Kusanku Kata a study the as student progresses over the years.

 


                  In one sense this is likely pretty unique. I do not know of anyone who shows

                  what occurs to one individuals kata performance over decades.



I never filmed every performance but the visual record clearly shows
how the kata can move in time according to the students capabilities.

Each person is a unique individual after all.

 1991 Michael Cassidy as I originally taught it

 Young Lee was taught the same manner

but his own personality begin to show 1992

Young Lee perhaps the  mid 2000s – after 20 years of work on Kusanku

IMO there is not a right or a wrong version

 

Just the manner in which the practitioner develops

the form with his own potential.
