Naihanchi Shodan as originally taught by Seiyu Oyata.

The first kata we teach, is at Master Shigeru Nakamura's insistence. Done slowly and precisely the first half with explanations. 100% correct. Narrow stance just like Choki Motobu demonstrated. Truthfully, I'm not known for my kata performance. I'm known for my fighting and Self-Defence Tactics and Techniques which my Military background shows. This is the original way we were taught by Master Seiyu Oyata. Done in Kfar Adumim, Israel with myself and Yehoshua Kadosh, my senior student who is an 8th Dan, Kyoshi, with a Daishihan Menjo (Master Instructor's Teaching License). As always: Commenting and clicking the like button gets the algorithm to introduce our material to others not directly connected to us. Feel free to comment. We read every one of the comments. Agree or disagree. You have an idea, let us know! We are interested in advancing our knowledge just like you are (or should be!). In fact, this newer video is in response to comments posted on our previous Naihanchi Shodan video. And, YES! we DO wear shoes. Do you think you are Billy Jack and going to remove your shoes before you get in a fight? Please!!! Real Karate. Not Sport. Learn from a Military Science and Tactics instructor specializing in Individual Tactical Training. We do Seminars worldwide. The details are on our website www.academy-of-ryukyu-kenpo.info. I enjoy teaching people who WANT to learn! With Albert Geraldi's passing, there is only Greg Lindquist and I left from the original bunch. Greg is more of a Kata guy, I'm the fighter and tactics guy. I don't teach that namby-pamby stuff that's passing itself off as Ryukyu Kempo these days.
