Espina Posted March 12, 2009 Author Share Posted March 12, 2009 Hey Grego, Do you compete in Kata? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grego Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Espina, I don't currently know any more Kata. I'm just getting back into Karate, after a six year hiatus (Or the US Army).But no, I've never competed in Kata. I'm more of a sparring type.

Grego Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 And alot of the Okinawan Styles share Kata, because all the founders of those styles were taught those Kata by the same peopleOSensei Chitose very famously only studied the Kata Seisan for about 7 or 8 years before learning any others.

Grego Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 supposedly these Kata were actually modeled after real fights. I think it was a way to teach martial arts by disguising them as dance. *shrugs*Anyways, my sensei created his own kata. It was based on a fight he got into when he was a bouncer Green Belt, Chito-RyuLevel II, US Army Combativeshttps://www.chito-ryukempo.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traymond Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 The dance things seems to be believeable if it comes from okinawan arts, especially with king sho hashi... To fear death is to limit life - Xin Sarith Azuma Phan Wuku Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
