Fukyugata Sandan composed by Master Ueshiro in the 1960's is characterized by techniques emphasing speed, combinations and strong, low stances. The low stance indicates getting in and under your opponent, forcefully invading his space and disrupting his balance. The blocks emphasize speed and combinations of defensive and offensive movements executed almost simultaneously. This combination of techniques results in a most powerful flow of movement culminating in a devastating strike. The Kata maximizes one's strength and power and illustrates the move forward philosophy of the Shorin-ryu system.
