What Katas do you know?


Espina

Recommended Posts

Though I'm generally the person with the least kata learned in my dojo, I've been striving to add a few more (marked with "*") to my list lately.

taikyoku shodan* (lol, I've been training ten years and I just learned this one last month so as to assist in teaching it to a four-year-old)

heian shodan

heian nidan

heian sandan

heian yondan

heian godan

tekki shodan

tekki nidan

bassai dai

enpi

jion

kanku dai

kanku sho

wankan*

jiin*

sochin**

unsu**

bassai sho**

**ones that I'm still pretty terrible at =_=

I'm really liking wankan a lot though. It's very... concise.

The past is no more; the future is yet to come. Nothing exist except for the here and now. Our grand business is not to see what lies dimly at a distance, but to do what's clearly is clearly at hand...Lets continue to train!

Since I last posted about a year ago, I've added three more kata (not counting the two I learned during my two week stint in the Taekwondo class. I think they were just short, numbered, repeating forms made up by the instructor). So now I know our versions of:

Fukugata Sho

Kyozai

Annaku

Seisan

Saifa

Seiunchin

Naihanchi

Wansu

Chinto

To get my black belt in Shotokan Karate, I had to learn the following kata's forwards, backwards as well as bunkai (application):

Heian Nidan

Heian Sandan

Heian Yondan

Heian Godan

Tekki Shodan

Bassai Dai

However since I haven't practiced Shotokan karate since 2002 and since then moved on to Freestyle karate, now kickboxing... Actually doing them now is a different story...
