KATA SEISAN

click kanji for video (2.4 mb)

This ancient Kata is a foundation Kata of many Karate and Kung Fu systems. The version we will be inspecting is from Fuzhou, China originally of the Pwang Gai Noon Kung Fu style, it is now also a major part of Uechi-Ryu Karate.

This will stand as a small glimpse of possible fighting applications from the Kata's postures. We will be illustrating some intermediate Tuite, (Chin Na, Jujitsu, Grappling) interpetations. Please also note that this is not a finite set of Bunkai (interpetations), as they are only limited by the mind that percieves them.

These are personal interpetations... "There are no additives or fillers here just pure Kata, please sit back and enjoy the video clips. It is my wish that it will insight and perpetuate your own personal journey into this ancient and ingenious Kata! -Evan Pantazi"

BUNKAI - (INTERPETATIONS) coming soon!
