What Katas do you know?

[miguksaram]

Are we talking strictly karate katas? If so then:

Taikioko - Ichi, Ni & San

Wansu

Tai Ichi Gedan

Anaku

Gyakusei

Empi-sho

Seionchin

Neifuchin

Sanchin

Basai-dai

Tai Ichi Neko

Dahnan-Sho

Gopai-Sho

[mudansha]

I guess that depends on how you define "know".

Our sensei says one knows a kata when he can perform the kata with confidence, precision and power. When he can perform all aspects of the kata including every uki position in the bunkai.

If that is the criterion, then the only kata I know is Taekyoku Shodan.

If we are speaking only the kata and not the bunkai and only confidence, precision and power, I feel fairly confident in:

Taekyoku Shodan

Taekyoku Nidan

Taekyoku Sandan

Taekyoku Yondan

Taekyoku Godan

Heian Shodan

Heian Nidan

Heian Sandan

Heian Yondan

Heian Godan

Bassai Dai

If what you mean is I know the moves...but am not up to par with technique, I know the moves to the following kata:

Empi

Tekki Shodan

Nijushiho

Kanku Sho

[Vierna]

Taikyoku shodan

Heian shodan

Heian nidan

Heian sandan

Bassai dai

Jion

Empi

Tekki shodan

and I started learning Kanku dai

Kanku-dai. My Brown Belt kata - great kata. I did Gankaku and my primary and Kanku-dai as my secondary in tournaments.

[quinteros1963]

Just curious, you and I know many of the same kata, who is your instructor? I know that everything you named is a part of our curriculum. I trained in CNY for a couple of years. Sounds like the Van Lenten line of goju.
