  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Miyagi Chojun Sensei ˨Ǩ঱ǝȋǘ Von Niemanden Geschlagen Werden; ˨঱Ǝǘ Niemanden Schlagen; ˍǩnjȑȁǧǧǘȉȑȉ Lebe in Harmonie Ohne Streit
    Miyagi Chojun 25.04.1888 - 08.10.1953 ችၔ㐳㗅వ↢ wurde, wie Higaonna in Naha auf Okinawa am 25. April 1888 in eine aristokratische Familie hineingeboren. Seine Familie besaß 2 Schiffe und arbeitete im Import und Export Geschäft, hauptsächlich mit China, was sie zu einer der wohlhabensten Familien in Naha machte. Im Alter von 5 Jahren starb der Haupterbe seiner Familie und er wurde als Nachfolger eingesetzt. Aufgrund dieser Verantwortung, die auf ihm lastete, wurde beschlossen, daß er die Kampfkünste erlernen sollte, was er im Alter von 11 Jahren begann. Am Anfang trainierte er noch im Dojo von Ryuko Aragaki. Mit 14 Jahren traf er zum ersten mal auf Kanryo Higaonna . Higaonna akzeptierte ihn als Schüler, nachdem Miyagi ihm seine Dienstbereitschaft bewiesen hatte. Es wird berichtet, daß Miyagi in den ersten Trainingsmonaten ausschließlich Formen des Tai-Sabaki erlernte (Tai- Sabaki sind Übungen zur Versetzung des Schwerpunktes beim Ausweichen und Vorgehen, es wird auch häufig als "Fußarbeit" bezeichnet). Danach ging sein Trainingsprogramm zur Sanchin Kata über, die er die nächsten 3 bis 4 Jahren übte. Wie bei Higaonna üblich, war das Training äußerst hart. Eine Annekdote erzählt, dass er manchmal bis zur Bewusstlosigkeit die Sanchin Kata geübt haben soll, so hoch müssen sie Anforderungen Higaonnas gewesen sein. Auf diese Weise trainierte Miyagi für 13 Jahre, bis zum Tod von Higaonna und wurde so zu einem überragenden Karateka. Durch seine Herkunft war Miyagi in der Lage, ohne Probleme Reisen zu unternehmen, um die Herkunft des Naha-Te Higaonnas zu erforschen. Noch im Jahr 1916 reiste er nach China in die Provinz Foochow, wo das alte Dojo von Ryu Ryuko, bei dem Higaonna lange trainiert hatte, lag.
