  • Wow i have finally found a name for this kata, ive been practicing it for over a year now, and never got its full name, i hope this is the name of it.

  • If you understand the the Geography and the difference between Okinawan Language and Japanese,there are two small islands in the Est China Sea between Okinawa and the mainland. One is Hama Higa (Higa's Beach), and Tsuken, but the Okinawan pronunciation is "Chikin". Suna means "sand and Kakeru is the verb - to cover. Hence, Cover with Sand Kata from Chikin Island. So you stab the tip of the oar in the sand and flick it in the face of the oponent and attack! Who taught you this Kata?

  • dude this can kill someone in the face

  • Are you sure I thought SunaKake meant to hook the sand.

  • That makes sense thank you for taking the time explaining the origins of this Kata. Katherine Loukopoulos taught me this Kata, and my teacher James Thompson helped me interpret it. We are from Bubishi-Do Organization.

    We study Matsubayashi Shorin Ryu.
