Shotokan Karate Nunchaku Kata at 2000 Capitol Classics

May be a big D-bag but kids got mad skills

Haha... that's not shotokan. He did some capoeira moves mixed with that nunchaku stuff and olympics!

Impressive demonstration though!!!

EE-YAYYYYYURRRRRRRRRR!!!

bwahahahaa what a crap!

Nice

i dont think thats shotokan i do shotokan karate and im currently a 2nd degree purple belt and we dont do that so r u sure thts shotokan but that kkid is awsome

thats not shotokan plain and simple... shotokan meaning the teachings of funakoshi gichin

hey linoff i hope you know you just put down one of the greatest martial artist at the time right now. Matt is the best at nunchuks that i have seen, yo u show me a video of anyone better at the wepaon right now ro even at the time when he was younger an ill apologize.

i do shotokan and i've never seen this before.....probably because i'm a green belt and we aren't allowe start weapons for a while....but i dunno, are you sure this is shotokan????

Awesome!

ugh bleh, losers. It IS shotokan you dopes, all of that was derived from it and he just added in wat he learned on his own time. If you only copy movements, you are bound to die, but to create and go beyond is the key to success.

Very co-ordinated individual with impressive flashy moves. Nice dancing.

simply amazing

uh terrible sport karate thats not shotokan....

wow-ism

Karate was originally succeeded with weapons. But Shotokan was made by Funakoshi in Japan mainland. Funakoshi could not tell jujutsu and weapons and that's why there are no weapons in Shotokan now. Kumite was not also told exactly and that's why Nakayama made non-contact system. I watch many Shotokan Karate clips abroad, but almost all the clips look like fake. Shotokan in Japan practices Kata mainly and non-contact Kumite. So that is nonsense to talk about weapons or jujutsu. OK?

Shotokan is direct and mostly linear there are few aerial kicks.

i havent been introduced shotkan in depth, but i too agree, i only recognized a few basic postures and a few movements associated with shotokan.

I have to agree with Andyman. I practice Shotokan, and this is about as far from traditional Shotokan as you get. The man's fast and athletic for sure, but this is not a traditional style.

This is not the shotokan nunchaku kata. I know the real one. And, serious karate systems don't use two nunchakus. This is one of those systems where the only point of the katas is to look cool and show off. They throw in so many un-necessary moves that serve no purpose.

OMG, he's just playing around. No kime at all. That's definitely NOT shotokan karate

yea we all know its mislabeled but its still cool whatever u call it.

Not bad. But this isn't Shotokan Karate...It doesn't use weapons, I do it so I should know.

look that wasn't even karate, it was gymnastics.

many people think that karate is without weapons, but this is wrong. at the very beginning karate didnt even mean "empty hand" it meant martial art from china. today karate is often teached without weapons but 20 years ago it was a usual fact.

but that person in the movie is doing some acrobatic / karate mixed show stuff, this is not real shotokan.

this aint shotokan karate. they dont have moves like that, and they dont do weapons! this is XMA
