Look like a good practictioner of Shotokan, some may think he was be a little too vocal on every move. But I found the overall performance solid, and a good represenation of Shotokan.

Thanks for the links. I always like to see how other styles practice similar Katas.
But I must say that I personally found the Kata executions to be incredibly poor. I was gob-smacked to see him wearing a Black Belt. That was the standard of a yellow / early-green belt.
No Focus.
No looking before turning and blocking.
No Power in the blocks.
Techniques pulled. (That was a bad Maegeri).
No apparent understanding of certain techniques.
Walking Stance should have a straight rear leg. It looks like a longer cat stance.

Jude, Pretty sure he was referring to the original kata presentation ones from Student O' Life.

My Reply - For what he was trying to do I found that he had enough of all the things you said he has missing. My God it was a practice Video not competition. His level of performance was fine for his level and purpose.
I don't believe you need to have a lot of facial expression to show focus or exaggerated head or striking/blocking moves to note change of direction or power in forms (thats certainly not what you do in a fight) or super loud face quakeing kias. Espeicailly in a practice kata demo.
For a Black belt level showing basic movement of a Kata his performance was fine. Would it place him in a competition probably not but I'm sure he could up the performance if in Competition. But for the purpose of the video he did fine.
Have I seen better for sure but I've also seen alot worse.
Thats one thing about putting personal performances on video and posting theres always someone expecting Grand Championship performance from practice videos.
Opinion are like a$$ holes, you have yours, I have mines. For the purpose of the video his kata were fine, IMHO.

Just for quick contrast I regrettably offer the following, which seem to be done for competition and/or demonstration. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24SKbTD1Q...ead.php?t=62216
