Oshiro Seminar -From the Eyes Up -The Basics
"Kosokun is not a person's name." "I have never seen Chinese martial arts perform moves similar to karate. Okinawan karate is different from Chinese karate. Therefore, it is better to pursue the techniques than to go to China to find the source." "There is no doubt that the origin of karate came from China, but in China, people live on chairs and desks, while in Okinawa, people live on tatami mats, just like in Japan. Technology changes with lifestyle, so it was changed in the samurai society of Okinawa," etc. Ohshiro sensei's seminar began with an explanation of history.
In this issue, we will introduce the kata we taught in the second half of the Oshiro seminar, Chatanyara Kusanku.
