    ASH’S OKINAWAN KARATE LOCATION: 610 Professional Drive, Suite 1, Bozeman, Montana 59718 PHONE: 406-994-9194 EMAIL: [email protected] WEBSITE: www.ashsokinawankarate.com INSTRUCTORS: Brian Ash – Roku dan (6th degree Black Belt) Lisa Ash – Yon dan (4th degree Black Belt) Kaitlyn Ash – San dan (3rd degree Black Belt) Karate is an individual endeavor. Each person is taught and advanced according to his/her own ability. Initially, you will learn a basic foundation of karate techniques on which to build. Fundamentals of actual street and sport karate are later incorporated into your training as well as the Isshinryu kata. All classes include stretching and calisthenics. To be effective in karate, you must be in optimum shape. This book lists the minimal testing criteria for each belt level. Your sensei will decide when you are ready for testing, even if you have met the listed criteria. The rank criteria are simply a guide for the student. Practice is very important to prepare yourself for learning and advancement. To be a true black belt, you must not rush through the kyu ranks. Take advantage of that time to practice and improve all techniques and kata. We can never stop learning or improving ourselves. The secret of martial arts success is practice. Like uniforms are required during class representing tradition and equality in students. The main objective of Isshinryu is the perfection of oneself through both physical and mental development. Ash’s Karate combines teaching Isshinryu karate with a well- rounded exercise program. MISSION STATEMENT: To instill confidence, courtesy, and respect while building mental and physical strength, self discipline, balance, focus, endurance and perseverance in students so that they may empower themselves to overcome physical and mental obstacles, build character and unify mind, body and spirit.

  • Los Orígenes De Los Kata De Goju Ryû Seiyunchin
    Los orígenes de los kata de Goju ryû Seiyunchin Dan Djurdjevic Teruo Chinen Sensei. Seiyunchin kata Kenshinkan dôjô 2013 En su libro “Okinawan Kempo”, Choki Motobu Sensei menciona a Seisan, Seiunchin y Naihanchi, como katas existentes en Okinawa mucho antes de que Kanryo Higaonna Sensei viajase a China: Escribe: “Entre los estilos, o katas, que se han practicado en Ryu Kyu desde los tiempos antiguos tenemos: Sanchin, Jo-Ju-Shi-Ho, Seisan, Seiunchin, Ippakku-Re-Hachi, Naihanchi (Ichidan, Nidan, Sandan), Passai, Chinto, Chinte, (estilo de yari -lanza- de bambú), Wanshu, Rohai y Kusanku. Y, especialmente, estos tres: Naihanchi, Passai (Dai y Sho) y Kusanku, ampliamente conocidos por muchos isleños. Como indiqué anteriormente, Ryu Kyu Kempo Karate viene originalmente de China. Sanchin, Jo-Ju-Shi-Ho, Seisan y Seiunchin se han practicado durante muchos siglos.” ¿Es el Seiyunchin de Miyagi el mismo que el de la forma original de shorin? Nunca lo sabremos con certeza. El Seiyunchin de hoy día parece tener los suficientes elementos de Naha-te como para sugerir que tiene modificaciones hechas por Miyagi Sensei. Tiene, ciertamente, un patrón equilibrado en el uso de las manos (derecha/izquierda) al igual que el Naihanchi, aunque es importante remarcar que a este respecto sigue el patrón distintivo del Grupo M, más que el usado en Naihanchi. Seiyunchin kata Es imposible determinar cuánto del “original” Seiyunchin existe en la creación de Miyagi y cuánto tiene de otras técnicas okinawenses o chinas, con las que Miyagi pudiera contar. Quizá lo único constructivo que podemos hacer es examinar otros kata que contengan elementos observados en Seiyunchin con la esperanza de que nos muestren alguna luz en cuanto a los orígenes de este kata.
