Thought For The Week - Shorin-Ryu U.S.A. 11/07/98

Kyoshi's Technique of the Week

 

 

"Niahanchi Kata"

Addition to last week's post.
We do NOT body test children.
Difficult moves from Okinawan Karate-Do photos.
fig.7-center stays centered between the feet,
elbow strike to the side, opposite knee gives slightly.
fig.9-complete the low block as in F1.
fig.10,11,12-square punch remains in place during
travel to the next move, timing is important.
fig.14-lock out the arms.
fig.19-wrist is at shoulder height, center stays centered.

Height remains the same, do not bob up and down.
Important to show each technique, lock it out.
Do not bounce the techniques, do not blur them.

Arigato,
Kyoshi Robert Scaglione.
