SOKE KANAZAWA

This is pure GOLD with the twenty-six Shotokan katas demonstrated by the founder of SKIF himself, Soke Hirokazu Kanazawa. 

There are many ways of doing kata, and then there is the Soke Kanazawa way!

While other branches of Shotokan karate may interpret some moves slightly differently to SKIF, Soke's interpretations in terms of breathing, timing and dynamics can be considered fundamentally correct and inherently what the masters of old had in mind when creating the katas.

On the page that follows - 'KATA', you will find a detailed commentary of the same kata by Sensei Paul Walker who trained at the SKIF Honbu dojo in Japan for three years.

Meanwhile, when in doubt... refer to the BOSS!
