We are on about 50 pages so far, but hoping to put a dent in it while we are closed for the holidays! Thank you for always taking the time to watch and comment - we appreciate you :D
God job Sir, I appreciate your Bunkai application allowing for sidesteps when parrying, changes in angles and useful applications from life. The only thing is Saifa trained for green o blue belt. The Kata Saifa was originally designed for ther lst Dan, Seienchin for the second, and so on. Studwents are were required the Takikoyoku, Gekisai katas altogether 6 + 2, 8+ 2 (Sanchin and Tensho)=10 katas for Eigth degrees, what is more than enougth. Best regards, Paul,68, retired instructor of Goju-ryu Karate.
Thanks Paul Love the insights Your kata list looks like it’s from the Japanese / Yamaguchi line. We don’t do Taiyoku Katas , I did learn them while cross training within SeiwaKai in the 1990s Was strange to do Saifa for Shodan and Seiyunchen for Nidan tests.
Truly, Goju Ryu is the style that keeps on giving! Maybe "only" 12 kata, but enough to study and train for a lifetime. Thank you so much for the lovely comment!
It's so funny when a blue belt turns around and says "I'm done with Geki Sai, I know everything I need to know" and then I laugh and laugh and make them do it again :D
I have an idea how about you make a video on how to be a black belt I don't mean to get black belt but how to act like a black belt and how to train like a black belt because I'm trying to improve on kata and sparring and I want to know how a black belt does those things
So yours gradings for kata are as follows: 7 kyu - gekisai dai ichi, 6 kyu - gekisai dai ni, 5 kyu - sanchin (kihon), 4 kyu - saifa, 3 kyu - seiyunchin, 2 kyu - shisochin, 1 kyu - sanseru, 1 dan - sanchin dai ni, 2 dan - sepai, 3 dan - kururumfa, 4 dan - tensho, 5 dan - seisan, 6 dan - suparimpei, 7 dan - you're kyoshi, go and rule the province for the emperor, etc.? :)
When you become kyoshi, no one may make direct eye contact, for to look upon your glory is to look directly into the heart of the sun, so powerful and mighty you are (lololol)
Saifa bunkai is good. Very lucid and clear ideas. It is also helpful me although i am shodan
We never leave Saifa behind, no matter the dan! Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment 🤗
Awesome that you are publishing a book about your dojo and your methods for all to learn about. Good job and great basic bunkai demos!
