3.SANCHIN KATA by MORIO HIGAONNA
Sanchin "Three Battles or Conflicts" Sanchin translates as "3 Battles" or "3 Conflicts". This has many meanings. First it refers to the struggle to control the body under physical fatigue. With fatigue the mind begins to lose focus and thus the spirit begins to diminsh as well. Therefore Sanchin develops discipline, determination, focus, perserverance and other mental attributes. The Chinese refer to this as Shen (spirit), Shin (mind) and Li (body). Another possible interpretation refers to the "Three Burners" of the body as decribed in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). One of two "heishu " Kata of Goju-Ryu, Sanchin is probably the most misunderstood Kata in all of Karate. In contrast, it is probably the single most valuable training exercise in Goju-Ryu. Like the other Kata of Goju-Ryu, Sanchin ( Samm Chien in Chinese) can be found in several Chinese arts, particulary the southern styles including four styles of Crane Boxing, Dragon Boxing, Tiger Boxing, Lion Boxing, Dog or Ground Boxing and Monk Fist. Sanchin has such aspects as deep, diaphramatic breathing found in many internal arts as well as external attributes like mechanical alignment and muscular strength. Because many martial artists have little or no understanding of the true history and nature of the Chinese arts from which Okinawan Goju-Ryu has its roots, Sanchin has become little more than an isometric form performed with dangerous tension and improper breathing techniques.

5.SEIYUNCHIN KATA by MORIO HIGAONNA
Seiyunchin "Control, Suppress and Pull" The name Seiunchin implies the use of techniques to off balance, throw and grapple. It is this understanding that imparts the original intentions of the Kata of Naha-te before the sport alignment of modern Karate. Seiyunchin contains close-quartered striking, sweeps, take-downs and throws. Though the Kata itself is void of kicks, many practitioners make the grave mistake by missing the opportunity to apply any leg technique. Though almost invisible to the untrained eye, the subtleness of "ashi barai" and "suri ashi" can represent footsweeps, parries and traps. www.MIYAGIDOJO.net

Shotokan Karate - Kata Unsu (M. Nakayama)
www.shirosaikarate.com - discounted karate equipment Masatoshi Nakayama Sensei was born in Yamaguchi Prefecture Honshu Japan in 1913. In 1937 he graduated from Takushoko University and went to Peking to study Chinese. Whilst there he studied various styles of Chinese fighting. He was a prominent student of Master Funakoshi Gichin, the Father of Modern Karate Do and for some 27 years, until Funakoshi's death in 1957, he closely associated with the master assisting him with instruction and demonstrations. In doing so, he took a unique opportunity to assimilate not only the physical techniques, but also the philosophical aspect of Karate-do from the pre-eminent authority. When Funakoshi Sensei passed away, Nakayama Sensei became the 2nd Chief Instructor of the JKA and in turn, passed this knowledge on to his students. He was responsible for the global dissemination of Karate throughout the 1960's and 1970's where graduates of his elite Instructor Program were allocated assignments to establish and develop Karate overseas. Nakayama Sensei is also credited with setting up the rules of Shiai (competition). At the time, (the late 1950's) the move to introduce a competitive aspect to a fighting art was controversial, however it was done under the supervision of Master Funakoshi who was initially very resistant to the idea of competition in any form, feeling that it could be contradictory to the true nature of Karate-do, and liable to cause students to lose focus on what was <b>...</b>
4.SAIFA KATA by MORIO HIGAONNA
Saifa "To Smash and Tear to Pieces" Saifa is the first of the classical combative Kata taught in Goju-Ryu. Goju-Ryu's Kata origins come from the martial arts taught in the Fuzhou area of southern China, largely Crane and Xingyi/Baqua as well as other internal and external martial arts. Kanryo Higaonna Sensei was taught this Kata, along with the other Kata of Goju-Ryu, while he studied in China from 1863-1881 under the direction of RuRuKo ( Xie Zhong Xiang in Chinese) and others. These Kata and martial strategies would become the basis of the the quanfa of Higaonna Sensei, which later Miyagi Sensei would call Goju-Ryu. From an understanding of the grappling and strking techniques of this Kata, Saifa can be interpreted to mean grabbing and tearing of tissue in close-quartered combat. www.MIYAGIDOJO.net

11.SUPARINPEI KATA by MORIO HIGAONNA
Suparinpei (Pechurin) "108 hands" Suparinpei is the most advanced Kata in Goju-Ryu. It contains the greatest number of techniques and variations. Suparinpei is deceptive in that it appears simple in execution but when combined with transitions and changing tempos, it is only surpassed by Sanchin in technical difficulty and understanding. Once again, the number "108" is suggested to have origins in Buddhism and can represent the "108 sins of man". On the Chinese New Year, temple bells are rung 108 times to "drive away the evils of man". It is believed these named associations with Buddhism is based upon the lack of factual knowledge of the true nature of these quan. www.MIYAGIDOJO.net

Kata 3N1-10 Camera Sling Bag / Backpack
Here is a video tour of the 3N1-10 bag which is the small version of the 3N1 series of bags from Kata. This is the best camera sling bag I've been able to find. There are several videos out there showing the medium size 3N1-20 bag but none showing the smaller 3N1-10. So I'm providing this video so anyone who is interested in this bag can compare the two sizes.

Heian Nidan - Shotokan Karate
Themost popular image associated with kata is that of a karate practitioner performing a series of punches and kicks in the air. The kata are executed as a specified series of approximately 20 to 70 moves, generally with stepping and turning, while attempting to maintain perfect form. There are perhaps 100 kata across the various forms of karate, each with many minor variations. The number of moves in a kata may be referred to in the name of the kata, eg. Gojushiho, which means "54 steps." The number of moves may also have links with Buddhist spirituality. The number 108 is significant in Buddhism, and kata with 54, 36, or 27 moves (divisors of 108) are common. The practitioner is generally counselled to visualize the enemy attacks, and his or her responses, as actually occurring, and karateka are often told to "read" a kata, to explain the imagined events. In teaching the open handed kata, most styles of Karate start with a series of three, or sometimes two, very simple kata called blocking forms before advancing to five basic kata named Pinan in some systems and Heian in others. By working through this series (in order: Shodan, Nidan, Sandan, Yondan, Godan (except in Wado Ryu Karate, where Shodan and Nidan are reversed)) the practitioner learns all the basic stances and techniques before moving on to more advanced kata. Traditionally, kata are taught in stages. Previously learned kata are returned to in order to show more advanced techniques or ways of doing things, as <b>...</b>
