Rick_72 Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 IMO,the coolest katas out there are(no particular order)1-Sanseiru from Uechi-ryu school2-Anan from Ryuei-ryu school3-Matsumura Hakutsuru from Hohen Soken lineage.I've never even seen Hakutsura lol. Its a Hachidan kata (pretty sure). The only black belt in my school that know's it is our Sensei, and he's a Rokudan in Matsumura Seito, and Nanadan in Okinawa Te. I'm sure it's gotta be cool.I don't really have a favorite kata. What I like to do when I'm practicing on my own is start at the bottom and work all of the 13 empty hand kata's that I know in order one after the other without stopping....then try to keep from passing out .

Sojiro47 Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 I have a few favorite katas. The first is Bassai Dai. The second is a Kata called Chubanna Kosanku. Chubanna has a very nice double jump. I aslo doing a Kata named Shinpan Cho. This a very spiritual kata and means alot to me. "Karate isn't being able to fight, but knowing when to."

kilogreen Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 My favourite kata is Gojushiho dai. It used to be the worst and i hated it. After a month or two of doing it intensely every session with sensei i have seen the kata for what it is, truly a thing of raw power mixed with flowing techniques, a beautiful thing..! Half empty or half full? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syphax Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 I am a Tang Soo Do guy and I have to say that my favorites are Jin Do and Kong Sang Koon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fosgate Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Hmm, favorite form. I'd have to say Bassai since I've taught and demonstrated it the most. Chil Sung Sam Lo runs a close second. I love sticking those crane stances. Any of you other Tang Soo Do people learned a form called "Ing"? TANG SOO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
