SaiFightsMS Posted November 5, 2001 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?

SaiFightsMS Posted November 6, 2001 Author 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 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.

Karateka_latino Posted November 6, 2001 Posted November 6, 2001 Believe it or not.. Back then when i was a shotokan stylist. I founded extremely dificult to learn and perform the Tekki katas.. I don't know why, but i was really messed up. lol
bagpuss Posted November 6, 2001 Posted November 6, 2001 yes i agree the tekki kata's are hard to do im just starting them and finding it hard.

SaiFightsMS Posted November 7, 2001 Author 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.
KUGB_Chris1985 Posted November 7, 2001 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!
