granitemiller Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Yes, I agree, however it is interesting how the Okinawan parts have crept back in. My school uses Okinawan methods.

Traymond Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Yes I am extremely greatful it has crept back in. I have been part of three shotokan dojos, and two were not okinawan based, the last one was...and that was my first exposure to traditional and how my sensei says "real karate", and I loved it alot better. And im happy to know that when I get older, I can modify the movements with my age (IE...no extremely deep kiba dachi when you 90) To fear death is to limit life - Xin Sarith Azuma Phan Wuku Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Espina Posted March 29, 2009 Author Share Posted March 29, 2009 So that crept thing is like a slow transition from one movement to another? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
granitemiller Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 What I meant by '"crept" is that while Master Funakoshi made changes to the katas and so forth for the mainland Japanese, the old school Okinawan katas came back into the Shotokan schools on mainland Japan over the years.So "crept" here means "come back into". I looked up the Spanish and it said in the dictionary: deslizado but I am not sure if this is right.What you wrote "slow transition from one movement to another" is the word "creep", meaning slow movement. Crept is the past tense, and the way I used it meant that the old forms slowly came back into Shotokan.I should have used more standard English, sorry about that Espina.

Espina Posted March 30, 2009 Author Share Posted March 30, 2009 hehehehehe, don't worry, this way I learn a little more slang Oh, and for the spanish part... 'deslizado' is like glide on ice. For example "Se deslizó una hoja por debajo de la puerta" which mean "A paper sheet was thrown under the door" , Where "thrown" stands for 'deslizado'. The correct spanish term I think will be 'trasladado', wich means moved (the 'back into' part will have to be given by 'de vuelta').so 'come back into'= 'trasladado de vuelta'But now I get what you meant with crept. Thanks for the english lesson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grego Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 My sensei decided to put more focus on less Kata.So, while we might practice the taikyoku katas, our main katas are:SeisanBassaiChintokusankuWhich, of those, I only know Seisan. I'm looking forward to learing bassai though, because thats my next kata.
