    Default Naihanchi

    I was just wondering what style of karate this kata is from. we do a bunch of different katas from a bunch of different styles so it gets a little confusing after a while.

    I think it's called Tekki in the shotokan karate style.

    Hector is that you? You mean you don't have anything else to say? I believe someone has stolen Hectors password and screen name as this cannot be him, for he didn't trash the Kata in any way.

    Have a good weekend!

    Richard

    Shuri Te and is also pronounced Naifanchi.

    Richard,

    Sorry that's not like me,What I meant to say,is that Naihanchi is not the reason for Motobus great fighting skills.

    Hector, Motobu did say that Nihanchi contained everything one needed to know about karate.

    I think he might have had a little too much to drink that day.

    Default Good Fighter

    Hector, how can you say that? Motobu was a very good fighter. Wether you like kata or not, you can't deny that he (Motobu) put it on the line. Many kata aficionados could learn something from him.

    Default For real?

    Manny's post can't be real! He's giving props to a ShuriTe guy? Oh my God!

    As for Motobu, as good as he was there were many that were better, like Yabu Kentsu who kicked his butt. Naihanchi, kata afficionado or not, contains all that you need to know for (in-close) fighting. It's Shuri Te's Sanchin and is filled with tuite.

    Bye and good replies...

    Wink deadliest kata?

    Sensei Vince Morris of the Kissaki-Kai has stated that Nahanchi (Tekki) is one of the most brutal kata going as far as Oyo or bunkai are concerned.

    I really enjoy running it regardless of the version.

    Yes, my post is real. Motobu didn't just talk it, he backed it up. I would venture to say he had FIRST hand knoledge of what really worked. He didn't seem to be very "spiritual" though. I would put money on the fact he would step in the ring or octagon had he been alive today. And, if he saw the need, would alter his fighting style to adapt. He seems to be a predecessor to todays MMA type fighter IMO.

    Manny, that is my impression of Motobu, too. Hector thinks Tekki Ni is what happens to you when you get kicked in the knee and it swells all up

    When Hector gets to the Pearly Gates, his penance will be that he has to do Tekki kata while playing an accordian...for a thousand years

    ETERNAL DAMNATION!!!!
    Gene, I actually admire him. He's sooo spiritual. I actually learned nihanchi kata. I like the Tekki version but the Shorin version is ok too.

    It was my first kata. Old school Shorin-ryu
    always taught this as it's first kata. It is to
    Shorin-ryu what Sanchin is to Goju-ryu. In fact,
    the kiba dachi is sometimes called Naihanchi dachi.
    I was taught with a slight pigeon toe like Sanchin.
    Great in-fighting apps and kakki drills can be developed
    from it as well as joint locking.
    My favorite!
