Chibana Kusanku

[karatekaBR86]

What is the point in throwing yourself on the ground in the Chibana version of the shuri-te kata, Kusanku?

[P.A.L]

is chibana no kusanku same as kusanku dai of shorinkan(kobayashi)?

[Jussi Häkkinen]

Practically yes. The turn/jump to the ground is similar in pretty much every Kusanku. Usually the bunkai is also pretty similar.

 

My advice to the original question still would be: Ask your sensei. It's pretty much useless to ask applications from the internet - after all, if one doesn't get them from own sensei, he must train karate in a wrong place to begin with. No advice from the internet will ever help around that.

Unless his teacher pulled a "what do you think?" and he's just too lazy to actually think

 

karatekaBR86, tell us what you think it might be, and maybe we can have a discussion instead of a Q&A.

i dont know this kata, but my guess could be a break fall.

 

there are an emense amount of possibilitys for each move in a kata, basically if it works, it right.

[karatekaBR86]

i haven't learned it form teacher, just saw it in a book, and it looked stupid

[tommarker]

A LOT of stuff in karate looks stupid. Think about it...

Remeber some moves in the Kata are not showing what you are doing but rather what you are making the other do.
