Kanku Sho

Kanku Sho study sheet: objectives, observations and links with other forms.

Reading: approximately 2 min

What form allows us to study

Dynamic orientations and transitions in a clean organization. The relationship of the name invites comparison without mixing.

An observation point

Prepare the pivot with the gaze and the center rather than correcting the orientation late. 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.

Prepare for retakes after a change of level

Kanku Sho presents coordinations and transitions which are not automatically deduced from Kanku Dai. Level changes or skipped elements require observing what comes before and what follows. A reception difficulty can come from poorly oriented preparation. Less spectacular passages provide cues to find direction and rhythm. The teacher can adapt a transition while preserving the objective of the exercise. Name relatedness is a cultural starting point, not a substitute for learning that form.

Announce an orientation before catching it

Observe a dynamic transition by distinguishing the gaze, the movement of the center and the arrival of the foot. If the direction is only corrected at the last moment, the final posture may appear correct while masking an uncertain connection. Repeat the passage slowly, then find the rhythm transmitted. Skipped or complex moments are prepared in their context and can be adapted with the teacher. The comparison with Kanku Dai must relate to a specific reason. A similarity of appellation does not allow one preparation to be replaced by another without examination.
