The Karate of Hanashiro Chōmo Sensei

I believe now is the best time to talk about one of my future projects.

Last year, we were fortunate to have the opportunity to interview Higa Kiyohiko Sensei, a Mago-deshi of Hanashiro Chōmo. He shared a great deal of valuable information with us and also allowed me to learn some of Hanashiro Sensei’s kata.

This interview and training have so far served as the foundation for the Jion article and will also be referenced in many future articles.

Of course, it should be clear that the karate of Yabu Kentsū and Hanashiro Chōmo is very similar in many aspects.

The full interview with Higa Kiyohiro will be published in one of the upcoming issues of Toshiya. Additionally, there are plans to discuss it in a future issue of Gekkan Hiden.
