  • Try going to chito ryu Canada there WAY better

  • exellent out of all the videos ive senn this is by far the best when it came down to form control and flow. a little stiff but no doubt exxellent

  • I kind of recognize it. I know the chito-ryu version

  • cant wait to learn this!

  • Yoshukai's version of Seisan is completely different...

  • that's because they practice the more shuri-te based version, and shito ryu practices the naha-te version. they're as you said, completely different.

  • This version is closest to Higaonna Sensei version. There are many different version of this kata by many other Sensei's. Such as Matsumura Sensei has his version etc etc.

  • Nope, i do gkr... seisan and hangetsu are completely different kata.s

    Seisan begins with open hands like sanseru (closed hands) hangetsu beings with an inside hookin block whilst in sanchin dachi

  • you're right. this seisan comes from the naha-te line, as Mabuni was a student of Higashionna sensei and good friends with Miyagi sensei. however the Uechi ryu version is quite different than this. and this kata was originally named seisan too, but it was a shuri-te version rather than naha-te. Hohan Soken said some did this because they saw similar movements to a kata they practice but didn't have a name for it, so they stole the name in some cases which is why there are many versions possibly.

  • This is not Karate Shyto Ryu of Ishimi :(

  • Shito Ryu has inherited all katas from naha-te and from shuri-te, this explain why Goju Ryu practicings recognize their karate do style.

  • This kata is known as Hangetsu(half-moon) in Shotokan due to Funikoshi's name change. Is Seisan not also practiced in Goju? I thought this kata originated with Okinawin Naha-te which developed into Goju.

  • You may be right. This kata should be in goju because the movements are distinctly goju, but I never had to do this kata while in the goju style. Maybe my instructor thought it was too similar to other katas we were doing. I found that while there were the same katas in shitoryu and gojuryu, the emphasis in breathing techniques in gojuryu to be much different.

  • It is practiced by Uechi Ryu, Goju Ryu, Okinawan Kempo. Hangetsu is tghe Shotokan version

  • Well done. Brings back memories of my days in Shitoryu before switching to Gojuryu.

  • Tiene una secuencia algo parecida a Tensho, buena Kata
