This Shorin Ryu kata came from Shorin Ryu Honda Katsu, as
taught by Carl Long in Pennsylvania . The name means “Light from the South”. It
was taught at green belt level.
Mr. Long’s tradition is in the Shimabuku Ezio lineage of
Shorin Ryu.

Note: the last section facing 12, with the chamber of both
hands high, is a modification I made for beginners. The original technique was
step away with the bottom hand facing the opponent (palm down) and the top hand
crossing the lower arm, the hand turned towards your face. Then the lower hand
is pulled back as the top arm drops the elbow and strikes out. The two hands
together can be a wrist grab counter.
The modified technique came from Korean training, and it is
changed at green belt.
