Dobbersky Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Yes Bassai Dai nice kata too,remember when i was learning that for my 1st dan,my instructor told me that if i was not knackered after doing that kata i was not doing it properly!Agreed, love Bassai Dai and Nijushiho too!If was only allowed 2 traditional kata, it would be these 2 from Shoto-KanOSU "Challenge is a Dragon with a Gift in its mouth....Tame the Dragon and the Gift is Yours....."

DoctorQui Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Definitely Bassai Dai!I just learned it and love it, its so powerful and I'm always out of breath afterwards. Got my grading tomorrow morning where I have to do it (Brown White) so a bit nervous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassaiNige Posted June 23, 2012 Author Share Posted June 23, 2012 As for the nerves Doctor,whenever I was grading I always found it was like going to the dentist,the thought of it was worse,once you are there and get started its not so bad.A previous instructor of mine once said to me before a grading,just treat it like another lesson.
