The Reinforced Fist of Seiunchin Kata!

[@Jameskeith1972]

You’re such a good instructor!❤ so kindred. Love your channel man(respectfully)!

[@sankararajan1731]

Extremely good & beautiful exposition of the Kata technique. Hoize Kyoshi.

[@Shinobi1Kenobi]

Solid bunkai.

[@greengriffmark]

It's a standing strangle/neck wrench. Along the lines of other 'cup and saucer' movements you see in many katas.

...thanks...made a lot of sense.

[@stevebuschman715]

Nice explanation. Love the dropping of the elbow. A suggestion, with all due respect, keeping the reinforcing hand's fingers straight. Might find a little more energetic coherence. Respect, Sensei Oshita

[@44Noosh]

Very helpful explanation! Have you ever seen people grab their own wrist and do basically a vertical punch? That’s what I’ve been shown and I’m curious how common that is or isn’t. Thanks!

Kata!

[@mattheld6717]

Thank you for this very nice explanation/interpretation Sensei Oshita! My question is: After the reinforced bending of the opponent's wrist, you step into their space and perform a quick punch before the downward backfist. In the traditional kata, its almost like this punch doesn't exist. I like it as a variation to the theme of the kata, but would you recommend not interpreting the original Seiunchin kata as including this punch but having the fist just out slightly in order to pull it back with full force in order to increase the power of the opposing arm's downward backfist? Does that make sense as I've said it?

[@adamcaswell1924]

When you step in, step behind your opponent’s leg so that 1) your stance destroys their structure and 2) the won’t be able to grab your leg in the first place. Just my two cents.

[@peacefulpets9938]

It is not a reinforced block?

[@pietjepukpap57]

So fake😅

[@leondarley2811]

Nothing fake, it's merely a variation of a z lock you see in Jūjutsu, Aiki-Jūjutsu, Aikidō, Hapkidō, Gōngfu, Okinawa Tī/Karatê, and so on.

You would know from all the practice you get from behind a keyboard.
