Thank you for sharing these. I remember on your old blog years ago you shared a bunch of these videos. Are you willing to post any of the Fukuchi lineage kata performances from the memorial?

Actually, as far as I know, Hiroshi Akamine sensei did not learn karate directly from his father, Eisuke Akamine, but from Hiroshi Gushiken sensei. For this reason, Akamine sensei does not currently call his karate "Funakoshi Ryu" or "Funakoshi Shorinryu" but as Mukenkai Shorinryu. Mukenkai has important influences from Kyudokan. In this video, it is likely that Akamine sensei still performed the kata with Funakoshi ryu influences because he uses sokuto geri, while currently in Mukenkai, the Chinto kata is struck with maegeri, adopting a hip frontal position before the kick. Other Okinawan groups do continue using Funakoshi Ryu (or F. shorinryu) to name their style. However, it should be noted that the Funakoshi Ryu school, in my opinion, does not represent the karate of Funakoshi sensei or Mabuni sensei, but rather the body dynamics correspond to Shorin ryu, although it retains some kata that seem to have been imported from mainland Japan (as her Wanshu version, for example). Apparently, Shinken Taira sensei named his karate Funakoshi ryu in honour of his first teacher. I want to state that I am not an authority on karate, just an amateur.

Very well done. Is the off center fist a karate thing? To me it was always important to put every punch center.

Thanks for the comment. I am assuming you are referring to the opening posture? It's not a Karate thing per se, more of a Goju-ryu Karate thing.

That stomp from the Kanyu version of Seisan looks very similar to the unsu kata stomp sequence. Was unsu ever a kata practiced in Kumi village? Because it’s only really present within the Shuri lineage systems
@vancouverkarate Жыл бұрын
Supposedly Unsu came from Aragaki Seisho who was prominent in Kume village. So perhaps there is a connection via Matsuyama Park.

@@vancouverkarate thank you for the reply, I read in various sources that Aragaki Seishos combative principles and katas can be found in a number of the systems that are considered Naha based. But I found it strange that Unsu, Sochin and a few others weren’t present.
@lucasperon-queiroz6294 Жыл бұрын
I once read a theory that Arakaki katas were developed by him after he moved away from Naha. That would explain how all their techniques are clearly connected and rooted in Naha-te, but no Naha-te system has those kata. (Niseishi, which is usually considered an Arakaki-te, though, is present in Ryuei-ryu, and since it’s the first kata on both Ryuei and Arakaki, it makes some sense)
