PART ONE: 観空小 (Kanku Sho) Overview

 
観空小 

(カンクウショウ)

 KANKUSHO

 This article will look at Kanku Sho Kata from a general and shallow perspective, mere movement and BUNKAI (basic/shallow 'analysis'). I will do this in both JAPANESE and ENGLISH. Accordingly, I'll follow up with a 'part two article' later, featuring OYO (actual 'application') and some deeper points of this kata. The reason for this first article is to clarify the 'external form' taught traditionally. The second article will therefore provide some depth.

[特徴]

[Characteristics]

観空大と同様の敵を仮想しての技の編成であるが、棒の受けと反撃に特徴がある。 上段の棒受け、掴み捻って押し込む。さらに脛を払う棒攻撃に、膝をかい込み高く 飛び上がり、一回転して反撃をかわす。最後も三日月蹴りから一回転して伏せて攻 撃をかわし、鋭い中段突きで仕留めて終わる。松濤館流の中で最も敏速果敢な形と いわれる。

 

This Kata constitutes the techniques, assuming the same enemy as for Kanku Dai, but this kata has special offense and defense characteristics using the staff. In this waza, the practitioner grabs the staff from Jodan and twists and pushes it back. When the attacker tries to hit the shin with the staff, they jump high, bending the knees and fend off the attack by rotating the body once. Later the karateka executes a crescent kick and fends off the attack by rotating the body once and crouching on the floor. To conclude the practitioners executes a quick middle level thrust to the opponent. Kanku Sho is said to be the most quick and courageous kata in Shotokan-Ryu.
