“ … this Kata contains many varied techniques and movements, the most characteristic of which are the smoothly changing turns. From the performance of this Kata, aim to acquire the skills of stretching and contracting the body, control of speed to produce fast and slow techniques, production and dissipation of power, and the ability to jump, land, spring up and turn.”*

Sekiguchi Sensei performed Kankusho in 2008, at the age of 60.
