The late Master Kanazawa included this Sho version in his book on Shotokan Katas. He said that the basis of this kata was an older version of Chinto that was performed in a diagonal embusen as opposed to the official JKA (Shotokan) Gangkaku which is performed in a straight line. I am a JKA practitioner of 52 years and I had been learning and investigating this kata for several years now. I watch this particular video and his son's performance of it for reference. Thanks for the post. OS!

Если буквально переводить по иероглифам Восточных Видов Единоборств /Боевых Искусств/ Ассоциация. ) "Будо-кай", это тоже надо перевести на русский. А так, Ассоциация Восточных Видов Единоборств.

Seipai means 18, it’s another one of the kata whose name is just a number (13, 18, 24, 28, 36, 54, 108)

значить плохо занимался раз пропустил.

если хорошо занимался и много не то что ударить даже глазом моргнуть не успеют.а для этого надо заниматся всю жизнь. и правильно и упорно

Typical Shotokan??? fuck u bitch funakoshi would send his senior instructor nakayama masatoshi, isao obata to manubi sensei and he would teach them kata that were not included in funakoshi syllabus, these kata were rohai(meikyo,wankan,chinte,unsu,sochin,nijushiho(niseishi)gojushiho,jiin,and bassai sho

Gankaku-sho is a modification of the version of Chinto from Matsubayashi-Ryu. It's not "ruined;" the version of Chinto that it draws from is older than the "Gankaku" that Shotokan has now. Why? Because modern Shotokan's main version of Gankaku is *also* a modified kata--altered from the other Shorin-Ryu version of Chinto.

When you have nothing positive nor nice to say, then do not say it. Karate Do starts and ends with respect.

@@HozukiHangetsu If the kata came directly from Matsubayashi-ryu, the body dynamics and tye principle of the movements have been lost in Gankaku Sho which is why I said it is ruined. Even the normal Gankaku that we see today has also been changed in the same sense from how Gichin Funakoshi did. Shotokan Gankaku/Chinto was most likely created by Itosu based on Tomari Chinto. By the way, when Funakoshi first introduced Chinto, later renamed as Gankaku, Shorin-ryu was not in existance yet.

@@aito9773 I was also wrong for other reasons, but I stand by the conviction that Kanazawa branching out to take in principles of Taijiquan and Matsubayashi-ryu was nothing but a good thing.

That's a little stiff dude..are you a karate student or sensei?? Funakoshi sensei adapted okinawan karate for shotokan. Everything transcends time and evolves on .kanazawa san was a foremost instructor for the JKA along with my late godfather Enoeda san. Nothing is ruined by continuing practice.. the origins of the Chinese quan are the base of all eventual karate kata ...things just evolve

funakoshi would send his senior instructor nakayama masatoshi, isao obata to manubi sensei and he would teach them kata that were not included in funakoshi syllabus, these kata were rohai(meikyo,wankan,chinte,unsu,sochin,nijushiho(niseishi)gojushiho,jiin,and bassai sho , Nakayama traveled to China as an exchange student, to further his studies in Chinese language and history. While in China he continued his karate practice and even taught a few classes. He came into contact with kung fu training under several masters. His main teacher was Sifu Pai, with whom he studied a Northern Kung fu style. Northern style kung fu is characterised by having long stances, deep punches and high flashy kicks. Under Sifu Pai, Nakayama learnt taisoku uke (pressing block with sole of foot) and reverse roundhouse/hook kick (ura mawashi geri). Both of these techniques were eventually incorporated into the Shotokan syllabus with the permission of Gichin Funakoshi.

shotokan not only shuri te !!
