Shotei Dai Kata (Performed Slowly)

I've uploaded a slow performance of the Asai-ryuha kata 'Shotei-dai'
________

Even though I'm performing Shotei-dai slowly, please note my use of 'natural energy'/junansei, which is the essence of Asai-karate. This karate-way literally allows one to continue Shotokan training throughout their life whilst continuing to increase impact power (without unnaturally moving, and inevitably damaging the joints).
