Sanshin No Kata / Gogyo No Kata. Are they the same thing?
I have seen several versions of Sanshin No Kata over the years
and everyone does it slightly different and yet the principles seem the
same. However it appears to me that Sanshin No Kata would be used to
teach flow whereas I believe that Gogyo would have more of an attacking
nature.
Lets look at the the differences: (note: the way I describe the
techniques come from my personal hand written notes right or wrong
Sanshin circa 1986 and Gogyo circa 1996)
Chi
Attacker punches defender drops back from shizen diagonally backwards
with right arm flowing in line with right leg. Defender then steps
forward and arm swings up in a pendulum like manner, the fingers
forming a birds beak (Sanshinken, 3 finger strike) that strikes under
the chin of the attacker (or to the side of neck).
Appears similar in both Kata
Sui
Version 1: Attacker punches to head. Defender drops back from shizen
diagonally backwards into Ichimongi and perform a Jodan Uke (upper
block) then steps forwards and performs a Omote Shuto Kubi from a
shoulder high hand position
Version 2: Defender is already in Shoshin and performs Jodan Uke then
steps forwards and performs a Omote Shuto Kubi but this time the strike
comes from the hip
Ka Same as above but Ura
Fu
Version 1: Attacker kicks. Defender drops back from shizen diagonally
backwards into Ichimongi and perform a Gedan Uke (lower block). He then
steps in and performs a Boshiken (thumb strike) to the attackers inner
thigh.
Version 2: Similar to above but with defender already in Shoshin and the boshiken could be applied to the groin area.
Ku
Version 1: Attacker kicks. Defender drops back from shizen diagonally
backwards into Ichimongi and perform a Gedan Uke (lower block). He then
steps in with a distraction technique and follows through with a front
kick.
Version 2: Attacker kicks. Defender is in Shoshin no kamae and raises
the back hand above the head to attract the opponent's attention while
kicking a Zenpo-keri.
So it would appear that Gogyo No Kata starts from a 'ready'
position while Sanshin No Kata starts from a 'relaxed' position and
therefor takes longer to perform.
