Kumite988 Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 Mine are Chatanyara Kushanku: Because it has a cool name..no just joking =P. I like the really fast moves in it and also the crossleg stance parts. The beginning is very fun to watch/perform also. Nipaipo: I like chatanyara for the fast moves, nipaipo for the slow ones =). The crane stance part is fun also. Unshu: I like the middle section of this kata, when you pivot on one foot and then block. Pinan Godan: Because it is one of the first katas I learned and I feel like i've gotten it down quite well. Superennpi(Spelling?) I like it because it's so long, and takes so much focus, and can be very beautiful to perform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aefibird Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 Rohai/Meikyo I like the tempo of this kata Unsu For the applications Wansu The stances and movement in it Heian Yondan (my fave of the Heians) Hey, I just like it! Enpi (the free-choice kata I performed for my Shodan) This one is special to me as it took me ages to nail this kata. I deliberately chose this one to work on for Shodan, as I felt it was my weakest kata out of the list of free choice kata Other kata I like but don't know too well are Kururunfu Seipai "Was it really worth it? Only time and death may ever tell..." The Beautiful South - The Rose of My CologneSheffield Steelers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Jules Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 I love kata.....all kata.....thats where the secrets of the system are contained. Each Goju kata has its own unique "attitude", so somedays I prefer one over another. I really feel very much "at home" when performing Seisan, as it is known as a "fire" kata....suits my personality, and Seipai as well. as far as breathing forms go, I love Tensho. ~Master Jules......aka "The Sandman""I may be a trained killer......but Im really a nice guy" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncole_91 Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 Well the only Kata that I know is, is Kiso Gedan, and I think it is a Kata my Shihan made for the beginners. I guess that is my favourite Kata. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kumite988 Posted January 5, 2005 Author Share Posted January 5, 2005 Oh yeah I forgot, I've ran through Kururunfa a few times and I was just overwhelmed, seems really hard to learn. I liked it a lot though just because it's unconvential. Espeically that part where you thrust your head upwards... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killer Miller Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 Although I've had quite a few lunches and dinners with Nishiyama over the years, I've been out of touch the past several years with work and family issues and hardships. I use to run into Sensei on occasion, but haven't seen him in a while. I need to get down to Central one of these days and say hi and see who's still around. If I do, I'll give him an Osu just for you... He's actually a great person, great father, as well as a great man. - Killer -I like Empi, Unsu, Nijushiho, Gankaku, Kankudai as my favorites.
