- The most popular image associated with kata is that of a karate practitioner performing a series of punches and kicks in the air. The kata are executed as a specified series of approximately 20 to 70 moves, generally with stepping and turning, while attempting to maintain perfect form. There are perhaps 100 kata across the various forms of karate, each with many minor variations. The number of moves in a kata may be referred to in the name of the kata, eg. Gojushiho, which means "54 steps." The number of moves may also have links with Buddhist spirituality. The number 108 is significant in Buddhism, and kata with 54, 36, or 27 moves (divisors of 108) are common. The practitioner is generally counselled to visualize the enemy attacks, and his or her responses, as actually occurring, and karateka are often told to "read" a kata, to explain the imagined events.
In teaching the open handed kata, most styles of Karate start with a series of three, or sometimes two, very simple kata called blocking forms before advancing to five basic kata named Pinan in some systems and Heian in others. By working through this series (in order: Shodan, Nidan, Sandan, Yondan, Godan (except in Wado Ryu Karate, where Shodan and Nidan are reversed)) the practitioner learns all the basic stances and techniques before moving on to more advanced kata. Traditionally, kata are taught in stages. Previously learned kata are returned to in order to show more advanced techniques or ways of doing things, as beginners do not have the same knowledge and experience that practitioners further up the ranks have. It is not uncommon in some styles for students testing for Shodan (first rank black belt) to have to repeat every kata they have learned from the first belt, but at a "black belt" level, for example, with better technique, power, amongst others. This system is often used for the lower grades as well. The student will perform one new kata and one or two previous ones, to demonstrate how much they have progressed and how quickly they can learn new things.
Rest in peace and with great honor, master Kanazawa!
HE AINT DEAD BRUH
@@epic5585 He is google up sensei kanazawa and youll know
Sensei Hirokazu Kanazawa Soke; great honor!
@@epic5585 nigga shut the fuck up u dont know shit.
how did he pass by, can someone cover me? Sorry to hear.
What I really like about this master is he is not all showy or dramatic. He showcases constant focus, technique and the simplicity of the movements perfectly, and that is someone you can learn from, who is not out to better his image with theatrics.

this is exactly how it should be performed everytime!
@@flightreactstvlive6477 sensei kanazawa is an icon and a master of his craft performances can change between players and as far as i am concerned he is the easiest sensei to learn from, may his soul rest in piece 🙏🤲
Such kime

Sensei Kanazawa. You teach Shotokan karate the way it was meant to be. Your tradition extends from Sensei Nakayama. He allowed you to be an apostle of karate throughout the world. Thank you! Your memory will live forever. Sensei RIP. Domo Arigato.
I haven't trained in years and yet, I still am returning decades later to learn from and be amazed by this extraordinary sensei.
Me too, im so nervous to go back but I honestly missed it so much. Wish you all the best with your training
You and me BOTH my friend! May we both get back into it, in one way or another 🥋
A true warrior spirit lives forever long after he is gone. RIP shotokan legend.
Rest in Piece grandmaster Kanazawa, you lived with honor and dignity, you wont be forgotten
Read some posts and some are rude. A 10th Dan deserves respect no matter. Yes there are people who can perform better, but without the Sensei teaching it right they couldnt.

Assim vemos que muitos não possuem Budō, incapazes de respeitar um Mestre
Muy de acuerdo. Un sensei como Kanazawa se respeta

