Pachu
Pachu ( パーチュー , Ryukyu by Chinese 巴球 , Pinyin bāqiú - "a ball whirl," Jap. Hakyū ) is a Japanese karate - kata . She is taught in Shitō-ryū and Ryūei-ryū.
History of the kata
The kata has a total of 48 movements. The shape of the kata is quite difficult to interpret, but one is fairly certain that it is due to the Chinese tiger style. It is often used by women at competitions.
Techniques of Pachu
The Pāchū is very dynamic. The karate techniques are very demanding and varied. This is why this kata is often performed at championships. It contains many lateral evasive maneuvers. The special thing about this kata, however, is that it teaches so-called De-Ai techniques. This means that attack and defense techniques are carried out simultaneously.
