Anyone here does Shito Ryu?

[Coco]

Im a shito ryu yellow belt and ive been training for about 3-4 months so far, but i feel what im doing is way too easy, can i also have many questions i cant ask my sensei because hes too busy, so i was wondering if any of you does this style and is willing to help me on my katas/techniques/etc. Thanks.

 

my email/msn is Misterymen999@hotmail.com, add me/email me if youre willing to help, ty again!

I do shukokai/shito ryu. I think shukokai is a branch of shito ryu though, but maybe i can be of some assistance. I'm a brown belt so i can maybe help some.

 

Ask away.

[Coco]

ok, ive noticed theres alot of difference between shito ryu and other karate styles, for example in my school, we go with stripes, like:

 

White

 

Yellow

 

Yellow with orange stripe

 

orange

 

purple

 

green

 

green with black stripe

 

blue

 

blue with brown stripe

 

brown

 

brown with black tripe

 

black.

 

Also, my first kata was called junino kata, and i cant find anyone that had to do it, did you have to?? and how long will it take till black belt?

Hi,

 

There are many versions of Shitoryu ... and the katas also. Mabuni Sensei had many fine students who developed their own versions of Shitoryu and those instructors had students who have developed it further.

 

Tani-ha and Hyashi-ha are probably the most well known versions of Shitoryu, while Kimura further developed Tani-ha Shitoryu which is commonly called Shukokai. Shukokai isn't really a style in itself - it was the name of Tani's school which means "way for all".

 

I've been teaching and practicing Shitoryu for over 15 years, but I'm not familiar with the name of the kata you asked about. Perhaps we call it something else. What organization do you belong to?

 

Anyhow here is a list of the W.K.F recognized Shitoryu kata as per the W.K.F rules which can be downloaded from http://www.worldkarate.net.

Hi. I do Shito-ryu. If you need to know anything about that style, just ask, I'll try to help.

[Coco]

did you have to do junino kata??

[Ises]

Hi there. We practice Chito Ryu in my dojo and I'm really surprised at the difference in katas we practice in comparason to yours. I know style vary quite a bit but I really hadn't realized they do so much.

 

Our first kata is called "27 movements" then ZenShin Kotia (I have no idea how to spell this one), Kata Niean, Hein Niean, Takiakesundan and Nesansisho so far. Pardon my spelling though! These are the katas I'm working on for my orange belt plus we do juijitsu as well.

I have heard of it...but my knowledge pretty much ends there...I just heard it or saw it before in my MA travels.

usually when i fight my brother in real life i leg kick him and elbow him right in the chest.anyways, i dont think the sensei will put me against anyone, since im the tallest and heaviest in the class, and he dosnt tell me but i think hes afraid of putting other ppl against me because they might get hurt,that or hes sfraid of putting my BROTHER against someone else, either way i think im never gonna learn
