Gekisai

[jnpnshr411]

Hsa anyone learned the kata Gekisai. And what level do you learn it?

[kyospirit]

In Kyokushin you learn gekisai dai and gekisai sho at brown belt .

[jnpnshr411]

Is Kyokushin anything similar to Shotokan?

[1st KYU]

in my club (goju ryu) we learn gekisai ich and gekisai ni...at green

[italian_guy]

Gekisai Ich and ni at Yellow (Orange belt test).

Our belt system goes (White, Yellow, Orange, Green, Blue, Brown, Black). So Gekisai Ich (and ni) is the 4th (5th) kata we learn.

Correct , however , i learned them after grading the black belt .

gekisai dai is one of my favorites katas

[kyospirit]

I like Gekisai Sho better , I also like Saifa and Seienchin

[ivette_green]

All kata is good kata. We get gekisai sho and dai from shotokan do we not?

[Tanren]

There are two Gekisai Kata. Gekisai dai itch and Gekisai dai ni they are usualy the first two katas you will learn in Goju-Ryu if you dont learn Sanchin first.

Gekisai dai ni is almost the same as Gekisai dai itch it just contains Goju-Ryu specifig technics like Hiki-uke and Mawaschi-uke.

Gekisai dai itch is also practiced in Matsubayashi-Ryu I think its called Fukyu-kata-ni there.
