Although I did my share of Sochin, I never really cared for the kata that much. It seemed that all the kata tournaments was to see who did the best Sochin - everone was doing Sochin as their primary kata. That's why I made Gankaku as my primary kata - plus I really liked that kata.

Same stance.

 

The Fudo is nicknamed Sochin ONLY because that stance is done in the kata Sochin. The stance name is NOT Sochin but it is often refered to as so because thats one of the few times we do practice it.

A funny thing is that in Kyokushinkai a stance exists called fudo dachi, but it's not the same stance as the fudo dachi in Shotokan. The Kyokushinkai fudo dachi is the same stance as the hachi dachi in Shotokan. This can sometimes be pretty confusing when you cross train in both styles.

I always found it funny that we teach beginners to do a "proper" front stance with a straight back leg and front knee bent to the right degree and then later on teach them to do sochin - which is how they did the front stance to start with! :D

lol, yeah it is a bit of a karate oddity that one.

 

It's like telling them they're wrong then changing it and telling them that, yes, you were right after all... :lol:

Learn to do it the hard way first so when you do it the simpler way you are much more effective.
