quinteros1963 Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 We also learn several non goju katas. My instructor has incuded these into our system. I believe they are shorin ryu kata. His instructor spent time in Okinowa studying Naha Te, Shorin and Goju ryu, which has some influence on our system.Hi quinteros1963There are many of them which I've never heard of, and I practice Goju Ryu too...These ones I haven't heard of:SeihaTaikyoKho ShoSho KyuAnakuThe rest of course I have heard of them, I know them and in fact practice them a lot. 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wouldbemaster Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 It has been very interesting to read about the various kata/forms that people study and your idea's on the purpose of kata.When examining kata it is interesting to see what the various kata teach you, what their main focus is. It becomes obvious that they are not purely a repeat of a fight that took place, what would be the point in remembering this as fights are different, but instead helping you to remember key principles, or focus in on one or two principles or movement and power etc the Pinan katas are a classic example in the context of power and stance with Nidan strongly about utilising and moving into a forward stance, Shodan about reverse movement of hips in shuto for example and the use of half facing cat stance and Sandan about absorbing through the use of front facing cat stance.What have others found regarding fundamentals. Why study a particular kata what does each kata tell us/teach us/get us to focus on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kempohands Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Well I've learned a whole lot of forms/katas in my kempo training, though they all have English names (except for a couple of the kung-fu forms we've integrated into the system), so I'll leave those out as I'm not sure which traditional karate katas they come from.I just started training in a traditional karate system while away at school and have so far learned:Taikyoku ShodanHeian NidanHeian GodanHanto-no Inochi Kumi Awase (created by the founder of Tatsu-do Karate, specific to his particular system, so far as I know) "To win a fight without fighting, that is the true goal of a martial artist." -Grandmaster Nick Cerio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
