Joecooke007 Posted March 3, 2002 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronryu Posted March 3, 2002 Share 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 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaiFightsMS Posted March 6, 2002 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karateka Posted March 6, 2002 Share Posted March 6, 2002 Seianchin and Rohai. I like Bassai Dai as well, but the first two are my favourite. As well as Seipai!

G95champ Posted May 6, 2002 Share Posted May 6, 2002 I love Jitte. Not really sure why but I just took to it. (General George S.