This Enpi kata is one of my favorite Katas. Kanazawa Sensei guides us how to do Enpi kata in easy way. We thank you so much. We'll never forget your kindness.
Respectfully,
Karate Myint Kywe
@DINAMO ZAGREB it's enpi though many pronounce and even write it as empi
I’ve learned so much from watching these videos. I’m very grateful to be able to access this kind of content and learn from it. Hater’s can hate and they will.
I'm brazilian and I think that this vídeo is awesome. Sensei Kanazawa is a great máster and your prótese to teach is absolutely consistente. OSS!
Hey isaias, love to Brazil, btw from india here!!!
Received my Shodan back in 2012..Absolutely love Shotokan..RIP Sensei...You are a Ledgend
As a child I used to study watching sensei Kanazawa, and now as adult, I'm still watching. Brilliant ❤️ Oss, sensei
Я разделяю участь с тобой!
I'm in the process of studying the 4 brown/black belt katas - Bassai Dai, Kanku Dai, Enpi, and Jion - and I feel that this is the trickiest one to initially learn. There are so many new movements I have to learn and get used to. I know Kanku Dai is super long, but a lot of it is just repeating bits from previous Katas. On the other hand, it might be the hardest to master because of the flying kick part, which is probably more difficult than any other individual move in the 4 katas.
Kanku Dai is my FAVORITE of the ones I had learned!😁 (that was many years ago!😅)
What about jiin and jitte
What a perfection!!! Really wonderful ❤
katas do take time to master years in fact,,,i learned enpi in a few minutes after years of training (im now a nidan blackbelt)im still improving on it far from mastered though,,but its far better than when i started and its getting stronger every year,,people who think different dont do shotokan or just dont understand,,,the power of shotokan is unbeleivable though........but it takes along time but its worth it,,,the long road is better if you want the best results....oss
for you to get your 2nd dan u must have at least 2 years of training on that belt and for 3rd dan you must at least 3 years of training on that belt. you must be pretty old.
Such a precised, perfect and powerful jump I havent yet seen in my life !
whoever dislikes this dont know how to do karate
Is true
Very much agreed
The 199 dislikes are Sensei Kreese and his Cobra Kais
Grande mestre Kanazawa ! Gratidão por ter deixado esse conteúdo! O karatê está no meu coração
My current favorite kata done authentically, one of my favorites for sure!
My favorites jion
Oh you commented this 14 years ago 😬
I was swallowed a month and this video helped me learn empi and pass the brown test
I have been practicing shotokan karate for five years now and I have reached blue belt (last night actually) I can't wait for next years promotion! I hope I get titled sempei, wish me luck.
Ovo je moja Najdraza kata
Este es el Maestro de Maestros Osssss mis respetos
Like all art the "self" must be removed and the art come into the practitioner. This gentleman is or was from reading the comments ALL art. I did shotokan under a Japanese master a few years and I know a extraordinary Karate when I see it. I know that Kan Ku Dai is the most important and or representative Kata in ShotoKan, but Empi is my favorite aesthetically speaking. It has Shoaling Roots it is the only kata in ShotoKan that changes levels as it does truly the flight of the swallow.
this is also another favourite of mine.i study under sensei graham austi 6th dan. this is a very beautiful kata
Rest in peace Grand Master Kanazawa. Oss sensei.
1:04 I was about 10 when I had to learn this and I remember all going "huwaaaaaaaaa...." in my head when I did that
I'v acquired a shodan in gendai nindo ryu and a nidan in shotokan. This is by far my favorite shotokan kata
Well done! Me gusta. This player kept the flying swallow flow going and plus he made moves like a samurai, which i liked very much.
🤦♂️ The first karate masters were fighting against samurais. Samurais were the fully armored warriors, who used steel arms. Sometimes they could even attack peasants to get their possessions and money or just for fun. Karate was invented to protect from armored people (samurais, bandits, robbers.), using just your own hands and legs. These are two different things.
really a terrific one, kanazawa uber alles !
Saya banyak belajar kata dari beliau. Beristirahatlah dengan tenang dalam damai Nya oss
True. It's what is in your heart and mind, not what is around your waist.
I LOVE this kata!!
Muchas gracuas sensei por enseñarmelos...a veces no puedo ir a entrenar por mis estudios, pero practico en mi casa y siempre llego con alguna sorpresa como un kata nuevo que aprendo gracias a ustedes y asi no me atraso tanto..domo arigatou gozaimasu!!!
Grand Master rest in peace
i love this kata

