Gojushiho Dai

Gojushiho Dai study sheet: objectives, observations and links with other forms.

Reading: approximately 2 min

What form allows us to study

Relationships between hands and detailed coordinations. Some lineages use the names Dai and Sho differently.

An observation point

Identify lineage before comparing two videos and keep each hand functional. Choose a short sequence and compare two trials with the same criterion. The video is used to prepare a question for the course; the fix belongs to the dojo version.

Identify the version of the Gojushiho family

The Dai and Sho designations of the Gojushiho family may be reversed between certain lineages. A comparison must therefore start from the model and the sequences, not just from the title of a video. Detailed hand coordinations require known preparations and a relationship with movement. A discreet gesture can help organize the entire sequence. Learn units with their input and output. The name associated with the number fifty-four constitutes a cultural landmark and does not, in itself, establish a universal way of counting actions.

Identify the model then the hand relationships

The name Dai is not always enough to recognize the version studied, because the names of this family differ between certain lineages. First attach the model used to the dojo. Then identify detailed coordination and describe the educational function of each hand in the instructions. A hand that seems inconspicuous should not be forgotten while moving. Memorization benefits from associating a route, a direction and a reference point. The comparison with the related form occurs after this identification, in order to avoid memory substitutions.
