Garyu Kyokushinkai kata

[Dobbersky]

Reclining Dragon - Application please, OSU

[ShiningNow]

Probably the greatest kata in history.

[fatmanboy]

This is a very strange kata, it looks more like somthing I would expect to see in Shaolin Kung Fu than in Karate.

[comrad1986]

@fatmanboy yes ..this is what makes kyokushin karate unique

[36tomis]

flying dragon

[Piffdamiff]

Garyu stands for Reclining Dragon.

@Piffdamiff wts the purpose of this kata?

[MSAlex23]

@Piffdamiff it was the nickname of Sosaiu Oyama at his beggining

[eighttrigramspalm1]

What does the name of this kata mean?

[DkSupport]

The greatest Karate kata ever :-) :-)

[lawker777]

ryu narushima and his signature jodan mawashi geri. harder than it looks

[doareu57]

perfect !

[lawker777]

Y do i get a thumbsdown for simply asking a question that i am curious about and not deliberately making any profane, vulgar or any rude comments?

[zepetido]

for which kyu or dan is this kata?

[deek77]

In IKO, this is needed for the shodan test. Other branches may have it for nidan.

[Dimitri759]

this is a very difficult kata

[lawker777]

sry for my ignorance, wt is the point of those crane head looking hands?

[anthonywardell1981]

strikes to the jaw though I could be wrong!?

[lawker777]

gd guess, im just a beginner. this kata is pretty unique, and is gd practice, especially the kicks which r very ideal for kumite. thanks though! Osu

[anthonywardell1981]

Douitashimashite, I think its called Koken-strike with the wrist. It looks good in Tensho;)

I'm A begineer aswel. Narushima is top drawer for jodan Mawashi-geri. My favourite kata is Pinan sono ni;) Gambatte

[lawker777]

lol, thanks man, u dun sound like a beginner. i love kyokushin. wt exactly r those strikes for in 0:20 - 0:25? gd luck in kumite man n train hard! Osu

[RoquefortRaider]

It's a koken, or strike with the back of the wrist. It can be used, for example, when someone grabs your hand. You free your hand by pulling hard in a vertical move, hitting the opponent on the chin at the same time.

[kyokushin4eva]

im a brown belt and im wondering if i can do this kata for a competition they usually only let you do the kata if its at ur level and im not sure if this is a brown or black belt kata.?

[lio50]

this kata is for nidan. so i think u should choose a diffrent kata. i recomend pinan sono go...

[dwizx]

If u really want to learn this kata you should by th book: Kyukushin Karate Kata by Shihan Steve Arneil.

osu

[invictuskill]

do some kind of pinan ura...tahts at brown lvl...

[fmz703]

is that ryu narushima?

[karateee]

yes sir, it is!

[jesuspi]

A rather unusual kata... you can see Mas Oyama's korean heritage in it!

[karateee]

Osu that is what my Shihandai says
