Green belt Kata, Sanchin (Three Battles) preformed for demonstration and practice purposes to further assist our extended Zen Do Kai family. • Credit to Dai Sempai Tyson ( The Den in Happy valley South Australia ) for preforming the Kata • And also LionANDPrime - Hard Hip-Hop/Rap Instrumental Beats 2015 For the music track you can find at; • https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJeN... • Katas, sometimes called 'Forms', are sequences of basic martial arts movements, stances, strikes and counter strikes, designed to pass on the knowledge and skills of masters to students. To view, they conjure the appearance of the practitioner fighting several opponents at the same time. Katas are akin to a concentrated catalogue of techniques and strategies and to learn them to perfection (and great emphasis is placed on this) takes years of conscientious study and training. During the development of martial arts, katas were used as a convenient way for the practitioner to remember effective combinations of strikes, blocks, evasions, kicks, locks, throws and feints. • Practitioners generally commence kata study with the simplest form and gradually work their way through the more complex forms over time. Experts agree that well executed katas resemble meditation in motion. Soke refers to the 13 Zen Do Kai katas as the thirteen meditations. Each kata is given a name and generally spans for a minute. Kata movements are typically performed in lines rather than circles, and movements are forward, backward, sideways or diagonal from the beginning position. Strategies and techniques performed in one direction are often also conducted in the opposite axis providing a sense of symmetry. Katas demand, from the practitioner, perfection in balance, timing, focus and economy and also harmony of the breath, body and spirit. Katas are designed to be undertaken alone so that it is the 'self' who confronts the practitioner. It is common though (and quite effective) to view katas performed at the same time by many practitioners. • In Zen Do Kai the student is sequentially exposed to nine traditional katas which have been passed down over the centuries by martial arts masters. These serve as a teaching guide. The student is also required to develop his or her own modern freeform (kata). Soke teaches that this self expression of creativity is possibly the most important aspect of Zen Do Kai philosophy. At fourth degree black belt level the creativity concept is developed further as the practitioner is required to develop three weapons katas. Zen Do Kai does not advocate the use of weapons for self-defence, but rather, as an awareness of defence against the unexpected in the guise of several assailants armed with weapons and as a spiritual connection to the presence of the Japanese Samurai and the Code of Bushido (the way of the warrior). Every Zen Do Kai kata has a time span of approximately sixty seconds and must always finish on exactly the same location that it commenced. Zen Do Kai's traditional forms, personal form and weapons forms add up to a total of 'thirteen minutes' over a lifetime of study in Zen Do Kai. • Zen Do Kai delivers training in the traditional kata in three groups of three. Soke explains that each group is designed to pass on knowledge subconsciously. The first group of three katas evolve around the development of the practitioner's physical strength. Whilst learning these katas the student gradually translates Zen Do Kai as meaning, in essence, The Best Of Everything In Progression. The first primary colour in Senjo - Red (Body) is associated with this 'physical' group of katas. The second group of three katas evolve around the student's 'study of self'. These Zen Do Kai forms unfold as The Way of Thought. The second primary colour of Senjo - Yellow (Mind) is associated with this 'intellectual' group of katas. The qualities of the Senjo philosophy are said to emerge during the study of this group of katas. After many years of daily study, practioners find themselves immersed in the final group of three forms. The third group is represented by the third primary colour - Blue, and is associated with Spirit. With the constant intertwining of the physical (body) and the psychological (mind), the practitioner begins to experience development in personal spiritual strength. Soke teaches that this new found spiritual strength translates in Chinese as 'chi', Japanese as 'ki', English as 'void' and in Zen Do Kai as 'I am'. • • Senjo`s Three Colours • Red • The first primary colour of Senjo is red - Body - representing the physical aspect via this first group of forms . • 1.
