We remember...

сообщение Asai Karate.

This video is devoted to We remember....

This video is part of the Asai kata collection, an archive of seminar and training footage connected with Tetsuhiko Asai's school of karate. Asai-Ryu is rooted in Shotokan and enriched with principles of Chinese White Crane kung fu, and the material collected here shows how that approach is taught and practised in the dojo. The collection is updated every week with further kata and seminar recordings.

This memorial video gathers moments from Asai's karate — kata, kumite, and teaching — and it is best watched slowly, as a reminder of the range of his art. Notice how the same principles appear in every setting: the relaxed shoulders, the precise footwork, the power that comes from the hips, and the calm focus that never breaks. The kata passages show the form; the kumite passages show the application; the teaching passages show how he passed both on. For those who trained with him, the footage brings back a teacher; for those who did not, it is an introduction to a karateka whose influence continues through his students. The value of a memorial collection like this one is that it keeps the teaching available, so that new students can still learn from it.
