A Chinto Application Moment with Sherman Harrill

This morning I was viewing a number of Chinto kata opening movement variations that Sherman Harrill taught us in 1996.

 

Then I discovered this series me and Tom Chan working on one of those techniques. Under the watchful eyes of Sherman.

 

If anything I appreciate the work he put into his art even more. He certainly explored the tiniest details of each movement.

 

 

When I think of Sherman, the following reminds me of the man.

 Hit ‘em hard,

Hit ‘em fast,
Hit ‘em low,
So they don’t last
