Dobbersky Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 All I know most of us are conversant with Naihanchi, Naihanchi/Tekki Shodan, Naihanchi/Tekki Nidan & Naihanchi/Tekki Sandan. But is anyone aware of a.y other versions?I'm on phone so have limited optionsI saw on another forum, an Okinawan Open Hand version of Naihanchi!That's correct, I personally, never thought it existed. Would anyone else like to add this version for me. Also if anyone knows of any other versions and can upload a video of the Kata it would be brilliant, thanksKen "Challenge is a Dragon with a Gift in its mouth....Tame the Dragon and the Gift is Yours....."

Lupin1 Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 That's funny. My instructor actually just posted this video on his Facebook. Here's three versions including an empty hand version all done as one continuous kata. Pretty cool--
Wastelander Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 I saw that one a couple weeks ago on my Facebook, as well, and I thought it was very cool! I also saw this version, with is the Bushi Tachimura version, uploaded a few days ago, and it is very unique: Kishimoto-Di | 2014-Present | Sensei: Ulf KarlssonShorin-Ryu/Shinkoten Karate | 2010-Present: Yondan, Renshi | Sensei: Richard Poage (RIP), Jeff Allred (RIP)Shuri-Ryu | 2006-2010: Sankyu | Sensei: Joey Johnston, Joe Walker (RIP)Judo | 2007-2010: Gokyu | Sensei: Joe Walker (RIP), Ramon Rivera (RIP), Adrian RiveraIllinois Practical Karate | International Neoclassical Karate Kobudo Society
bassaiguy Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 My favorite version is Mas Oyama's Tekki Shodan. Funny, since it is not in the Kyokushin syllabus. I can't post it now b/c I'm at work, but I'll try to put up a version later. "Honour, not honours." ~ Sir Richard Francis Burtonhttp://oronokarate.weebly.com
bushido_man96 Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 I do sensei8's version of Naifanchi from Shindokan. I don't think we did the first crossover step, though. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com
Lupin1 Posted November 16, 2012 Posted November 16, 2012 My instructor totally had us try that open hand version of Naihanchi tonight. It was interesting. A different focus and different muscles. He's been having us change our kata up a lot lately-- different angles on the punches, adding on to sequences, playing with timing, etc. I recently tried (during my own at home practice) doing all my kata starting at a 45 degree angle. That REALLY makes you think. Especially the kata that already have many different angles in them. It's fun, though.

Some include Bassai Dai, others don't.I cam see why Funikoshi Sensei spent 9 years on this kata "Challenge is a Dragon with a Gift in its mouth....Tame the Dragon and the Gift is Yours....."

ShoriKid Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 Naihanchi s a great kata/series that a lot of people want to breeze past because they appear so simple on the surface. But, they are great when you drill into them. And seeing all the variations of the kata is great too. Kisshu fushin, Oni te hotoke kokoro. A demon's hand, a saint's heart. -- Osensei Shoshin Nagamine
