Kururunfā

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kururunfā ( Japanese 久留 頓 破 , Chinese Kunlunfa ) is an Okinawan kata of karate of the Shōrei-ryū movement and is practiced in the karate styles of Gōjū-ryū and Shitō-ryū .

Name and origin

Kururunfā goes back to a Chinese form called Kun Lu . It is also called Kururun-Ha . Kururun means constant, Ha means breaking. The Chinese name of the kata refers to the martial art that was trained in the Buddhist monastery on Mount Kun Lun . The Japanese name is said to be derived from a mountain guard named Yama Gamae .

Characteristic

Kururunfā is classified as Jū Kata (soft Kata). The kata is characterized by fast movements and evasive maneuvers. Three types of evasion are used: sliding sideways, zigzag movements and hip evasive movements. All evasive movements are carried out quickly and smoothly. As the name suggests, the kata also contains various levers and other techniques that target the opponent's joints.
