Santen Rikiho No Kata Sono Ichi (New Shotokan Kata)

三点力法の形その一 Basic Kata created by Mikio Yahara Sensei. Santen Rikiho may be translated as the 3 ways of power generation: 1. rotation (hanmi-shomen-hanmi), 2. compression-expansion, 3. reverse rotation. To prevent the injuries, it is highly recommended to strengthen muscles, tendons, and ligaments and to understand the biomechanics.
