Good! More training Jason,

Milk for babes, strong meat for adults... and this one's a veritable carnivorous banquet! Tensho kata is mawashi uke 'unpacked' (and so, i'm increasingly convinced, is kururunfa; and consider the emphasis on mawashi uke in Suparinpei ). Kancho Oyama considered Tensho the most advanced kata, and his 'circle and point' theory emerged from his study of the relationship between Tensho and mawashi uke. I've gained more than a few bunkai insights over the past decades from using Tensho and mawashi uke as a 'rosetta stone' for decoding the other kaishu kata... especially when using kakie as the 'launch platform', and conceiving kata as 'shadow grappling/tuite' rather that mere 'shadow boxing/striking' (a major disadvantage of the ascendancy of sport karate and the consequent eisegetic misinterpretation of kata). The hard-won insights you so generously provide in this clip would have been considered 'inner-door' secrets (okuden) not too long ago. How fortunate the GRKC community. Kudos, sir!.

I like the look of surprise or satisfaction on your face when you performed the formal end of Sepai on Brian's head, and then solo, afterwards. You said that it isn't spoken about but the movements are there [in the kata]. I had a similar feeling when I read the rules of kata,as passed on by Toguchi Sensei. The one that goes: Every movement in kata is significant and is to be used in application. So one of the old masters would be in agreement with you and your approach to studying kata movements. And I was nodding enthusiastically as you were performing the movements. I think I was seeing a connection that I hadn't seen before.

This was a great video. Something my sensei likes to hammer home is where the under-hand starts. He stresses that it shouldn't just be at the elbow, but also further up at the armpit, so that if you are very close range and grappling, you are covering for a potential ribs/armpit strike. I also find it changes the timing slightly and helped me encourage my elbows to come down at the end. Like you said at the start of the video, lots of different variations for the same movements! Its one of my favourite things in Goju Ryu.

We have a few moves that are just very refined king fu I do think as a karate ka it’s on my to acknowledge that our source and roots are Chinese Arts, and not Japanese , as so many people believe I’m lucky to have had a fantastic Childhood training karate under more open minded Sensei / Sifu. Sadly much of our competition is because of success and the money . This was a place of animosity sadly

Mawashi Uke is the two main blocking circles in karate combined. In sparring you follow the arm back into his guard/ grabbing him on the downward motion you give the others arm while he retracs it. (The deciving retraction of the m.u. before reaching out in kata may come from push hand situations and makes it harder to realize it's fundamental meaning.) To stop after redirecting the attacking arm a little is quite stupid, but we black belts still do it. Start pulling back your punches in every kihon kumite and stick with your uke to it and you will see, that even the tettsui of heian shodan/pinan nidan is a fully executed age uke. Hikite is a way to get your arm out of his kakie from (not) normal circling randori uke or resisting his two on one pull after a catch.

Or for clinching and pulling in two different zones ( again high and low ) to de stabilise your opponent I loved how Chinen Sensei demonstrated all his karate, his kata had flair and his Bunkai went beyond move block strike.

The way Brian bows is not the best way to bow. In fact in Japan it is seen as very impolite and disrespectful to maintain eyecontact while bowing as it sends out the message "I don't trust you, so I keep an eye on you." And despite not practising Goju Ryu myself (I am at home in Shorin Ryu), I can find some interesting insights as Mawashi Uke / Tora Guchi also appears in some Kata of Shorin Ryu (such as Kusanku, Jitte, Aragaki Sochin).
