  • Shoto Ryu Karate Kai Association History Rules and Grading Syllabus
    SHOTO RYU KARATE KAI ASSOCIATION HISTORY, RULES & GRADING SYLLABUS Master Vivian Nash 8th Dan FOUNDER OF SHOTO RYU KARATE KAI ASSOCIATION 1931 - 2009 Viv, as he liked to be known (outside the dojo), was born in Radstock, near Bristol, but his family settled in Plymouth when he was around five years old. BOXING Viv spent much of his life practicing and studying physical activity, and fighting arts. His mother had a theatrical background and encouraged Viv to explore the rhythm and harmony of music and dance. His father, a keen amateur boxer, taught Viv to box to a high standard. It is perhaps this positive encouragement, from a very early age that put Viv on the path to become the martial arts master and perfectionist that he certainly was. Viv was successful in the Amateur Boxing Association and during two years of National Service in the Army he became Middle-weight Battalion Champion. He also boxed in fair ground booths and often said that his boxing experience underpinned the physical side of his early karate practice. ‘I fought in many competitions, winning most of them. Later I boxed in fairground booths for £3 for three rounds; in those days, I liked to fight very much. I believe that boxing certainly helped the physical side of my karate.’ However, whilst in the army he was involved in a fire accident and was badly burned, thus ending his boxing career. While in the army he served in Suez and during his off-duty hours would spend many hours in the library, reading about many different religions.

  • Taikyoku Kata - 太極
    Taikyoku Kata - 太極 Taikyoku Kata - 太極 The name Taikyoku - 太極 refers to the Chinese philosophical concept of Taiji. Taikyoku is literally translated as ‘Great Ultime’. The word Taikyoku can also mean overview or intent – seeing the whole rather than concentrating on the individual parts, and keeping an open mind or beginner's mind. No prejudices and endless possibilities are pursued in the training. That's why a karateka should never think that, as soon as he gets better or passes to a more complex Kata, the first and most basic Kata is less important, and therefore must keep an open mind. The Taikyoku Kata were developed by Yoshitaka Funakoshi and introduced in 1930 by Gichin Funakoshi, founder of Shotokan, as a way to simplify the principles of the Pinan series. Taikyoku Kata are often introduced first, in preparation for the Pinan Kata. These northern Kata are based on the Shuri-te tradition of karate, which Sosai Masutatsu Oyama taught while exercising under Gichin Funakoshi. The respective Embusen - 演武線 or trajectory/route/road of all Taikyoku Kata is an ' I '. At each turn a block is executed, followed by a step and a punch. Back and forth in the middle there are three punches. The three Sokugi Kata were made by Mas Oyama to further develop kick skills. They have the same Embusen as the original Taikyoku Kata. Sokugi - 足技 literally means 'foot', 'technique' or 'kicking'. They were only formally introduced to the Kyokushin syllabus after the death of Mas Oyama. Mas Oyama developed Taikyoku sono Ichi, Ni, San – URA in 1980.
