ShawnJ Posted February 15, 2010 Author Share Posted February 15, 2010 Thanks a lot you guys.Yes, Wankan is the first kata you learn after you reach Sho-Dan in my school - I practice Shorin-Ryu Karate USA.There is another Shorin-Ryu school around here that actually requires Wankan in order to test for Sho-Dan. In my school, you need Ananku, then you learn Wankan as well as Naihanchi Sandan after you reach Sho-Dan.Shorin-Ryu Karate USA is pretty much that same as Matsubayashi Ryu...only slightly different. lolI get confused with all the styles/schools.The name of our style is really Ueshiro Shorin-Ryu which was brought to the US in 1962 by Ansei Ueshiro. However, my school split from the parent organization several years ago and took on it's own style name - Shorin-Ryu Karate USA Under the Direction of Grand Master Ansei Ueshiro. Or SRKUSAUDGMAU for short. lol Shodan in Shorin-Ryu USA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blade96 Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 again, what everyone else said. Some people regard discipline as a chore. For me it is a kind of order that sets me free to fly.You don't have to blow out someone else's candle in order to let your own flame shine.
