Some Thoughts on Kata Niseishi and Goju Ryu By Stephen Hampsten The kata Niseishi, also called Nijushiho, is usually translated as “24.” I learned this kata around 1987 from my first karate instructor, Jim Knoblet, who, at the time, was teaching a Shorin Ryu-related style called Shobukan. Shobukan is a minor style taught primarily in Sasebo, Japan, near the US Naval base, which is where Jim’s teacher, Bruce Lisle, trained for 14 years.

Los Orígenes De Los Kata De Goju Ryû Shisochin
Los orígenes de los kata de Goju ryû Shisochin Dan Djurdjevic Miyagi Sensei. Shishochin bunkai Kenshinkan dôjô 2013 Shisochin comienza con tres posiciones sanchin dachi, esto, en principio, la hace semejante a los kata del Grupo H. Sin embargo, se aparta del Grupo H en casi todo lo demás: el kata es “simétrico” y contiene una alta proporción de técnicas “suaves”. Más aún, la apertura se hace ejecutando golpes en nukite. Aunque se dice que los kata del Grupo H se practicaban originalmente con las manos abiertas, es más probable que, al igual que ocurre en Uechi ryû, la técnica de nukite se ejecutara con la palma hacia abajo -apuntando ligeramente más abajo de la tetilla del atacante- no con la mano en posición vertical dirigida al plexo solar, como ocurre en Shisochin. Esto apunta a que Shisochin puede provenir de una fuente diferente a la de los kata del Grupo H y de la misma fuente que otros katas, como: Saifa, Seiyunchin, Sepai, Kururunfa. ¿Pero cuál es esa fuente? Como dije en la segunda parte de este artículo, Shisochin debía de existir en Okinawa antes de que Kanryo Higaonna viajara a China: hay un registro escrito de Seisho Aragaki ejecutando un kata llamado Chisakuin en una demostración realizada en 1867. Seisho Aragaki fue, por supuesto, el primer profesor de Kanryo Higaonna. ¿Podría haber enseñado Kanryo Higaonna el kata Chisakuin/Shisochin a Miyagi Sensei como un kata separado del programa? ¿O, quizá, Miyagi Sensei rescató formas que le enseñara su primer profesor, Ryuko Aragaki?, quién seguramente había conocido las formas de Seisho.

Kei Shin Kan Karate-Do Information Booklet KEI SHIN KAN KARATE - DO
Kei Shin Kan Karate-Do Information Booklet KEI SHIN KAN KARATE - DO Background and history Kei Shin Kan Karate-Do is a Japanese form of the martial art of Karate. It arrived in Australia in 1971 and has branches in Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland and Tasmania. The founder of Kei Shin Kan is Master Takazawa who was given a dojo by his teacher (Master Toyama) in 1958. Master Takazawa still lives in Nagano Japan. The head of Kei Shin Kan in Australia is Shihan Uchida in Sydney. The benefits of Karate There are many benefits from studying Karate, including : Learn self-defence and how to avoid dangerous situations Improve mental discipline and patience Improve strength, fitness and flexibility Meeting and socialising with a friendly group of students. It is likely to take many years for a normal person to achieve a high standard although students may progress faster depending on their dedication to training. While it is not realistic to set a particular time-frame to achieve black belt level, it is unusual to reach this level in less than 5 years. Again, the speed of progression varies with each individual. The syllabus Much emphasis is placed on learning proper basic techniques including stances, punches and blocks. These movements form the foundation of Karate practice. Sparring is introduced gradually starting with restricted sparring such as one-step sparring. As skills improve other sparring practice is introduced including three-action sparring, hands-only sparring and eventually free sparring. Safety in sparring is paramount. All sparring is strictly non-contact and protective equipment is worn also in case of accidental contact.

