Seiunchin Kata Isshinryu

[domugen]

"It is arrogant, egoistical, chauvinistic, or even oppressive and imperialistic to claim one's own style or fighting art tradition is true and all others are mistaken. One who says this is claiming that he or she is epistemically privileged with respect to persons of other styles: that he or she knows something of great value while they are mired in ingnorance or error. And to say this is to exhibit a kind of intellectual arrogance or worse."

How long would this man last against an MMA fighter?

[onepunchonekill]

Never underestimate a man like Master Shimabukuro. You could be death before you hit the ground. This is no sport karate.

[mikhailrahl]

LMAO what you should be asking is how long could one of your sloppy, unbalanced MMA fighters last against this man?

[q123477]

@mikhailrahl I agree with you. Just today I was arguing with someone about MMA. It is a sport, not a style, which many people tend to forget. They have no charts or katas. I hate asking what style a person takes and them saying MMA because it is not a stlye.

[worriedbanana]

@talon115 the question is:

how long would an MMA fighter last against shimabuku?

[mikhailrahl]

Although I did not train directly under Shimabuku Sensei, my lineage is very short indeed, and I have been told to keep in mind that at this point in his life, the only empty-hand kata he trained in on a daily basis were Sanchin and Sunsu.

[Patrickd28117]

I remember hearing from some one that he was demonstrating something while doing the kata though I don't remember what.

[andresjamega]

maestro?? oyeee q malo q tengamos q ver ese tipo de demosstraciones... las cosas se hacen de corazon.. es preferible decir ahora no estoy de animos... voy a pensar q estaba enfermo y tenia q demostrarlo.. pero no se si eso era un shiko dashi.. malo malo... buenoo muchas cosas van progresando.. no todos los alumnos son buenos.. jeje aqui ahi una demostracion barbara de tan preciado kata.. q deberia ser con mucho kime y respiracion

[micaylapresley]

Estoy de acuerdo, hakakku. El maestro estaba muy flojo en su aplicacion. Ew!

[randomfellow123321]

im in isshin ryu karate and ilearned this kata

[1punchkill]

Anyone that studies Isshin Ryu karate should notice that when Tatsuo does his brake from the bare hug, his lead arm is not doing a high block. Anyone that preforms this technique with a high block is doing it incorrectly and should not be teaching it.

[Tgoku123456]

This is a good resorce but you shouldnt be puting it on youtube Master Shimabukuro would not like what you are doing i would remove it for his respect.

[miguelmstewie]

I would imagine if he was sick to the point that it would significantly impair his ability to perform the Kata, then he would not have allowed himself to be filmed. He was the founder of this style and who would have argued with him. That excuse is just an excuse for a poorly performed Kata. If it was for demonsration, and was slowed down so one could see that exact moves, then they should be precise. It would be more credible to say that Shimabuku was not strong in Kata.

[Thereaper673]

shut your mouth

[uuumdm]

I've read a number of places he could kick all sorts of ass though.

[666khaos]

oops. got katas confused. i need sleep. sorry

[666khaos]

I studied isshin ryu for a few years. we were taught to be very tense during this kata. however i have studied this same kata from a goju ryu school (where the kata originates from) in later years and they do it the same way sensei shimabuku does it here on this video. the main lesson of this kata is breathing and knowing when to use the tension. it trains the body to receive impact and it really works.

[pmonares]

hakakku, aprende ingles y lee los comentarios anteriores para que entiendas por que el maestro shuimabuku realiza el cata de esa manera

[Hakakku]

En mi opinión, aunque sea un maestro de un estilo, es el peor seienchin q he visto...mi amigo sayita q es 6to kyu lo hace mejor

[GothicTrioOfEdwards]

Hes hott.

[kempobrad]

not to mention he was ill at the time!!

[mikhailrahl]

I find it humorous that a person calling themselves 'porktimmy' provides negatively critiques a master of a previous generation for his demonstration of a kata that this critic probably doesn't understand in the least. What's more, the critic is probably oblivious to the fact that Mr. Shimabuku was demonstrating this kata not in the way it is performed, but the way it is taught to students who are just learning it.

[DejaVu1017]

You are absolutely right. Well said!

[mikhailrahl]

Thank you, DejaVu1017.
