Sensei Paul Jackman - Naihanchin Kata

[profwitiger]

Was taught this kata in 1983 by Histaka Masayuki at the Hombu Dojo in Waseda

- Jackman's2009 version is almost identical - that is a good measure of a solid budo school

This is Koshiki Naihanchin that we do in Shorinji Ryu. It's different from other Naihanchin katas out there. Naihanchin means fighting in a tight space - this doesn't look like fighting in a tight space. But I was taught the same Naihanchin by my sensei who was a student of style founder.

And the guy is showing it very thoroughly, IMHO.
