  • that guy's kiai made me jump. AWESOME.

  • Oh - also - some clarification, these two chito-ryu kata are not related to the ones of the same name in other styles. Sanshiryu (sometimes spelled Sanseiru) is the Chito-ryu version of Gojushiho, from various Shorin styles.

    Chito-ryu Kusanku is similar to, but quite a lot modified from Shorin-ryu versions of Kusanku. The more I look at the two of them though, the more I can see similarities.

  • A few comments to clarify:

    this is 2 kata back to back.

    The first one is Chito-ryu sanshiryu, up until the squatting, scooping move.

    After that, it is a modified version of chito-ryu Kusanku, introduced recently (last 10 years or so), and called kusanku-dai. It actually includes pieces of the Chitose family kata called "Rochin" and only shown at various important events.

  • This is Kushanku halfway through. He puts two katas back to back here.

  • Beautiful. But, I dont think this is Kushanku. Seems like a mixture of different kata :)

    Nice

  • anyone know what the bunkai is for the movment at the end , with the twirling hands ?

  • Just to clarify... there are 2 kata being done here separated in the middle with a kiai at 2:05. The first kata is Sanshiryu and the second is Kusankudai.

  • Thats was an amazing kata. But doesnt even resemble Kusanku Dai in the slightest way....or maybe my lineages doesnt resemble THIS version? How can they be the same name but completely different kata?

  • i liked the kata, i have seen Sanshiryu being preformed although have not experiences kusanku, it i recognized the jump from chinto.

    but i though he was amazing, the hand movements, makes me wanna get my 4th dan just to try it out!!

  • Kata intéressant. J'aimerais bien être aussi bon que ce sensei lorsque je serai plus âgé.

    Merci de publier ce kata.
