I dont want Mole bach to get a big head about this,but I ve just been watching osaka Sensei doing enpi kata and my god, I see his style so much in Mole Bach. There are so many similarities in how their bodies move - transition and technique, its uncanny! :shock: :D

Here's the link :

I LOVE the Sochin
Cryf oedd calon hen y glas glogwyni,
Cryfach oedd ei ebill ef a'i ddur,
Chwyddodd gyfoeth gwr yr aur a'r faenol,
O'i enillion prin a'i amal gur.

I wish :shock: :oops: :oops:

Siw,  I'd get a new guide dog and white stick if I were you.

Like I said, Osaka Sensei is the K9's bits, If anyone get's the chance to train with him GO FOR IT.

His English is VERY limited (it's like when Eryl takes a class), but he gets the point accross just by his body movement.
A friend is somebody you can call to help you move, a good friend is somebody you can call to help you move a body.

Osaka Sensei is based in Japan. He used to attend UKTKF courses in Edinburgh with Sensei. That is when we got to train with him.

Well that clip certainly takes me back a few years. I really like Osaka's kata (even if he is technically inferior to Kawasoe) and it makes a change from all the showy bullshit you see online these days. By the way mole bach I think you are being a little coy here, I think you look just like Osaka's angry little brother  :D :D

Great Video - wasn't that impressed by his Enpi to be honest  :? (looked a bit like my version  :P) - much preferred Sochin - but Gojushiho was also excellent  8)

Pity there's not more video of Kawasoe around  :( - especially competition footage - that would be excellent ....   8)
