uchinadi Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 Hello:Well I am stylist of Shito-ryu Karate, It is known that Funakoshi Sensei when it came to the island Honshu alone knew Katas's couple: Naifanchin and Koshokun (Tekki and Kanku-Dai). When Kenwa Mabuni I come to Tokyo, Sensei Funakoshi went to train with to learn the Katas Heian since he did not know them. After sending to some of his pupils to learn with Sensei Mabuni other Katas and his your applications Bunkai. Mabuni (Shito-ryu) and Miyagui (Goju-ryu) they were the teachers who initiated the development of the formal Bunkai of the Katas that till then did not exist.Sensei Itosu is not teaching Bunkai only Kata, there existed in those days a group of exercises called Tin Chi Ki (tegumi) which they were practising together with the Katas and that was giving the tools for your brutal application in situations of self-defence.More information about this you can see in the website of Hanshi Patrick McCarthy:http://www.society.webcentral.com.au Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoyed looking at the pictures.- Killer -I have trained under McCarthy plenty of times and found him to be a fairly good instructor. He is very informative and knows more than anyone on the history of karate related subjects. He has written plenty of books, the most famous being The Bubishi - Bible of Karate. I recommend you buy that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShotokanKid Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Next time i get a giftcard from Amazon.com i 'll buy it.You have to buy this book. It's a great book. I got it as a gift and found it to be one of the best karate books I've ever read. Reasonable theory with lots of good evidence. "What we do in life, echoes in eternity.""We must all fear evil men. But there is another kind of evil which we must fear most, and that is the indifference of good men." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yasutsune Makoto Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 I just read the book a couple days ago and found the theory to be an eye opener. Even if it is wrong it proved its point well enough for me to take a second look at things I previously took for granted. I am starting to gain a deeper understanding of shotokan just by looking harder. The book was a great read, entertaining and could change the way you see things.
