Kanku Sho Shotokan Karate do Kata Directed by Ogura Shihan (Remake)

Kanku Sho is a smaller and more advanced version of Kanku Dai. In Shotokan, there exist three kata that have two versions: Kanku, Bassai, and Gojushiho. Each has a Sho (small) version and a Dai (big) version, the Dai form usually being the one with the larger frame and greater number of movements. Yasutsune Itosu is believed to have been responsible for these second editions. He used Kanku as a model for the newer Kanku Sho, thereby creating two forms of the kata, each having similar embusen and pattern of movements. “All the videos, songs, images, and graphics used in the video belong to their respective owners and I or this channel does not claim any right over them.
