Kata of Akari-ki Shorin-Ryu

"The more you sweat in practice, the less you bleed in battle!"

*The interpretations (what to get out of this kata) on each page of the kata information just barely begins to tell what a student should learn from the kata.  It is very vague and incomplete and my perspective.  Complete understanding of a kata can only come from studying it, working it, learning the bunkai, and then teaching it to others.  The information gathered from here has come from numerous sources but mainly, George Alexander's "Okinawa: Island of Karate," Mark Bishop's "Okinawan Karate," and Levin Brown "Comments on Okinawan Kata".

*Note the proper name is the Okinawan name of the kata, but I have presented the Japanese name so that you may be familiar with them.
