Hi everyone
I would like to know about the Gekisai sho kata. I can't find any answers to the orgin or history of this kata.
I'm talking about the Gekisai Sho kata that comes from Kyokushin Kai. I know that in Goju ryu the kata Gekisai dai Ni exist but these two kata are different from each other.
Does anybody know anything about this kata and could you please share it with me.
Thanks
I talked to a friend of mine and asked about the origins of Gekisai sho kata. My friend then asked his teacher who gave him a link to a web site where it was written:
So it looks like the gekisai sho kata is derived from Oyamas training in Goju Ryu and not directly imported from Goju Ryu. I googled and searched for more info but this is all I sould find. Sorry that I could not be a bigger help. Hopefully there are more knowledgeable people on the forum who can contribute:)
I know that Bob Jones of Zen Do Kia taught Gekisai kata from 1 to 5
I'm not sure where they came from thougfh or indeed if ZDK still use them.
