Joecooke007 Posted March 3, 2002 Posted March 3, 2002 What is your favorite kata and why? I'm going to wait awhile to see what others say before I disclose my personal favorite. Boards don't hit back. -Bruce Lee
ronryu Posted March 3, 2002 Posted March 3, 2002 Thats a tough one to answer i like so many kata but i guess i would have to say that shisochin and chinto are the 2 that i really concentrate on right now . but i love all of the ones i know they are all very important in different asspects. The reason is they are from different parts of thinking naha te and tomari/shuri te , but both have very unique bunkai . _________________ Karate is not a sport , it is a way of life .

Piastre Posted March 3, 2002 Posted March 3, 2002 Seienchin is my favorite kata. I like it because it is so strong, and done well, looks impressive. It's also physically quite demanding. I also like annanku and rohai. Although I don't think that many styles do annanku.
ronryu Posted March 6, 2002 Posted March 6, 2002 We also practice ananku however it is not one of our required kata . Karate is not a sport , it is a way of life .Sandan Motobu ha Shi-to ryu karate Katsu ryu kempo Ryukyu kobudo
SaiFightsMS Posted March 6, 2002 Posted March 6, 2002 Hey I do ananku too. It is kind of a fun kata. I like the slide steps. I like the change of pace movements too.
Karateka Posted March 6, 2002 Posted March 6, 2002 Seianchin and Rohai. I like Bassai Dai as well, but the first two are my favourite. As well as Seipai! "Never hit a man while he's down; kick him, its easier"Sensei Ron Bagley (My Sensei)
Nidan Posted March 7, 2002 Posted March 7, 2002 My favorite kata has to be Bassai Dai. Its mind over matterIf I dont mind you dont matter
SaiFightsMS Posted May 6, 2002 Posted May 6, 2002 One of my favorite things is kata. So let's bring this back up. What is your favorite kata?
G95champ Posted May 6, 2002 Posted May 6, 2002 I love Jitte. Not really sure why but I just took to it. (General George S. Patton Jr.) "It's the unconquerable soul of man, and not the nature of the weapon he uses, that ensures victory."
Pacificshore Posted May 6, 2002 Posted May 6, 2002 When I was studying Shotokan, my favorite kata was Nijushiho. Di'DaDeeeee!!!Mind of Mencia
