Oneness - Part 1 Karate, Kata, Kosonken, Techniques, Training
|
My training on Okinawa has opened up a totally new dimension of understanding in karate techniques. As we all know, karate derived from Chinese kung-fu. Old grand masters of various Okinawan schools went to China to learn. When they brought back the knowledge, they blended what they had learned from China into their aboriginal martial arts and became karate during the mid of last century.
I learned about Ikyuro or oneness or moving stance / striking together at the same time for deep impact. Locking at specific joints and contraction of muscles at specific areas during striking is essential to generate sharper and more powerful impact. This has to be performed with good stance.

Adrian Senpai and students from Nagahama Shibu Dojo performed together for Toyama Sensei (Judan Hanshi) in Shubukan (修武館) Dojo at Zakimi.
Adrian Senpai is the first Malaysian to visit Uechi-Ryu Zankai’s Honbu Dojo at Zakimi. He was thrilled by his visit and saw for himself his own eyes a typical traditional Okinawan karate-do dojo and the legendary Toyama Seiko Sensei, Judan (10th dan) Hanshi.
This is Adrian’s second visit to Zakimi dojo during his first visit to Okinawa. His performance also received approval from Toyama Sensei to bring Uechi-Ryu Zankai knowledge back to Malaysia and spread and preserve the ancient arts of Uechi-Ryu empty hand.
