Kata Channan and Kata Shintai

What we did on Tuesday 29 May 2012


Continued with our programme of examining the successive applicationjs for Kata Channan.  Studied moves 14-15 (knee strike); 17-18 (low bridge and forearm smash); 19 and 22 (low bridge / back-fist); 20 and 23 (bow hand - palm heel and back wrist).   This means that we have explored twelve of the fifteen basic applications of the form.  I am very pleased with the progress being made on this study.


My deadline for completing the study of tornado hand techniques, trajectories, curves, spiralling and looping is 11 June 2012, that is six months since beginning the process.  It looks as if I will meet this target as  have now created a form (Kata Shintai) that embodies (I think) all the principles and concepts that have been revealed from the study.  I intend spending the next week practising the form intensively with a view to establishing a sound format and revealing any inconsistencies.
