	Unsu - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Being among the most advanced of kata, it is generally taught to karateka at the 3rd to 4th Dan.
		The movement, Unsu, or hands in the cloud, is used to sweep away the hands of the opponent and is said to signify the gathering clouds in a thunderstorm.
		The practice of Unsu is particularly satisfying, due to its rhythm, accent on speed, abrupt stops and numerous techniques not found in any other kata.

	WDOB.net MAI Shotokan Kata :: Unsu
		Where Shotokan experts look for demonstrations of basic techniques that are crystalline pure and carefully detailed, Unsu provides so much quick darting about that it is hard to see whether or not the person doing the kata has any decent technique at all to the untrained eye.
		Unsu stands accused by many of being a trashy and shallow kata.
		Perhaps Unsu was originally a folk dance on Okinawa performed to explain the rain, taifuns, and tidal waves.

		Het Shotokan Unsu is in grote lijnen hetzelfde als het Unhu (ook wel Unshu genoemd) in de karatestijl Shito Ryu.
		Unsu is voor de meeste Shotokankarateka het meest populaire kata.
		Het Unsu is daarom ook zeer aantrekkelijk voor de jonge karateka en wordt ook vaak eerder aangeleerd dan het Kankudai.

		Unsu is from Tomari-Te, and it means 'Defense of a Cloud' or 'Cloud Hand'.
		Unsu was never included in the Wado Kata syllabus by Otsuka Sensei; however, it is recorded that Otsuka at one time knew as many as 30 kata.
		As per his writings, quality was desired over quantity, and Otsuka felt that nine kata were enough to express the essence of Wado Ryu, with Chinto being the pinnacle of the Wado kata.

		To clarify, this is not an accusation of plagiarism.
		Were âUNSUâ and âForce the Paceâ of equal value, it would be easier to disregard the similarities and simply enjoy the quality of each.
		In fact, it reaches the point where âUNSUâ is hardly classifiable as melodic death metal and might be better off in the MTV metal market, where this sort of rock riffing has been very successful.

		U.N.S.U. United Nations Shotokan Union was formed in 2005 by Simon Williams 7th Dan for development and freedom for any Shotokan practitioner to compete on national, European and World level tournament without restriction.
		U.N.S.U. being an association purely for Competitions we do not ask a practitioner to leave one governing body to join us, we accept all Shotokan practitioners, whatever grade they are, whoever they register with, and whoever they train under.
		UNSU feels it is time to unite all practitioners Worldwide and giving everyone the independence to compete on a National, European or World level if they so choose.

		French modern thrashers LYZANXIA seemed to have gotten their fair share of accolades these past few years and a fair amount of anticipation accompanied the recently released (October 17 in the U.S.) "Unsu", the band's debut for France's Listenable Records.
		Lest anyone smell an indictment of the group coming their way, let me back up by stating that LYZANXIA's "Unsu" is a pretty good listen, even if the style becomes somewhat redundant three-fourths of the way through the album.

		Unsu is the Kata for high ranks that contains many specific aspects, which cannot be learned in other Kata.
		I was taught Unsu strictly by Nakayama Sensei and around 1957, I was able to somewhat perform Unsu (I was 3rd dan at that time).
		Unsu contained a movement of sweeping sideways with the leg, jumping and spinning in the air.

		Funakoshi brought his students to Mabuni to train and it is likely that many if not most of the dozen or so Shotokan kata not found in the master text came from Mabuni.
		Why is that all the masters claim to teach their kata unchanged but they are all so very different.
		Unsu is suppose to be one of the oldest survivng katas.

	Lyzanxia :: Unsu :: Review @ Astrofaes' Metal Domain
		While it might be not be completely accurate to call them a melodic death metal band, their music is sure to appeal to the fans of the genre and the kids that have grown sick of the run of the mill diluted metalcore signings as of late.
		Unsu serves up brutality with hooks and melody that draws you in, a winning combination.
		Among the standout tracks on Unsu are; "Path Blade," "Bled Out," and "Early Phases." Unsu is a solid, brilliant album, sure to gain them the attention that they rightfully deserve.

		At first Unsu appeared like an interesting encounter, but it quickly became apparent that it's not.
		The music is melodic and modern thrash metal in the vein of Darkane, The Arcane Order; and it even remind me a little bit of Mercenary.
		That catchy something that could have made Unsu to something special is almost not present with the exception of a few bits in "Answer Fields", and no matter how hard I try, I fail to like what Lyzanxia is doing.

