Kata Seiunchin and the Hustle

  

I was taught to do Seiunchin Kata to the music of the Hustle by Lewis Sensei.

 

I had just learned the form by Dennis Lockwood

And Mr Lewis drilled the Yellow Belts to do Seiunchin kata

As a team kata for a demonstration.

 

We practiced the form over and over to this music and likely there were some small variations to the kata to fit the music.

 

But it that version remained my core Sciuncchin forever more

And this is what I taught.

when doing Seiunchin Kata.!
