the Tou-on-ryu Gokenki Nipai (Shouting Crane's 28 movements / Ershiba) form

 

For those that haven't seen a clear or full demonstration of the Tou-on-ryu Gokenki Nipai (Shouting Crane's 28 movements / Ershiba) form, this rendition comes via Sensei Ohtsuka Tadahiko's (大塚忠彦) Gojukensha (剛柔拳舎) school.

 

Very unlike extant Shouting Crane Ershiba forms in both arrangement and details of primary sequences, this could represent either an earlier "Luohan" prototype, or a personal arrangement by Gokenki or Kyoda Juhatsu.

 

Note: the crane "whipping" energy has been replaced with the Okinawan power model.

Translation of the YouTube description

 

December 1, 1996 Naha City Civic Hall Large Hall Hiei Naoshi Memorial Commemoration Of the Third Anniversary Of Karate and Kobudo Enbu Tournament Part 2 Invitational Enbu Gojukensha Ichimon.

 

Mr. Tadahiko Otsuka, who was also the president of the All Okinawa Karate Federation, was awarded the only ranked officer on the mainland, and in order to lead the group and show the research results of his theory of "Learning of Sanken", Nahate, Gojuryu "Kururunfer",

 

We held a memorial service for "Hapolen," the prototype of the three battles of Nahate and Gojuryu, Nahate "Naepai" which was in danger of being lost, Shurite and Kobayashi-ryu "Pinan", Shurite Kobayashi-ryu "Passai University" and "Chen-style Tai Chi" which is a direct story of Hisatoshi.

 

 

 

Fred Lohse Russ, I am reminded of correlations between power generation and application in FC, and Jigen, actually and for some reason. A random thought- since certain techniques will not work well with different power perhaps changes to sequence or movement are pushed at least in part by the different "engine". If the technique is a total fail with the power you use, wouldn't you remove and replace it?

 

Burinkan Martial Arts Fantastic point...although you may be giving more credit than due. Excellent food for thought.

 

Fernando Portela Inst-Stokastos This is one of the katas that absolutely does not work. Pure waste of time. Kyoda probably smoked opium at the back of Gokenki's tea shop. Do not want to miss with respect ...

 

Burinkan Martial Arts Really do enjoy the Gojukensha body mechanics, though, regardless of the reasoning for the form's drift.