	Unsu
		Unsu means 'Cloud Hands', the opening technique symbolising the parting of the clouds with the hands.
		Funakoshi Sensei's calligraphy 'Hatsuun Jin Do' (Parting the clouds, seeking the way) may well have relevance to this movement.
		The kata seems to move from urgency to serene calmness.

		If the listener is appreciative of mathematical or everything in its place metal that has been very well polished and cleaned, they are going to love Lyzanxia’s melodic approach to hardcore nu-metal.
		But whereas people criticize nu-metal for being mindless in the composition of the songs, I have to say I like quite a bit of it simply because in nu-metal’s primitiveness is still a driving passion.
		“Unsu” is, ultimately, a beautiful, refined, polished piece of cubic zirconium.

	TransformOnline : Music : Reviews : Lyzanxia "Unsu" (Listenable)
		In a nutshell, that's what Unsu is. Musically, the map was laid out in the late ‘90s and frankly, it was done better then too.
		And while the dual riffing and dual vocals of brothers David and Franck Potvin aren't lacking, the accompanying rhythm is too slow and simplistic to hold anything together.
		From the first words of "Wise Counselor," the multi-layered vocals attack the ears with a velocity and ferociousness that is rare in the melodic death scene, more typically found in thrash or faster metalcore.

		These very advanced kata are presented in careful detail, with each technique broken-down and shown in close-up from several angles.

	LYZANXIA: Unsu - CD-Review - vampster.com - Das eigenwillige Metal Online Musik Magazin im Internet
		Nach wie vor herrscht auf "Unsu" fette Riffpower, die an den Bay Area Thrash Metal angelehnt ist und mit modern angehauchten, wie auch progressiven Stoff kokettiert.
		Aber dann hat wohl einer der Brüder Spaß an hysterischem Schreigesang, der leider viel zu oft auf "Unsu" zum Einsatz kommt und mit zunehmender Spieldauer tierisch auf den Sack geht.
		Rein instrumental und produktionstechnisch ist "Unsu" als spitzenmäßig einzustufen und für progressive Thrash-Maniacs ein gefundenes Fressen, aber die Geister werden sich spätestens an den Vocals scheiden.

		"Unsu" marque bien une évolution pour Lyzanxia, mais une évolution vers un style où il ne reste plus grand chose de neuf à réaliser, et pour cause, vu le nombre de groupe s'étant engagés à la suite d'In Flames.
		La concurrence va donc être rude pour cet album, même s'il a tous les atouts nécessaires pour plaire aux fans de death thrash scandinave.

		France’s Lyzanxia have returned with Unsu, a snarling slab of thrash featuring the band’s trademark dueling vocals and some of the catchiest riffs they have ever produced.
		This time for Unsu we went to Sweden for one month and we recorded the whole album with him and his assistant Patrick [Sten].
		When you listen to an album that you have recorded two or three months later you are usually a little bit bored but with Unsu I can still listen to it everyday and I’m not bored.

	Best Karate, Vol.10: Unsu, Sochin, Nijushiho (Best Karate, 10) by Oxford University Press, USA
		As with any book of this type, though, it should be considered as a useful supplement to - not a substitute for - a live instructor.
		Providing clear, detail and comprehensive instruction, with explanation of the important point, application, and "the soul" of each kata, this is "video-like" book.
		It requires integration of varying strengths and speed, and mastery can be seen in a smooth and unbroken flow of movements.

		I know how the unsu jump should look and theortically, I understand how it should be done.
		For those of you who want to do Unsu seriously (remember the jump is just one aspect of this kata) study the Unsu of Michael Milon.
		I agree with Andre, Milon's Unsu was flawless as close to being perfect that i have seen.

		When I am approaching the jump in kata Unsu I tend to bring the back leg up to my chest and swivel on the supporting leg before I even start to jump.
		When you do this, bring both legs in and then out as you land in the unsu position.
		This way you are only practising the second half of the jump, and once you have mastered this, you can then add the first half...

	Lyzanxia - Unsu - review
		Produced by Swedish metal mind extraordinaire Fredrik Nordström, "Unsu" explodes in your ears with the clear and intense sound we are used to hearing from Swedish death / thrash metal bands.
		Despite this, Lyzanxia hail from France, a country that has had trouble gaining recognition as a metal country even though giving birth to two respectable record labels such as Osmose Productions and Listenable Records.
		If you think most Swedish bands are starting to repeat themselves I suggest that you take a look at Lyzanxia.

		The music on Unsu is more relentless, as if Lyzanxia had attended the Devin Townsend Institute of Metal.
		It might be too clean and structured for those who like their metal dirty and raw, but they’ll be missing out.
		I had been vividly anticipating both this and Into Eternity’s new album, and I think Unsu is better.
