Karate | Okinawan Goju-ryu | Saifa kata
In this clip the choreography of the kata is shown at a slow pace. After this, specific explosive power transitions related to the combat application (bunkai) in the kata are demonstrated.
The name Saifa (Saifuwa) means "to hit and break" and "to smash and break" or "devastating punches." Another interpretation is "to solve a certain physical conflict." The kata cannot be traced but probably originated in China.
Many techniques in the kata are aimed to grab an opponent and to strike subsequently.
The executed kata here is a training form with two high kicks and two jumps (as seen in the Meibukan school). For training/conditioning purposes kicks in kata can be executed at jodan level, but in practical applications (bunkai) the kicks are mostly aimed at the knee and groin. Also jumps are mostly performed for the same reason but again, during practical applications the focus and target is different.
