Annonkan Isshinryu Karate - 安穏館一心流空手
The topic of kata beginning and ending at the start point (kiten) along the embusen seems to be popular as of late. Though some lineages have adopted the practice, adjustments to the movements having been made at some generation during their reception of the kata, it was not a concept taught by Shimabuku Tatsuo Sensei as a matter of principle. The kata shown here do not have an inherent symmetry in their design which leads one to end where they began. Seisan, Naihanchi, Sanchin, and Chinto to follow
This is brilliant I wish I had thought of this. It makes the case I was talking about earlier was Chinto
kata.
And here are the other kata.
Vic, I asked Shinsho about this one day and he communicated that what was important in kata was only Shinkuchi. And as I remember it he said it pretty emphatically. Karate for many today is sport and competition and so I teach like he taught me, which is where you stop your kata isn't relevant to your training.
