Lupin1 Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Let's see... My sensei likes to add in some non-Isshinryu kata adapted to Isshinryu while people are just starting to work on basics before starting Seisan. He also likes to modify kata for beginners and then adds to them once people reach black belt.When I was younger I learned these modified kata:White Belt-- Fukyugata Sho (Shorin ryu)Purple Belt-- Annaku (Shorin ryu)Orange Belt-- Seisan (the first Isshinryu kata)Yellow Belt-- Saifa (Goju ryu)Advanced Yellow Belt-- Seiunchin (2nd Isshinryu kata)I only remember Sho, Annaku, Seisan and the beginning of Seiunchin, though, so once I'm done refreshing my memory on all the finer points of the first three, I'm going to have to slow down and relearn the two Yellow Belt kata.

armanox Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 White Belt-- Fukyugata Sho (Shorin ryu)Who is Gata?"-gata" is the pronunciation of "kata" when combined with another word, IIRC. "Karate is NOT about the colour of belt you wear it is about the person you become;...to be a good blackbelt is to be humble and respectful amongst other things." -Dobbersky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chitsu Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Currently working on Naihanchi and the complexities of generating power from the tanden.As Motobu said - if you turn to the side in Naihanchi dachi you have a very effective fighting position.Chitsu look at the moon, not my finger.

Blade96 Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 only was introduced to it once on tuesdaybut me being a fast learner,I already know a little more than half of Heian Nidan.Give me like 2 more classes and I'll know the whole 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.
