Kururunfa

Kururunfa is one of the original Kata from Ryu Ru Ko, Sensei taught to him while in China and was handed down to Kanryo Higaonna, Sensei and on to Chojun Miyagi, Sensei creator of Gojuryu and Kenwa Mabuni, Sensei creator of Shito Ryu. The original creator of this kata is unknown. The many movements in Kururunfa include shifting the body or evasive maneuvers and are very quick followed by heavy movements (hard followed by soft) similar to Seisan and a wide variety of other motions (many open hand) both attacking and defending or trapping. Kururunfa also utilizes a combination coordinated with hip movements. Kururunfa teaches exceptional balance and transitions from one stance to another. Its close in hooking blocks (Kakete) and grappling maneuvers are reminiscent of Seipai. This is the second to the highest of all Naha-te kata.

I went to a seminar and learned this kata [Kai Kuniyuki, Sensei] I believe his organization is named Nippon Budoin Seibukan, but I have two teachers one in Okinawan Karate & one in just Goju-ryu. **Basically I try to implement all of their teachings into one kata (i.e. Like my other video of Seiyunchin)**

Thank you for the comment

Yes, your flow and hand positions need some work. Check out my page and watch Chinen sensei do it slow motion in his kata clips (part #3)

I agree my flow does need a little bit of work. But if you could show me which parts of my kata need work (the hand position).

Thank you for the feedback

how long does one train in okinwan style to learn vital point strikes

Very Chinese.

Bravo on your kata. I have to say, very sharp, very fluid. This is also a very pure form of Kururunfa.

Kudos.

could you tell what version of kururunfa this is? It is neither jundokan nor iogkf, right?
