素振り刀 (Suburitō)

A suburito is a type of wooden practice sword used in Japanese martial arts. Heavier than a standard bokken (wooden sword), it is designed to build strength and power while refining swordsmanship techniques.

Training for karate demands not just precise technique but also strength and resilience. This synergy of traditional and modern tools not only enhances my physical capacity but also deepens my connection to the art of karate. It’s a journey of continuous growth, balancing strength with precision and tradition with innovation.

平常心, Heijōshin, means keeping a calm and balanced mind in every situation. In karate, it means staying relaxed, focused, and in control during training, kata, kumite, competition, and teaching. You do not panic under pressure, become careless after success, or lose control because of fear or anger. With Heijōshin, your breathing stays natural, your body stays free from unnecessary tension, and your decisions become clear and effective.

#平常心 #heijoshin #karate #shitokai #shitoryu

In the Shitokai version of Heian Godan, the arm movement begins with Sasoi-di (Sasoi-te), an inviting action used to draw the opponent’s attack and establish contact.
The arms then form Chudan Kosa Uke. Both forearms cross at the middle level to protect the centreline, redirect the attack, and control the opponent’s arm.
This sequence teaches a smooth transition from invitation, to contact, to control. Both arms must coordinate with the hips, posture, and body movement with correct timing.

Suparinpei (壱百零八) Kata

Suparinpei (壱百零八, also knows as Pechurin and Hyakuhachiho) is one of the original Kata from RyuRuKo Sensei while he was in Fuzchou in the Fukien Province of Southern China and was handed down to Kanryo Higaonna Sensei. Visually it is similar to the Chinese White Crane Kata and the Kempo Kata of the Dragon! Its Okinawan counterpart is Pechurin.

Superinpei is the number 108 in Chinese and the Kata itself is sometimes called or translated as;
1. 108 Hands
2. The final 108 hands
3. 108 Techniques.

And has special significance in Buddhism.

Superinpei is Naha-te’s longest Kata containing more applications and techniques than any other Naha-te Kata and uses classic breathing however silent [Ibuki]. Yes still can executed with perfect form and end in Zanshin. Many of the techniques in this Kata can also be found in earlier Naha-te Kata (Seisan and Sanseiru, etc…). Master Kanazawa of Shotokan and Keiyo University of Tokyo, add this kata to their associations and called it Hyakuhachiho.

Embrace the challenge, push your limits, and remember: Your body is capable of incredible things – let every workout be a celebration of strength and progress!

Naha-te (那覇手)

Nahate originating in the city of Naha in Okinawa, Naha-te is one of the three major systems of Okinawan Karate (Okinawa-te), alongside Shuri-te and Tomari-te. While these systems share common roots, Naha-te distinguishes itself through its emphasis on strong stances, close-range techniques, and deep breathing methods.
