Seishin-ryu karate kata
"front and back line naifanchi" ... Naihanchi
A
creative form of Seishinryu karate practitioner Kazuo Kikuchi.
Seishin-ryu
karate, the "genealogy of Shuri-te", made "Naifanchi" the
basic and most important training type. The "front and back line
naifanchi" in the video is a development of this, and it is a unique
naifanchi type that moves back and forth created by Kazuo Kikuchi after
training.
This kata, created by Kazuo Kikuchi
from the Naifanchi kata of the ancient tradition that moves horizontally, is
the kata that is originally performed by aridans in the kata practice of
Seishin-ryu karate.
The
Seishin-ryū of yesteryear, which was headquartered at Seishinkan in Tokyo,
created several basic types for beginners during Kazuo Kikuchi's lifetime, but
this one in the video is for advanced dan who has completely mastered the
basics to refine his work.
There
are some masters who state that "there are a wide variety of kata in
Seishin-ryu karate" based on images taken during this period, but the fact
that videos of various kata demonstrations such as Seiryu remain is that some
dan people who have been approved by Kikuchi are only demonstrating in front of
the camera as "references" of "other kata", and Seishin-ryu
karate during the life of Kazuo Kikuchi is not a training system that
demonstrates many other school katas.
As
for kata, if you exclude the basic type proposed by Kikuchi, you can diligently
learn a few types centered on naifanchi. That was the teaching. Kazuo Kikuchi's
Seishin-ryu karate is not a teaching that you should practice as many kata as
in the Karate Museum.
One
of the characteristics of Seishin-ryu is that there are many original terms for
basic operations.
The movements and names of forward
and reverse thrusts in the general karate-ryu school are completely opposite in
Seishin-ryu karate, and one of the features is that the inner and outer
receptions of other streams are called inner yokote and outer yokote in
Seishin-ryu karate.
Kazuo Kikuchi's Seishin-ryu often
devised direct striking kumite in a way that was different from full-contact
karate, and after leaving the Karate Federation, he practiced with the
disciples in which the practitioners applied ink to each other's fists and when
they poked each other's faces, ink marks were left on their faces.
Kikuchi
also had the name "Waken", but no disciple was allowed to use the
name "No" during his lifetime. Also, the highest rank of Seishin-ryu
karate during Kazuo Kikuchi's lifetime was 6 dan, and there was only one
person. In fact, 5 dan is the highest rank.
In
the video of Seishin-ryu Iai, there is a video of a 5th dan person who served
as deputy director of the Motobu dojo during Kikuchi's lifetime, performing an
Iai demonstration, but ... This is just a video he took in private as a souvenir
when he purchased the sword, and has nothing to do with the teachings of
Seishin-ryu Iai or the spread of Iai practice.
The old Seishin-ryu Iai-enbu video
that is currently leaked to the streets is a reproduction and use of a certain
master's runaway without his permission. And the current situation is that
Seishin-ryu Iai has been circulating without permission and materials on kata
operation, and people who have no formal training experience in Iai are issuing
dan.
Therefore,
as of 2015, there is not a single master who has officially learned Seishin-ryu
iai from Kazuo Kikuchi and has disseminated (and is qualified to) it in its
original and correct form.
There
are also cases where teachers who falsely promote their own congregation
"apart from common sense teachers" and dan people who were
excommunicated by the living Kikuchi for scandals claim to be high dan after
the death of Kazuo Kikuchi.
Finally,
the family of Kazuo Kikuchi, who died prematurely in 1983 at the age of 58, had
no experience in martial arts and had no involvement in the legitimate
succession of Seishin-ryu.
Therefore, there is "some kind
of confusion" among former disciples and groups that are too weak to have
anything to do with the teachings of Kazuo Kikuchi by pulling out black belts
from other schools, and groups that are practically lost in terms of
Seishin-ryu karate-style instruction, so if Seishin-ryu karate is to stick to
the traditional "original Kikuchi teachings", it is necessary to
carefully examine the teachers, sects, and groups.
