MOAR ASAI [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECvVO26nIts&playnext_from=TL&videos=6GqdTMiWajs"]Asai sensei 2002 - YouTube[/ame] note how stiff the assistant is when trying to imitate him. i found it kinda funny.

Karate Masters Let us not forget the Shotokai master Harada Sensei.also Kimura and Nanbu Senseis. These men inspired a generation of Karate students. Asano Sensei also rates a mention.I am not too sure if there are video clips of these men. My own favourite was the late great master Nishiyama Sensei.His book on Karate is still a masterpiece.
From 25 seconds onwards he's beating up sensei Terry O'Neill - there's something you don't see every day.
Kanazawa/Tery Oneill vid Unless I am mistaken anyone can see that this video is a demo from Kanazawa Sensei And Terry O'Neill Sensei .It appears to me that what is being demonstrated here are various practical applications of potential counter attacks with Kanazawa Sensei taking the role of Tori. Mr O' Neill is the Uke , he is not competing with Kanazawa Sensei .If indeed this is the case I hardly think that anybody could state that Mr O'Neill is being beat up.

HOLY <BEEP> just seeing him doing kihon is terrifying. *proceeds to rip the videos and watch them at quarter-speed* [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sA-yjNjHMqc&feature=related"]YouTube- Kururunfa - Ikemiyagi Masaki[/ame] here he is doing kururunfa in 82. i know people who would be horrified at how his technique looks. i simply consider getting hit by one of those techniques and get scared.
[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHRQPgx4_bU"]YouTube- El camino del Guerrero - Karate Do - 1ra. Parte[/ame] This is still the best video where you can get an idea of the power Ikemiyagi Sensei has. It's like getting hit by a wrecking ball. And actually, regarding his kihon if you really look at it you can see a lot of really amazing things about it. It's a very different way of doing the "normal" kihon.
Found another good video of Shinzato Sensei demonstrating his hip movement during techniques: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNhzDwQS4z8&feature=related"]YouTube- 新里å‹å½¦ã€€æ²–縄空手é“　æ¾æž—æµã€€å–œèˆŽå ´å¡¾ã€€æ•ä¸ƒæ®µã€€æ£æ‹³çªãを極ã‚ã‚‹[/ame]
http://www.theshotokanway.com/senseiibusukiinterview.html interview with sakae ibusuki sensei, former student of gichin funakoshi, recently returned to teaching with the KWF. http://www.okinawabbtv.com/culture/karate/okinawakarete_c/html/2010_shinzato_semina_en.html clip of a seminar with shinzato sensei. note in particular how he points out that the forearm blocks should also go forwards instead of just being swung to the side like most people tend to do them.
Great find Fish. I really enjoyed that. I can also see where one of my sensei got some of his uke ideas from, especially for gedan barai. Nice demo of sensen no sen as well.
Awesome video!!! I really like watching Kagawa Sensei. How someone that big and strong can be so fast and flexible is beyond me.

Just found this, apparently Miyagi Chojun Sensei himself is in it, using the tan, as well as some of his senior students, like Shinzato Sensei (Died WWII) [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RU3SX2ZfTUA&feature=related"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RU3SX2ZfTUA&feature=related[/ame]
