Part 2 of the premiere of One Point Lesson (^^)

Whew! Looks like the other vids are now loading. The order is messed up but beggars can't be choosy.
Note: The applications shown on this blog are basic, there are additional variations, i.e. changing of angle, different use of the Shotei Uke or Uchi and the target area of the Shuto uchi.
おおお!ようやくなんとかアップロードできた。順番はメチャメチャだが、贅沢は言えない。仕方は基本だが、いろいろなバリエーシオンは在る。たとえば角度を変える、掌低うちまたは受けを使うか、手刀の当てる場所とか。

Variations of Seipai Opening Movement

      I am pretty sure that more variations exist out there in Karate World (^^). What is important is to have an open mind and to diligently train in whatever version you have been taught by your Senseis. There really is no right or wrong. Train hard and understand you Kata. Ensure that your Bunkai and Oyous are on the realistic side rather than on the Razz Ma Dazz side. We all know and understand that in real life an attack is not choreographed. But never the less, the waza we practice in the Kata, its theories and applications should be applicable to attacks in real life. You may not move exactly in the same manner but the original application is still there.
空手の世界にはもっと違った動きがあると思う。大事なのは視野を広くもって自分先生から学んだ型を切磋琢磨する事。正しい、間違ってるは無い。稽古に励んで型を理解しよう。分解と応用は現実性も保ってあまり派手な解釈は避けよう。現実での攻撃は踊りのような振り付けはない。だが、型で学んだ技、そのセオリーと応用は実戦使える。型どうりに動かないかもしれないが本来の応用は生きていると思う。
Take's Gitokukai Goju Version
           In this sequence Take applies a descending Shuto strike into the neck area while stepping back to off balance the attacker.The securing of the had n grabbing the lapel is just one of many options, rather than securing it can be used as a Shotei Uchi, knocking away the aggressor's hand.
この場合武は下ろし手刀を首の根っこに叩き込みながら下がる。相手を崩す。相手の手を固定するのもひとつのやり方、掌低うちで叩き落してもいい。

A little bit of reality awareness
Just a little bit of reality check. Timing of the application is critical. Better not to get grabbed!
ちょっとだけ現実にもどろう。タイミングが非可決。


Yachiyo's Kyokushin application
     Yachi's Kyokushin version. Of course there are several out there (^^) Some use the Mawashi Shuto Uchi others use the Haito (Back of Hand). The opening sequence changes depending on which is used. For the Haito the arm takes a horizontal arc towards the head, while the Shuto Uchi is done in basic form.
やちの極真バージオン。他にも違ったのはあるだろう。回し手刀を使えば、輩刀を使う。最初の動作でどちらを使うによって変わる。輩型は水平に動く、手刀打ちは基本通りに打つ。

      
Roushiichi's Application
      Now the version of the Nukite against the throat. Whereas Take and Yachi both use the overhead circular motion of the attacking hand, mine is straight into the target area. As I mention in the vid, not all of us practice nukite in a jar of pebbles, makiwara or sandbag, For most, I would say the chances of our fingers getting injured are pretty good thus the shift to a throat grab.

喉を的にした抜き手。武とやちは上からの円の動機をしたのと比べ、この場合は直線に出る。ビデオにも語ったが、砂利、巻きわらやサンドバッグで指を鍛えて以内人もいるだろう。その場合自分の指を負傷するのが高い。まー喉は柔らかいが。それで喉輪に変更・応用。


Message to William Shihandai and Tony Sensei!
Time for Tony's Nihongo Lessons! (^^)

      Needless to say, what was shown on this blog is only a part of a sequence, there is always a follow-up to the initial movements. That is why Kata is so interesting to me. You can take a movement on its own or several movements from a sequence of moves. For instance, add the second and third moves of  Seipai to this initial movement (which ever version), How does it flow? Well that's for y'all to find out!

Off to a second opinion on my back spasms. It is a killer just to lie down and get up. That lightning bolt of pain and the contraction of the muscles makes me want to cry! (**;) Got to get it fixed so I can practice!
