In 2022 I would like to dedicate the Shudokan Masterclass to two great kata:
  • Shinpatan (心波短)
  • Shinpacho (心波長)
The Shinpatan is today practiced in Shito-ryu, Shindo Jinen Ryu Karate-Jutsu and in some schools founded by students of Toyama Sensei (Doshinkan, Keishinkan, Yoshinkan and Tsuchiya-ryu). ​
In Doshinkan  Karatedo of Ichikawa Isao Hanshi, however, the sister kata Shinpacho has been preserved. According to oral tradition, the kata Shinpacho was Toyama Sensei's second favorite kata after the Koryu Gojushiho. Exciting, isn't it?
I have planned the 2022 Shudokan Masterclass as follows:
  • In total there will be 5 Zoom teaching sessions
  • One teaching session will be on the history of the two kata.
  • Two teaching sessions are planned on the sequence of the kata. One session will be on Shinpatan and the other on Shinpacho.
  • Two teaching sessions will cover the bunkai, the practical applications, of the kata. Again, there is one teaching session for Shinpatan and one for Shinpacho.
  • One month before the masterclass, all participants will receive a video in which the sequence of the kata is explained in detail from several perspectives.
Since it is a masterclass, we will work on some of the applications together. There will also be home exercises :-) But don't worry, I will also contribute some videos with great applications.
My goal is to pass on the inner techniques of these two kata and also to encourage and motivate you to find your "secrets" in the kata as well.
