The Original Tanbo Kihon as taught by Seiyu Oyata

Okay! I messed up. We filmed Yehoshua doing the whole kata. I decided it might be better broken into four parts to make for shorter lengths. I was wrong. I put it back together with a better opening, but my editing skills are (truthfully) pathetic. So it jumps around a bit at the rejoining areas. Too bad, so sad, not sorry!
This is the version taught by Master Seiyu Oyata directly to me.
Something you all should remember and take to heart, the videos that we post are not the end-all for learning kata. Use them as a guide but do not fool yourself into thinking that you have been properly taught how to understand them. Your instructor adds content specifically designed for you. Something we could not possibly know.
If you have further questions or comments, I will answer them on the new TH-cam Community feature. Unlike a lot of others, we read your comments. And, answer them!
Do you have an idea? Let us know! We are interested in advancing our knowledge just like you are (or should be!).

Karate. The way it was meant to be taught. Not Sport. Learn from a Military Science and Tactics instructor specializing in Individual Tactical Training. There is a difference. We do Seminars worldwide. The details are on our website www.academy-of-ryukyu-kenpo.info. I enjoy teaching people who WANT to learn! With Albert Geraldi's passing, there is only Greg Lindquist and I left from the original bunch. Greg is more of a Kata guy, I'm the fighter and tactics guy. I don't teach that namby-pamby stuff that's passing itself off as Ryukyu Kempo these days.
