| Naifanchi, which is a tanren kata
of the Shuri-te style involves lateral movements and natural
breathing techniques. The basic idea is that power exerted during
inhalation is 'in vain', but that just before breathing out is 'practical'.
The breathing technique and the way of receiving force relate to
each other. It is supposed that one will be able to let the 'practical'
moment meet the moment of attack and 'present force from the inside
to the outside.' The kata is aimed at training one's own
body strictly, and fostering a spiritual force as well as the perseverance
to bear severe training. That's why it is said that 'Everything
begins and ends with naifanchi' in the Shuri-te system. |
