Here is link to posts on this blog having to do with koshi dynamics, body dynamics, "whole body" movement, and generally the way that we move (or try our best to move) in the Kishaba Juku form of Shorin-Ryu:
"Karate Jutsu" means "China Hand art". Karate came to Okinawa from China. Only in the 1930s or so, was the term "Karate" changed to mean "Empty Hand". "China Hand" was used in Hawaii until after World War II, and is still used in some dojo.
For more information, please visit the Hawaii Karate Seinenkai website.
The spirit of Karate is the Aloha spirit.
