SUPARINPE WADO-RYU
Dec 11, 2010|
Admin
This kata is known as “108 hands” representing the 108 evil spirits of man. It is also said to have represented a band of 108 warriors that travelled the Chinese countryside in the 1600s performing “Robin Hood”-type tasks of doing good deeds, giving to the poor, etc. It’s also known by its Chinese name of Pechurrin and occasionally referred to with the Funakoshialtered name of Hyaku Hachi Ho. Higaonna said that the name really means “108 Masters” as that is the number of masters it took to create it.
Created in the 1600s by Chinese General Ye Fai, this very old kata was later taught to Nahate founder Kanryu Higaonna between 1868-1881 in Fuzhou, China (Fukien province) by Chinese Shorinji Kempo master Ryu Ryu Ku. Higaonna passed it on to Gojo-Ryu founder Chojun Miyagi and Shito Ryu founder Kenwa Mabuni. Mabuni taught this kata to Hironori Otsuka.
Suparinpei was originally listed in the 1939 kata list registered by Otsuka Sensei with the Dai Nippon Budokukai as the 16th Wado kata but was dropped from the syllabus in the 1950s.
Many Wado schools have revived the Wado Suparinpei, which is very similar to the Shito Ryu version, probably showing its roots coming to Otsuka from Kenwa Mabuni. Suparinpei is now listed as a Wado kata with the WKF and its Wado liason, the JKF-Wado Kai. It is presently still taught by Teruo Kono, Hachidan Germany JKF-Wado Kai and Dr. Katsumi Hakoishi, Hachidan Japan JKF-Wado Kai as well as some other various places.
