White Crane Fist, or Hakutsuru Ken, as taught by Master Wu Xian Hui (known in Okinawa as Go Kenki), is a traditional martial arts style rooted in White Crane Kung Fu from China. His teachings helped preserve the rich tradition of White Crane Fist within the broader scope of Okinawan karate. Hakutsuru Ken emphasizes graceful yet powerful movements that mimic the crane’s defensive and offensive techniques. The style focuses on fluidity, precision, and control, combining evasive footwork with open-hand strikes, deflections, and quick counters. Practitioners develop heightened sensitivity, using subtle body mechanics and angles to neutralize attacks, with an emphasis on soft but effective power. Master Go Kenki refined and passed down these techniques, blending them into Okinawan karate traditions.
Master Kenwa Mabuni learned three katas—Papuren, Nipaipo, and Haffa—from Master Go Kenki, modifying and simplifying them for inclusion in his Shitoryu Karatedo syllabus

Suparinpei (壱百零八) Kata

Suparinpei (壱百零八, also knows as Pechurin and Hyakuhachiho) is one of the original Kata from RyuRuKo Sensei while he was in Fuzchou in the Fukien Province of Southern China and was handed down to Kanryo Higaonna Sensei. Visually it is similar to the Chinese White Crane Kata and the Kempo Kata of the Dragon! Its Okinawan counterpart is Pechurin.

Superinpei is the number 108 in Chinese and the Kata itself is sometimes called or translated as;
1. 108 Hands
2. The final 108 hands
3. 108 Techniques.

And has special significance in Buddhism.

Superinpei is Naha-te’s longest Kata containing more applications and techniques than any other Naha-te Kata and uses classic breathing however silent [Ibuki]. Yes still can executed with perfect form and end in Zanshin. Many of the techniques in this Kata can also be found in earlier Naha-te Kata (Seisan and Sanseiru, etc…). Master Kanazawa of Shotokan and Keiyo University of Tokyo, add this kata to their associations and called it Hyakuhachiho.

Sanseiru（三十六 "36 Hands") is an advanced kata
originating from the Naha-te lineage of Okinawan karate. It's characterized by powerful stances, particularly Sanchin Dachi, and focuses on close-range combat and grappling techniques. The kata emphasizes generating power from the core (hara) and utilizing internal strength, evident in its strong breathing and dynamic tension. Sanseiru is influenced by Chinese martial arts, reflecting the historical connections of Naha-te.
