deshi Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 soshin (so-SHEEN) is the first in a line of shudokan katas which are:-soshin-kakoshin-choshin.What would the translations be for each? ThanksI have learned the kanji for each, but since my mother tongue is neitherJapanese nor English, I can only try to hint at a translation:"shin" is written in all three cases with the character also pronounced as"kokoro", meaning "heart/mind""so" is the character which the online Kanji dictionary translates as "principle"or "prime (number)", I understand it also as "essential, without any additions",so maybe soshin = essential mind"kaku" (not kako) means to wake up, like in "alarm clock"so maybe kakushin = awake(ned) mind"cho" is written like in "to clear, to become transparent"so maybe choshin = clear/pure heart/mindthe idea is that of a lake without ripplings so that you can seethrough to the groundI have been taught the kanji by my hanshi, but possible errors in the attempts at translation are mineI hope this helps.Best regards to all readers (this is my first post in this forum).deshi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to have you. Thank you. I kinda get the Shin part. Soshin could translate to Complete Heart (So can mean complete or all. Although, I don't know for sure. So can mean many things. I guess a Shudokan specialist would need to answer this one to be sure.Thanks "Don't tell me the sky's the limit because I have seen footprints on the moon!" -- Paul Brandt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sojiro47 Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 (edited) That's good to hear, I'm going to ask my friend about it but she seemd pretty adamant about a pinan roku-jyu.I train under Shihan Morris Mack, and I will second the fact that there are only 5 pinans. Shudokan only has 5. Edited September 24, 2006 by Sojiro47 "Karate isn't being able to fight, but knowing when to." Shihon Morris Mack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sojiro47 Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 (edited) I'm just wondering, but how many of you out there do a Kata called Nana Ju Shi?

daizyblackbelt Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 aaaaaah, nana ju shi!I learned that one up in yakima from shihan mack and one of his sons. I think it was Marlin?very similar in many ways to gojushiho, but much different also. i wish i could remember it, but i only picked it up very briefly.

Sojiro47 Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Yeah, I was at that seminar. Sensei Marlin, Sensei Toby and Shihon Mack taught it. I was Ichi Kyu when I learned it. I was wondering because I was at one of our tests when some of the participants used it as a test Kata, so I wanted to see how many people here know it.
