Favorite Kata

[arcelt]

My favorite kata has always been Shisochin. I'm a rather lanky anglo sort, and I've sometimes been concerned that so many Okinawan kata seem to be built with the stereotypical compact Okinawan build in mind. Shisochin features long, deep stances and snappy movements that seem to flow more naturally with my body type.

I only know three. Actually I only know two am still learning Pinan Shodan.

Kihon Kata, Pinan Nidan, and Pinan Shodan.

I really like KIHON KATA, it's the first one I learned.

Sanchin is by far my favorite kata. It builds karate posture, teaches you how to be rooted yet mobile, is good physical training, and makes for stronger techniques in my opinion. I do it every day.

Chinte is a great kata - I think it's quite under-rated. Certainly the bunkai is quite exotic!

What is Kihon Kata, is it the basic "I" type of Kata?
