Core Kata


Sho-ju

Recommended Posts

wow, that's very ethical. I don't think I like this kata, therefore I'm going to throw it out, make up one of my own and call it the same thing." Hmm. A Westerner would get slaughtered for even suggesting such a thing.

A block is a strike is a lock is a throw.

I'm not trying to discredit the Shotokan version of Sochin, which is one of my favourite kata to practice. I actually like it better than the Shito Ryu original. Not sure what that says about me as a MA. :)

This is a bit of a dumb question, but is Rohai called by any other names? I know that some kata have different names depending on style, but are still basically the same kata.

Rohai exists in at least four versions (See Sells, Unante: Secrets of Okinawan Karate (2d Ed.), (Hollywood, CA: Hawley Publications), 266-267.). The Shotokan version, which seems to be based on Rohai Yondan is called Meikyo.

 

Most styles practice variations of Rohai Shodan. Wado does Rohai Nidan.
