JimmyNewton Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 i have seen nihanchi sandan's first move is a step intoa right forward stance, left hand upper block, then rise up to the middle block. i have also seen this move omitted. anyone know what i'm talking about?

Shorin Ryuu Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 Well, the way it's done is slightly different. For Naihanchi Sandan, the first move is into a naname zenkutsu with a "left middle block" and then you shift into a naihanchi dachi with a "double block" (right hand middle block, left hand down block). Of course, they're not actually blocks, but just to use common terminology... If this sequence was omitted, then it wasn't being done properly. There is such a thing as variation in how things are done and then leaving out moves entirely. Before nit-pickers and argumentative types (like me) chime in, he's in the same system and organization I am. What's more, we trace our lineage through Chibana Chosin and Itosu (Itosu being the one who made this form), so there is less room for customization in that respect.

Shorin Ryuu Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 Interesting. The method of stepping (apart from other things) is quite different from the way we do it. Martial Arts Blog:http://bujutsublogger.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shorin Ryuu Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 No, I do not, sorry. As I mentioned before, we are in a naihanchi dachi (the distance in between the feet is shoulder width or slightly more apart) rather than a kiba dachi. When we step over into it, rather than bringing the knee high and dropping down, we keep the legs low the entire time, relying on a shift in body structure to move quickly. The low foot movement also emphasizes the grappling nature of this kata, in my opinion. There's actually much more to it than that, but as a brief overview, that's the difference in stepping.
