When I was a new green belt I scoured the internet for old Chito Ryu videos, but they were not to be found. I am still amazed this was posted, and I wonder who did it. I just hope it does not get taken down!

It is awe inspiring to see O'Sensei, Hanshi and Oksan training together. I hope everyone gets a chance to visit/test at the Honbu. Being there is like stepping into a time machine and is amazing to be there knowing all who stepped foot before us. Seeing O'Sensei and Hanshi on tape in the same spot we all just tested at is Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12113006145419645080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8744652206449371569.post-39644820933857022872020-04-23T09:17:46.137-07:002020-04-23T09:17:46.137-07:00I am like that most days, but I try to have the di...I am like that most days, but I try to have the discipline to do a little something every day.Paul Hanklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14203080603452848720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8744652206449371569.post-77966030369640564842020-04-17T07:12:40.791-07:002020-04-17T07:12:40.791-07:00Took me the entire video until he said podcast for...Took me the entire video until he said podcast for it to click where I have heard his name before!

Never practiced a kata this way but think it is good way not only to practice but perhaps a way to teach new katas. Instead of throw a whole kata at someone chunk it up a bit each week.

I’ll have to dig through some old paper work and find some more info on it. The 15 upper and lower body basic were used more or less like the taikyoku ichi-San and Juniwaza/sanjuko as a means to teach karate ka how to utilize their weapons (empty hand/ karate) .Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12113006145419645080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8744652206449371569.post-18051849254807366732019-11-13T05:03:19.988-08:002019-11-13T05:03:19.988-08:00I believe there is a handful of allowed Kata that ...I believe there is a handful of allowed Kata that they can choose from, even if it isn’t part of their type of karate.

Though the pacing of what I have seen in qualifying is slower than how we train the precision and snap they put into training (or starched Gi) is very impressive. Kumite will be entertaining but from the looks of it a lot of bouncing for a quick one shot point rather than a combo.
