Applications of “Matsumura no Passai”
A few months ago, a few Shōrin-ryū masters from mainland Japan visited Maeshiro Morinobu sensei in his Shidōkan Musei Juku dōjō for instruction. Recently, Maeshiro sensei has been recognized as a cultural asset holder for Okinawa karate by the Okinawa Prefecture.
Later on, the visiting masters posted some bunkai video on Youtube. Since they are titled in Japanese, overseas karateka may not have the chance to look at these very instructive videos.
We are listing them below together with the said kata performed by Matsujō Tadashi sensei, who also belongs to the Okinawa Shōrin-ryū Karatedō Kyōkai (association).
Please be aware that training should be held under the supervision of a qualified instructor. Our center cannot be held responsible for any injury that may occur through the practice of the contents of these videos.
