Same kata, different name

Krammy

Long time no speak, Hope you are well my friend. Not to sure on the kata but wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Osu,

wasnt sure of the origins of Tsuki no.  In Cameron Quinns Book, he notes that both Kata are from Shuri-te origins, as opposed to Naha-te.

Not sure of bunkai of the Tsuki-no, although, (i have thought) it is called punching kata (Tsuki) I have always been told it is a kata of stances. This is why it is placed around the yellow/green belt level of Kokushin.  You have to master moving between the stance before you can move into the senior grades, of green, brown belts.

Yantsu, - Have seen a group of Kempo students practising a kata that looked remarkably similiar to the Kyokushin version.  Difference was in Kyokushin the moves are done 90 degrees to the side, the Kempo version was done at 45 degrees to the side. Am aware of some bunkai, ie the wrist releases etc,but that probably displays my lack of knowledge more so thatn assists.

Hope that helps

Osu
