Shudokan Kata

[Club quotNAHAquot K]

Does anyone have videos for the fallowing kata: soshin, kakoshin, and/or choshin

[Club quotNAHAquot K]

I found these videos on Youtube.com:

Is this the Shudokan version of Shoshin or is this a different kata?

I train under Shihan Mack in Yakima. I can confirm this is NOT the Sochin that we do as part of the family, Sochin, Kakuchin, Chochin. We call this kata Aragaki Sochin.

There is no shortage of forms on youtube.

You MUST make sure that the performer has a similar style to your specific school and is qualified to show the correct form.

I train Goju Ryu. There is a lot of variation. My teacher likes to emphasize the explosive power of the GO and the flowing nature of the JU. its beautiful and there are plenty of practitioners who train that way.

BUT there are karateka, prominent ones that BLAST through everything, its all GO GO GO.

Make sure what you see on youtube looks like what your instructor teaches and if its different - always side with your instructor

Solid post!!

One watching YouTube and the like, can tell if said person on said video is an instructor or not, and if said instructor is good at teaching. Not all BB can teach. I'm not saying that all videos are made for the purposes of teaching/learning. Most videos, imho, are more of a reference to some, and some just for fun.
