Goju_boi Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 well if u look up the history or info about goju-ryu u will see that theres only 12 original katas.As for your school,it's probably just following a different lineage of Goju-ryu or something.It's not that I don't believe you(necause I do),I'm just telling u theres originally 12 katas. https://www.samuraimartialsports.com for your source of Karate,Kobudo,Aikido,And Kung-Fu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
italian_guy Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 Yes, I agree on the number of 12 as the original goju katas, in addition to that we also have the 3 Taikioku which makes a total of 15. 35 is way too much.Also in our school there are kata that are learned only at black belt level. The coloured belt kata list includes:3 Taikioku (jodan,chudan,gedan)2 Gekisai dai (Ichi, ni)SanchinTenshoSaifaShisocinSeienchinSo we learn 7 out of 12 classical kata before black belt. (plus 3 non-classical) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shogeri Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 That's about the same as Okinawan Goju Ryu.

JimmyNewton Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 I know it easy to get overwhelmed with that list. just take it one day at a time. like the cliche..dont worry about the destination, enjoy the journey.just work hard and you'll reap the benfits and learn all the katas eventually. and 4-5 years sounds good for the black belt.good luck "The wise and successsful will always be met with violent opposition by mediocre minds."

shogeri Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 3rd in what learned as well, since I believe they double up on requirements. I know some schools that do 1 traditional kata (along with a weapon form) per dan up to 5th.I don't recall my 4th dan sensei ever saying that he had more to learn in regards to kata, bunkai, kumite. He did go to the top seminars and to Okinawa, in order to expand his current knowledge.But this was a long time, ago, so I am not recalling of all it right now.
