knowledgetree Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 I am seeking Sensei who are willing to exchange Okinawan style Karate kata. "Persistence outweighs natural ability.""If we were interested in using brute force alone it would not be karate."
Drithen Posted November 4, 2005 Posted November 4, 2005 How about a Heian Nidan "Whatever you do, do from the heart, as for the Lord and not for others. -Colossians 3:23
knowledgetree Posted November 4, 2005 Author Posted November 4, 2005 I appreciate the desire to share a kata from the foundation styles.Here is the list of kata I have available for exchange. I have a preference for traditional/instructional rather than tournament kata. Kihon Kata Ichi Kihon Kata Ichi Gyaku Zuki Kihon Kata Ni Kihon Kata Ni Gyaku Zuki Kihon Kata San Kihon Kata San Gyaku Zuki Kihon Kata Shi Kihon Kata Shi Gyaku Zuki Kihon Kata Go Kihon Kata Go Gyaku Zuki Pinan Shodan Pinan Nidan Pinan Sandan Pinan Yondan Pinan Godan Hangetsu Heian Shodan Heian Nidan Heian Sandan Heian Yondan Heian Godan Aoyagi Annanko Empi Bassai Dai Bassai-Sho Happo Sho Bassai Dai Bassai Sho Chinte Jitte Kosokun Dai Kosokun Sho Matsukaze Rohai Shodan Rohai Nidan Juroku Penpo Kenpaku Kensho Kenshu Nijushiho Shiho Kosokun Shinpa Shinsei Sanchin Seienchin Seipai Seisan Tensho "Persistence outweighs natural ability.""If we were interested in using brute force alone it would not be karate."
JimmyNewton Posted November 4, 2005 Posted November 4, 2005 what do you mean by "exchange"videos? bunkai? history info? "The wise and successsful will always be met with violent opposition by mediocre minds."
AndrewGreen Posted November 4, 2005 Posted November 4, 2005 I see some non-Okinawan kata in that list But yes, define "exchange"...? Andrew Greenhttp://innovativema.ca - All the top martial arts news!
knowledgetree Posted November 4, 2005 Author Posted November 4, 2005 I teach you a kata, you teach me a kata. "Persistence outweighs natural ability.""If we were interested in using brute force alone it would not be karate."
Sauzin Posted November 4, 2005 Posted November 4, 2005 So I'm here in Boise, ID. And if you would like to visit, I'd be happy to teach you any kata I know for Sepai. I'm a 3rd dan in Okinawan Kenpo & Kobudo.Here's the kata I know that are not on you're list:Naihanchi ShodanNaihanchi NidanNaihanchi SandanWansuNiseishiSunsuGojushiho-choChintoKorugojushioKusanku daiSuperempeiHakusuruYanarshosho (Yang style 24 movement)And as far as weapons go well I know about 40 different weapon kata involving everything from the bo to the jian. Okinawan Kenpo is very closely related to Shorinryu. There are a few exceptions like Superempei (Goju) or Sunsu (Isshinryu) that were added by my sensei, Dean Stephens. The only two things that stand between an effective art and one that isn't are a tradition to draw knowledge from and the mind to practice it.
kurome Posted November 6, 2005 Posted November 6, 2005 Kusanku was on his list Sauzin, Kosokun is another name for it, just like Kanku and Kushanku. "You all come from different instructors, so as I look around the room I may see many different ways of preforming this kata, however, if you are turning left and I turn right, we have a problem." -Renshi Thomas Apsokardu (Godan, Okinawa Kenpo Karate Kobudo Koryu Kan)Matthew Sullivan
Sauzin Posted November 6, 2005 Posted November 6, 2005 Oh, must have missed it The only two things that stand between an effective art and one that isn't are a tradition to draw knowledge from and the mind to practice it.
