This Seishan is acceptable. Why not?

I will practice this and perform it in front of my Sensei next time I see him...pretty cool!!!

Makes me very happy Ohtsuka sensei severed the Funakoshi connection in good time.

I think this is a losing battle.
We really need to seriously consider just killing kata competition now....
On a positive note, Antonio Diaz won the Gold medal in the WKF kata division and he trains with Inoue Sensei of Shitoryu unlike Luca Valdesi who feel the Japanese have nothing of value to offer when it comes to kata.

I really don't know what your problem is Bob... this is clearly cutting edge. ;)

You really need to get down with the kids.
