Shorin-ryu Karate - Kata 2

Shorin-ryu is the oldest existing style of Karate, from which modern Japanese styles such as Shotokan, Shito-ryu, Wado-ryu, etc. are also derived. If you were to define Shorin-ryu with a single word, this would be "natural", since it is a style based on principles and natural movements for the human body, applicable by anyone in any situation, regardless of age, size and sex. In this book, Master 4th dan Emanuel Giordano shows the photo by photo execution of the kata: Kusanku Sho; Chinto; Koryu Passai; Gojushiho; Kihon kata yon, go and roku. Each kata series is preceded by a historical and technical introduction. Master Emanuel Giordano, already author of several books and articles related to Okinawa Karate, teaches Shorin-ryu mainly in Piedmont, and since 2013 he has been going to Okinawa every year, where he studies the Shidokan Shorin-ryu with his Master, Maeshiro Morinobu sensei, and with members of the musei juku dojo and of the honbu dojo. Emanuel Giordano is also the founder and manager of Okinawa Karate Kenkyukai, the Italian and european study group of Okinawa Karate; is national referent for Okinawan Traditional Karate at CSEN, and has excellent relations with Okinawan institutions.
