Same, Heian Nidan :)

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.

I don't know very many right now, but so far my favorite is our variation on Ananku from Shorin Ryu. I most like it because that's the kata I'm best at. I did it in a competition when I was younger so I worked it and worked it and worked it and so when I was older I had so much muscle memory with the thing I barely had to do anything to relearn it and it's still my best kata. Plus I find a lot of moves in it that are very affective and they're some of my favorite to use in partner drills.

Probably Seipai at the moment, but we have so many kata it is hard to choose just one. I also love Bassai Dai, and one thing I think is funny, we also practice Bassai Syo (Sho) and Matsamura ha Bassai, and I really don't care for them very much. I'm not really sure why I love one kata over another -- I'll have to think about it more.

Wankan! A misunderstood kata, imho, even by high dan ranks.

Btw, if those of you here love Heian Nidan, wait until you do Heian Yondan because you'll love it more than Heian Nidan.
