  • Well performed kata!

  • Well so I supose here, in Argentina, we write it as "Shion" but we pronounce it just like everybody...Jion (or maybe is my mistake...so I'm sorry!).

    Thanks for your comments!

  • I'm from Puerto Rico, and Spanish is my first language, and we pronounce it "Jion" not Shion. Others in latin america that I know also pronounce it "Jion", so the language cannot be the reason. This is the only country/school that I have heard pronounces it "Shion". I'm not criticizing at all, nor am I implying wrongness or correctness, I'm just saying that the Spanish language is not the reason, it must be something else, I would like to find out myself for my own knowledge. Anyone?

  • ha ha that's true!

    Have a nice day

  • becasuse here, we speak spanish, so we write it like this.

    Thanks to wisit it

  • Haha, yes you are right, I do think too much.

  • Haha.. No no.. that s how they pronounce Ji.... U think too much my friend

  • This is a great version of the kata, I totally agree that the Japanese really lost the essence behind this one, when the applications are truely understood it really is a very effective method of self defence.

  • Why Shion? Well Shi is a more Chinese way of pronoucing the character for 10 which is a cross "+", Ji (Ju) is more Japanese, I guess the south Americans got a more authentic kata name as well as kata performance. The "+" character also refers to a form or kata, the term Jion may just mean that it is a pattern done in the shape of the letter I as in the Hung Gar form "Taming the tiger in an I pattern".

  • From what I can see Jion temple is actually in Japan, I never went along with Pat McCarthy's translations for the names of kata, this kata looks more more like Canton Tiger fist that enything else i.e Hung Gar.
