Help with finding Katas


Recommended Posts

I am looking for something NEW. I know a whole bunch of katas, but I am bored. Does anyone know where I can find some. I do not neccessarily need a video, just a list of movements with stances would work. If I have to resort to buying videos that is fine to. I have searched the internet EVERYWHERE. HELP please.

Thanks

Heather

You are only as good as you believe you can be!

It might help a bit to list what kata you DO know. Otherwise you'll get a whole lot of suggestions that you have to reply "I know that one" to.

i understand what you mean by being bored, go back to the root, pickup one or two katas from okinawan karate and focus on finding all the sources about them, i give you two names , these are very good katas out of TKD lineage,

1- Anan look for the original version of Ryuei-ryu school of karate

http://www.wonder-okinawa.jp/023/eng/010/index.html

2- Sanseiru from Uechi ryu school of karate

(last performer , down the page. not the blue jumping jack), http://www.uechi-ryu.com/videos/u_kata.html

these two give you a taste of open hands/ hands up karate. i am not trying to pull you into another style , just look at them as art of karate masterpieces.

my 2cents.

try the UTI(Unified Tae Kwon Do International), https://www.unifiedtkd.com, forms. They were created by Grandmaster Scoot L. Kopperud, and range from 24 movements to 113(alpha and omega have yet to be created). The good part about his forms are the movements are never used twice, so a right arm down block would be used once and left side once too, and they are fun to watch. try them, the posters are $20 each, discounts are applied if you order more than one.

martial arts may be made fun of by people who dont understand them---teach these people the true beauty and power of our arts and they will learn, understand, and remember for forever.

I aslo like to know what forms you know. Are you ITF TKD or WTF TKD? Try Tang Soo Do forms, or the earlier versions of them (Shotokan versions and Shorin Ryu and earlier) and the bunkai. You won't be bored ;)
