Comment: " tadahiko ohtsuka sensei was for me a great discovery I made,
many years ago, thanks to Roland Habersetzer and his magazine le ronin, of
which I was subscriber. Ohtsuka Sensei Compiled numerous kata in its archaic
forms, both from the line of the nahate, and the lines of shurite and tomarite,
as well as white crane. His Magna work of compilation was published through an
encyclopedia composed of 8 books with the corresponding videos about the
compilation of kata called Okinawan Gōjū Ryu karate gojukensha kyohan.
The present video shows members of the gojukensha performing different archaic
forms of kata, both from nahate, and from shurite-Tomarite, and deserves a
stopped observation by the curious and scholars. If I'm not wrong, at simple
sight the version of kata jion presented, with tatzuna no kamae instead of
kakiwake uke, it would be the's. And she deserves a wide comparative analysis
with the jion of shotokan and shitō-Ryu. Tatzuna no kamae presents a more
aggressive strategy, taking the initiative, that kakiwake uke, which marks
completely, not only the kata of kata, but also its myo. For those who do not
know tadahiko ohtsuka sensei, unfortunately already deceased, copy below the
translation of his vital review that was published in an interview published in
this address: https://jamessumarac.com/an-interview-with-sensei-tadahiko.../
Biography: Ohtsuka Tadahiko was born in Tokyo on June 10, 1940. He began
studying gōjū Ryu Karate-do in 1955 under the direction of master sosui
ichikawa, a senior student of the legendary kanki izumikawa, from the line
chojun miyagi To seko higa. Ohtsuka Sensei got his fifth dan in 1965, and also
graduated in law at Meiji University. Two years later, a meeting with the
Chinese Master of tai chi yang ming shih had a great impact on his life, which
resulted in the development of a passion for tai chi chuan. Then, in 1968, he
discovered the Chinese internal kung fu systems of hsing I and ba gua through
master wang shu chin from Taiwan, who came to stay several years in Japan. At
the same time, he studied the technique for the maximization of attack power
with master shorin ryu yochuku higa from Okinawa.
Ohtsuka Sensei founded his own partnership in 1970, gōjū kensha. He was one of
the greatest contemporary sensei, taught continuously karate and tai chi, and
in the appropriate stages, he integrated his wide knowledge of the inner
Chinese kung fu in his teaching. In addition to being alderman of Tokyo Central
Municipality of chuo-ku for more than 30 years, he traveled frequently to
Okinawa, Taiwan and China to continue his research on the internal (Soft) and
external (hard) styles that evolved to the Current Karate. He saw his research
as progressive, reversing concern for the limited skill tournament technique
that now prevails, and bringing martial arts to versatile and vital techniques,
which established their original reputation. Rest in peace."
