|

Ladies and Gentlemen
A question for you, I know that some have not reached the levels of others and only know a few Kata but base for those who only know a few please answer with what you know and what you would like to learn.
The question is double barrelled.
Which are your favourite Kata?
And If you were only allowed to practice 5 Kata, which 5 would they be?
My answers are:-
Which are your favourite Kata
Jissen kata Ichi
Jissen kata Ni
Kihon kata San
Kihon kata Ni
Nage kata San
Kumite kata Yon
Pinan Shodan (Heian Nidan, Pyung Ahn E Dan)
Pinan Yodan (Heian Yodan, Pyung Ahn Sa Dan)
Naihanchi (Tekki Shodan, Nahanchi Cho Dan)
Chinto (Gankaku)
Bassai
Rohai
My Shortlist would be
1. Jissen (this would be a Hybrid of the 2)
2. Kumite (this would be a Hybrid of the 4)
3. Kihon San (or a hybrid of all 3)
4. Naihanchi (Tekki Shodan)
5. Chinto (Gankaku)
NOTE- If the kata is known as various different names please would you add them in brackets next to them _________________ "Challenge is a Dragon with a Gift in its mouth....Tame the Dragon and the Gift is Yours....." Noela Evans (author)

If i could chose 5 to keep they would be Nujishio (cant spell it), Jion, Hangetsu, Heian Yondan, Bassai-Sho. As it happens they are my faves anyway, love practising them. _________________ Walk away and your always a winner. www.shikata-shotokan.co.uk |

1. Kanku Dai - simply because it has parts of the 5 heians in it. So Im getting 6 for the price of 1.
2. Tekki - Pick one don't much matter but the ground work they teach must be kept.
3. Sochin - Great kata for teaching the hard and soft of karate
4. Bassai Dai - Great kata for teaching the hard.
5. Empi - the grace, speed, throwing techinques all taught in it are very important and it carries a speed or rythem to it not many kata do. _________________ (General George S. Patton Jr.) "It's the unconquerable soul of man, and not the nature of the weapon he uses, that ensures victory." |
