Kata or Haka

[opr1945]

I came across this video. It reminds me of New Zealand Haka more than Karate. In the Dojo I attend they is very little yelling involved. Does anyone know what style this is from? (ear rings and bracelet are a nice touch)

 

[Gyakuto]

Nutter Ryu, I think…

Ahh.... and it's back..... was waiting for its return!

 

[Gyakuto]

I’ve never seen so many bows in such a short space of time! Well…

Back from where?

 

[Gyakuto]

Her movements aren’t awful by any means; they do lack power and kime so are more akin to dancing. There are few people who can perform what looks like a nice deep shikodachi like she does- very nice. Her obi (is it brown? Might be contamination from the fake tan booth, I suppose) is tied and sits very well too. It’s her teacher that has clearly misinformed her about the purpose and application of kakegoe and the wearing of jewellery in martial arts performance. She’s clearly lived in the U.K. at some point, since at 1:21, she shouts out “****!” so she wins browny points in my book, for avoiding the other terrible version of the word, beloved of Americans

I wonder what became of her?

Ar*e/A*se/Ars*/*rse, by the way…

It's "Kiai ryu" an offshoot of Master Ken's Ameri-do-te style.

I'd like to believe that performance was satire, but sadly I think it wasn't meant to be.

This looks more like some sort of ‘new’ style of Karate

Oh it pops up on this forum from time to time, people asking what the flippin' heck is going on in this vid! It is... intense huh!

Osu!!! Power baby!!! (Hoping someone knows this reference!)

I am  not going to perform Seiunchin like this. I refuse! Do not ever ask me!!

So is she doing Goju Ryu?

@isshinryuronin or is this what they mean when they say Sanchin kata is everything? Is THIS what they mean?!?!?

 

[_Simon_]

She is... doing something. I don't think so, her first vid form is called Gopai sho, I don't even know where that comes from to be honest. Some styles have a variety of kata from different places, so I really don't know what style!

That's the only part that makes sense to me in this thread.

In the video in front of the US open sign it looks like she has a GPS monitor on her right ankle.
