Shindenkai - Shinden Kai Karate

shinden kai

Shindenkai is about bushido ways. Shindenkai is a Japanese phrase which means: those who came before us. Our motto is to respect them and continue their way to improve. The red part means: We try to be at the peak of this mountain. We need to use all experiences and new knowledge’s. Nowadays karate is different from what it was before. The fist in the ring means: We need to make a strong group together in Karate and our life. I believe: If we believe in that “we can” in our minds then most assuredly We can do all things, maybe others think, we cannot do it, But we will try our best to do it and prove to them that “we can”. The Shindenkai is not only a way of karate but also a way of life.

sabaki

Sabaki is one of human traits. Sabaki is a natural instinct like many other instincts for example running, everybody can run instinctively, this is a natural instinct. But with a little help from new knowledge’s and systematic educations, the running sport has developed this natural instinct. Everybody that participate in this sport is naturally faster and more agile. Each human being will have its own reaction against different actions. in order to react better special training is required. Karate is a martial art and Sabaki is very important element that completes it. Sabaki is considered as the main strategy of Shinden Kai karate. Sabaki means mobility. Sabaki moves in Shinden are designed in different categories. Sabaki moves are described in six directions. In these directions counter attacks are relatively easy against opponent’s attacks. These directions are designed for three different (close, medium and far) positions. By using this method you can avoid direct contact and place yourself in opponent’s blind spot. In this position you can effectively counterattack. If you perform Sabaki correctly you can use opponent’s force against him. With systematic trainings of Sabaki and using gained opportunities a fighter can benefits most without much effort.

Sabaki Timing

Every action has a reaction. It is a law of physics science. Everyone naturally against any intentional motion reaction. But in karate to reach its peak, Specific exercises should be done to strengthen the natural action.

The timing is the best time to use the reaction. When your opponent starts to attack. Since moving up before hitting the target is a timing opportunity. When your opponent finish to attack. Since then back to the first position is aiming opportunity. The law is codified timing Sabaki method. Than it can best be used. A fighter using with timing technique less energy is a better result.

Sabaki Fighting

Kata improves mind, spirit, technique, speed and …. . Kata means fighting with an imaginary opponent. We have two types of Katas, Classic and real. Real Kata is the actual implementation of fighting techniques. Kata is composed of techniques and stances. In Shinden Kai Kata is designed to be appropriate for all ages. For younger ages faster movement and the ability to learn techniques correctly is more important than adults. In Shinden Kai classic Katas are like other styles of Karate, but the real Kata is quite different in form and implementation. The classic Katas are usually used in tournaments. But the real Kata is not built on fix techniques and fighting stances. Indeed real Kata is fighting Kata.
