He's got that snap; he's got that zing; he knows how to do that kata thing.
Yess
No...
Yes...
No, you dont now about karate, dat kata it's the best kata ever...
This is excellent: super fast, powerful and precise. The softer movements, too , are well executed. Very respectable rendition of Empi, ossu.
WKF, JKA, FSKA are all Shotokan, but each group performs kata differently.
This is a very well done kata
I only need to say this. I also thought that he is doing the most fantastic kata. what a speed, what strength. just perfect. until I downloaded the movie and played it on a editing video software. I played it in 1/10 of a sec. the conclusion is this : The man skeeps postions. his speed prvents seeing it by the referees.
yeah, you are right. i was wondering how he could possibly be that fast but he is definitely skipping stances.
Well, if your karate is too fast for the naked eye then you must be doing SOMETHING right.
SonicPAJ He’s going too fast because he’s doing the kata without the regard for certain stances, so from a traditional and formal standpoint what he did was incorrect.
Really???
Wow!
Absolutely great kata and effort. Yes, one does compromise technique for speed. But this is fast ,hard and very impressive.
There is a lot of you dissecting his form and criticizing his performance. This is what is wanted by the WKF in championships, so he is performing accordingly. There is nothing worse than a kata that is done slowly or static. it doesnt show the true potential of what can be done. For spectators watching - a static kata emphasising the techniques does not inspire belief that Karate works.
Remember, kata is an interpretation of techniques put into a sequence. It might not be done your way so respect the kareteka and his interpretation.
Exactly, the "compromised" technique is what you would end up doing in a REAL fight. Important for them to remember that.
Sono fiero di essere italiano, dopo averlo visto! Incredibile, un maestro per tutti i karateka.
Finished in 1 minute!
Beautiful kata,Luca Vladesi's power is incredible.That is what i love about this kata
I just learned Empi and this video was very helpful
Guys this is WKF style and not traditional karate....
OSS !
Its shotokan
ALISDAIR BUCK shot okay is tskf not wkf
Ben world karate federation is not a style
Ellis Henry exactly
Sometimes the stances are sacrifised too much for speed.
Edit: at 0:39 that knee move looked too much like mae geri (i only know how to properly spell it in my own language, not english.)
Sometimes kata is done so fast it hides it’s inadequacies ...
Luca is definitely one of the Kata legends.
He is so awesome! Just one thing. I tried to study how he does his kata by playing it 0.25 speed on CZcams. It doesn't seem that all the stances are done. He skips some of the stances.. Is that right?
I've noticed this as well but this isn't the best example of Enpi from him. There are better times tho :)
NicsCL Yeah.Yoday he was in Romania(a stage) and he worked on Enpi,showing us how it looks like this kata,and it was awesome.Speed,focus,power,good stances,breathe.He teached me(us) all the secrets for his Enpi,but even like that I don't think I can do such a good performance
great job.. nice focus.!!
Dayum !!! That was clean
i like his balance a lot! and it seems like if he was rushing to finish it, the pace was off sometimes, also very powerful techniques!
Observe the hikate hand which is constantly relaxed and not correctly positioned. The transition of the waza in this kata is being sacrificed for speed. I am fed up of seeing Yudansha constantly slapping Gi's to give the impression of a fast dynamic technique...a sound effect. This certainly isn't BUDO kata as the techniques are being sacrificed for speed. Sadly competition is morphing it into a dance.
Oss
Hi so desu.😕
.. but an impressive dance though!
Esse domina o KIME. Incorporou o espírito do Karatê.
Excelente postura y presición. Oss
Magnifique 😊
Good balance and kata strong
amazing
I really don't understand why people so much complaints he is done awesome good.
Maestro d Italiano ;)
Watch at 0.25 speed
Soy un karateka novato y me sirvio paramimitar y hacer bien el kara este video
0:30 which way is my hand supposed to be again???
0:48 Pieeeeee!
I like this guy
Che agilità. Perfetto.
Amazing.
Wonderful
Very nice!!!!!
very impressive .
Well Done 🥋
very good
That guy on the background: 'looks okay, hold my beer. I can do that with one finger in my nose.'
is there any possibillity of making a slowmotion version of Valdesi's enpi? I've been a huge fan of him in a long time, so i wanted a slowmotion verson so i could try to do the kata his way :)
Great. OSS!
Awesome kata! Also is he shouting only "pi!" at the beggining?:)
Estuvo impecable, lo felicito...
Muy bueno!!!!!!!!!!!! :D
This isn't "crap." He placed 2nd for a reason. It's fast and powerful; his hikite is fine. The problem is that it isn't precise. It's not "clean," as someone mentioned earlier. And it's not that he's making mistakes; his form is just a little sloppy here.
Muito bom
Great 👍
Gooddddd.
Bravo
برك الله فيكم
Hello mister Enkamp, It's always a pleasure to watch your videos...
I'm writing this comment to know your thoughts about Shotokan karate, which is the one I practice. Also, I wanted to know what you think about this athlete, Luca Valdesi. What's your opinion about his technique?
I do enjoy your videos, you make me want to get better and better, trying to keep Shoshin's mentality. Thank you, for everything you're doing.
