The key to understanding the technical construction of authentic empty-hand two-man forms lies in the Eighteen-Monk Boxing or the Eighteen Buddha Hands of the Shaolin Temple. Nai Fuan Chin, meaning “internal divided conflict” in Chinese and also known as Nai Han Chi in Hogen Okinawan dialect, is, in fact, a two-man form. According to existing ideas on Budo, Nai Fuan Chin was longly and erroneously considered to be a ballistic form, when teachers persistently tried to use this wisdom of holding, gripping, twisting, subduing or tumbling techniques as a basis for trying to block and counter punches and kicks. Yasutsune Itosu was nicknamed “Ankho” or “Iron Horse” for his enthusiasm in practicing the Nai Fuan Chin form and for his ability to root himself firmly in the Nai Fuan Chin stance. There’s much to learn from this mind-blowing Kata... #naifuanchin #naihanchi #tekki #kata #shaolin #eighteenmonk #eighteenbuddha #shaolintemple #twomanform #yasutsuneitosu #ankhoitosu #ankohitosu #ironhorse #ironhorsestance #kibadachi #kibadachinokata #nahate #shorinryu #okinawate #okinawa #kungchido #karate #karatedo #kungfu #taichi #taichichuan #pretidev #pretidevramdawon #mauritius🇲🇺 (at Flic En Flac BEACH) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCoxOoalihB/?igshid=ulfigjtlxpmb

The Nai Fuan Chin (Nai Han Chi/Tekki) katas, originating in China and developing a tiger-like power, need more guided research as to their origin and possible connection to Shaolin Kung Fu. Any fruitful contributions are most welcome. #naifuanchin #naihanchi #tekki #kata #karatedo #kungfu #shaolin #shaolinkungfu #pretidev #pretidevramdawon #zenshaolinkarate #zenshaolinkaratedo #mauritius (at Flic En Flac, Black River, Mauritius) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAscdSPA_Jz/?igshid=u9sh31kljzyk
