ronryu Posted February 12, 2002 Posted February 12, 2002 Well yes i know thsi is an Okinawan kata and some people may wonder since im a shodan why im aksing aobut it. Well im a Shi-to ryu styylist and i love researcing kata. Thsi seems to be a very rare kata and a very high kata . My sensei who has been studing around 30 years jsut learned Hakucho . and does not know this one yet I was jsut wondering if any of the great minds here might have some information on this awsome kata I have only seen a very few people run this kata.

AnonymousOne Posted February 12, 2002 Posted February 12, 2002 I havent heard of that Kata, mind you I am in a derivitive of Shotokan but also know all the Gojuryu Kata. Does it go by another name? I was also taught a Kata called Arasu Yosai by an old Uncle of mine when I was in Okinawa, and no one seems to know this one either. I think many Okinawan families kept some ancient Kata secret 7th Dan ChidokaiA true combat warrior has to be hard as nails in mind, body and soul. Warriors are action takers and not action fakers.

YODA Posted February 13, 2002 Posted February 13, 2002 Yo AnonymouseOne What's your favourite Goju Kata? I used to realy enjoy Seiyunchin - Gave the legs a real killer workout. Mind you, my old Sensei did make me do it for 2 years before he let me move on to the next one (Shisochin).

ronryu Posted February 13, 2002 Author Posted February 13, 2002 Hakutsuri is a shuri (shorin ryu ) kata . It is really long proably the longest i have ever seen lots of crain type movement s hence the name i guess huh . I also like seiuchin and shisochin both are really good kata seiuchin really pulls the energy out of you .

YODA Posted February 13, 2002 Posted February 13, 2002 Speaking of the length of Kata etc - what is the longest in your art. In Doce Pares Eskrima our longest form, using & stick & a dagger, has over 1500 strikes & takes about 7 minutes if done at a fast pace.