Sanchin kata test in Uechi-ryu - YouTube. While I am currently, at the time of this posting, only a 4th Kyu grade, and sanchin kata is generally emphasized at Dan-level grades, I find sanchin kata inspiring - its power, concentration, centeredness, and focus. Hands on hips. Don't forget the 4 speeds of Kata Training - Go Ho, Ju Ho, Seido Ho, and Go Ju Ho. Chishi Level 1 Workshop Instructional Video. Terauchi Sensei brought it on, he is a very inspirational instructor, I am amazed at his speed and control, his flexibility and his kime is owe inspiring. Step into right sanchin stance, perform kakushiken (crane beak strike – right hand come up over right ear to strike opponent on pressure point at junction of left side of opponents neck at collar bone, hand is at a 90° angle on wrist – use hip for power, then pull right hand back using an upside down u movement to have both hands at the ready, then bring back into left knee lift shin block then left foot lands in an left cat stance (10% weight on left foot 90% weight on back leg.

The Ho Ei Juku Training Manual
Goju Ryu Karate Do 剛柔流空手道宝英塾 Ho-Ei Juku Reference Manual Sensei Brian Hinchliffe 8th Dan Front Cover Photo; The Karate belts belong to Sensei Brian Hinchliffe 8th Dan founder of Ho-Ei Juku. The Wooden plaque ‘kanji’ written by Sensei Hokama Tetsuhiro 10th Dan – Okinawa The words read; ‘Karate ni Sente Nashi’ – ‘There is no first strike in Karate’. Acknowledgements Sensei Miyagi Chojun (1888-1953) This manual would not have been possible without significant contributions by so many people in my karate life, both teachers and students. Therefore, I would like firstly to thank my teacher, Meiyo Kancho Tada Heiji (8th Dan), founder of the Seishikan, based in Kyoto, for his endless support and guidance in karate since the 1980s. Sadly, he passed away in September 2013. I have been fortunate to have trained with and learnt from so many othersenior instructors in Goju Ryu and other karate schools, in Japan, the UK, the USA and around the world – and to all of them, I am forever indebted. As I began karate training in 1972, I have been able to train over the years with literally thousands of people as peers, students and teachers. When I began teaching karate in 1985, it was exciting to work with my own students and watch them evolve. Some of those early students are still training with me now and each one of them has helped in keeping me going through good times and bad, so I owe a massive thank you not just to my teachers, but also to those who have decided, whether for a short time, or longer, to train with the Ho-Ei Juku group.

Istoria Goju-Ryu Karate (Chojun Miyagi-Fondator)
Istoria Goju-ryu Karate (Chojun Miyagi-Fondator) Chojun MIYAGI (1888-1953) Cel care a fondat si formatat stilul Goju-ryu de astazi este Chojun Miyagi care a trait în anul 1888-1953, aceasta scoala încearca sa sa scoata în evidenta doua forme finete si duritate si sa le uneasca . Se lucreaza în general pe blocaje usoare si circulare urmate de contre dure si în viteza. Fondatorul Miyagi sa nascut în loc. Naba la 25 aprilie 1888, acesta începe sa faca primii pasi în karate alaturi de maestrul Kanryo Higaonna în anul 1902 la varsta de doar 9 ani,acesta este un talent înascut având o ambitie foarte mare astfel evolueaza foarte rapid. Orele de karate erau foarte dure duse pana la exces în combinatii cu exercitii de forta si alergari. Legenda spune ca la câteva antrenamente Miyagi lesina executând Sanchin- kata, atât de exigent era maestrul Kanryo Higaonna, acesta moare în 1915. In lipsa de profesor Chojun Miyagi începe sa-si caute un alt profesor, acesta pleaca în China pentru a-si finisa si complementa stiinta stilului de karate mostenit facand trei calatorii dupa care se intoarce în Okinawa unde începe cursurile de karate în orasul sau de bastina Naha . A ramas o zicala despre stilul Goju-Ryu zicandu-se ca acesta a încoltit în China, a crescut în insula Okinawa si a ajuns la maturitate în Japonia.In anul 1921 acesta este ales sa reprezinte Naha-te în fata familiei Imperiale, respectiv a Printului Hirohito si reuseste sa-l impresioneze, acest succes se repeta la 4 ani în fata Printului Chichibu.
