Kanku Dai (Full Tutorial)

Welcome to Ultimate Karate! In today’s video we are learning Kata Kanku Dai (観空大). Jason Leung is a 4th Dan in Shotokan Karate Do :) 🥋⛩ ~ In Shotokan karate, Kankū-dai consists of 65 movements executed in about 90 seconds. It is a major form of the kata; its equivalent minor form is called Kankū-shō. Kankū-dai was one of Gichin Funakoshi’s favorite kata and is a representative kata of the Shotokan system. The embusen (path of movement) of Kankū-shō is similar to that of Kankū-dai, but it begins differently. It is a compulsory Shotoan kata and of high technical merit. As a result of Anko Itosu’s efforts, the Heian kata contain sequences taken from Kankū-dai. ~ *My Film Equipment* Sony A7C: 16-35 G Master: 20mm G Lens: Sony ECM-B1M Mic: Tiffen 82mm Variable ND Filter: ~
