Samurai Shotokan Posted February 9, 2005 Posted February 9, 2005 Heihachi kata what is it?I know he does Okinawan karate but i dont know what his kata is. Does anyone know what it is called because i like it and i want to see if i can get a video of someone actually doing it because it is a nice kata. 28 movies, 50 years Godzilla is King of the Monsters"nothing like a good workout" Paul Pheonix
kzshin Posted February 9, 2005 Posted February 9, 2005 sigh, heihachi's kata is from Mishmaru ryu karate, which was name after his last name, that kata was his own, which is something that the video game programmer put it in and made up.
Taku-Shimazu Posted February 10, 2005 Posted February 10, 2005 Heihachi does not do Okinawan karate. He does Mishima style Karate. Note: This style is fictional, and if you question my sincerety consult any Tekken manual (The game he is originally from). Does any of you have it for Xbox, it has spawn as a character. The cool summer breeze passes me by.
Samurai Shotokan Posted February 11, 2005 Author Posted February 11, 2005 Umm i wasnt asking about the style i wanted to know if it was a real kata thats all. Its a nice looking traditional style kata( even if you say its made up) My only regret is that is to short.Its not like he did like 7 backflips and spinning roundhouse kicks for a showy kata thats good considering it was put in a video game 28 movies, 50 years Godzilla is King of the Monsters"nothing like a good workout" Paul Pheonix
Son Goku the monkeyking Posted February 13, 2005 Posted February 13, 2005 well there are many many katas in any martial arts style like hundreds so that kata may be out there somewhere but lost to the sands of time but if you look hard you might find it. PEACE
Skeptic 2004 Posted February 13, 2005 Posted February 13, 2005 I reveal too much of the geek in me with this reply.... If you've ever played Tekken 4, there's a secret movie you can unlock when you beat the game with Jin Kazama. Now, according to the game's nebulous storyline, Jin "unlearned" the Mishima-ryu karate and trained in "traditional karate" (nothing more specific than that from Namco, folks). The movie you unlock shows him doing a kata that looks very much like Pinan/Heian Yondan. Do you know who Chosin Chibana is...?The Chibana Project:http://chibanaproject.blogspot.com
mattyj Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 Does any of you have it for Xbox, it has spawn as a character. Yup hes good 2...
Nick_UKWC Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 I have SC2 on Xbox, quite like Spawn. I'm a Tekken nut though, and as a few people have said Heihachi, Jin and Kazuya all use 'Mishima style Karate' and in Tekken 4 (I assume so you don't have 3 characters with 90% of the same moves) Jin 'unlearns' Mishima style Karate and learns the highly ambiguous 'Traditional Karate' As an aside, Tekken 5 will have an online mode and anyone that wants a good game I'll be more than happy to take you on "...or maybe you are carrying a large vicious dog in your pocket." -Scottnshelly
battousai16 Posted February 17, 2005 Posted February 17, 2005 well, for what it's worth, i read somewhere that kazuya's move set is based off of kyokushin. not that that has any bearing on heihachi, but if they have the same style and all. and a lot of the SC2 forms i've recognized from else where. kilik's in particular i have videos of other people doing.
