I think definitely, mine would be Kanku Dai.

A great martial artist is one who is humble and respectful of others.

Open hand: Chinto

Weapon: Shorinryu/Shorin kan no Eku dai Ich.

Chinto has been my best kata for years...I also like Kusanku as well though.

I train in Go-Kan-Ryu. My two favourite katas are probably Seiunchin and Empi

Hummmm....

Hangetsu for breathing.

Ananku for shifting and speed.

Bassai Dai for explosive power.

Wankan No Tekko for raw power.

Bassai Sho for balance.

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.
