This is one of the requirements for the 10th kyu (technically still a white belt, but with a yellow stripe) in Pwang Gai Noon Ryu (Japanese name: Han Ko Nan Ryu) form of Okinawan Karate.

Ma'am

Is this the Pagai noon Ryu that was founded by Mr. Itokazu and Mr. Kinjo who both trained under Mr. Kanyei Uechi (Uechi Ryu Karate Do)? And if not what is the lineage of this Pagainoon. Thank you for your time. Osu

@1banryukyu Shihan trained under Kinjo Takashi Sensei, who trained under Uechi Kanei Sensei. There are several "offshoots" of Uechi Ryu, Pwang Gai Noon/Pangainoon being the one considered closest to the Chinese origin.

@hempev

Thank you for your reply. If I understand this Pagai Noon Ryu lineage, Mr. Shu Shi Wa taught Mr. Uechi Kanbun who taught his (1st) son Uechi Kanyei who then taught Mr. Kinjo Takashi (who in 1978 started this offshoot of Uechi Ryu that also has Kobudo in it) who then taught Ms. Bolz(who is the Karateka on this video)? Did Ms. Bolz train in Okinawa Ken, Japan? Osu

@1banryukyu She was an interpreter in Japan and had already received sho dan (I don't know if any higher) in wado ryu while living in Kochi, then later went to Naha to train with Kinjo Sensei. Our karate class does not do kobudo, since that school is through Matayoshi Sensei -- we have kobudo separately; if you look at my other videos, you will see Shihan Nishiuchi teaching this.

I'm curious...who is the instructor on these videos?

Shihan Bolz

I know a number of Sho Dans (I am a mere 4th kyu myself) and none of them would be so rude. Although our style is quite different, I can see that she is very powerful. While you are laughing at her expression, she would be ripping you to shreds. The people who are so critical, especially those with off-topic criticisms, should ask themselves if they are reacting this way because the sensei is female.

Thanks to hempev for posting this, and to the sensei for her impressive demonstration. :)

Sensei Bolz is quite strong and skilled. She appears, at times, to be "pushing" the strikes not letting them "flow". There is a slight forward motion of her head when she strikes. There are those who would argue that it is better to eliminate such excess head movement. Sensei Bolz brings her striking hand very far across before chambering. Some would state that striking hand should not extend so far. These comments are no more than observations.

Her video would be fruitful for many Uechika.

@hempev Thank you for helping me get a better understanding of the diaspora of Okinawan Karate from Okinawa to the rest of the world. Osu

Movement is very intricate and detailed. Lot of information, I can see why Uechi Ryu only has eight kata. OSU!

[hempev]

She may have done that in the past, but she is too busy with her acupuncture clinic to do that - all her students come to the dojo. These videos are for current students and for those in another martial art or karate school to get an idea of an Okinawan form.

The kata hojoundo were created as an intermediate step between hojoundo and kata, and allow you to practice moves to both left and right.
