GoPei Sho (Advanced Tearing Peacock form) modified for wheelchair

GoPei Sho was inherited from the Chinese movements of Master Li Tsun I, of the Hopei School, also called Goka Ta Ken, from which stems Okinawan Karate. Master Robert A. Trias later restored the Kata to its present and original form. Since it is basically Chinese in movement, it was first known as Hopei-sho. GoPei Sho represents a peacock preparing to defend itself. As it slowly opens its wings, it goes into a series of wing-striking and clawing attacks that are intended to blind the attacker. (This history is taken from the Pinnacle of Karate by Robert Trias). Modified for wheelchair and performed here by burn survivor and bi-lateral above knee amputee, Jeremy Warriner, who first learned this form at the age of 15 when preparing for his Black Belt in Shorei Goju Ryu. The opening movements include side steps that are not possible in the wheelchair. Note the direction Jeremy is looking to recognize which way he would step if performing the kata on his prosthetics. Two kicks, a side kick and a crescent kick, are also not possible when performing GoPei Sho from the wheelchair; strikes are substituted for kicks when applicable.
