Kururunfa Shito Ryu

[Wi1qi]

0:56 wtf?

[CharliiePinkBabe1994]

This Kata is really easy, it's just about getting the timing right :)

[deek77]

@CharliiePinkBabe1994 I agree that they make it look easy, but considering the breathing and tension of the core and legs you have to maintain in this kata, that's what makes it difficult. Your body will eventuall commits the movements in kata to muscle memory, so in that respect it does get easier. But that's when they have you apply principles like simulataneous contraction and extension of opposing muscle groups. It can get really tough but worth it.

[CharliiePinkBabe1994]

@deek77 Cheers for the advice but no affence i dont think i need it ha as i am not to far off my black belt 2nd dan

[deek77]

@CharliiePinkBabe1994 No offense taken bro, thanks for responding. Good to know you're on your way to 2nd dan, however Kururunfa is a 4th dan kata. At that stage in training, there's more to it than just timing and knowing the movements. You'll find out soon enough. May it be well with you.

HERMOSO

[gurikoify]

技の曲解甚だしく、剛柔流に対する冒涜だ。他流派の形を中途半端­にやるんじゃない。

初心者の演武より見苦しい。

the most elegant kata

[monkey190pd3]

Did they add sound to it?

[DELINFIERNOALATIERRA]

no, the karate gi does that sound

[monkey19089]

hm... it sounds a little enhanced. Maybe it's the room he's in?

[DELINFIERNOALATIERRA]

no, my uniform does that sound too

[PLAYER1NYC]

what uniform do you use

[deduiveltjes]

a karate uniform du-uh!

[senseisakornsin]

You can never go wrong with a crispy Shureido gi.

[Paitro202]

deffinately enhanced

[faceplant78]

deffinatly wrong..

[Paitro202]

sorry son, chin up ehh

[dougrhess]

Very interesting. You can really see elements of Fukien White Crane and even some Wing Chun (which is related to WC) in this style, although clearly gone through many changes.

[opticannon]

yeah this is true, but i always thought that chinese kung fu influenced karate not the other way around.

[dougrhess]

Yes. That's what i was saying (or trying to) : )

[opticannon]

oh, my mistake

[radamanthys1]

in that part of the rising hands, Uke grabs Tori from the back grabing at the same time Tor´s head, tori at this time is traped with both hands up.

then, tori move their feet to shiko dashi pulling the arms front to tori´s chest (like the kata)at the same time. then, in the part of the kata when tori opens both hands down looking the roof, tori is trowing away uke´s arms seting free, then you perform ashi barae to trow uke to the floor, then you can finish uke with tzuki.

[Garywado]

I would just love to see the bunkai to this Kata!

Particularly the part where he raises his hands together above the head.

[abenice]

When he raises his hands above his head that is application against a full Nelson!

[shisoshin]

bunkai = numbered section of kata..

from, bunkai, may come oyo = application of, the numbered section..

there are various oyo in each bunkai..

the greatest mistake made by those who dont know, is assuming that, what they see is, the application[s]..

so, 'full nelson' may be part of, but isnt, all there is to the movement or waza when

actually applied..

[abenice]

ok what do you see then in that part of the kata

[picka313]

Excellent.
