Introduction
Gekisai dai ichi means to defeat by smashing or demolishing (Originally named Fukyugata.)
Gekisai dai ichi was developed by Chojun Miyagi in 1940 as a form of physical exercise for high school boys in 1948. At the end of World War Two, Miyagi Sensei began to teach the Gekisai Kata in depth as a regular part of Goju Ryu in his own Dojo.
The term Goju ryu means ‘hard soft style’.
In the beginning Sanchin was usually the first Kata taught in Goju Ryu. At the time, Miyagi Sensei and Shorin master Shoshin Nagamine decided to develop basic Kata for the popularisation of Karate with school children and to help popularize Goju Ryu among the Okinawan Public. Miyagi’s Kata helped to fill the need for a reasonably simple, easy to learn but effective Kata with the potential required for effective self defence.
The Chinese Kanji character for ‘Geki’ means to defeat and the Kanji character ‘Sai’ means to ‘smash or demolish’ or ‘attack & destroy’. Sometimes described in English as ‘To destroy part 1’
Dai ichi & Dai ni mean No. 1 & No 2 respectively.
The Gekisai Kata contains powerful, basic movements that are reasonably easy to learn and interpret. Many of the Kata techniques have multiple applications (Bunkai). Gekisai dai ichi employs techniques clearly taken from the more advanced Goju Kata and developed into more basic form.
This Kata, as with all Kata, begin with a defensive move - The Japanese phrase Karate ni sente nashi means ‘There is no first attack in Karate’ or ‘There is no first strike in Karate’.
Gekisai Kata can also be done with a partner as a ‘Gi’ or Combat sequence, called ‘Gekisai Gi’.
