空手の型をやっていて思うこと

古伝の型-四方公相君(2)/Traditional kata-Shihou Kusankū (2)

四方公相君、順番を覚えてしまったので一昨日・昨日の自主トレで少しやってみた(本日は雨天休止)。

横一線の型と言っても立ち方は前屈or後屈(糸東流では猫足?)であり、そのまま前後方向で動こうと思えば可能である(一部変えた方が良さそうな箇所はある)。従って、横一線の型と言っても騎馬立ちで横方向に移動するナイハンチとは少し意味が違うだろう、という感想を持った。ちなみに、前回四方公相君に何となく似ていると書いた二段武は主に騎馬立ちである。

二段武はナイハンチから抜塞・公相君(大)へ移行する間を補完するために岸本祖孝氏が創作したものということなので(武芸館の動画にそう書かれていた)、抜塞・公相君(大)のエッセンスを取り込んで後から創作されたものということで間違いなさそうである。四方公相君はどうだろうか。

今の空手界は何を言っても言った者勝ちのような気がする。それを肯定するにも否定するにも史料がないから。だから各個人の勝手な思い込みでエビデンスの提示もなく自説を繰り広げる人が多い・・。

Shihou Kusanku, I remembered the turn, so I tried a little on the day before yesterday and yesterday's voluntary training (today is a rainy day).

Even if it is a horizontal line kata, the way of standing is forward bending or backward bending (cat legs in Shito-ryu?), and it is possible if you want to move in the front-back direction as it is (a part that seems to be better to change) . Therefore, I had the impression that the horizontal line kata would have a slightly different meaning from Naihanchi, which moves laterally on kibadachi. By the way, Nidanbu, who wrote that I was somewhat similar to Shihou Kūsankū, is mainly a kibadachi.

Since Nidanbu were created by Mr. Soko Kishimoto to complement the transition from Naihanchi to Bassai/ Kūsankū (as written in the video of the Bugeikan),  it seems that there is no doubt that it was created later by incorporating the essence of Bassai & Kusanku (Large). As for the prototype of Shihou Kūsankū, there is an original kata that moves laterally while standing kibadachi, and the kata that is handed down to the present age may be the one that incorporates the essence of Kūsankū (large).

I feel that the current karate world is first-come-first-served. There is no historical material to affirm or deny it. Therefore, there are many people who develop their own theories without presenting evidence on their own beliefs.
