Re-Posting Osaka Demo 1987

For some reason, the earlier posting of Osaka Demo 1987 didn't work. Here's another posting.

Apology for a number of unavailable videos and a very nice video

I've learned that a number of videos on my blog are no longer available. Some of them were linked to my facebook page but for some reason are not opening up. Also, one of the Youtube contributor to the video has deleted the content. But I did find one very nice video that includes very interesting footages of Nakamura Sensei and Kendokai Karate. Enjoy!

The opening caption reads, "Different styles of karate are not important. Karate is karate." This quote of Nakamura Sensei sums up his philosophy.

"Transfer-Training", "Movement Training", "Ido-Gekko"

It goes without saying that kihon practice is vital to improving one's karate. Without kihon, you have no karate. Kihon can be practiced while standing on the same spot, or by moving up and down the dojo floor. Sensei Lee Young of Kasugai dojo has been posting a lot of videos of Kendokai karate training routine, and recently he posted many "ido-gekko" or "transfer-training." These are great for learning to move one's core and executing techniques with the proper timing.