black belt in karate and done enpi for it full marks !!!!! keep practising "train Hard win easy " Andrew Reid
I started karate at 6-and-a-half because my schoolmates reccomended it to me. I carried it on at er... later than 6-and-a-half for discipline
I am blue belter I learned this kata in my yellow 2 belt I like this kata
This my kata favorite
I`m Blue belt but I love this high graded Katas
What Belt are you now?😂
Rest in piece Sensei
I do Tang Soo Do and one of my friends went out to my school and taught me and the other black belts this form
It's been 8 years I stopped doing karate, this was my favorite kata, even though I always messed up the jumping part.
I went back to training in a class 25 years later and I am loving it.
Yeah I’m struggling too this is gonna be my black belt kata my friends say I’m crazy and should just do bassai dai but at least I’m not as crazy as someone doing kanku dai as their black belt kata
Superrr
Rest In Peace 🥺🥺😭😭😭
Grandissimo sensei kanazawa, riposa in pace. Oss
hermosa kata la estoy practicando en este momento.
Oh yes ,he very good
Best thanks. I must more trained/ practice.. :)
This Kata is very nice.
Oss Soke Kanazawa.
im going to break the ice. I respect a lot kanazawa sensei, but he has numerous mistakes while there are many people saying that he hasnt... For example he always moves his head forward when he raise his knee. Sometimes he open his arms before performing shuto uke, doing a pre-movement
+Rafael Paredes Kanazawa rules. .
The "pre-movement" he does is part of the technique, and important trapping the attacker's arm before striking the neck. There is a tendency to drop the "preparation" movement to look quicker, but this derives from ignorance of the function of the technique.
James Brodie Also, in katas we do telegraph the moves a bit more so that the move is clear. An example of this is shtoke, where we bring hand up all the way to the ear.
In application, everything is useful. Shuto uke is not really a block, except at the most basic level. Bringing the hand to the ear, while reaching forward with the other hand covers your head while receiving and deflecting the attacker's strike. The shuto strikes the attacker's carotid sinus, as your other hand(the hand at your solar plexus) traps his arm. The preparation movements serve a purpose in combat; they are not "just so the move is clear".
Who do you mean by "we". I have been doing Karate since 1984. :)
I thought this kata was called empi, not enpi - can anyone clarify for me?
Bobby Tedora Hi, it is indeed called "Enpi" 👍
same
It has been called both in different books. In Karate-Do Kyohan and the Best Karate series it is called Empi. It is also known as Wanshu in other styles of karate. I much prefer this version to the excessively low stances and long dramatic pauses seen in more modern times.
Bobby Tedora its 'empi'... I got destroyed by this in the kata competition
Its like Kempo vs Kenpo
@RainBirdLori as they say , nobody's perfect , but it takes years to get your tecnhiques , so that they are crisp , flowing and have the right amount of control and power . one thing my sensei taught us is breathing , timing using hips to create power , break the kata down into set chunks , and not race through it , and most importantly look where you are going , if changing direction , look first , then move with grace and power
Rest in Peace Kanazawa
Interesting, we have a very similar Kata in our style of Karate called "Wanshu".
really best kata
opa muito bom em é com ele que vou mudar de faixa hehe
Nice kata
@RainBirdLori unfortunatley there are some dojos who promise this and that , If you trained every day , it still takes time to fully know the techniques and the katas , i friend of mine who 's taken up shotokan at a different club from me , said he could go straight to 8th kyu from total beginner , i went through some basics with him and said ,do it the proper way and do one grade at a time , also heard of dojo's showing beginners advanced kata , walk before you can run
i just did my black belt grading and this was one of my kata
@HarryRobLadas of course keep practicing , depends on you club but , will most likely be basics , followed by a kata of your choice , from say bassai dai , kanku dai , enpi etc , to one of the grading instructors choice , and possibly a random choice of heian kata , also free sparring . if you train hard and get your fitness up , it should be fine , your sensei will make sure you are ready , best of luck
This is awesome! *___*
Super sir
Great video
It’s really weird to watch this when I know Wanshu (Wado Ryu version) 😂
Oss master kanazawa
Halo 😇 love ❤️❤️😘😘 you un jem 2021
You'r sanshin it's perfect!
Empi :voo da andorinha , oss
This is my chosen kata for my black belt in september >_< I still need to work on the jump D:
@RainBirdLori at least 3 months between for kyu grades up to 2nd ,then 6 months to a year before shodan , then after that , it's up to you and your sensei when your ready
Can u say is this going to come for black belt
I was lucky enough to meet a 10th Dan once and he signed my license
your kata is so good =D
oss. for the old trad. mastes. bow.
@Amestrian It honestly depends on the shotokan dojo
Sounds like this has some other background noise, like it was taped over something maybe?
I'm Black Belt too...i´m 1ºDan in Karate Shotokan
@junioruchiha89 kanku dai is for the ones that are almost begining brown belt
So isso o voo da andorinha? Pensei que teria mais saltos.
I find something really strange about this kata it is called enpi but does not use the move enpi has anyone got an explenation for that?
@oooifoundanickle How so?.. you are saying U just had 3 lessons in Ur whole life and you get the orange belt?.. or I dnt get it rigth?
Is this the first Black-belt Kata???
good
hw many times i tried to remember dis kata?
never worked out 4 me :(
@Shyntina I'm sorry to say but I am a blue belt (five years of training) and I can do empi perfectly, maybe try a more difficult kata?
or taffypaul... kata doesn't really require strength but the perfection of each stance... love the audio preview! hehehe...
Prepare yourself to receive enemy attack
Super, nice Kata. :)
おっす.
Oss
ossss!!!
@Amestrian no is tekki shodan or kankuddai
Ossss
yeah, i think the move that your talking about is empi with M not enpi with N, they both have different meanings i think that with N it means swallow, and with M its the move that you are talking about.
öyle konuşma sevmezsan izleme çok güzel yaptı arkadaşımla ben bunu yaparık
