Blade96 Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Heian ShodanJust this oneI'm a little white belt. But if you count the 2 months of Kenpo I did then i know 2 kata's. heian shodan and Kenpo's Elbow Kata. Some people regard discipline as a chore. For me it is a kind of order that sets me free to fly.You don't have to blow out someone else's candle in order to let your own flame shine.

It's got a bit of everything in there!I love Katas. They're so pretty and artistic and spiritual.... 'peaceful mind' =]and I hate it when people say 'its just a pile of stances' Then you know, they dont understand anything. Some people regard discipline as a chore.

WireFrame Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Oh man, learning 3 new Katas in as many training sessions? What's gotten into my sensei lately? I was doing Empi, Kanku Dai, and starting Hangetsu tonight! Ouch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WireFrame Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Katas might not be the ONLY way to get those benefits, but they're still a good way to train in my opinion. My body was screaming that fact at me last night haha.Each kata contains a lot of the basic techniques, so I'd rather work on perfecting katas than drill the basics (which I would also do). Then kumite compliments kata being as its the other side of karate. Just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
