Masao Kagawa Shihan Bassai Dai

[@mcronrn]

Thank you for posting such a long clip of the instruction of Shihan Kagawa. Many more karateka around the world will benefit from this video than were present in the room. You truly provide a service to the Shotokan community by capturing and sharing the experience. Oss!!

M Cron - I echo your remarks. These days Kagawa Sensei is an extremely good teacher for western karate students that enjoy their karate as a serious hobby. Some of his pointers are little gems and he's constantly providing little gems that can really help improve us 'average Joe's' out there.

[@ShotokanKaratePage]

We just love Kagawa teachings. probably the best

[@nelsonfontana4997]

Oss muito bom

[@MrHitotsumusha]

Within the shotokan community there are variations of this kata all are amazing to watch. I train in JKA and Kagawa Sensei reminds me of my current sensei. I really like my current Sensei and the way he teaches is so similar. This one is the same as what I'm currently learning . No difference, great for my exam coming up to review! Thank you for posting this! Ossu!

[@embosska]

I like his body form. True knowledge, real master

[@flaviopereira8393]

Sensei Osssssss!!!. Treino de Kihon muito bom . Muito obrigado. Tecnica perfeita. Viva o Kihon.

[@luisenriquegomeztrujillo]

Excelente Kata, Shihan Masao Kagawa aplica una técnica de enseñanza magistral. Seguirla tal cuál hará que el ejecutante de Bassai Dai sea excepcional. Gracias por este video. ¡Admirable!

[@HarpiaJohn]

Aula maravilhosa do Shiran Kagawa. Desde o Brasil. Ossu!

[@abrahamadam8357]

Hello...thank you so much for your help and advice

[@edotshioni5180]

This is exactly what we are learning in our dojo with sensei. Mabwaka MANDOLI at drc kinshasa

[@buddy9200]

All to often the study of kata is criticized by those whom are "Arm Chair fighter's" "Spectators" these so called know it all critics have no clue as to the importance of Shadow boxing push ups and sit ups jumping jacks, rope skiping, weight lifting, ect. All are necessary exercises for stamina and strenght training. These kata tectniques are training excersises to condition the body to move sharply and swiftly in a multitued of directions while maintaing balance and maximizing power and effectiveness. Even the weakess of black belts is better prepared for battle than when he/she fist began traing. Great video. Oss.

[@gavriealmagdalena9468]

Geez people I was going to remain quite but in the face of such absurdity I must speak! In regards to Kagawa Sensei with whom I have had to pleasure to study and practice with and who is truly worthy to be called Shihan!... FIrst of all, lions do not concern themselves with the opinions of the sheep, secondly I don't give a hoot how long you been doing what, if you do not understand the basics of proper etiquette and respect then you mind as well shout your mouth. Even if I were to witness Kagawa Sensei/Shihan making a mistake which I seriously doubt then I would have enough decency and respect not to point it out the way some have here. The man has dedicated him self to the art for over 40 years and contributed beyond measure to it's cultivation. Thank you Kagawa Sensei / Shihan OSS

[@longdark4ever]

LOL there is one guy there that is like, is this guy ever gonna stop, I am hurting all over. My sensei was very similar, he would work us until he was tired, never the other way around, he had no time for slackers, I remember leaving my dojo on many nights barely able to walk, with muscle burn everywhere, I loved every minute of it though.

[@marcoteixeira1637]

For me, Bassai dai is the most complete kata of all. My Sensei Aldo Lubes 10°dan, was always demanding with the posture in the execution of this kata. OSS

[@ShotokanKaratePage]

We agree.

[@0scartheCat]

I never trained with him but I like the way he teaches.... reminds me of Ohta......

They are all black belts??

[@ShotokanKaratePage]

most of them are

[@mcronrn]

Gosh, Kenshi, I sympathize with your situation - KZbin must be very difficult for you if your vision is such that you can’t make out colors... :-( If indeed you can distinguish colors, then please allow me to share a fundamental value of Shotokan karate - respect. It is said that karate begins and ends with respect - indeed, ‘Respect Others’ is part of our Dojo Kun. If you have further questions regarding Shotokan karate, perhaps there’s a dojo in your area? Wikipedia says that between 50 and 100 million people practice karate worldwide...

