Isshin-ryu kata performed by Arcenio Advincula
"In early 1973 I attended a seminar at Dixie National
Karate Dojo in Bossier City, La. I was a green belt at the time & had been
training there about a year. I was the only non-black belt in attendance. I was
alone in the dressing room & I heard what I thought was a gunshot in the workout
area. I momentarily froze. I heard it 10 or 12 more times. Then all of a sudden
it was like someone ripping a cloth or a sheet. Only it was loud....real loud.
It was so fast I couldn't distinguish one shot from another. It had to be a
machine gun! After a few seconds, I eased to the doorway & peeked through the
curtain to see what was going on. To my amazement, I saw this little man
standing in front of the mirror. He had really short hair & was wearing black
rimmed glasses held on by an elastic strap. I noticed that the sleeves on his
new looking gi were frayed. He placed his fists on his hips & started
punching.That was the sound I heard....his sleeves snapping as he punched. That
was my very first experience with Sensei Advincula. He made quite an impression
on me. What I witnessed that day motivated me to continue my training for 30
years & counting!" --- Clyde Stanley

“Shimabuku Tatsuo Sensei tell me, watch Gancho. He number-one kata.”
--- Kensho Tokumura a student of Sensei Tatsuo Shimabuku (1958-1961).
Tokumura explained that Shimabuku Tatsuo Sensei used to call Advincula
‘Gancho’ which means glasses in Okinanawn language and explained that Shimabuku Tatsuo Sensei also called Advincula, Katagwa. Katagwa meaning Kata-man, because he was excellent in kata. The ‘gwa’ meaning ‘small in size’ compared to other Americans.
