| Tsuki-naka kata and applications – PART 1 (Patrick McCarthy hanshi) |
| In this seminar event, Patrick McCarthy Hanshi, founder of Koryu Uchinadi, teaches the first part of the kata “Tsuki-naka” [穿心中型 – Chuan Xin Zhong Xing in Mandarine Chinese] and associated principles and applications (bunkai and oyowaza). Patrick sensei learned this kata in Fujian in 1991 when he first visited Yongchun Village. “I had a passion to learn Pan-lineage Crane fist; I learned this along with Happoren and Nepai” This kata is rich in applications utilising the body dynamics of Okinawan karate for close in receiving, trapping, grappling and striking. Participation fee is 3000 yen payable in advance. Live participation is limited to 100 (zoom restriction) but the recording will also be available on demand afterwards. Please register for access. |
