Hi all
I have been doing Ishinryu karate for about 5 weeks(2 hours a week) and this monday I have to perform my first kata in front of the class. The problem is that I was shown the kata twice by one of the other students performing it but I still can't do it correct and seem to forget what I have to do. I really want to perform the kata well on monday but without knowing what the kata is called or finding any info online I can't practice. Can anyone tell me what the first kata might be called or a website showing me the steps to performing it.
Thank-you |

I'm not familiar with Ishinryu at all much less the katas, but I am sure that for someone who has only been training for five weeks, you are doing just fine as long as you try your best and you are showing a lot of concern for improvement and details  So far so good as far as I can tell

Can you describe the first group of moves in the kata? Does the name Seisan ring a bell?

| The name Seisan does not ring a bell sorry.. I do remeber that the first move is a left downward punch. You body is facing forward i think and the punch is at a angle facing your knee kinda. Hope this helps. |

Turn to the left and down block. Continuing to the left step and punch.
180 degree turn and down block. Continuing to the right step and punch.
Turn to the front and down block.
Step and punch 3 times?
Ring a bell?

| If SaifightsMS is right the kata is Taikyoku Shodan from Shotokan. The first Heian Kata starts much the same as well with the escape added. |

Many styles add introductory kata that are not traditonally part of their styles cirriculum. Actually the beginning I described is know by 5 or 6 different names. It is practiced by many styles.

Thanks for everybodys help
From what people have have posted I would guess the kata is Heian shodan. It sounds right including the moves and the way the kata starts. I have done some research and will do some basic pratice. Hopefully all will be cool tomorrow..
Thanks again |

Krozor come back and tell us how it went. Heian katas are not generally practiced in Isshinryu.
