Isshin Ryu - Fundamentals & Katas vol. 1

Isshin Ryu has been created by Shimabuku Tatsuo by blending Shorin Ryu , Goju Ryu and Kobudo into a new Style.

12 Isshin-Ryu Features:

1. The elimination of “fancy” techniques
2. Combines the best of Shorin-Ryu and Goju-Ryu to form a realistic, basic system of self defense
3. Kicks thrown below the waist (for power and balance) and hand techniques thrown above the waist
4. The use of short, natural stances, which allow better mobility, eliminate wasted motion along with major shifts in the body, and are more adaptable to the American physique
5. A balance of hand and foot techniques in the Katas
6. Close-in techniques, which are valuable for street fighting
7. The application of “snap” punches and kicks where the arm or leg is only 90% extended. This allows for quickness when moving in and out on an opponent and serves to reduce injuries associated with over extending joints
8. The combination of hard and soft blocking
9. Blocks are executed with the muscular part of the forearm, thereby, avoiding injury from bone to bone contact
10. A fist made with the thumb on top of the fist as opposed to the thumb being over the two fingers. Such a position, with the thumb on top, locks the wrist and serves to tighten the fist
11. A vertical punch, which increases speed and power
12. Multiple-purpose techniques, which allow a block to become a blow and a blow to serve as a block
