While watching Sanchin on Youtube, I came accross this video
The funny things is that there are > 1 person saying that Sanchin's Hard style is harmful tho the practitioner's health, that many Naha-te artists died young.
So I decided to do a little research. Anyone having a little knowledge of Sanchin is welcome to twit here:)

Hello.
Sorry for not coming here for a while. I am now learning Goju-Ryu from one of the students of Morio Higaonna. Quite lucky for me to find him around my house.
There are two things new for me, regarding this thread here:
1) I do feel me healthier, being able to focus more in my programming job.
2) Now, I could see that claiming that "I have 6 months in my belt" is somewhat vague, because
- Incorrect: I see how formless and weak I am while performing the easiest Kata of Goju Ryu (Gekisai Dai Ichi)
- Correct: my reaction is good in freestyle fighting with other Goju-Ryu guys.

Yes, the Kata's shown in your link are very extremely difficult for someone with only 6 months under their belt. Each and every Kata shown on your link are black belt level, as a matter of fact, the Kata Unsu, shown several times in your link, is usually reserved for 4th degree black belts, and this rank CAN, but not exactly always, span a time of 10 years minimum of CONSTANT training under a credible and certified instructor of a minimum dan ranking of 6th degree black belt.
6 months of training Kata should be doing Heian/Pinan Shodan at best...
No, Heian Kata is too simple, and would make me bored if I would do that every morning. What I am doing now every morning is like at grade 4, if Usun is at grade 10, and Heian is grade 1.

Thank you all for the good comments.
I'll be back and update if I find an instructor (for a real lesson), or something interesting in my copying of a Kata
.By the way, since you mentioned that the hip is so important, I remember there's a Vietnamese instructor who does focus on the hip here:
But, this is so smooth that doesn't burn enough my energy.

Something like this ???
Is this too difficult / not recommended for a novice like me? I've got no official martial art in my life, though I have been loving it since 20 years. Thus, my level is like some one with the training of 6 months.

Some more information about my question here:
- I know the kata I am doing, from a book I read when I was a young boy, so I don't know its name.
- I don't have a preference to the style of the Kata I am asking. Although one which strong and fast movement would be nice.
- I don't want to make my cloths dirty on rainy days when I practice, so the Kata which requires a lying/rolling on the ground is not ideal for me.
Many thanks

Dear members,
I'm an hyperactive man: everyday if I don't do round 20 minutes of sport, then I cannot focus on doing my job as a programmer.
Recently, I've found out that practicing a Kata every morning greatly helps to release my too-much energy, which helps me to focus very well at work. The Kata also helps to stream blood to my head, which is also helpful to my job (which require a great deal of brain health).
So, the question is: do you know any
- Method
- Books or DVD
so that I could learn some more Kata, to practice each morning?
Many thanks to you

Lifespans of the Masters of Shuri-te (80.8) vs Naha-te (74)
in Karate
Posted
From this site: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Okinawan_martial_arts, I googled and read about the lifespans of 12 biggest names in Shuri-te and 12 biggest names in Naha-te (
Gōjū-ryū and Tōon-ryū). On average, Shuri-te artists died at the age of 80.4, and Naha-te artists died at 74 y.o. However, one difference is that most of the life time of Shuri-te artists don't include the mal-nutrited Japan's post-war period.
Prominent names in Shuri-te (12 names, averaged 80.8 y.o)
Kanga Sakugawa (1733 - 1815, died at 82)
Matsumura Sōkon (inexact DOB/DOD, averaged longevity of 90)
