SaiFightsMS Posted November 5, 2001 Share Posted November 5, 2001 I have enjoyed reading the thread on favorite kata's. I love the passion of my fellow students to their art and the pursuit of this art. So now, did you have a kata that was really harder for you to learn than the other kata's? One you worked your butte off on and still felt frustrated? Do you have a kata you had a more difficult time of learning to perform well? A kata you knew how to do, but just couldn't quiet do it right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaiFightsMS Posted November 6, 2001 Author Share Posted November 6, 2001 :bawling:I found Heian shodan to be very difficult to learn. For some reason I just could not remember what I learned from class to class. I found Jutte easy to remember how to do but, very hard to do properly.

moobrack Posted November 6, 2001 Share Posted November 6, 2001 I have learned Nijushiho in class a few weeks back, I found it not too difficult to learn, but the problem arose when trying to perform it well. I had a hard time understanding the moderation of power and focus in certain techniques, I ended up doing the soft focused ones fast and powerfull,and the fast and powerfull ones, softly and focused. I had a very hard time learning Enpi. But once I had learned it and run through it a couple of times, I was ok and relatively used to it, and can perform it well.

SaiFightsMS Posted November 7, 2001 Author Share Posted November 7, 2001 Oh the Tekki's. I so still occasionally tangle my feet up crossing over into kosa dachi. It can be embarrasing to have to flail my arms to keep my balanace. I allways hope no one is looking then. The best thing about the first 2 is I can do them in my living room without having to adjust my stances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KUGB_Chris1985 Posted November 7, 2001 Share Posted November 7, 2001 I found Tekki Shodan very easy to learn and i can do it really well, but i can't learn any of the other Tekki kata's to save my life! Nijushiho is hard to start of because of the opening move and the slow, controlled moves throughout the kata! i can do it quite well but i'm now master my best kata that i perform is Empi! as most of the moves are stong and focused!

Musashi Posted November 21, 2001 Share Posted November 21, 2001 Unsu was probably the hardest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
