I agree with Ronnryu; he wrote:

Wow its hard to name a favorite kata I love them all in different ways .

 

So if I have to point out just one, well - I have a love/hate relationship with Seienchin. It's such a strong kata. I love the breathing, the rythm, the movements. But it's quite physically demanding. It's sort of challenging me, saying: Can you do me? Can you make it to the end and keep all the movements strong? :D

Imagination is more important than knowledge.

mine would probably be kanku-dai or chinte in the shotokan system.

I'm finding that my taste in kata is changing over time. What I used to despise I now enjoy. I like different katas more at different times depending on my mood. Today I'm feeling kinda Tekki with a little Empi on the side.... :brow:

Pain is only temporary, the memory of that pain lasts a lifetime.

I find that my 'favourite' kata depends on my mood (as Shotochem has already said). I like all the kata I do, it's difficult for me to choose just one favourite.

 

However, current 'flavour of the month' for me are Meikyo (Rohai), Kanku Sho, Nijushiho and Sochin.

 

Out of the Heian kata series my fave is Heian Yondan.

eh, a lot of other practitioners frown on this but we're MOSTLY based on Shotokan, however, my school has made self-defense a larger part of the curriculum so other styles have been thrown in. also we have a black belt club where we're exposed to more karate kata as well as other martial arts such as capoeira and wushu. sorry if you were looking for a one word answer :')
