The question of striking

 

 

Ryan Parker

Anyone ever check (count) to see whether gyaku-zuki or oi-zuki/jun-zuki show up more in old (pre-1900) Suidi kata? Same question about old (again pre-1900) Nafadi kata? I have been thinking about gyaku-zuki a lot lately and how to best train for it. I was just struck by the thought that maybe this emphasis is misplaced... So anyone know off hand which is more common?

I am talking about oi-zuki/jun-zuki and gyaku-zuki... Let's not make this more complicated than it needs to be... Lead hand straight punch vs rear hand straight punch. Would you please help me out Samir Berardo, and name an old kata with kizami-zuki in it (and where it is found in the kata).

Bruno Ballardini In case here it speaks of having replaced if not removed the most dangerous techniques by kata. It is likely that it was Itosu. But at the time of Itosu all still had memories of what these techniques. The problem is that the "mass" versions created by Itosu took over and have spread only those and gradually was lost memory of kata. Itosu is guilty then indirectly. But in modern times is repeating the same thing between sports and modern karate and karate of Okinawa: vince what spreads more and you lose that memory.

 

 

Bruno Ballardini

A serious question by Ryan Parker, the researcher who all know and elsewhere with a similar question posed by Angel Lemus. In particular, Angel claims a hypothesis whereby the punches in Okinawan kata pulled invariably chudan level would be a twentieth century invention that coincides with an attempt to accustom youngsters to pull just a little dangerous targets as the trunk in a couple exercises and applications. This would coincide with the progressive introduction of karate in schools after Itosu. These two observations are very interesting and qualify research that I, Robert Gonella, Giuseppe Meloni and a handful of Italian pioneers are doing on the old creating a karate School that studies

 

Bruno Ballardini is no longer enough "just stumble along" as their cocks like most Okinawan schools present in the territory. Now it's out in the open, otherwise the last word will always and only those of Japanese karate I shudder to mingling. Yes I'm racist: that's not KARATE and I rode her ass to be mixed with people which so besmirches the name of karate which are full the message boards Facebook. I have nothing to do with them and don't want to be together for a sleeve of ignorant not only karate but ignorant in a broad sense, of the scoundrels who are photographed in the karategi Facebook profile as if their lives were in karategi. People talking instead of practicing karate. I do not speak of karate but work to make known the real karate and stem this ignorance. Karate was not Japanese. POINT.

 

Peter Fabbroni seems like an interesting theory but a little forced. I don't think removing the punches Jordan from kata will generate a habit to aim at targets less dangerous. The first zuffa, and then surely there was exceedingly great, and at the first punch in the face, the karateka would undoubtedly done soon to change habits. In my opinion the tsuki chudan represent the archetype of fist, one that allows you to understand the principles of chinkuchi, gamaku ... Where is Jordan wants to suggest a different ingredient. Simplification of the kata was definitely there but in terms. Rather by bunkai is easier to learn a habit to counter-attack chudan (but after years of practice and not a. Bettencourt makiwara an attack).
