cmantim Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 I just started learning Wansu yesterday...I think this one definitly shows some promise. Anybody have any opinions about this particular kata? "Pain is weakness leaving the body".....my Makiwara tells me so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattys Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 My all-time favourite is most definitely Kusanku... more because of the fact that it's so many different kata combined, I get the all inclusive package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yukimi Ajikuro Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 Pasai Dai...hm..I'm a horrible speller, but I really like it karateka of Kobayashi Shorin-ryu karate-do(since 2000)"A human life is truly as frail and fleeting as the morning dew." -Rashomon “Like everyone else, you want to learn the way to win, but never to accept the way to lose. To accept defeat, to learn to die is to be liberated from it. So when tomorrow comes you must free your ambitious mind and learn the art of dying.” BL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorin Ryuu Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 Getting back to that naihanchi to the front...it is almost the same as naihanchi to the side in terms of overall form, but it begins to the front with a cat stance. A lot of the stances are facing a forty-five degree angle to either side and it is actually about twice as long as naihanchi shodan, as it is basically done twice. Obviously due to some changes in some of the stances and emphases, some of the techniques are slightly different, but someone familiar with naihanchi could learn it in a day (before people spam me, I said learn, not master).

Karate-addict Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 My favourite katas are: Sanchin (because it is the fundamental kata of Uechi-Ryu karate) & Seisan (because it's very hard and dynamic). Also, both are original chinese kata that Kanbun Uechi (the founder) brought from China in 1910. hara wo neru Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
