Wanshū (ワンシュー, also 汪輯)

The name Wanshū (汪輯) means "Wang's Series (or Form)" and refers to the diplomat Wang (1621 – 1689). Wang was the leader of a large ambassadorial mission from China, sent by the Qing government in 1683 to the village of Tomari.

The Wanshū kata was either created by Wang or composed by his students and named in tribute to him. There are two major versions of Wanshū kata: one taught by Master Ankō Itosu and one practiced and introduced in the Tomari region.

The Wanshū kata shown in this video is considered an Itosu-kei kata, meaning it was either created or primarily passed down by Ankō Itosu, although its origins are in Tomari-te.

Wanshū is also translated as "Oar in Deep Water," which may refer to the movements in which the karate-ka lunges in for an attack and quickly leaps away, like an oar plunged deep into the water and quickly emerging as the stroke is completed.

Shinsei (新生) Kata

Shinsei (新生, New Life, New Birth) is a kata created by Master Kenwa Mabuni. Shinsei is a summary of the katas Gekisai Dai Ichi and Dai Ni, and it also incorporates elements of Seienchin and Seisan katas. Kenwa Mabuni Sensei wanted to introduce the Nahate system to his students and believed that this kata would provide a better understanding of the advanced Nahate katas they would train in later. Shinsei kata demonstrates a special kind of calmness and elegance, and the techniques in this kata are very effective for self-defense.

Myojo (明 浄) Kata

Myojo is a term that translates to 'morning star.' Nevertheless, the kata's name was derived from the Japanese high school where Kenwa Mabuni Sensei instructed female pupils in self-defense. Later, he developed this brief kata, which he named Myojo. This kata incorporates techniques such as Ryote Furizuki, Ushiro Hijiate, and Sashite.
