As I wrote before, my wife and I are working on an article series about Okinawan Karate. Actually, we are working on two series, but that is something for the future. For now, let’s focus on the first planned series.
In my first article, I introduced a “rare” obituary written by Hanashiro Chōmo for his friend Yabu Kentsū. In my second article, I delve deeply into the Kata Jion, which is, for me, a very important Kata for understanding the Karate of Yabu Kentsū more deeply. We could even call it the “key” Kata. However, according to Yabu’s teaching method, it should probably be placed between Naihanchi and Gojūshiho.
Can anyone guess what the third article will cover?
