Influenced by a perforamnce

I thought I'd share with you the video footage that finally made me realize there was some element of my karate missing. I think I first saw it on, you guessed it 'Youtube.' However, I will give you two links.
This first link is directly to the video footage on the Shitokai web site. The video is of the Japanese national kata team performing Annan kata with bunkai at the 7th AKF championships. I hope you are as impressed as I was when I first saw it.

Link 1: http://www.shitokai.com/movies/AnnanJapanBunkai.php
Link 2: http://www.shitokai.com

The second link is directly to the Shitokai / Shito Ryu home page. The reason for this is for this style of karate in question (Shitokai / Shito Ryu) it has some tremendous information such as many kata videos, history of the style and much much more. well worth a few hours read as I have done over the past few months.
