Kata: Anom

[Konigbreaker]

My sensei gave me some of this kata a few months ago as a gift. I have always been curious about this kata. I have never heard of it before, and I can't find anything about it on the web on any books. I saw one video of an "Anom" but there were major variations in that kata, and I can't find the video anymore.

Does anybody know anything about this kata? It's origins, what it means, ect. Please, I am very curious.

i never heard of Okinawan kata name "Anom", may be you are reffering to "Anan".

I think if you do a search for Anan, you will find your search more fruitful.

Here's the best I've found. It has some variations, propably because it's a very high level competition.

Does anybody know any history about Anan? It's meaning? What art it is?

Anan was a chines boxing master , Anan is a Naha-te kata , the most famous Anan is Ryuei ryu version which won a world title (performed by sakamoto) Mabuni also had his version so shito ryu also practice Anan, Konishi learnet it from mabuni and adapted to Shindo jenin ryu as well.
