Jion

[Jiffy]

Personally I do enjoy Jion. It's a nice Kata and follows the traditional shape. Unfortunately, I don't really get much chance to do it. I'm now starting to get my but into gear and do Kata in the mornings now, so I'm doing more and more.

I think that Jion is for short people becuase it has vry powerful moves in it. When you put a short person and and a tall person to do that kata, the tall person has less balance than the short person. All this is according to my Sensei

I like Jion becuase I am short, but not midget short. And I have a muscular structure. But my kata is Bassai Dai

i don't think if you ever see a world class kata performer taller than 6'.

Mmmm, I always thought that Jion was a larger person's kata (not taller just wider -- which I was and am) but since I am only 5'9" (in the morning) now I understand my love of the kata. Maybe it's because shorter people are closer to the ground and have a lower centerpoint of gravity??? Interesting comment you made from your Sensei. Thanks

Kanku-Dai is a good kata for a very tall person.

I agree with you Cathal, i find this kata difficult and i am rather small!
