Zaine Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 Hi Zaine,The 30 Kata's are up to and including Sandan. For the breakdown you can check the list at our club site http://www.northernrivers-shukokai.com.au/training.html and select Shukokai KataI see you guys learn Pinan Nidan before Shodan. My school started doing that after awhile. Do you know the reason your school does it? Martial arts training is 30% classroom training, 70% solo training.https://www.instagram.com/nordic_karate/

NRShukokai Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 I see you guys learn Pinan Nidan before Shodan. My school started doing that after awhile. Do you know the reason your school does it?Hi Zaine,Sensei Allan considered Nidan easier to teach to new students than Shodan in respect to the stances, changes of direction, and the number of strikes and blocks in Shodan Sandan - ShukokaiHonbu - AM Shukokai Karate-Do Renmei
Zaine Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 Sensei Allan considered Nidan easier to teach to new students than Shodan in respect to the stances, changes of direction, and the number of strikes and blocks in ShodanThat's basically what my teacher got at as well. I still prefer learning Pinan Shodan first (possibly this is a biased opinion, being that I learned Shodan first), but in the end it really doesn't matter, as long as it's being taught. Martial arts training is 30% classroom training, 70% solo training.https://www.instagram.com/nordic_karate/
deckerdude Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 Interesting to see that 'Jissen Dai' Dobbersky-not heard of that Kata before-any vids of it around!?! When you say 'my creations', as in the Taikyoku Kata 1 through 3, are they YOUR additions, or 'add-on's'? ''Board's..........don't hit back'' The late and very great Bruce Lee, in the movie Enter The Dragon.
Dobbersky Posted January 28, 2012 Author Posted January 28, 2012 Interesting to see that 'Jissen Dai' Dobbersky-not heard of that Kata before-any vids of it around!?! When you say 'my creations', as in the Taikyoku Kata 1 through 3, are they YOUR additions, or 'add-on's'?Jissen Dai, this is the amalgamation of Jissen No Kata Sono Ichi and Ni. I found during the formulation of my school that the kata had a lot of duplication, which to me wasn't required as if someone practised all the kata. Duplicating techniques wasn't required. This was the same for the following kataKihon Dai - mix of Kihon No Kata Sono Ni & SanNage Dai - mix of Nage No Kata Sono San & Ni (with added techniques)Kumite Dai - mix of Kumite No Kata Sono Ni, San & YonGoshin Dai - mix of Shoshin No Kata Sono Ni & SanSome of the Ashihara Kata combinations were amended/replaced with ethos from my Traditional Martial Arts experience.The Taikyoku Kata are MY additions. I found that the First Kata, Shoshin Sho Kata (Shoshin No Kata Sono Ichi) was at times too technical to junior beginners. I then looked at a way to best present the kata more basically, but still encompass Ashihara Karate. Thus the 3 kata were createdBelow is the first Kata in a basic description - the only stance is a fighting stance!Taikyoku Shodan Kata1st Move – Left Leg forwardFront foot back, Palm Heel Block, front foot forwardBack Hand Punch to the face, turn opposite directionBunkai Attack: Back Hand Punch to the stomach2nd Move – Right Leg ForwardFront foot back, Palm Heel Block, front foot forwardBack Hand Punch to the face, turn to frontBunkai Attack: Back Hand Punch to the stomach3rd Move – Left Leg ForwardFront foot back, Palm Heel Block, front foot forwardBack Hand Punch to the face, Step ForwardBunkai Attack: Back Hand Punch to the stomach4th Move – Right leg ForwardFront foot back, Palm Heel Block, front foot forwardBack Hand Punch to the face, Step ForwardBunkai Attack: Back Hand Punch to the stomach5th Move – Left Leg ForwardFront foot back, Palm Heel Block, front foot forwardBack Hand Punch to the face, Kiai !!!!
