Intro to Goju Ryu Saifa Kata - Basics, Stances and Tips

[@barbarba7]

Well done indeed. You guys are going a great job. And we are greatful for the hard work

[@GojuRyuKarateCentre]

Thank you so much, Barbs! 🌻

[@L0rdp3achtr33]

I love how you emphasize the tiny little details of the kata. It really helps since I'm currently learning this kata. The small details you highlighted really help me improve my understanding of Saifa.

[@GojuRyuKarateCentre]

Glad that it’s helping Keep training Che

[@heze20]

As a beginner or goju ryu recently here in Japan. Between yourself and the "Miyagi DOJO" channel.. it really helps..I see it straight from Higaonna sensei and then a breakdown from yourself.. it's life changing. I regularly practice sanchin and gekisai dai ichi after work by the river here.. once I perfect those I will surely move up to this... I hear that this kata is deceptively difficult and I can see that.. there are complex movements in here but that's the joy of karate for me... Understanding body movement and freedom.. Great videos. Please keep it up 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂

[@GojuRyuKarateCentre]

We are so honoured to receive these words from you! You are definitely a true student, open to study and applying yourself even after a full day of work - this is the way! We are lucky to have a student like you in our virtual dojo - please continue your training in such wonderful spirit! Arigato gozaimasu!

I have a belt test this Saturday.. not quite sure how it works yet but I think I'm going for yellow.. the bunkai for dai ichi and dai ni I have down packed now.. saifa I'm just beginning to learn fully. Thanks again for the videos. It's super appreciated!!!

In Kata time is always working for you when you are patient. Nothing is difficult if you do not be perfecte the first time. It is my experience after I Began at 72. Time time works works patience patience... 🥵🥵👍🤛🤛

[@karateRick]

Very detailed explanation of Saifa. I am still working on it after 45 years. I was awarded San Dan by Chinen Teruo sensei. Thanks for mentioning him in your videos.

[@GojuRyuKarateCentre]

Truly that is the best mindset - I always laugh when a blue belt tells me they're "done" with Saifa. Saifa still has many secrets for those willing to dig. Ché tries to honour Sensei Chinen's memory every day - it was truly a great loss to the karate world. If only we had had more time with him. I'm so sorry I never got to meet him, but I can see his genius live on in my husband's work and in the books he wrote. A complicated man, like all great karate men, but nonetheless the fact that his karate survives all over the world is proof of his legacy. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and comment! Best wishes, Zoë

[@claudesaint-sollieux256]

I agree😂😂it can be better men never perfecte... 🥵🥵🥵🥵😱🤛🤛

[@francismubanga9560]

You clearly dissect the kata, and preciously explain each movement thoroughly. (Pinky of one hand at the eye of the pinky of the closed fist - wow, what detail). I'm very impressed with your teaching. Keep the good and hard work up.

[@GojuRyuKarateCentre]

Thank you so much for this truly lovely comment! We try our best to give each kata the detail it deserves. Slowly working our way up the syllabus!

@@GojuRyuKarateCentre You have created a veritable library of Goju Ryu knowledge that's for sure. Being the Sensei of a small humble club in the middle of England has left us with some gaps in knowledge or misunderstandings passed down from my Sensei to us.
