Enpi - Commentary

The kata Enpi is usually studied at the brown belt level and has a couple of variations depending on the particular Shotokan school. This video shows the SKIF version of the kata with a step-by-step explanation of the different moves.

[@TheOCTOJA]

The more I watch his coaching the more I appreciate him. He explains katas very well. With him it's not only learning some moves, but understanding each of them. Thank you.

[@jorrisaddy6769]

Very true...... I learned a lot of my katas from him here before getting them polished up at the dojo

[@jerrymcsharry7232]

This man is a brilliant teacher

[@barbmorgan5401]

[@mr.maskmaker6609]

great video I learn this Kata in one hour watching this non stop

[@trinityxavier5790]

best advice, hit the dojo as well. take it from someone who is in the classes

[@mr.maskmaker6609]

Trinity Xavier ah dont worry about it now i quit this shit almost a year ago now i'm now doing wing chun

[@trinityxavier5790]

well I wish you the best of luck my friend :)

[@mr.maskmaker6609]

Trinity Xavier it was bullshit they said i can only train 2 hours a week it takes 10 years to become a black belt I had learned everything I needed to do all the grades up to black belt in a month and he said i cant grade any fast than anyone else even tho i put in 100 times the effort so i though fuck it

[@trinityxavier5790]

my sensei told me it takes one million tries to get the first kata nailed and it took a few weeks

[@anastazjamaria8345]

It's the best Sensei on the world! Great estimation! OSS

[@gatooncracko527]

ya he and my sensei

[@RuhabDabeer]

[@rahiim7777]

Thanks you oppa

[@schtoatur]

thankyou sensei

[@arifjalal1934]

Very nice sir

[@asura6599]

Just learnt it

[@danskarate997]

good videos to learn kata but the first move is a wrist twist and then applying a armbar with your hands ;)

[@ryanjandu4968]

Daniel Griffith bunkai for this move may vary. I’ve even heard that it dodges an attackers kick and the right hand strikes the base leg. I think that one is bad ass haha

[@cameron.naidoo]

excellent video ... just one point - most schools use fudo dachi/sochin dachi on the grab just before the jump and spin :) maybe it's a kiba dachi with SKIF?

[@richarddebeer2247]

My go to video, OSU

[@guettaisaac2224]

[@annalisacampo7974]

💝💝💝💝

[@youcefcrz197]

Good

[@wcacique39]

how you doing sensei i have a question, what are the katas by belt rank to reach blackbelt in shotokan.

[@MegaMoh]

1.heian shodan 2.heian nidan 3.heian sandan 4.heian yondan 5.heian godan 6.tekkie shodan 7.bassai dai And after bassai dai there is no order for the katas but some katas can never come before others. For example, kanku dai must be took in the duration after bassai dai, the difference might be a difference of 3-4 katas depending on your school, but it cant come after unsu.

[@yangchensun5546]

+MegaMoh After (6) Tekki Shodan, I went on to learn the other two Tekki (Nidan and Sandan) before learning (7) Bassai Dai. After that, I learned Kankudai, and then Enpi. Am I learning it the wrong sequence because I find Enpi easier than Bassai Dai, not that the latter was difficult either.

[@Aymanthelefty]

@@yangchensun5546 bassai dai is hell.......

[@LyricVerseBangers]

King Of Pop fax

[@TheOCTOJA]

At 4:01 shouldn't his left leg move rather than his right?

[@Cyclonus5]

I can agree with everything else but using a downward block from a kneel like that is much less practical than the grappling arm break the movement conceals. I do like the gedan uki use of short power though.

[@TudyGamingPresents]

now, i can win at kata

[@trinityxavier5790]

kata isn't a form of karate. it determines the belt. if I were you, go to the classes DON'T just learn from youtube videos.

[@gatooncracko527]

+Trinity Xavier it is a form of karate, what is it a form of then? youtube videos of katas also help some people. i mean without the video of hangetsu kata i couldnt have gotten the black belt. :)

[@gatooncracko527]

+Pete Tinsley but the type of belt you have in karate shows people how good you are in karate and kata and also fighting.

[@yangchensun5546]

+ Trinity Xavier Fair to say that Karate is not merely about KATA and there are more to it, but KATA is part of Karate?
