Karate kata bassai dai

Bassai dai, an intermediate brown belt kata, used by many shotokan karateka, to not only grade through the brown belt ranks, but also used for shodan (1st dan) grading exams.

The shotokan bassai contains many unique turns and karate moves, and to done correctly, require tremendous agility ad skill.

Watching the likes of the great shotokan masters, like Sensei Enoeda, kanazawa, Yahara, Osaka, etc, it soon becomes clear, when you yourself try to replicate their kata, how skillful and precise these masters are. Well, just mentioning these great masters, inspires me to get practicing.
