Great to see things like this preserved for everyone to learn.

WOW, what a great find! Some techniques easily recognized, other's I've never seen before!

The details you give, were they from the video cover or in the recording itself, or do you have some additional source?

Thank you for uploading. It's nice to see Kancho's lessons again. I seem to be finally getting closer to a functional understanding after thirty years..! Oss..!

What do we know about Nakama? Who did he study with?

😊thank you 😊very nice 😊

I enjoyed this one very much!

Thanks for sharing this Kata, I'm always interested in learning new Sai Katas

Teach Chen Style Tai Chi in Chicago,have seen Mstr Han snap at least 3 longer poles. This is hard but it teaches how to snap someone's arm by using your Tan Tien.

❤excellent 😊 thank you ❤

Brilliant. Really well explained in terms everyone can understand and also demonstrated very well.

That looks hard

This looks painful 😂

Interesting instructional Calandra Sensei. I have always assumed that videos of Avincula Sensei's execution of Isshin-ryu Sanchin was the 'gold standard'. I find that your interpretation is far less rigorous than his. Your thoughts??

Great video, Gary is a great sport!

😊nice thank you 🙏🏼

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊Hoize Hanahi

🤗👍

awesome vintage video

Sort of crude.

😊thank you very much ❤Nice 🙏🏼

This kata is taught at blue belt level as the light green belt test in my old sensei's dojo, but the real bunkai of it defeats 2nd Dan black belts in full contact sparring.

Good stuff. This kata is very rich and deep in bunkai and fighting skills. This is a pretty hard kata to learn. It's the last one I was working on to get a Black Belt and had to quit karate classes due to personal/family reasons.

The first class I had with one of my teachers twenty years ago in Taiwan was to stretch my spine.

I love your channel everything is very high quality would you make a video on shifting do you keep your weight on the balls of your feet or your heels and when would you do one and when would you do the other interested in your thoughts I'm training in wing chun and there is no consensus in this topic across different lineages

Arirang!

I had been taught Isshinryu while I lived in Woodward Oklahoma but the man that taught me moved away and I wish that I could find him I really want to finish learning Isshinryu with everything in me

I've noticed over the years it doesn't matter what style someone comes from when they start studying Tai chi not only will it enhance their skill but their understanding about almost everything as well

Aswel as correct body positionings and alinement we need to be strikeing bags and pads they are invaluable for building power We can twist our hips all day but without striking a resistance surface we will never build true power I learned this by parting ways with my first karate instructor and training western boxing with several different instructors that's when I learned to strike with real power ...

Back when I did Goju Ryu, this one was my favorite. I need to start practicing it again.

thank you 🙏🏼 nice 👍🏾

Absolutely no criticism intended But myself as a karate blackbelt who also trained extensively in western boxing I can see where if being used for street self defense a good bit more footwork and body movement would be needed ( to be on the safe side)

No get the lowest ranking student to clean the Dojo floor 😊👍

Very much like the sequence of nihanshi koryu uchinadi style 👍

I’d love to see your new kata. Many would.

You've have to do the technique pretty dam fast as nobody is going to throw one punch then stand there while you spin around in to correct position then throw them ...

You do kinda wonder how much would work on a resisting opponent and how much is the "art" for "Arts sake "

This video certainly won't be made fun of.

thank you 🙏🏼 Nice 👍🏾

I meant to say thank you too! I already saw this, where these guys are impressive!

Fulcrum, basic leverage. Isn't it strange how people seem very slow to realize this..? I guess they think all the instructions for moving the body come at the time of birth. I've noticed that most anatomy books are lacking in several ways which a Buddhist-Taoist like me notices right away. A) no, or very little, reference to the tie over with other animal anatomy B) lack of description of functions of many bones, leading to C) a lack of any reference to sequencing of parts to move. On top of this, the average is sought, so that smaller bones aren't even illustrated, not to mention the fascial systems. Chen's great work and his teacher's seems to me to lie in matching the two Eastern and Western approaches to the body. Looking at the classics through the lens of the western biomechanics and discovering new ways of describing the functioning of the body. I have been quietly researching the same things too. I also learn directly from nature but this seems 'strange' to everyone I tell. If you become friends with animals and you ask them (in your mind) how they move, they will tell you..! Of course, you have to have eyes and the heart-mind perception to do it. Only shamans and deep meditators seem to know what I am talking about. But what Westerners forget is that we are animals too. Without leverage, our evolutionary ancestors wouldn't have learned to swim, or come out of the water. They wouldn't have learned to fly or to hunt. We are not just cousins to chimpanzees but related to all living organisms...! This is why we must be against the destruction of nature via 5-G. See Arthur Firstenberg's book.

Thank you for posting this... this is a great interview; When Master Chen said "You can not forget your American root.." I nearly jumped out of my seat!! My teacher said the exact same thing to me many years ago... Thanks again

Twist punch discussion interesting. Consistent with what I was taught by Sensei Chester Holubecki. Great video. Thanks

Great video! Thank you sensei. How would you incorporate Totiho and Tobokuho principles in "not tossing"? Thank you

Kata is too fast

Interesting coincidence - my first trip to Okinawa was in 1991, too.

Very interesting and thought provoking. Thank you for sharing 🙇🏻‍♂️

Thank you
