Kata CHINTO (Shorinji-ryu) - Okinawa, Japan

[TheAlexfrascari]

This is the kata I was learning to do exam to get the brown belt when I practiced shorinji ryu in Brazil about 45years ago.... I loved this kata. But then I entered the university and had to stop training... It seems to be rare to see this version of this kata. This is the only vídeo I found of It in YouTube. Thank you for posting It.

Very subtle changes made by Shimabuku Sensei of Isshinryu Karate. Thank you for posting this.

This is Kasaba... Became a member in 2007, and got a background in Renshinkan... Mainland style, and not Okinawa Karatedo. In 2007 he was a Renshi 5th Dan in Renshinkan as I remember..

Shotokan lenage comes directly from Okinawa Te---Toude the Japanese added their own flavor to make it theirs.

shorinji ryu includes Taiji right? ist it much related to gong fu tai ji? do you feel the power of the opponment?

Wow, Sensei I much prefer this version than the one taught to me. I am a fan of the more traditional movements, I don't like the jumping and the flying spining heel kicks (tobi-ushiro geri). I've had fights and I'll never use a flying technique in the real world, its just not safe.

Thank you for sharing this ... and I hope that maybe you can do a series on the origins of Shorinji-Kempo. Because quite honestly, it isn't known for kata, it is more of a fighting system like Kyokushin.

Anyways, thank you again for your content. Your contribution is much appreciated.