P.S. Is Karate Nerd in China going to be published on CZcams too?
What belt are you?
Out of curiosity :)
nice
Nice kata
His kata is always amazing.But...Sometimes,he does not the complete hikite.That is a bad mistake.That being said by a fan of him from Romania;I even had the ocasion to train on Enpi with him.He had a speed...Hats off!He had an unusually power behind his techniques...But a so-and-so hikite
Geez😂 never seen anyone w such speed and focus.
I guess he reinvented the traditional front stance, along with his chambered arm sticking out to the side.
Good
Nice
if you take a closer look you will see that he lackes also kime and power, its fast and that is all the WKF judges want to see, it looks spectacular, it fits to tlevision and the IOC
Mantap ee bang
Quelle vitesse😮😮😮
WOW!!!
Minha irmã Beatriz Pinto ,faz caratê ...faixa vermelha ..ela é boa !!
Esse kata é oque ela mais gosta "
What style is this? I though this was thought out and had vision in the performance. I see lots of criticisms here and patiently await their reply.
What was the competition ?
Сегодня соревнования ак барс! Первый круг empi буду делать
I have to say that Sensei Luca Valdesi's performance was very good. Why do some people criticise him instead of giving someone credit when credit is due?
I am aware that some people do not believe in KATAs so when they see this performance, they are sceptical if the techniques would work in a real fight.
Even among the early masters after Gochin Funakoshi, the split in JKA was due to one group wanting to remain traditional, teaching karate as a combat art, while another wanting to promote it as a sport.
But Gochin Funakoshi believed in KATAs, and was said to teach only 15 KATAs. So was he wrong? He did not really teach karate and only taught a dance which was made up to look like a martial art? If so, he had the Japanese fooled big time.
I think he is the king of kata
Very little variation at the hip. very good
He has a pretty good kime, and he's doing perfectly good kata, especialy enpi/empi whatever, its only about school of shotokan, that he has learned kata like this, its not a mistake, just a little bit diference in hikite between his and others, i agree that's a shotokan school is a unity of the same, but the world is big and, a little diference in teaching kata is not mistake, but we must work to ensure that we all must do the same kata, as well as kumite, bunkai etc.
اداء كاتا عظيم بسرعه والقوه
Sir I want tips for kata sir
This use to be my kata for championships in the 90s…🤣🤣
Great man fantastic kata
He is one of the best
that's not a typo actually. If you transcribe the Japanese correctly, it is written "Enpi". The sound before the "p", just becomes an "m" (the character used in Japanese is still an "n" though). Henceforth writing it "Enpi" is correct, and the writing "m" is more or less made by transcribers, so that people who don't speak Japanese still pronounce it correctly.
just took a closer look at way he is doing in slow mo, and i don't like it. Skipping some stances, and sequence gedan barai -> age tsuki is done really fast only because of lack of stop and improper technique imo. What do you think about it Jesse? I've been learned that after most gedan barai i make have to be at least small stop with kime, and here we don't have it...
Wher is kime?
wow... just wow
La kata es de competencia pero el participante no termina sus tecnicas lo cual le resta apresiacion.
Ricardo Alberto Gonzalez Ramirez concuerdo
Strong Kata 💪💪
Ahthought fast, it is excelent
But did he win?
ماشاء الله
Empi: speed and strenght Katà, very well !
එලම katha එකක් bn
I want suparinpei karate kata sir
👏👏
Классно
The most important thing about when doing a kata, isn't if the hikite gets pulled perfectly back or not so perfectly. The important thing is about the power. So what if the hikite gets pulled the whole way back, if ur strike isn't strong enough? I'm sure u can't even do the kata 10% as gd as he does it
0:39 It's my idea or her Mae geri doesn't finish?
I was watching this thinking "If I give my opinion in the comments I am gonna get slated but I cant let this shit go" , then I saw this as the first comment and thought " Thank fuck someone else sees it".
Oss...
Ooooooo I'm not sure... is this how it is performed in his style in class or just exaggerated for comp? Anyone?
He has incredibly quick hands. Unfortunately this goes against the entire point of kata competition, which is for your techniques to actually be seen. Kudos to his athleticism though.
Xin vía ❤
I was knowing empi but i Forgot rip xD he is so good
What‘s wrong about it?
If you think that he is wrong,then please send me the link of the correct way of doing Enpi/Empi,because I do it like him.
Thank you =)
Enpi in the right version is the Hirokazu Kanazawa 10 dan version. You can find it on youtube
Thank you :)
Or try Sensei Ohta, on youtube. Traditional Shotokan, JKA. The source of Shotokan. I knew him in the 80's when he was the young asistant to Sensei Enoeda, the "Tiger" of JKA! He has developed into an exceptional Kata Karateka.
Thank you so much for the information ^_^
***** I didn't mean same strengh, I meant same techniques
wtf I only learning this Kata and I can't see anything lol , I need a slow motion , you are like jet
Spoko
1:24
The only time you win is if this is used in a situation and end up staying alive.
As good as it gets !!!
strong kata but I saw a few faults in his kion
i think only original moves from shotokan kata comes from its original country,,,japan
