Part of Shitoryu Karate, Heian Shodan Kata. From Hidari Moto Dachi with Chudan Migi Yoko Uke, followed by Migi Oi Mae Geri. Keep your Seichusen, Center Axis Line, straight throughout the movement. Avoid making an unnecessarily large movement with the right hand during Yoko Uke. Follow the dotted line directly in front of your chest, while pulling the opposite hand (Hikite) quickly and firmly to the side. Then execute Migi Mae Geri Chudan along the same straight line. As shown in the photo, the kicking leg should travel directly under the right arm, with the arm, knee, and kicking leg aligned along the same forward line. #shitoryu #shitokai #kata #heian #糸東会 #糸東流 #空手道

You can enhance your karate movements by incorporating overload training with weights. This approach not only improves your strength and endurance but also supplements your overall Karate practice, leading to more powerful and effective techniques. #gymshark #shitoryu #Karate #糸東会 #糸東流 #空手道

“Once you acquire true wisdom and knowledge in Karatedo, it now becomes your responsibility to share it”. ~ A.Tanzadeh

Training using overloads, such as wearing wrist weights, has various advantages for improving physical fitness, strength, and speed in hand movements. One of the most significant benefits is the incremental resistance it provides, which is necessary for increasing muscle strength and endurance. When muscles face higher resistance, they adapt by becoming stronger and more resilient. This process, called as hypertrophy, results in greater muscle mass and better muscular endurance, which can improve performance in a variety of physical activities as well as karate arms techniques. #shitoryu #Karate #karatedo #糸東流 #空手道 #空手

Heian Yondan, 平安四段, in Shitoryu Karatedo develops mobility, balance, coordination, directional control, and smooth transition from defense to counterattack. The kata places strong emphasis on Neko Ashi Dachi, while Kosa Dachi plays an important role in its transitional movements and changes of direction. Its techniques include Kote Uke, Hiji Sasae Uke, Sukui Uke, Kosa Uke, Shuto Uke, kicks, Hiji Ate, and Hiza Geri. Heian Yondan also develops the coordinated use of both hands, where one hand receives or controls while the other prepares or attacks. The rhythm changes between controlled movement and sharp Kime, helping the practitioner develop relaxation, acceleration, timing, and continuous technique. Overall, Heian Yondan teaches the karateka to receive, control, reposition, and counter with mobility, balance, and efficient body movement. #平安四段 #shitokai #shitoryu #糸東会 #糸東流 #空手道

Bassai Dai (拔塞大) Bassai Dai captures the sharp, decisive spirit of Shuri-te, where movement is controlled yet explosive, and each technique expresses a sudden breakthrough against pressure. Its rhythm shifts between composed readiness and immediate action, reflecting a mind that reads the moment and responds without hesitation. A strong sense of strategy runs throughout the kata, as each movement creates a path forward with precision, timing, and clear intent. #拔塞大 #bassaidai #糸東会 #糸東流 #shitoryu #日本空手

Juroku (十 六) Kata Juroku «Sixteen», the word Juroku literally means ‘16’. This kata was made in the year of Showa 16, so it was named juroku’16’ in Japanese. There is no other meaning to this kata. It is a relatively modern kata developed by Kenwa Mabuni. There are not many moves in this kata, but you will see the five principles of Shitoryu blocking system “Uke no Go Gensoku” in this kata. This kata also develops basic principles of “Tenshin-Happo” attack and defense. #jurokukata #kenwamabuni #shitokai #shitoryu #糸東会 #糸東流

By incorporating the arm rotator machine into your workout routine alongside your karate sessions, you can achieve stronger, more stable shoulders, enhancing forearm muscle development. This contributes to overall fitness and muscular development, helping to build and tone the arm and shoulder muscles. Enhanced forearm strength can lead to improved performance and endurance. Regular use of the machine can also increase the endurance of the forearm muscles, enabling longer periods of activity without fatigue. #workout #空手の練習 #糸東流 #空手道

Wanshū (ワンシュー, also 汪輯) The name Wanshū (汪輯) means "Wang's Series (or Form)" and refers to the diplomat Wang (1621 – 1689). Wang was the leader of a large ambassadorial mission from China, sent by the Qing government in 1683 to the village of Tomari. The Wanshū kata was either created by Wang or composed by his students and named in tribute to him. There are two major versions of Wanshū kata: one taught by Master Ankō Itosu and one practiced and introduced in the Tomari region. The Wanshū kata shown in this video is considered an Itosu-kei kata, meaning it was either created or primarily passed down by Ankō Itosu, although its origins are in Tomari-te. Wanshū is also translated as "Oar in Deep Water," which may refer to the movements in which the karate-ka lunges in for an attack and quickly leaps away, like an oar plunged deep into the water and quickly emerging as the stroke is completed. #wanshu #汪輯 #ワンシュー #shitoryu #Karate #糸東会 #糸東流 #空手道 #日本空手

Matsumura Rohai (松村鷺牌) Matsumura Rohai is an old kata created by Matsumura Sokon, the chief martial arts instructor to the Ryukyu Kingdom in the 19th century. Preserved in Shito-ryu and certain Shorin-ryu lineages, it reflects the influence of Tomari-te techniques within the Shuri-te tradition. The name Rohai is often interpreted as “vision of a heron,” referring to the kata’s signature one-leg stances and upright posture, which demand exceptional balance, precision, and timing. Distinct from the Tomari master Matsumora Kosaku’s version, Matsumura Rohai is characterized by its measured rhythm, subtle changes in direction, and defensive counterattacks. The kata emphasizes stability in single-leg postures and sharp control in arm techniques. #rohaikata #shitoryu #糸東会 #糸東流 #空手道 #糸東流

Proper arm positioning plays an important role in the effectiveness and efficiency of karate techniques. Correct alignment of the shoulders, elbows, wrists, and hands creates stronger body connection, better stability, greater speed, and more effective transfer of power. Proper positioning also reduces unnecessary muscular tension and allows the movement to work naturally with the body. From both mechanical and physical perspectives, correct structure improves the quality, control, and effectiveness of karate kihon. #shitoryu #糸東流空手道 #沖縄空手 #karatedo #糸東会 #糸東流 #空手道 #糸東流
