SaiFightsMS Posted September 9, 2002 Posted September 9, 2002 Ananku? Starts with double down blocks to the sides then moving forward with side blocks into center punches? Shift into kokutsu dachi/shuto over head shuto strike into a center kick?
ZakariRu Posted September 9, 2002 Author Posted September 9, 2002 i dont think so the kata im thinking of has this crazy graceful wrist block thing in the begining then several steps forwaard with this crazy palm strike type thing (like a knife hand with the fingers slightly spread). very popular shito ryu tournament kata
Karateka Posted September 9, 2002 Posted September 9, 2002 That sounds like the Shi-to Ryu Jitte. "Never hit a man while he's down; kick him, its easier"Sensei Ron Bagley (My Sensei)
SaiFightsMS Posted September 10, 2002 Posted September 10, 2002 That is more what it sounds like to me too.
ZakariRu Posted September 10, 2002 Author Posted September 10, 2002 Its Called Annan just Annan or Anan. I have a couple shito ryu friends from Hawaii that compete with it. the opening movement is in shoulderwith stance where the right hand rises up, and then the left hadn goes up the same side of the body (right) as the right hand is coming down. at the end of the opening motion the hands are at a crazy palm to palm position (maybe its wrist to wrist). Dont we have any Shito-ryu guys around?(i know there are 52 kata but somebody has got to know them all!)
SaiFightsMS Posted September 11, 2002 Posted September 11, 2002 Then does the right hand go to the side in a hito strike while the left hand goes to the hip. Right arm folds across the body horizontally while the left fist shoots out in a back fist with the elbow landing on the back of the right hand. Then the arms fold over horizontally and the right foot steps out into shiko dachi while the right had performs a hito strike. Does that sound more like it?
ZakariRu Posted September 11, 2002 Author Posted September 11, 2002 kinda but not really =p theres a part in the middle of the kata where there are two front kicks forward from a kiba dachi (might be shiko)
KickChick Posted September 12, 2002 Posted September 12, 2002 I was hoping to find a link for you.... but you have the link queen clueless on this one. I found this on a german site which I had put thru translation to be: Anandai .....Chinese Kata Ryuei ryu. This Kata is common also under the name Anan. Probably this name points on an expert of Chinese boxing from Fuzhou, which admits under same name was. The official Ryuei Ryu list of katas: http://karate.ucsd.edu/terms.shtml An article on Sakumoto Sensei who is best known for his rendition of "Anan", a Ryuei-Ryu style kata that won him the JKF Kata Championship on numerous occassions http://www.kissaki.com.my/articles/jfm1.html
