What Kata do you Know?

[Shokei Marcsui]

Very cool, my girlfriend is from Atlanta and i've spent quite some time there. Very nice place but what's up with all of the stoplights?

I see now what shudokan is. It seems similiar to Goju-ryu.

[daizyblackbelt]

there are some similarties between goju and shudokan...However, it would more aptly be compared to shito-ryu but with more circular motions.

Kanken Toyama was a student of Anko Itosu (who taught Shito-ryu/Shuri-te) and the only other student of Itosu's to receive the title of Shihanshi (protege), the other being Gichin Funakoshi. Because of this, much of what we do is based in that style, but with differences and variations.

Although, we do *ahem* "steal" a few things from other styles (such as Goju...) and integrate them into the curriculum/style.

I'm currently learning Kanku Sho and Jin. I say learning, I've been shown the moves, and have them memorised, but I'm still to really understand them.

[armanox]

first i thought your style is a mixed of Shuri and Naha-te but , obviously your Seisan kata is a Shuri-te, although there sames to be a missing part toward the end( Seisan is so old that there are many different versions),what i don't understand is Tensho among all of these Shuri-te katas.

thanks for the upload, if you got a chance let me see your Kihon #5,Matsunura Passai, Kusanku dai and Tensho.

Have the list for the school(open handed only):

Kihon I-V

Naihanchin I-III

Seisan

Pinan I-V

Passai sho(Itosu), dai(Matsumura), and kopassai sho

Kusanku sho and dai

Chinto

Gojushiho

Jion

Unshu

Nakanishi no kata

Tensho

Tensho is a Goju-Ryu kata. Miyagi Sensei is responsible for adding it. Sensei also said that the open handed kata have expanded since this list, but this is the "official" list that I was given, the things about ten years old.

I don't know about stoplights but we certainly have an overwhelming abundance of Peachtree streets. Very confusing for the poor Yankees...

Glad you enjoyed it. I enjoy learning about Goju-ryu myself.

With respect,

[Shokei Marcsui]

Yeah especially peachtree because she resides in the buckhead area. My goodness you take the wrong turn on a friday or saturday night and BAM it could take you an hour to get home because of traffic (a little texas tall tale ad lib)

Anyways good luck with training and maybe i'll stop by your dojo on my way to fellini's *only on diet cheat day* when i'm in atlanta.