[@SavedSnake]

M Cron ..did you just insult me?

[@mcronrn]

KENSHI TORAOKAMI Ah, it appears that I was unclear... Well, Kenshi, you asked a question that was clearly evident by -watching the video-. It occurs to me now that you may be watching KZbin on a Soviet-era black-and-white TV. That of course would explain your question, since all dark colors might look black. If that is the case, you might mention that in your question, so as not to inadvertently cause offense... But if your vision is ok, and if you are using a device that differentiates colors, then that might suggest that your question was um, rhetorical. That is to say, you weren’t questioning the color of the belts the karateka were wearing - you were questioning the propriety of them wearing the color. If that was the case, if you were indeed calling into question the efforts expended and the recognition received of those whom you do not know, that might be considered disrespectful. Hence my explanation of the role of respect (REI) in Shotokan karate. I hope that explains the rationale behind my above comment. How you receive it is up to you.

[@SavedSnake]

M Cron ...so your somewhat intelligent making deeply explained insults...👏...funny...nicely done...lolz

[@evilasiosimoesbarbosa2554]

[@johannleinser216]

[@uh6537]

Highest ranked in that dojo and then still the most shiny black belt.

Some people buy silk black belts on purpose so that they wear out quickly and make them look like grand masters in no time 🤣

[@phutan155]

Cho hỏi lớp học Karatedo này ở đâu?

[@williamtomlinson994]

I trained in shotokan for 25yrs ,never taught bunkai, and only subsequently learned proper karate through Vince Morris.

[@sassuki]

Vince Morris teaches a lot of good stuff, but he is a very arrogant guy, that is not worthy of the high rank he achieved. True karateka learn humbleness as they progress, not arrogance.

[@naranjeros1612]

Are they all black belts?

Tradition is important for values but it doesn't work in a real fight...

[@sassuki]

Kata is not for a "real fight", but for self-defense. The problem is, most Japanese masters do not show the real Bunkai, which involves pressure points and grappling.

Very well explained. A great instructor. But that girl at the end wearing a footwear in dojo? What kind of disrespectful behavior it is.

[@ShotokanKaratePage]

could be an injury

[@mcronrn]

Kagawa Sensei, arguably the preeminent practitioner of Shotokan karate in world, doesn’t seem to feel disrespected....

[@BelloBudo007]

I think you could be correct. I've noticed many people, with foot or perhaps other problems, opt to carry special 'dedicated' footwear with them in their kit bag [JKA's Sensei Stan Schmidt being an example]. It may look strange at first but if it comes down to giving away karate or wearing footwear, I know which one I would opt for. Also the lady appears to be Japanese, which adds even more weight to the medical reason.

[@ShotokanKaratePage]

[@ShotokanKaratePage]

yes . agreed . doubt he even noticed. lets focus on the details of this lesson. :)

Some of you have to work on your stances but thats not posable uf you dont push your self to stretch. No technique is worth any thing if your srance is weak lol

focus on yourself and let others be

[@selmas8257]

sorry but where is this explanation of all those techniques? he would be great instructor if he would know applications after those techniques he is teaching but it looks like he doesn't know the meaning of those techniques because when you really teach kata applications not just "monkey see monkey do", it's not how kata should be taught

[@ShotokanKaratePage]

that would be another lesson. This was demonstrating the actual kata, not application. Kagawa is Bassai Dai !

[@adammills9715]

Lesski Sam Yeah agreed. I'd like to give them the benefit of the doubt and think that practical application was a prime focus and we just didn't get to see it in this clip by coincidence. But unfortunately that's not usually the case.

[@ShotokanKaratePage]

in other lessons Sensei does run through the application. on this occasion he just ran through the kata technique only. after a 3 hour lesson , plenty to cover on this visit. thanks

[@adammills9715]

Shotokan Karate Page Fantasitic, that's good to know! :)

[@mcronrn]

Bwahahaha Lesski Sam - you are truly hilarious! Martial artists spends thousands and travel hundreds of miles to learn from Sensei Kagawa, who is THE preeminent Shotokan karateka of the 6 million or so who practice the art... but please, continue sharing your insights... you think there is something about Bassai Dai that Kagawa doesn’t know? How hysterical you are!!
