Tournament Patterns/Katas

[karatekid1975]

I competed a lot with Taegeuk 7. But I have done Taegeuk 3 and 4 in the past, and Pyung ahn ee dan (in TSD).

But I don't have a fav in ITF TKD yet. I do like Chun Moo so far, though.

I enjoy Chung moo, as well. I also like Hwa-Rang and Toi-Gye.

the best i did in competition was with enpi, though i could probably do kanku dai better. next time i enter a competition i'll probably do kanku or jitte.

[Isshinryu_heart]

my tournament kata for empty hand is chinto, weapons is kusanku sai.

I hardly ever compete though and when I do its only for inter-school competitions

[Jiffy]

Generally, Bassai Dai or Empi. Maybe Kanku Dai

[legkicker]

Chinto was the first Kata I really felt that I made "mine". I placed first in '96 USANKF Nationals with Chinto. I've had good success with Unsu in tournaments, as well. I have only tied once and used Superenpei to win with. I haven't competed in kata competition since '97.

i do like chung mu for ITF TKD (actually, its probably the only one i can remember start to finish now)

for WTF i like Taeguek 6 or 8, im really not a fan of 7.

for shotokan, i really like heain yon dan (thats as far as i am at the moment anyway), but if i knew them i also like empi and teki sho dan.

[Jiffy]

Tekki Shodan??

That's surprising, most guys that are stocky (like yourself) don't seem to like that Kata.

[Zorbasan]

i rekon its a funky kata. and for competition it is short and quick and there fore less opportunitys to forget/make mistakes.

and if done properly, can look really good. also, for competition, you will always be facing the judges.

I'm entering a tournament next weekend and I've chosen Jion, Sochin and Kanku Dai as my 3 best tournament katas. Apart from a small tournament I competed in back in May, the last tournament I entered was over 3 years ago!
