The hardest kata for me to learn was Kanku-dai. In the Tekkis I know the first two. but the third one looks hard but not impossible. _______________ Practice !!! http://www.geocities.com/firstblow

I think you had to have an open mind when you teach your students. But sometimes some teachers are so proud of themselve. I have a story of this instructor that always try to make us (students) look bad. I got in trouble one time with him. By this time there was 3 instructors in our dojo so he ask the others two to kick me out of the dojo. My instructors( the other two) tell him no. He got angry and left, making his own dojo. In a recent tournament I saw him. He was judging in the tournament. I was competing in individual kata and he was one of the judges. When I finish my kata (Bassa-dai) he was very surprise and told that I improve a lot. I told him thank you, that was my revenge and I left. It is true sometimes students can teach to the teachers. ______________________ Reputation is made in a moment: Character is built in a lifetime. http://www.geocities.com/firstblow

PRACTICE MAKES PERFECTION. janesa ______________ Success comes in cans; failure comes in can'ts.

Well, I can tell that I'm 35 years old and I only practice Shotokan karate for 3 years. My weight is 195 lbs. and I'm 5'3, so is not an excuse to stop karate. Karate helps me to be focus and in control. I'm always proud of myself. of course when I practice karate I never think that I'm heavy or old; I'm another karateka that wants to be the best! janesa _________________ The mighty oak was once a little nut that stood its ground.

Kata is part of karate. Our instructor use part of a kata to teach us self-defense or kumite. I took TKD and I didn't learn to much for one year. I'm been taking Shotokan for 3 years and I learn more than you think! Of course kata is not everything but is an important part of karate. _________ Pick your friends but not to pieces

I like bassa-dai because it is a strong kata. janesa ______________ Learn from other's mistakes rather than making them all yourself.

Hey I fell like I'm home thank you guys!!

I'm glad I'm not the only one. One time while I was shopping in Sams I practice kata (Kanku-dai).

Welcome!
