Shotokan Kata JION By Ogura Sensei & Naka Sensei

Jion 慈恩 ("Temple Sound"[citation needed]) is a representative kata in the Shotokan system because of the importance of the perfection of the basic stances it contains, notably zenkutsu dachi (front stance) and kiba dachi (horse stance). Also practiced in some Shitō-ryū organizations, emphasis is also placed on Kokutsu dachi, or back stance. The kata is noticeably shorter than its Shotokan counterpart.
In this video, this kata teach by JKA Instructor, Ogura Shihan and demonstrated by Naka Shihan

Spirt or attitude or heart is everything. Even with little talent or athleticism Spirit will shine through.

I've had the pleasure of being trained by Ogura Sensei in my home country of Australia on at least 2 occasions at different seminars. He and his JKA colleagues always bring something 'extra', you always learn something new. Even watching this video, makes me really miss these kind of training sessions which we now miss due to Covid!
