Gankaku Shotokan Kata Video Tutorial Number 20
Submitted by Linden on Mon, 08/06/2009 - 15:18.
Gankaku is a black belt kata. The original name for gankaku is chinto. There are stories referring to a Chinese sailor named Chinto, he was supposedly shipwrecked close to the shores of Okinawa. In order to survive, this Chinese sailor took from the local Okinawan crops. A local Karate master by the name of Sokon Matsumura, was sent to stop this Chinese thief. They had a fight and Matsumura found Chinto to be an incredible martial artist, shortly after this Matsumura trained with Chinto to learn these starnge Chinese martial techniques.
Master Gichin Funakoshi changed the name from Chinto to Gankaku when he took Karate to Japan. Chinto, translates as 'fighter from the East' Gankaku means 'Crane on a rock'.
