Welcome back and best of luck in the new dojo.
Didn't receive anything.
Haven't received it yet, but look forward to it.
My sensei did not teach this kata, only kanegawa no niccho gama. However, he did note that it was on the kata mokuroku of Taira sensei. A very good description of Toyama no niccho gama can be found...
You could contact Kimo Wall directly through his website for more information on this version of Sochin.

Right middle block - double punch
Turn to right in natural stance - down block

And let's not forget the version of Sochin taught by Kimo Wall which has its lineage as:

In vol 2 no. 13 of the magazine classical fighting arts, Mr. Gushi is demonstrating a Jiffa kata (pg. 27-29) which is referred to as "Mee no Jiffa". The article explains that it was taught to him by...
My own kobudo teacher, Minowa Katsuhiko sensei made a ticchu kata. He called it Matsukawa no ticchu. He passed away in 2003 and Yoshimura sensei renamed it Minowa no ticchu. I would suggest that it...
You're very welcome. Its all quite confusing sometimes.
Is it tekko, tikko, 手甲、鉄甲、or テッコ LOL
I believe that the general reason is that for some weapons there are recognized and accepted kanji for them. While for the other weapons, there are multiple kanji with the same pronunciation, hence...

Fujiwara and Gima do not explicitly state who learned these forms in their book, but you can infer that they were learned by some students at the Toudi Kenkyu Kai.
I quoted this in an article I wrote a long time ago on Tang Dai Ji (To Dai Ki), but will repost and translate it here.
According to Fujiwara Ryozo's and Gima Shinkichi's book "Kindai Karatedo no...

Hey Tim:
I did a quick search for you in Japanese using the terms: awamori, awamori bin, karate, and Higa Minoru. Sorry, no luck :cry:.
Hi David:
I don't know about Okinawa, but on the Japanese mainland at least two schools use the name for Kongo ryu - one for bojutsu and kenjutsu.

Hi David:
Yes, the Bugei Ryuha Daijiten (武芸流派大事典) edited by Yamada et al. lists Taira Shinken as the founder of Kongo ryu (pp. 302).
As I mentioned earlier, in Karatedo Taikan (空手道大観) the kata...
Hi David:
The kanji for Kongo on Kon are 金剛の棍 it is a reference to Buddhism I believe.
At any rate, the Kongo no Kon presented in Taira's chapter in the book "Karatedo Taikan" (1938) is a...
My Kobudo teacher was Minowa Katsuhiko, a student of the Ryukyu Kobudo Hozon Shinko Kai founder Taira Shinken. I also train with one of his senior students Yoshimura Hiroshi.
Well if its any consolation, I've hit myself with the suruchin. Come to think about it I've also been stabbed in the hand with a rochin. Needless to say my teacher, Minowa sensei, was not impressed...
