Congratulation to all participants! Not forgetting our sensei, Sensei Iman and Sensei Mizan. Without you, we wont even be able to go to this penang mission. Thank you sensei


some pictures of us:

Appreciate your sensei

As a part of our training program last night: each karateka has to go in front and lead the class. Some karateka did well, others didn't do well, and other did funny things...
One karateka said: "Hidary shiko dachi PUNCH TARGET TO THE MOUTH"
Another karateka said: "hidari han zenkutsu dachi morote gedan barai... Back leg GEDAN BARAI"


Very hilarious eh? but the point is, not everyone can be a sensei. So, let's us appreciate our sensei, let's go the dojo and do our best in the training!


Monday and Wednesday: Kumite Training
Tuesday and Friday: Kata Training

Seienchin

Sei en chin or “Silence in the storm” is a kata that belongs to Naha-te, from master Higaonna school. This is one of the most important kata in shitoryu karate. Tender and slow movement with deep breathing along with quick and strong movements are the specifications in this kata. Shiko-dachi, Neko ashi-dachi and Sanchin-dachi, are executed in this kata.

The time required to perform this kata is about one minute and fifty seconds. The time for performing the first three parts of this kata should be around forty five seconds.

Grabbing the opponent’s wrist and attacking him, uchi komi and hiji kuri uke are used in this kata. The number of movements is forty eight and this kata is practiced in the first dan level.(1)

Enough with theories, just watch the following video and enjoy.(2)
