@Missy31393 You must take each technique out of the kata and practice it's "Bunkai" with a partner attacking you. In many cases, the technique may be modified to use it as an actual combat technique. The kata as you see here is merely a way of cataloging the techniques so they can be remembered quickly.

Learnt this kata today with simon Oliver. Very nice old kata. Taught to the women by konishi wife.. Women stance is different. Bunkai is really affective.

@elmaninja it has nothing to do with your gender. if you look at the bunkai you'll see that these are basic techniques to get your arms free. it fits to BOTH genders.

Haven't seen this Kata before, but the moves were executed very finely.

Very interesting kata. It looks to have the elements of several other different Goju kata within it.
