I have been teaching myself by watching this video and it is superb. Seipai is new to me, and the breakdown is perfect for learning. It's a nice touch to include some of the bunkai in a subframe as it is being done. I am a brown belt from Canada. Chimo!

I am grateful for this presentation. I am learning daily some aspects I was not even aware of. Thank you Sensei.

I keep revisiting this presentation because of the insights shared which are helping me follow through the kata for my training. Thank you Sensei.

Sepai is an interesting kata in that it has a number of unusual techniques including one that uses the unique use of a fist shaped like it would be when one knocks on the door. It seems to be of Chinese origin meaning 18 hands. When performing this kata be prepared to do a lot of circular arm movements and body twisting. Keep up the great work Che Sensei.

It’s really unusual watching these videos because at my Dojo we are taught to do the Katas relatively fast to save time. So watching the katas at the slow timing that is commonly used seems really abnormal but is good to watch.

Ah, thank you, Sensei! Suparinpei is a massive undertaking - just the sheer length and possible variations means an hour long video, even after editing. Also, Ché feels he is not really senior enough to be commenting and teaching this kata, even though he has been doing it a long time. We hope to train with some seniors to gain more knowledge and confidence before we tackle it. But as we say in SA: one day is one day!

Seipai, a dark side of sanseru. Or two seipais make one sanseru. Or sanchin and seisan make the black jack. Or suparimpei divided by sanchin is sanseru yet again. So enough of maths here. :)

@@GojuRyuKarateCentre : ​ on a serious note, Goju-ruy is a variation of Baihe-quan in a lineage of Liu Long-gong (Ryu Ruko), to compare to Shu Shiwa's which is Uechi-ryu now. Hence both have original 3, 13, 36 steps/forms of movements in their kata. As to sanchin, three is obvious in Baihe-quan: 1) natural thrust (chishi position 1, when you hold it vertically in extended hand); 2) middle block (chishi position 2, when bent in elbow and the weight twists your forearm inside out); 3) a natural fence reaction with palms facing forward (meh, said Okinawans and left only two in sanchin-gata doing it also one-handed because it's not Fujian and they are all brave and tough like archats from Shorin-ryu). Seisan is for public demonstration: hence 3 + 10 (no more fingers to count anyway to add something to sanchin). Sanseru is also 3 (begins with sanchin-gata) + 10 like in seisan and... oh, they said in the back alleys of Fuzhou, let's double because it will be main kata, lol! Suparimpei or pechurin, it's 100 (a lot...) and sometimes these 8 extra because crane kung-fu has a babuilian taolu/kata, too. Chojun Miyagi for his Goju-ryu made 18 (seipai) as a half of sanseru (because seisan is a dark, black, soft, ju, yin side of sanseru, which is agressive, punchy, hard, go, yang, and like saifa is a travel-size kururumfa). Oh, there was rokkishu (6 forms of palms) which is made to tensho because students had problems with math (Jundokan version makes it back to 6 initial forms while other Ryuha interpretations count to 7, 8 etc. which is lame (you may find some their "missed" palms in seisan, too). But what do I know. Mystics and waxing poetic about saints, holly numbers, legendary archats, Buddhism and other sanctuary caca de torro sound more "solid" when explaining numbering, of course. :)

12 kata, 6 pairs, maybe? My first clear reference to the possible meaning of the numbers were from the Bubishi. 108 sins, meridian points, etc etc Numbers seem to play a large role in the martial arts culture - perhaps understanding that will help my dumb ass understand a tiny bit more 🤣
