Hawkmoon Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 Kyokushin....Top man ... yes I am well aware that will come over a little biased LOL!Learned new kata, Pinan Sono Ichi. Going to take some time to get Shuto Mawashi Uke right on that...I hear that, the Sanchin verison of Shuto Mawashi Uke is much easier than the Ko Kutsu Dachi one!It will come, for what its worth, for me it in my head I would say to myselfThrust (to the knee) Pull (back to hip) Rise (over head) Chop (at my attacker) ... making that work together in one smooth transition!http://karatetest.com/kyokushinkai/7thkyu/shuto-mawashi-uke-74.htmFYI:Taken from: http://karatetest.com/index.phpFound this was good little 'reminder' for the brain when I was working towards doing my 1st kyu ... “A human life gains luster and strength only when it is polished and tempered.”Sosai Masutatsu Oyama (1923 - 1994) Founder of Kyokushin Karate.
hammer Posted September 4, 2014 Author Posted September 4, 2014 I hear that, the Sanchin verison of Shuto Mawashi Uke is much easier than the Ko Kutsu Dachi one!Had to look up the Sanchin version and I've done it in class...and it's the harder of the two IMHO. Both of them are a challenge. I've done similar blocks to the Ko Kutsu Dachi version in TKD but there are a lot of differences in the details which keep tripping me up. The fight with muscle memory continues...
