This rare Hakutsuru kata of Kumemura Village, Okinawa, fully demonstrated on this DVD is perhaps the most beautiful in karate’s repertoire of forms. Shrouded in mystery, this kata was brought to Kumemura by Chinese visitors from Fukien Province, and perpetuated by Bushi Matsumura, Kenwa Mabuni, Shinko Matayoshi, Gokenki, and Hohan Soken. On this DVD, Master George Alexander, world renowned martial arts historian and karate-ka, expertly performs and explains the kata. Master Alexander is known for his clear and concise bunkai, and self defense interpretations. Key Words: Karate, kata, Martial Arts
