Isshin-Ryu bo katas

[isshinryu5toforever]

I was wondering if anyone on here knew where I could get free clips for Shi Shi No Kon No dai and Chatan Yara No Said. That is, besides the grainy 1966 videos of Tatsuo Shimabuku. I have those. This is more of a refresher for me than an actual learning tool. I remember the first half of each kata, but the second half is a little sketchy. Sometimes Shimabuku's techniques are hard to follow because they are abreviated for the film.

If google or any other search engine doesn't help you I suggest asking an Isshen-Ryu person to record one for you

I have a video of Master Uezu performing them. However, I am not able to download to the net. I will try to find a video of it on the web. It may take some time.

thank you very much

I have been looking and I keep coming up empty on an online video. I do know that if you go to Century's website that they have Isshin-ryu videos for 10 dollars. This is super cheap for a Panther Productions video.

The problem is that I need these mainly for a refresher. I already learned most of them. I figured out the rest of Shi Shi No Kun based on the extremely old grainy 66 videos which was quite difficult, but I don't know if I can do that with Chatan Yara No Sai. I guess I'll have to see.

"http://www.bestinmartialarts.com/images/shishi.mov" - 2.5Mb - online video of Shi Shi No Kon no Dai (I am not sure of the quality, I refuse to install quicktime, so I can't play it on my computer).

 

As far as the second kata, I'm finding "Chatan Yara No Sai" for the sai kata, and "Chatan Yara No Kon" for the bo kata. Please specify which one you're looking for so I can attempt to help you further. I would assume that you're looking for Chatan Yara No Kon since this message is entitled Isshin-Ryu bo kata. I will try to offer any assistance I can.

I apologize, I should have read further to see that you actually meant the sai kata.

 

Here's what I've found.

 

http://www.ironcrane.com/assets/multimedia/saichb.WMV - 1.3Mb - Online video, poor quailty, but all moves are distinguishable if you are just using as a refresher. Personally, it's not the best performance of a sai kata that I've ever seen, and the moves involved are not very complicated, but it is a fairly long kata. If you need any further assistance, please feel free to contact me or just post again.

Thank you, I have a mac so quicktime is already installed. The video is good quality, a bit small in window size, but you can clearly see everything. Comparatively I would have to say that the bo kata he performed is more power based and choppy than the one that I have seen in Shimabuku's videos. I have been able to remember all of Shi Shi No Kun No Dai from the video, so I will confer with my sensei when I make a trip home this summer. I think the length of both Shi Shi No Kun no Dai and Chatan Yara No Sai are what make them difficult. The Bo kata does get a little complicated in places with hand switches, but other than that it is fairly easy to learn.
