Tokyo Karate1Premier League 2019 Gold Medals Kata Female

[@IvanDonchev81]

They are both wonderful! In first Kata Chatanyara Kushanku they are so great in a different ways -Sandra is precise and powerful like a lioness, Kiyou is fast, fluid and somehow fragile, which is amazing. In second round Kiyou is just perfect, but honestly Sandra here gives it all, you can feel how Karate's essence of "one fist one kill" / "ikken hissatsu" comes to truth in her kata. Oss!

[@glenmorangieff]

I know nothing about Karate, yet looking at the performance of these two I nearly cried! So perfect, so good!

[@Makkusuto]

Exactly the same here. This performance got me. Wow…

[@nomermancera9229]

Good martial art and they have emotional Kata and breathing always movement.

[@privaternutzer7595]

I am karate instructor and always getting so much inspiration to keep on working on my own katas from women like this.

[@jamesdspaderf2883]

NOBODY can separate these two superlative athletes, martial artists merely based on their technical performances. It comes down to personal favorites! I am in awe of Sensei Sanchez but I'm in LOVE with Sensei Shimizu! So, there!

[@temirtaragay8932]

hahahah

[@Priestbokmei1]

I didn’t see their prior kata performances, but based on the tie breaker...Ms. Sanchez blew Ms. Shimizu off the mat! One of the most difficult kata ever is Suparinpei and Ms. Sanchez nailed every single technique with power and snap! Damn! What a performance! Hands down she is the winner!

[@tinotrivino]

Well the most difficult I think its Chatan Yara Kusanku. But you were right about Sandra. I also think she should win.

[@JD-ww2ri]

Sandra is great,but power is not everything in kata.Compare both athletes with Rika Usami's executions and will understand

Brilliant! I don't envy the Judges. Two excellent Karatekas! At the end it's heartening to see how they have the utmost respect for each other despite the obvious rivalry.

[@karate.academy1]

👍👍👍

[@hwatabe]

Sandra's kata is full of emotion like anger which causes stiff shoulder and hard movement causing loss of power. On the other hand, Kiyou is basically calm in her spirit and gets powerful on the point of attack. I think it is the point and you can understand looking at their faces. Strong attack comes from loosen muscle.

[@Martitalanita]

I think you are biased, Sandra it's not stiff but precise and powerful, we always want the country of origin being best but that's not the case gor this one. Only looking at the performances you can tell the difference even knowing nothing about kata, but the judges that are the experts here took a decision so i don't rely on random coments on ytb

Son exactamente iguales, con el mismo nivel, cuando se alcanza la perfección no queda otro remedio que hacer como en la gimnasia deportiva, es decir, poner un 10 de entrada e ir restando milésimas por cada error. Luego está las preferencias de cada espectador en cuanto a si te gusta más el producto nacional o el exotismo que le presuponemos a todo lo extranjero. Los katas eran diferentes de modo que sencillamente ganó el kata más popular aunque sea injusto, deberían haber ejecutado cada una el kata que hizo la otra aunque seguramente habría vuelto a haber empate. Buen video.

The Goddess of Kata is Rika Usami. You can see how all these Karateka they don't have the true essence of Karate in them. They are filled with desire of just wanting to win. The value isnt in them. The Zen and The aura isn't there. So different from Rika Usami. Its not just about the movements or knowledge. It's just like Michael Jackson. Nobody can ever do a better moonwalk or forms than Michael Jackson.

[@edengoldman-wetzler1014]

Yes defineitly

[@falcon048]

It's painfully obvious there was bias for Kiyou Shimizu as evidenced by declaring her winner when they clearly tied. The fix was in. It didn't matter how awesome Sandra was, Kiyou Shimizu was going to win, apparently. Unless I missed something, Sandra's katas are exceptional in that they are quick without being sloppy or wavering. They have power and snap. Just listen to the air whip when she chambers and strikes, it's awesome. Then watch Kiyou, who is quick, but to me lacks power and her strikes and chambers don't snap all the time. I get the calm composure of Kiyou, but one of the purposes of kata is a display of battle. Sandra's expression perfectly matches the expression of one who was truly striking, truly blocking. Sandra believed she was attacking people and thus *I* believed she was attacking people. With Kiyou, it was more like a demonstration to students on how to perform the kata. Calm, collected, breathing. But, unless someone can point out exactly what it is that Kiyou did that was so amazing that it toppled Sandra, I am going to have to say it was rigged.

[@Senee628]

This. It was rigged. The Japanese crowd wanted to see a Japanese world champ, and since it is a show, the people's needs must be served. The emperor very rarely shown thumbs down when the whole crowd cheered for thumbs up and vica versa.
