@SuperParsman]

Tremendous performance ,I am not sure if it was performed in a ceremonial manner as timing and speed of execution of some techniques was different to what I was taught ,but at the level that master Shirai is they all have their own feel and interpretation of the forms (katas)

Alguém sabe qual a música desse vídeo?

[@razz0rric106]

Not as quick or as crisp as I thought he would be in the initial turn.

[@kennethgbarayor2375]

Can you do it

[@razz0rric106]

@@kennethgbarayor2375 Hangetsu (Hungetsu) was my favourite kata. That and Jitte Sochin and tekki Sandan. Loved the quick crisp snap of the kicks. Tbh Kata was my best discipline. I'm 51 now started training under Steve Cattle when I was 16. So in answer to your question yes I can do it. Oh and I actually trained with Shirai and Kase and mang more. Great men true karateka pioneers. Maybe not as quick or crisp now 😂
