KYOSHI ANTHONY FERGUSON 8TH DEGREE BLACK BELT SHORIN RYU KARATE & STUDENT PERFORM KATA PINAN GONDAN
OKINAWA SHORIN-RYU KARATE Matsubayashi-ryu Pinan Godan Kata
KATA (FORM) IS THE FOUNDATION OF THE ART OF KARATE, IN THE SAME SENSE THAT A GOOD BACKGROUND IN MATHEMATICS IS ESSENTIAL TRAINING FOR THE MATHEMATICIAN. TO A LAYMAN, KATA WOULD APPEAR TO BE NO MORE THAN A SERIES OF BEAUTIFUL AND GRACEFUL MOVEMENTS INVOLVING BLOCKING, PUNCHING AND KICKING. IN ESSENCE, KATA IS THE MEDIUM THROUGH WHICH THE STUDENT COMMUNICATES HIS ATTITUDE, HIS WEAKNESSES AND HIS STRONG POINTS THEREBY ENABLING
HIS INSTRUCTOR TO GUIDE HIS DEVELOPMENT CAREFULLY AND MEANINGFULLY.
KATA IS VERY DEMANDING. IT DEMANDS THE ULTIMATE IN BALANCE, POWER, SPEED, CONCENTRATION, BREATHING, CONFIDENCE AND HUMILITY. THESE ARE SOME OF THE IMPORTANT INPUTS OF THE CHARACTER-BUILDING WHICH SHOULD BE PART OF EVERY HUMAN BEINGS EARLY TRAINING.
IN SHORIN RYU KARATE SYSTEM, EMPHASIS IS PLACED ON KATA. HOWEVER, IT SHOULD NOT BE UNDERSTOOD THAT THE CONCEPT AND NECESSITY OF SELF DEFENSE IS IGNORED OR DE-EMPHASIZED. IT IS OUR EXPERIENCE AND THE EXPERIENCE OF GENERATIONS OF OKINAWAN KARATE MASTERS THAT TRUE SELF-DEFENSE IS
POSSIBLE ONLY AFTER SERIOUS TRAINING IN THE ABOVE-MENTIONED DEMANDS OF KATA.
I AM CARRYING ON THE TRADITIONS OF THE GRAND MASTERS AND PASSING IT ON TO MY STUDENTS. THE NEXT GENERATION.
