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.

Now you use head for something other than target.

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???

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.

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.
:lol: I totally understand!
