Saifa - Morio Higaonna

Saifa Okinawan Goju Ryu Kata
Saifa, which translates to "Smash and Tear," is one of the classic katas in Okinawan Goju Ryu Karate. This kata combines basic and advanced techniques to develop a practitioner's power, speed, and precision.
Saifa (砕破): "Sai" means to smash, and "fa" means to tear. This kata emphasizes quick, powerful movements designed to overwhelm and neutralize an opponent swiftly.
Chōjun Miyagi Sensei, the founder of Goju Ryu Karate, incorporated techniques into Saifa that focus on close-range combat, leveraging both offensive and defensive maneuvers. This kata teaches practitioners to generate power from the hips and use circular movements to deflect and counterattack effectively.
