@Jax1108 - in what system were you taught this? And from what art and style is this form? Just curious.

@MachinShin0000 hey your right! but i gota question? What in Japanese Karate means "Small Pine Forest"?

[Jax1108]

Anyone know what this kata is called? I was taught one very similar called "Burning Hands" and I am trying to remember it :(

[MachinShin0000]

@FTWpwnCAKES your sensei is wrong. Until the late 1800's/early 1900's, the word "karate" means "china hand", but due to the anti-china climate in japan at that time, a bigtime martial arts master slightly changed the kanji symbol from 'china' to 'empty' while keeping the pronounciation mostly the same( a tweak in the phonetics) so that the art could be called "empty hand", and then he could market it as a new japan-made martial art.

@HuoXingC yah the take points off if your not in the same spot as you started

[FTWpwnCAKES]

i am taking shurin kempo and we learn both kung fu styles and karate styles

really the only difference that my sensai says, is that in karate, they only changed one position in a kata to make it from "open hand"(kung fu) to empty hand(karate)

that and they changed the names of the moves and such

but really, like randys5 said, they are both umbrella terms for hundreds of different styles

so, your choice, i recomend doing some research on which one you want to learn

Many schools teach Karate and Jujitsu together. Both arts are japanese. Karate derived from southern White crane kung fu and branched out in a few other styles. Karate is very tense and rigid. They focus on power strikes and muscular power. Kyokushin karate and Shotokan are famous for its full-contact and hard conditioning. Kung fu is an umberalla terms for hundreds of different Chinese martial arts styles. This is a very complicated subject, so I will PM you.
