The relaxation is an expression of marrying Go and Ju at the right time. Certainly the movements ideally with express Muchimi, Chinkuchi, Chirunochanchan.
I really love your bunkais, but I have many doubts. For example, why you start the bunkai with something that looks like an hiki uke, when the kata opens with an age uke? Why having different forms in kata when only one is actually used? Thank you in advance for your reply.
Good question. "Age" uke is really a misnomer. There are no age uke in the koryu kata of goju. In short, there is no difference between hiki uke and age uke, the mechanics are exactly the same.
Wow! You are opening the gates of a new universe for me. I must apologize for my ignorance, but I don't know what a koryu kata is. I'm going to google it, but I fear that I could stumble upon some inaccurate informations. Could you please explain me the meaning of "koryu kata"? I know I'm flooding you with questions, but I can't find the answers anywhere else, because we have standard IOGKF training in my dojo. The things you are telling me are utterly new for me and quench the thirst for effectiveness in kata applications. I am really happy to be one of your subscribers.
Koryu simply translated means the "old style", or in this case not gekisai kata (or Tensho for that matter). I'm happy to answer any questions if I can.
nice I like how the sticky hands mirror wing chun drills
I don't know wing chun but it's always interesting to see commonalities in the martial arts.
It's not an accident, Okinawan Karate comes from/influenced by Shaolin kung fu( Five Ancestor fist, monk fist boxing to name two)
I really like the slow fast action done in a very relaxed way. Is there a term for this action in Japanese? Muchimi?

Thank you.
