bushido_man96 Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Very nice form, very graceful. Quite soft, compared to the forms that I do. I would love to see the applications of all the hand techniques. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you ever get a chance watch George Alexander perfomr Hakutsuru Kata.Hakutsuru is one amazing kata, I'll try to find a link to a performance.

P.A.L Posted August 31, 2006 Author Share Posted August 31, 2006 (edited) Very nice form, very graceful. Quite soft, compared to the forms that I do. I would love to see the applications of all the hand techniques.most of white crane is about A.Evading the first strikeB.Hitting eye or throat ( sometimes a pressure point)C.killing body in many cases the same blocking hand (front hand) does the strike too, and if back hand does the blocking then front hand fingers hit the eyes at the same time.here is Matayoshi sensei doing a crane(could be snak or Mantis)? kata and a Monkey form Edited September 2, 2006 by P.A.L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Fisher Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 That one is very interesting also. Brandon FisherSeijitsu Shin Do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiffy Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Interesting to watch, but I have to admit that I don't really understand. Particularly the bit about putting the arm behined the back, what's the idea there?? The mind is like a parachute, it only works when it's open.
