I thought the person (blue belt, I think) doing the Circle of the Tiger in the previous post did a pretty good job. I was especially pleased to see that the form was done in a pretty ‘by-the-book’ fashion. This was in contrast by the unseen, but unfortunately not unheard off-screen Bruce Lee / Strangling a Cat festival nearby. This always disappoints me about tournament kata, in that everyone turns into something like Michael Bolton stubbing his toe repeatedly, providing a long drawn out kiai for every move of their form. This next video is of a green belt performing the Ryuei-Ryu (say that ten times fast) kata Pachu at a tournament. I sure hope this lady won.
