Zorbasan Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 its probably their name for somethign that is pretty standard, or its something they have come up with as a training tool.i havent heard of it myself.

bushido_man96 Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 I have not heard of it either. From what I know, the Heian series are the first in most Shotokan Karate schools. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kkennedy219 Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 It might be the name they use for the elementary kata "Taikyoku Shodan". My school calls it "Kihon Kata". I just counted and there are 12 points in it, though. You Tube has tons and tons of video clips listed under either name. Why did I have the bowl, Bart? WHY DID I HAVE THE BOWL???

ps1 Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 12 points in Taikyoku Shodan? There are 20 I believe. Simplified, they are:block, punch, block, punch, block, punch, punch, punch, block, punch, block, punch, block, punch, punch, punch, block, punch, block, punch.Unless you count elements that are combined in rhythm, there are twenty movements, not counting return to yoi and bowing.

kkennedy219 Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 Yeah, you're right...20 in the full kata, 12 in just the first "I". What was I thinking...that'll teach me to post messages so early in the AM. Why did I have the bowl, Bart? WHY DID I HAVE THE BOWL??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
