jaymac Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 I think definitely, mine would be Kanku Dai. A great martial artist is one who is humble and respectful of others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gyte Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 (edited) My two favourite katas are Kanku Dai and Tekki Shodan.Why?Kanku Dai :Is a very long kata. Because of that it offers a great workout for the human body. It's a very dynamic kata containing punches, blocks, front kicks, side kicks and a jumping double kick. Almost all parts of the body are being trained by it. It has also an arsenal of techniques and combinations ready to be used for seldefense.Tekki Shodan :Is a short kata, with very practical techiques based on selfdefense. For a short kata, it is very rich of applications. It can be practised almost anywhere, you don't need much space to practise this kata. I even practise this kata in my office sometimes.
