Is it freestyle or are you doing it with a pattern? If it's Freestyle you should come up with a routine and perfect it to death. gl

go to https://www.wonder-okinawa.jp

 

under okinawan karate look for Naha-te ,under naha-te look for ryuei ryu katas, down load "Anan" kata and check it out. also "Gojushiho" looks good.

 

kusanku dai is good too.

 

if your are into kata business in tournoments then you need to know some katas from different styles.

 

normally from Goju ryu or shito-ryu.

 

although sensei Sakamoto won the world title mainly by Ryuei ryu katas.

I agree with P.A.L. on this in that in competition it is a good idea to have variety in your forms. If you are into the Jap/Oki forms you should seriously check out Ryuei-ryu, especially if you are living in the San Diego area. UCSD has a Ryuei-ryu school and training group. Shito-ryu has the largest variety of forms in one style, it is like a melting pot of Okinawan forms. If you are into Korean forms you should look into ITF TKD or maybe into Hwarang-do, they both have some very nice forms.

 

If you are into Chinese arts you should check out wushu or one of the northern styles, they have some very nice kicks or if you are not a high kicker look into a southern style like Hung Gar or Choy Li Fut.

 

It really depends on what type of competition we are talking about and for what division.

Wouldn't try Anan or Gojyushiho unless your pretty advanced (blackbelt). What belt are you? Probably some kind of Kushanku would be good, or Rohai or something.

I posted these links on another forum (WEAPONS), but thought you might want to view them here. It's me and my kids doing a weapons demo for the first time:

 

Ross, Shannon and myself doing Tae Guk Oh Jang:

Nice clips. I especially liked the one of you all performing Tae Guk Oh Jang together with the bo and the sai. Good demo!

You could try looking for tokumine-no-kun bo kata, fairly easy to learn and look good, it's okinawan, can be found in many styles...isshin,shorin,etc...
