Jion


Shotokan-kez

Recommended Posts

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.

The mind is like a parachute, it only works when it's open.

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

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.
