@bit21 are you serious do you even know who this man is? This master has more fighting experience, skill and over all one of the best martial artist ever lived and he has more skill than Bruce lee eats rice dumbass
Kanbun, Kanai's father was not known to teach the kata until they started demonstrating the forms publicly. He broke down the attacks from the kata and taught his students single combative application from aspects sections of the forms. Ikkuryu I believe is what it was called. But his focus was application of technique practiced between partners for self defense purposes for his fellow Okinawans that were being harassed by Japanese street gangs. See Shiyu Gushi, or Toyama sensei's for more.
I think that the problem is that this is not a gospel form for us to follow. It is like many things in the martial arts the basic formula. From it we are supposed to adapt. Kata historically is more like a soup than a set of instructions. We are supposed to learn the basic form train with it adapt it to our bodies but then discover more from the meaning of all the ingredients. Many time the American students did not get to know more than the very basics before returning home.
The answer is probably as simple as it makes the entire situation complex. Those videos shot by master Earle were for demonstrating the form in the most basic way for students to learn from. However that means he was emphasizing the clearest example of the form. He also repeated those thrusts to demonstrate that they are not anything like any of the sanchin thrusts done in the rest of the kata.
@Suuntzuu .... You are quite correct . I was a student of Mr. Earle`s in Providence , RI . Unfortunately Mr. Earle lost a battle with cancer a few years ago . His senior students have carried on his legacy with a new dojo in Pawtucket , Rhode Island .
One comment about this video .... did Master Uechi do FOUR double arm thrusts ?
