These are IFKKA specific Youtube videos, by IFKKA members and about IFKKA members.
If you have any more that you think are worth putting online, please, let Sensei
Shah know.
Xavier Stocca doing Taikyoku Sono San
Here is a video of a junior student, Xavier Stocca, doing Taikyoku Sono San at an Australian Martial Arts Championships NSW event in 2011, filmed on his parents' smartphone. While it's not the best rendition of the kata, it's nonetheless a very good one, and should be more than enough for other junior students to learn from while preparing for their 8th kyu grading (blue belt).
Sensei Shah at the 2011 All Australia Karate Championships
Sensei Shah entered in both the Veteran's Black Belt and Open Black Belt divisions for
kata, points, and freestyle sparring. Needless to say, he's getting a bit slow
for the sparring, but he managed to get 1st Place in both kata divisions, doing
Sushiho kata - a required kata for our 3rd Dan gradings. Here's a video of
his kata in in the Open Male Black Belt division.
Marco Stocca at the 2010 AMAC State Titles.
Marco and his brother Xavier have had a good year this year with regard to
trophies, with over 40 of them between the two of them. Below is a video of
Marco and some of his performance at the 2010 AMAC State Titles. Xavier also
managed to take 1st Place (and hence State Champion) in the 8-10 Freestyle Sparring
division. Both of them managed to take State Championships in Freestyle AND Points
Sparring, as well as 3rd place in kata at the ACT State Titles some weeks earlier.
2010 Fire Bo at Newtown dojo
One of students at Newtown does a bit of fire stick twirling at Uni, and he brought his fire stick along. We all decided to give it a go, and here's the result when Senpai John does it!
2009 Marrickville Festival Demonstration
Kata Demonstration at Kancho Johannes Wong's Dojo 25th Anniversary
Freestyle Team Bo Kata - John Pegios and Senpai Ben Osland
John Pegios and Ben Osland have been working on a freestyle bo kata, with a lightweight
bo. This is a class demo, caught by a camera phone. Once it's been perfected,
we'll do a proper video of it and replace this one, but for now, this one will
have to do.
2007 AMAC State Finals - Colts Heavyweight Final
Here's where Alexander and Michael slug it out. Alexander wins with a few select high kicks, but it's their second fight. Michael won the first time, and is now waiting for the tie-breaker.
2008 Demonstrations
We sent a team to the festival, to show
what we could do. This is part of it. It also shows that you have to hold
the boards tight and stand your ground.
Here's Jasmine Sullivan's phone cam video of Sensei Shah doing
a couple of board breaks at the Newtown Festival.
Saiha kata with bo
Saiha kata is the signature IFK kata, and our logo, the wave, is derived from it. At the 2004 IFK Black Belt camp, the then Sensei (now Shihan) Dave Lund-Regan introduced bo and bo kata to the IFK. This video shows the IFK 'translation' of Saiha kata to bo.
