Kururunfa
(“To Destroy with Ancient Mantis Techniques”) This kata is very quick kata. It is characterized by very fast movements of the hands (mostly open-hand techniques), feet and hips. For this reason, and because of its perfectly balanced combination of go and ju techniques, it is a very important kata in Goju Ryu. The very essence of Goju Ryu is displayed in perfect harmony within this kata. Sabaki is a key feature in this kata.
There are three main kinds: moving to the side, zigzag sabaki, and twisting of the hips.
All are performed with great speed and agility. Low stances such as neko ashi dachi and long zen kutsu dachi are emphasized when moving.
