I perfer the Toyo gis good snap and weight they are also very bright white.

thanks for the reply. I am looking for the ho that will mean junior or probationary black belt ie shodan ho.

Thanks I will try and order it . I ordered some of Shihan Demura's videos and they seem to be on back order for some reason.

I was wondering if anyone knows of any tapes that may have some of these kata on them . I have the Matayoshi tape wiht tsuken akucho no eiku on it . However I have had problems finding authinic kata on tapes.

Oh yes Shito ryu we have that stance in most of the kata .

I really love the Toyo Gi's however i recently got a Anshin custome gi and really like it just wihs it was a little heaver.

Hello everyone I am trying to find the kanji for junior for a shodan ho . So I guess I really jsut need the ho part I have the kanji for shodan. Thanks in advance.

I believe you are talking about the shito ryu version of Unshu. Which is where the modern Shotokan version comes from it really isent shorter it is done on a straight line and instead of the big jump trun . You do a cresent kick into a spin around much like in rohai. it is really a nice kata you see much of the chinese influence in it.

Myself I perfer the Shito ryu version of unshu it makes alot more sence to me there are no fancy jump spin turns and the bunkai makes more sence to me. However the kata I will run almost everytime I work out are Shisochin and Nipaipo. I will jsut get lost in running these kata. I also really like Kyan Chinto.

There are many different branches of Shito ryu . However if you are refering to Seito shito ryu headed by Kenzo Mabuni and Shito kai headed by Kenei Mabuni . They are both the sons of Shito ryu founder Kenwa Mabuni. Very simaleer wiht only slight differences in the kata much the same as all the other branches. here are few sites that may help. https://www.shitokai.com https://www.martialsource.com

The shotokan and Shito ryu versions of Sochin really do look like 2 different kata with the execption of the very last move. the shito ryu version is done with 3 cat stances and 3 reverse punches moving foward. then turn and 3 more reverse punches. I dont know of any sites where this kata might be posted sorry.

That would be great. here are the last names that I need translated. Wilmoth, Jones, Smallwood, Henson. I am indebted to you I am still trying to work on my Shodo and name translation is not comeing easy. thank you for your time. Respectfully, Ron Davis

Hello everyone, I am looking for a place where I can get an english last name translated in to japanese katakana. I have found there first names but am unalbe to locate a site taht will do last names. Thanks in advance

Yes I agree and I am sure the head judge will . However it is jsut one guy who really likes to creat drama taht is insisting on this . this guy has me on the verge of leaving this current organization. I mean it is hard to change something tha you have been doing for over 20 years. And I mean come one a high block is a high block.
