Teaches the katas
Nijushi-Ho and Kanku-Sho. Included are detailed breakdowns and
applications of the sequences in each kata.
The kata Nijushi-Ho, presented by Sensei
Bendickson, demonstrates the smooth buildup of internal strength and
impressive release of power that can be developed by the advanced
karate-ka. This can be seen throughout the kata, especially in slow
actions utilizing grabbing blocks followed by explosive counter-attacks,
such as thrust kicks and punches.
Kanku-Sho is
demonstrated by Sensei Ertl. This kata allows the karate-ka the
opportunity to develop mobility with its many sliding actions and two
very difficult jumps. The subtle changes in distance are useful
practice for all aspects of karate training but are especially useful
for kumite practice. (64 minutes)
