Koryu Uchinadi - The Kihon Concept

The Kihon Concept allows you to put your karate basics into self-defence context. The basics are familiar to practitioners of most karate styles, which allows for a fun and easy approach to old style karate training.

The two-person drills in this video can be done on three different levels depending on the desired outcome and the proficiency of the student:

1. Escape

2. Impact

3. Control

Moving up the levels will gradually prepare you for more complex exercises. The video also includes solo exercises, both kihon and kata. 

The Kihon Concept can be downloaded in four parts:

- Part 1: Introduction and kihon

- Part 2: Kihon oyo jutsu (jodan uke, gedan barai, uchi uke)

- Part 3: Kihon oyo jutsu (soto uke, kake uke, shuto uke)

- Part 4: Kihon kata plus bonus technique

Hanshi Patrick McCarthy likes to use the phrase "Classical tradition - Contemporary insight". This is what the Kihon Concept is all about!

Please note that the quality of the footage is not the same as in the Project 16 videos available here on Gumroad. Therefore Koryu Uchinadi - The Kihon Concept can be downloaded on a "pay what you want" -basis.
