Master Takemi Takayasu shows you the 4 fundamental kata of Uechi-Ryu Karate Do (Sanchin, Kanshiwa, Kanshu, Seichin) as well as Kyu-Yakusoku-Kumite, defense and attack against an aggressor with a knife. Sanschin Gitae is shown with the first Sanchin Kata, and with the applications of the three other Kata. Sanchin: The first one of the 8 Uechi-Ryu Kata and it is the foundation of our whole school. Sanchin-Gitae: This separates Uechi-Ryu from the other Karate-Do schools because of its violence. Sanchin Gitae is one of its most representative methods for the strengthening of the body. Kata Seichin: This Kata was created by Master Saburo Uehara. Defense and attack are performed with the same arm, but both arms may be used as well as one knee for defense against two enemies. Kyu-Yakusoku-Kumite: This Kata was invented by Master Seisho Yonaha for the Kyu practitioners. This Kata must be performed with vigor and swiftness.
