How to Perform the Second Kata of the Isshinryu Karate System, Seiunchin Kata
This course teaches the second kata of the Isshinryu Karate system. Isshinryu is a karate style that is simple yet powerful. Due to its simplicity, it is appropriate for students of all ages and abilities that are looking to learn self defense. Prior to starting this course, it is recommended to have knowledge of the 15 kihon (basic techniques) of Isshinryu Karate, Isshinryu kicks and Seisan Kata. All of these prerequisites are taught in my other courses.
The second kata of Isshinryu is named Seiunchin. This is the kata learned as a yellow belt. Each portion of the kata has its own video lesson which thoroughly demonstrates and explains step by step how to perform the movements. Structure, posture, foot work, body mechanics, common misconceptions and more are addressed during the lessons.
The course is broken into 7 lectures so the learner can focus on smaller segments of the kata at a time. There will be a quiz following the kata lectures that aims to help the learner reflect on the previous content. Correct and incorrect answer choices will have feedback as well as a reference to the video in which the kata section was taught.
This course concludes with a full class workout including warm ups and repetitive practice of the complete kata. It is important to practice the kata regularly in order to strengthen muscle memory, develop discipline and to be better prepared for the next steps in learning Isshinryu Karate.
Future courses will teach the remaining katas that make up Isshinryu karate as well as bunkai for each kata.
