  • It's almost the same kata called Matayoshi-no-sai-dai-ni, but with a different name...good video !! thank you

  • May very well be the same, but since Matayoshi Shinpo changed his kata over time, the name wouldn't tell whether it was the one taught in the early '70's or one Matayoshi sensei was teaching in the '90's before he died.

see all

  • Ah, my apologies, I misinterpreted the topic of the conversation. You are absolutely right, I've seen many a kata marked down because of not returning to starting point.

  • @Terriss0421 They can return to starting point, but it is not required that a kata does this (at least not in Uechi Ryu) - in competitions, some judges don't know this and will marked down contestants that don't end where they started, especially if they are used to judging only Japanese forms.

  • Shorin-ryu katas always return to starting point. Some Okinawan Go-ju katas return to starting point (Sanchin, Gekesai, Chinto are the only ones coming to mind).

  • Not just kobudo - Okinawan karate doesn't bother with returning to the starting point, since this, too, is for combat, not physical fitness. Karate styles created in Japan are different than their Okinawan origins.

  • Kobudo kata is not as "strict" as karate kata in the sense of starting and finishing on the same spot. Properly executing the different ma-ai for blocks and strikes in kobudo will result in different length of steps in footwork. This will offset the finish position.

  • i did this Kata today its hard when u first do it =(

  • thats the reason u have three of them

  • Not "throwing away", throwing *at* something, like an opponent's foot - it's in his mind, you just can't see it.
