Kata Gisen Sho?

[Shorin Ryuu]

IF it was actually Gojushiho Sho, I am remionded of the many mispronunciations heard in american karate:

 

 

 

Those are always very humurous. As someone who is learning Japanese, it is even more so.

 

There's only one gojushiho though, but i can see where gojushiho would sound like gisen sho.

You know what's really funny...I learn Shotokan from a Scottish Sensei that was once under Enoda(?) in the UK. My Japanese has a Scottish flavor.

A direct quote from Okazaki Sensei at my Sandan grading:

 

"Your Japanese reminds me of a Japanese person imitating how poorly an American speaks Japanese."

Although there is only one version of gojushiho in shorin ryu in shotokan there are two general versions of Gojushiho: Gojushiho Sho and Gojushiho Dai. Gojushiho Dai is the original version, while Gojushiho Sho was introduced by Yasutsume Itosu.

It's not Gojushiho it is a different kata. A home made one at that...

Cool, I didn't know that.
