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.

Wa (和) is often translated as harmony, peace, and balance. It is a way of movement and mindset.
It reveals itself in the ability to move in sync with the opponent, to use minimal force for maximum effect, and to remain calm, precise, and adaptable under pressure. Rather than clashing, one blends; rather than resisting, one adjusts; rather than forcing, one refines. True technique is not domination; it is integration.

水稽古 (Mizu Keiko), training in water, builds strength through resistance, sharpens technique by slowing every movement, and deepens breathing control while calming the mind. It is a practice that forges both body and spirit.

水稽古は技を鍛え、心を鎮める。
Mizu Keiko wa waza o kitae, kokoro o shizumeru.
“Water training forges technique and calms the mind.”

Kime-geiko (決め稽古) literally means training that emphasizes decisive focus and finishing power, combining both mental and physical concentration at the moment of impact.
決め (kime) = focus, decisive finish, concentration of power.

稽古 (keiko) = training or practice.

Age does not define your limit. Discipline does. Every round, every punch, every kick, every drop of sweat builds more than fitness. This work builds spirit, focus, and the will to keep moving forward. Training keeps the body sharp and the mind honest. Respect the process. Earn the progress.
Think Dynamic. Be Dynamic. Train Dynamic.

Kunshi no Ken 君子の拳
The fist of a noble person. (Power brings responsibility).

A true karateka does not train only to become strong.
A true karateka trains to become disciplined, respectful, and wise.

The fist must never be ruled by anger or ego.
The fist must serve character, justice, and self-control.

This is the heart of karate.
Strength with responsibility.
Power with respect.
Technique with humanity.

In Shitoryu, Shuto Uke is performed by coordinating the whole body, so the movement feels natural, strong, and efficient, coming from a connected use of the body, not just moving the arm alone. One of the key elements is the use of Gyaku Hanmi, where the hip rotates in opposition to the blocking arm, generating power through coordinated torque and stability.
Equally important is the positioning of the blocking arm. The elbow and forearm should remain as close to the body as possible, ensuring both protection of the centerline and efficient transmission of force. The technique must be executed as a single continuous motion, beginning from the solar plexus, traveling over the opposite upper arm, and extending to the final position without interruption. Pausing or separating the movement reduces both effectiveness and fluidity.
This method emphasizes unity of motion, correct alignment, and a seamless connection between the body and the technique.

Some of my Kumite and Kata matches from the past with Karatedo Song (Karatedo Sanka), a traditional Okinawan “folk song-style”.
