Download or read book Shorin-ryu Karate - Kata 2 written by Emanuel Giordano and published by . This book was released on 2020-12-05 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shorin-ryu is the oldest existing style of Karate, from which modern Japanese styles such as Shotokan, Shito-ryu, Wado-ryu, etc. are also derived. If you were to define Shorin-ryu with a single word, this would be "natural", since it is a style based on principles and natural movements for the human body, applicable by anyone in any situation, regardless of age, size and sex. In this book, Master 4th dan Emanuel Giordano shows the photo by photo execution of the kata: Kusanku Sho; Chinto; Koryu Passai; Gojushiho; Kihon kata yon, go and roku. Each kata series is preceded by a historical and technical introduction. Master Emanuel Giordano, already author of several books and articles related to Okinawa Karate, teaches Shorin-ryu mainly in Piedmont, and since 2013 he has been going to Okinawa every year, where he studies the Shidokan Shorin-ryu with his Master, Maeshiro Morinobu sensei, and with members of the musei juku dojo and of the honbu dojo. Emanuel Giordano is also the founder and manager of Okinawa Karate Kenkyukai, the Italian and european study group of Okinawa Karate; is national referent for Okinawan Traditional Karate at CSEN, and has excellent relations with Okinawan institutions.
Book Synopsis Okinawan Karate: Teachers, Styles & Secret Techniques, Revised & Expanded Second Edition: Master Version by : Mark D Bishop
Download or read book Okinawan Karate: Teachers, Styles & Secret Techniques, Revised & Expanded Second Edition: Master Version written by Mark D Bishop and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2019-02-20 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Progression is a positive trait, as long as one keeps in touch with the past and has a staple backdrop to focus or fall back on. Although the Revised Expanded Third Edition contains all the wording and photographs that are reproduced in both the first edition, as well as this Revised and Expanded Second Edition, it comparatively represents a step into what was, for these latter two books, the future. The year 2019, in which I am writing this foreword, represents respectively 30 years and 20 years into the future since the publication of these two books, so I think this faithful reproduction of the Master Version by Q&I Publications is well timed. For some readers it might bring about nostalgia, for others it might be an eye-opener into a world that is not always truthfully represented, due to commercial or other reasons. For the teachers who I interviewed and have been embodied herein, I hope this Master Version will remain a testament into how they wished to be represented for time immemorial.

Download or read book Bushi-Jutsu written by Darren Westwood and published by Summersdale Martial Arts. This book was released on 2004-08 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bushi-Jutsu, The Science of the Warrior bridges the gap between the kata of old Okinawa, following the influence of the feudal Japanese militia and that which is taught in today's dojo as 'effective' self-defence. The distressing reality, for most kata bunkai students, is that there is very little 'real' application in the world today, outside Japan. That which is taught as 'bunkai' tends to be Monkey See - Monkey Do - very few really understand the highly technical and effective nature of this 'secret' part of karate. This book doesn't just uncover the brutal nature of karate kata application, it literally rips the shroud of secrecy from around it and cleaves the mystery from it.
