Kei
Miyagi (Miyagi Chojun’s son) demonstrating kata application from (most likely)
Seipai kata
"The karate that
has been introduced to Tokyo is actually a single part of a larger whole. The
fact that those who have learned karate in Tokyo think that it consists only of
hand strikes and kicks, and that throws and joint locks are only a part of
jujutsu or judo can only be attributed to their lack of awareness on this art.
While it can be said that this is an unavoidable situation because only a small
part of karate was introduced, this is very regretful from the point of view of
the popularization of karate. Those people who are truly thinking of the future
of karate should not keep a closed mind and limit themselves to learning only
an empty shell, but should strive to study the complete art." --
