ENSHIN

[MMX]

Mike Ninomiya has written about his first trip out as Vice Kancho of Enshin.

My first seminar abroad in the role of fuku “vice” Kancho was amazing. Much appreciation and respect to my father Kancho, for allowing me this opportunity. Travel he mentioned, can be quite harsh on a person and has awakened in me a deeper sense of what is apparent to everyone that knows my dad; wow, he is superhuman!

Checking in on Facebook for the World Sabaki it seems that also there is talk that Kancho is introducing a new kata to the Enshin system. I have no idea what level it is for yet. Details to come.

[GJEC]

I didn't see that. Is there a link?

It was mentioned by a Sensei from one of the California Dojo's

My Sensei tells me it is a new Black Belt level kata and a new DVD is coming as well.

Neat video of Enshin Germany training.



meguro you might like the area in the middle with some throwing/takedowns.

[meguro]

It's a pity There was never an Enshin dojo nearby. I would have liked to have tried it.

I don't dare look at the video in case it takes a good couple of hours longer than the scheduled running time!

For those who don't get that:

Chandana is a great bloke and very helpful, but runs on a totally different clock to the rest of us.

If he says "10:00am start", take a picnic.

Since grabbing is allowed in tournament play, is there any grip fighting (ie. where fighters attempt to get a superior hold on the other while preventing the other from grabbing hold)?

[GJEC]

They train that at honbu but I must admit we only do it in general partner work.

Kancho and Mike were both really good at Judo so it spills over.

Gary

Yes. We also have done some and then it becomes a different strategy of who can out smart to out balance the other opponent.

Just curious as to Matsui's visit to the Enshin Honbu. I haven't seen anything posted on it.

Not heard anything. Maybe it was a 'private' visit, but I'm sure they'll report it in the monthly newsletter.

I'll post what I hear.

While doing a bit of research into Akira Masuda's Freestyle Karate Project from my limited knowledge it looks quite similar to Enshin ( or what I know of Enshin ) can those in the know shed more light on this for me particularly in relation to throws used ?
