Wando (Wanduan or Wandoh) Kata

Esta es la Kata Wando en la versión del Shito-ryu, muy similar a la forma practicada en algunas escuelas de Shorin-ryu y con semejanzas interesantes a la forma china llamada Kang Zang Tsou.

This Kata is Wando in version Shito-ryu, very similar to Shorin-ryu version and the chinese form named Kang Zang Tsou.

FYI, this is Richard Kim's version of Wando/Wanduan exactly as it appears in my mid-1980's publication, "Classical Kata of Okinawan Karate." It is altered from the original version he learned in 1957 from Kinjo Hiroshi.

This is correct, in the Shito-ryu this Kata is practice in the same form on this video.

This version is a compilation, ne? Elements of Goju-Ryu (i.e. Suparinpei, Sanseru, Seisan,Saifa, are all superimposed over this form.--Actually with elements of Pinan, and Chinto thrown in as well. Is this simply a McCarthy reconstructed kata? Whatever the case, nice performance.

[uchinadi]

Thanks, this form is practiced for Itosu-kai members for other sects of Shito-ryu too and Shorinji-ryu karatekas...

Hanshi McCarthy was student of Richard Kim of Shorinji-ryu Karate-do

There seem to be many versions of Wando/Wandoh kata. I learned Kyoshi Diliberto's version of Wando kata and I learned Sensei Ken Tallack's version of Wando at his seminar.

While very similar, this version is not identical to the versions (at least 2) taught in Northern California (Osensei Kim's region. The ending in particular is different, perhaps that's the Goju influence some of the other commenters are referring to (looks like Mantis style to me though...)

[SithV1]

Oh I see. The kata is very fluid too.

[alanwolf1]

From what I remember there are a few styles that do a similar kata to this one which would suggest that it wasn't a reconstruction but I could be wrong, I notice you have a link to a Wando kata which is very interesting, any background/history on your version of the kata? In parts it reminded me of one of the Chito Ryu Kata Niseishi.
