The
object and reason of Sei Shin Ryu is the free "personal
evolution", it is peace without violence, and it
is independent. It's concept of Karate is global, understanding
it as a whole from the direct techniques of application
to the Kobudo. It is a style that works on the 86 vital
points of the human body.
Using these techniques in a fight was very dangerous,
so the style Sei Shin Ryu had forbidden to compete against
other styles.
Master Kikuchi based his philosophy of work without
looking for the strong stops of other styles but in
the work of taisabaki with strong attacks in vital points
and joints.
It is characterized fundamentally by the speed and taisabaki.
Positions are high.
In it's basic concept, is a school of Karate-kenpo that
it has received this name because of it's direct line
with the school Ryobu-kan in the style "Shindo
Jinen Ryu". In Spain, Master Koitxi Yaezakura
keeps the line learned from Master Kikuchi as faithfully
as possible, inside the traditional Karate.
Thought is true that in the last few years it has been
an evolution to let people who want to compete, this
wasn't contemplated very much in the style Sei Shin
Ryu, cause it left the Kenpo part in a second sight;
but it is also true that in the usual work of Karate
this concepts are developed. The work is evolutionary
and while in initial levels one gives great importance
to the work of accession and promotes so much in the
techniques of assault (atemi) like of defence in posterior
levels and especially top, does not look for the strength
of the stops of other styles, but a work of taisabaki
with fulminating assaults in vital points and joints.
This one is a work that remains faithfully gathered
in the katas "TAISABAKI", peculiar
of this school and that date back to the joint work
between the Master Konishi, the Master Itosu and the
Master Inagaki, experts in techniques of Ju-jitsu (self-defence)
and Iai-do (managing of the Japanese Knowing):
Taisabaki Shio-dan "Heian Nidan"
Taisabaki Ni-dan "Heian Shiodan" (symmetrical
movements to left side and right).
Taisabaki San-dan
Taisabaki Yo-dan
Taisabaki Go-dan.
