KARATE
British Shitoryu Karate Association
Chief
instructor and Chairman Prof Dr R Mills Sensei
Honbu
Bracknell,
Roger Mills Sensei gradually fused the Shitoryu style
with the teachings of Nambu Sensei to
produce a unique system which is at once flowing, powerful and fast with
full use of all strikes, take downs, joint lock waza, atemi waza, pressure
points and includes most of the kata from Shurite, Nahate and Tomarite plus
unique ones from Nambu sensei. Also the system includes Nanahon kumite which
range from basic punches and defences through take down, joint lock and kaiten
waza. Whilst high athletic kicks are included
in the syllabus they do not take prominence as very few are safe to use on the
street or of any value when the student reaches that certain age. It is
interesting to note that all old kata have only mid level or lower kicks and
exclude mawashi geri type. Yoko geri is included in later modified kata, as
shown by the difference between Chinto and Gankaku. It is preferred to keep
both feet on the ground as much as possible or at least to minimise the time
one foot is off the ground. Both feet off the ground shows a dramatic
athleticism but once in the air the student is no longer in full control of his
body. It must be used carefully.
Roger Mills sensei teaches the use of basic blocks as
joint lock or take down and atemi waza. The whole system is taught as
thoroughly useable with techniques and combinations having more than one
realistic bunkai. Odd bunkai are not made up for kata which may be necessary
due to ignorance of the real passed down knowledge. The oral tradition is
important in this respect. Nothing can be truly learnt through books or
pictures. These can only be used as a guide or to remind one of a concept, say
of a kata.
