I
was browsing my ,pdf martial books fire and saw one in German titles “Martial
Arts Okinawan Karate Kata”. It didn’t show the author or the date of publication,
but it began to interest me. So I scrolled foreward a bit and discovered a few
kata applications that interest me. Spent about an hour translating that small
section of the book
What
is interested me most was the application of a movement from kata Senenchin
(our Seiunchin). One I had never seen before.
Here
is my translation of the ending of that section.
“The Kata Seienchin is first of all a kata,
which is practiced with some force. But it is just as all other kata, also
executable to the opposite. Let me give you an example. Movements 26-32 mean:
First, after dodging, I enter the movement of the attacker with force and destroy
his posture to prevent another attack. If I'm not so strong to do this, I use
my mind. I let him attack and, in a way, push myself out of his line on the
strength of the opponent - in the end I have the same result.
The Kata must be executed as we can. But keep in mind this:
we give ourselves too easily beaten and think that this far exceeds the skills
we have, so I take the "first" easier way without knowing how deep my
skills actually reach.
Women often think they are physically weak without knowing
their real strength, or vice versa, men who often think they are strong without
knowing that strong and weak cannot be pinned to our physical condition.
But everyone who fights, no matter which way, loses a part
of himself! “
This is what interested me. For the section of the augmented
right block followed by a low strike to the groin with the left fist. It shows
use of the step back to right low block, but instead shows that left low groin
strike as an entry with that hand into a fireman’s throw.
