In watching these videos I think it might be time to update what is out there!
ReplyDeleteChris get your camera ready - Taichiro limber up!
Toru's video is very new, but that's not exactly how I do/teach this (or any other) Kata.
ReplyDeleteI did make a Kata video in Japan with my students there, but only Heian 4 and up. And I was so out of shape, I could only do with half speed...
Well...being National Men's Kata champion could be an easy sell for you if you want to perform the Heian's!! Let's get it done!!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I"m down to help with this. Let's shoot it on a mountain top... :)
