Doug practising Unsu at Karate Shiro Kan, Newcastle upon Tyne. He is a very successful SKIGB kata contestant and I would like to think that I've helped polish his performance.

  • very nice

    but several moments are supposed to be a bit slower, just like in empi, the forward shifting before the jump at the end. Just have a sensei check it out for a final opinion, but overall very good.

    • Thanks for your interest

      I agree that Doug has a tenedency to perform his kata a lttle too fast at times, something I had to keep pullng back. He has been SKIGB National Kata Champion seberal times (as have other students of mine in the past). Just one more point: there shouldn't be a shift forward in preparation for the jump, it should be carried out directly from kokutsu dachi. I was SKIGB Chief Kata Judge for over 20 years. Osu!
