Complete Matsumura Shorin Ryu Kata DVD
This DVD reviews all of the kata in the Okinawan Matsumura Orthodox Shorin Ryu Karate System. While this video is not intended to teach you the forms, it is a great reference guide for all the traditional kata of the system, performed in their original style.
All kata are performed twice: first VERY SLOWLY from the front angle, so that all of the details of each movement can be observed. Each is then demonstrated at regular training speed to get a sense of the flow and rhythm. The following kata are demonstrated on this video:
- Naihanchi Shodan
- Naihanchi Nidan
- Naihanchi Sandan
- Pinan Shodan
- Pinan Nidan
- Pinan Yondan
- Wansu
- Ananku
