Hello all, I hope somebody can help me, I have 2 questions related tro shotokan karate: 1-) I think that Sanbon Kumite sequence 1 and 2 are taught in green belt, at which level sequences 3, 4 and 5 are taught? 2-) I don't see on the shotokan syllabus several techniques, for example Kakato geri, ura mawashigeri, mikazuki geri, teisho uchi, Kakiwake uke, tate zuki, kagi zuki to name a few. Are these techniques taught individually in shotokan or just via katas? If they are taught individually, at which level are they taught? is there any more complete syllabus that includes these techniques? Thank you very much everybody for your help

Thank you, everybody for taking time to clarify and give your opinions

Hello everyone, I hope someone can give me an advice, how do we choose in which stand to perform a technique (kick, block, punch or strike)? I know that blocks can be done in cat or back stance but we can do it also in front stance or sometimes in kiba dachi. There is also fudo dachi and sanchin dachi, can someone tell me what are the considerations to take when we choose an stance for punches, kicks, strikes or blocks? Thank you very much in advance

Just a clarification, please. When you say you can punch from all stances, does this mean that you can do for example a junzuki or gyakuzuki from cat stance or back stance or that you move from this stance to the front stance to punch?What about the blocks? Thank you

I really want to thank everybody for their reply. One question I have in mind now, DWx mentioned that it is different for hand strikes and blocks...does this mean that I cannot execute all blocks and strikes in all stances? For example, it is not possible to do a punch in back stance ? Thank you again, this really helps me a lot
