Blue Little flowers - Tingha Tingha is a small town on the New South Wales Northern Tablelands, 26 km south of Inverell, 629 km north-north-east of Sydney and 460 km south-west of Brisbane. Before European settlement the area was occupied by the Anaiwan, a sub-group of the Murri Aboriginal people. Many of their descendants still live in the area. Early European occupation of the district is related to the settlement of Inverell. In 1870, tin was discovered at Tingha, after an initial find north at Elsmore. At the peak of the tin boom Tingha was the largest tin-producing district in NSW with mines stretching for 8 km and employing, it is said, 8000 men, of which perhaps 2000 were Chinese. https://www.sbs.com.au/…/australian-country-town-honours-it… #marcelrodrigue #jkamidnorthcoast #tingha #newengland #newsouthwales #australia #sunnyday #ruralaustralia #aussiephotos #visitnsw #tourismnsw #weather #ruralaustralia #littleflowers (at Tingha, New South Wales) https://www.instagram.com/p/CrcoMEFPCUf/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Karate training at Wellington Beach - kata Heian nidan - Nambucca Heads
Anko Itosu developed the Pinan katas.
The word 'Pinan' means 'peaceful mind' (the same characters can also be read as "Safe form Harm" in Chinese). Gichin Funakoshi swapped the 'Nidan' (2nd level) & 'Shodan' (1st level) suffixes so that the names reflected the order in which the katas are most commonly taught.

Chinte (珍手) can be translated by "Rare Hand" or "Unusual Hand"
Chinte Kata is a unique Kata that has a lot of great self defense applications and can be used to work some specific self defense drills.
The name Chinte means Unique or unusual hand, but another interpretation is 'calmness or quelling'. Chinte is a unique Kata to Shuri Te passed on to Itosu from Matsumrua prior to any changes to the Kata it was taught to the shuri castle guards as a defense against Yari (spear) attacks. The guards used bamboo armor on their forearms to help with defense. Thus another common interpretation to the Kata was 'bamboo arms'.
The mood of the Kata begins in calmness and builds intensity and return to calmness. This Kata also displays many religions connotations linked to Buddhism. Such as the opening hand postures which links back to the Buddhist monastery the Shaolin Temple.
At some point it was noted that the use of the unique strikes and the powerful use of the stance made this on ideal Kata for people who were not extremely strong as it presents alternative Self defense ides to effetely counter a stronger fighter, such as eye pokes and the Nakadaka-Ken to the small bones of the hand. At some point some one mislabeled the Kata a ladies Kata. This is an incorrect labeling. Many well-respected female competitors have chosen to use this Kata because of its elegance and flow and the Kata became incorrectly known as a female Kata. Interestingly Ueki Sensei and many other male instructors count this Kata as their favorite to compete with and often suggest its use to learn unique aspects of self-defense to students.
Because of its unique look and feel from Shotokans more orthodox Kata, Chinte had not been used much by JKA students. One exponent of Karate says 'Chinte is a brutal Kata whose applications show a obvious intent to harm the attacker beyond repair'.
Gichin Funakoshi tried to change the name of this Kata to Shion, but it did not take as many of his later name changes did not. The Kata focuses on close combat, proper use of the body for maximum effectiveness and employees deflections and uses the idea of techniques used to over come brute force!
Takeshi Naito feels it should be linked to Sochin training as a nice contrast in training. Opposing a power based Kata with a sophisticated and technical Kata helps to develop the mind and body of the practitioners. Chinte has its own hidden power development however. In the sharp movements from Fudo dachi to Zenkutsu dachi one can see the hips are used to their maximum and the body dynamics are employed and brought to maximum power.
Chinte offers some very Chinese ideas in a very Okinawan/Japanese Kata. The linear movements used to create power and speed are mixed in with circular moves that will help redirect force on an attack.
