Kururunfa

To Destroy With Ancient Mantis Techniques (久留頓破) Taught to Kanryo Higaonna by Ryu Ryu Ko from China.  Its origins are unknown. Again the use of tai sabaki, joint locking and breaking techniques are prominent within this quick and fast kata.  Many open handed techniques could either be interpreted as a joint lock or a block, and depending on the circumstances could be used as both.
