Isshin-ryū karatedō - Chinto Kata

Performed by Arcenio Advincula Chinto is the name of a Chinese shipwrecked seaman on Okinawa. It does not mean "Fighting to the East". Shimabuku Tatsuo (!908~1975) learned Chinto kata from Kyan Chōtoku (1870~1945) who learned it from Matsumora Kōsaku (1829~1898). Shimabuku Tatsuo Sensei told me that Kyan Chotoku use to practice Chinto kata on the Hija river stone bridge. His dojo was next to the bridge on the Yomitan side. Kyan Chotoku was also known as "Kyan Chotoku Chinto" because of his love for Chinto kata. Kyan Chotoku was known for his jump kicks which is found in Chinto kata. Traditionally the 5th karate kata taught in Isshin-ryū Karate by Shimabuku Tatsuo Sensei.
