Favorite Kata

[Rick_72]

IMO,the coolest katas out there are(no particular order)

1-Sanseiru from Uechi-ryu school

2-Anan from Ryuei-ryu school

3-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 .

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.

I really like my current form, Gae Baek. For colored belt ranks, I like Yul Gok.

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..!

I am a Tang Soo Do guy and I have to say that my favorites are Jin Do and Kong Sang Koon.

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"?

I have heard of it, but I have not personally seen it. Who created it?
