aefibird Posted February 22, 2004 Posted February 22, 2004 Hi all does anyone know of any good Skotokan kata websites? What I'm wanting is something that shows kata broken down into steps - I want it to print off for my beginners class! That means I need Kihon, Heian Shodan and Heian Nidan. I was hoping to find kata done as drawings, or even little cartoons, seen as the print-offs are going to be for my kids class. If we can't find anything really suitable on the net, then my instructor and me are going to have a session with my digital camera - he'll do the moves and I'll take pics and then print them off into kata sheets. Basically, I'd rather just print off someone elses sheets (far less hassle and a lot less swearing at the digital camera from me), so anyone know of any good ones (before I do a search on google)? Thanks a lot! "Was it really worth it? Only time and death may ever tell..." The Beautiful South - The Rose of My CologneSheffield Steelers!
GrrrArg Posted February 22, 2004 Posted February 22, 2004 There are some quite well known shotokan vids out there on the net, there known as the blue vids (because of the backround not anything seedy), best way to find them is to google for them though. Rob Redmond talks a bit about kata vids over at 24 chickens have a read there also.
aefibird Posted February 22, 2004 Author Posted February 22, 2004 Thanks Grr! I don't particularly want vids though, I was hoping to find good stills shots of lower grade kata. :-/ "Was it really worth it? Only time and death may ever tell..."

GrrrArg Posted February 22, 2004 Posted February 22, 2004 http://www.ussu.net/shotokan/kihonkata.htm Try this site, I googled "Kihon kata" to find it. Its links to this site http://www.shotojukukai.com/kata/kata.htm which has Kanazawa performing the kata.

tenkamusou Posted February 23, 2004 Posted February 23, 2004 http://www.geocities.com/faixa_preta/ it has wut you're looking for If you could improve yourself in only three or two months, everybody would be invencible...
ESA-Shotokan Posted February 25, 2004 Posted February 25, 2004 http://www.cam.ac.uk/societies/cukc/katapage/kata/heian_shodan.html Just change the kata name in the link.
gheinisch Posted February 26, 2004 Posted February 26, 2004 Check this site out. It shows the kata itself and then the bunkai of the kata. At least one application of it. Hope it helps. Oh, it's a German site but you can make out the names without a problem. Just not sure what everything thing else says. http://www.budostudienkreis.de/Video/VidUbers.htm "If your hand goes forth withhold your temper""If your temper goes forth withold your hand"-Gichin Funakoshi
