Some examples of training in Matsuyoshi-den Shōtō-ha Shōrin-ryū Karate Kenpō to Kobujutsu.
Including:
Hojo Undō
• Striking finger-tips into sand / gravel
• Finger-tip press-ups
• Gripping Jars (Nigiri Game / Niji’in Gāmi)
• Iron-body + Recovery Methods (Dit Da Jow use was not shown, although I don’t believe it is entirely necessary as a practice. However, the principle of using treatments to help the healing process is useful for martial arts and health. But care must be taken with ingredients used.)
• Striking Heavy Bag
• Striking Wall
• Stamina
• Suburi Bokken
Kata
• Naihanchi (I, II, III)
• Sēsan
• Passai
• Ōkan
• Kūsankū
• Gojūshiho
• Passai nu Bō
• Kūsankū nu Bō
Kumiti (Kumite)
• Kata no Bunkai
*Note: Not all applications are shown. My training partner, a practitioner of Wudang Taiji Boxing, with about 13 years of experience at the time of filming, has bad knees, so certain application were omitted, and some she was more resistant to, such as the hip throw. In some cases, she was less resistant, which enabled cleaner illustrations of such techniques, especially considering showing techniques without applying maximum force, so as to demonstrate using softness in defence in karate, with counter-attacks being very controlled.
